My fault, I should have clarified better...earlier someone mentioned that they felt a lot of the winners were too bland for an all-winners season and they would prefer another Unfinished Business season instead, so my comment was going off of that. My bad for the confusion.

cbacbacba1:
I don't mind if they can give us the cast of following winners:

TAR31 Colin & Christie
TAR29 Brooke & Scott
TAR25 Amy & Maya
TAR21 Josh & Brent
TAR19 Ernie & Cindy
TAR17 Nat & Kat
TAR14 Tammy & Victor

With the above teams, I can accept having Dave & Connor on it  :lol:

theschnauzers:
First, I don’t believe any winning team that has already run a second race should be included. Second, casting should go back from TAR 1 and go forward from there to include the first 11 willing and available winning teams that had never previously returned.

^This!  :lol:

But yeah, TAR unfortunately doesn't have a lot of dynamic winners. There are much better runners up (2nd and 3rd placers) who could easily fill 11 slots.

My trouble with that is a.) that automatically disqualifies both Kisha/Jen and Colin/Christie, who I would think are stronger sells for pitching this season, and b.) if we were to give a higher priority to older seasons, we would have potential for S15 levels of gender imbalance with 6 M/M teams being eligible before the first F/F team (possibly 7 if the Linz's are available and choose 2 brothers).

You want a strong season with a diverse cast- teams like Kisha/Jen are needed to help balance the gender ratio, whereas I don't know if we necessarily need Dan/Jordan, Chris/Alex, Riechen/Chip, AND Tyler/James all on one season.

I'd personally want some underdog type teams like Amy/Maya or Josh/Brent to see if they can prove it wasn't a fluke, teams that can grind their way deep into the game by staying consistent like Kisha/Jen or Kelsey/Joey; dominant teams like Bates/Anthony or Colin/Christie to see if they can continue to be top contenders; fun throwbacks like Rob/Brennan or BJ/Tyler; controversial picks like Brooke/Scott or Cody/Jessica.

Get a good mix of new and old, some returning for the first time in over a decade, and some more recent multi-season veterans.  It could prove to be a dynamic season (especially if the teams aren't all getting a sterilized winner's edit).
