Will they, won't they....
This is the place!
:ghug:
-
They better not....
-
Suddenly, I hope they do!
-
I'd like the task designers from pre-season-12 to come back
-
Peach (or really anyone) when did we get the person who had previously designed tasks for Survivor?
-
Oh gosh...
found it!
SEASON 11
From wiki:
Challenge producer Alan Bishop was hired to design new tasks and challenges for this season. Bishop was responsible for challenges in past installments of Survivor (Vanuatu, Guatemala, Panama).

But adding that appaerently he hasn't been with TAR for quite a while now.
-
Will they, won't they....
Will they, won't they do what? Who are "they"? :duno:
-
All right Peach, spill it! All this teasing is not worthy of you. :'( As you say, "speculation goes here". Start speculating! :<)
-
:lol: I think Peach said that because...
"Will they?" and "Won't they?" are words we oftenly use in speculating. :lol3:
-
I don't know whatever it is georgiapeach is basing her speculation on (or the specifics), but I've been involved with TAR as a viewer from the beginning, and I think the circumstantial evidence supports her speculation.
We've seen no evidence of an application period for TAR 18; at the time, the application period for TAR 11 was not the normal, and it became apparent soon thereafter that TAR 11 application period that something was afoot, especially from the Racer community. In addition, there are some programming factors that points towards the speculation as having some weight. These include: the impending 10th anniversary of TAR's filming its first season (February 2011), the fact that CBS had a 10th anniversary edition for Survivor, the unusual solicitation of ideas, feedback etc, from Jerry Bruckheimer *whose company rarely does thinks like this), the fact that Phil recently raised a discussion of a celebrity format at this particular time, and I'm sure I'm not remembering all of them at the moment. But there's an old expression -- "Where there's smoke, there's fire," and mein Gott, there's been a lot of smoke lately. So to me the circumstances plus the fact that we know from observation and experience that peorgiapeach has her sources and her means of getting information about the production side of the Race, I trust GP's judgment about what is going on. I'd just wish there was something concrete about TAR 18 to come out of CBS, Jerry Bruckheimer, or World Race Productions, to alleviate the anxiety level about the spring.

Has anyone seen Luke around here? I know he has posted from time to time on here, but I haven't seen him in a while...

Yup. Actually, he is a player here in the Fantasy Games thread, and quit the game he's in about a month ago, I believe? ???

True!, and it came from nowhere as well. I quit he said, and it was a month ago...??

Well if this is a thread about speculating on possible contestents for TAR 18.....I would like to see
Tony and Dallas.....
If they go back to other years........then....
Jon and Kris too

Hmmm...... from Phil's suggestion, I get All Stars versus Celebrities?
I am both intrigued and fearful at the idea.

Can't players from unrepresented seasons from All Stars 1 return? Like season 4, 6 and 8?

Season 8 was a Family Edition season. That might be tough. I'd love teams from Seasons 4 & 6 -- as long as they don't include Jonathan the Jerk & Victoria. I don't ever want to see them again! Jonathan gave me a terrible headache and who wants that experience again? :meow:

It's an old wife's tale Cocoa, not that i don't believe you she's pregnant, but she certainly doesn't have a watermelon. Someone's baby maybe...

All I can say about that is - YUCK, please no. :groan:
All-Stars 2 or a Fans vs. Favorites type of thing is okay, but no celebs - we've had enough celebrity teams in the past for more than one Celebrity Edition already. :res:
-
I can't speak for why there are no application forms up on the CBS website, but during the premiere a casting call was announced for the Philadelphia area at what I believe is the new casino in town. It was on Wednesday, and I would've gone, but I don't know what to make of the age limit now that we've had a 20 year old and a 19 year old, even if they are minor celebrities.
-
Well I hope they'll consider Amanda & Kris. They're engaged now.

IF they decide to use former racers, this is what I would like to see.
12 legs and 15 teams at start.....

No
Hmm 15 teams is just too much. There'll be teams who'd be ignored totally in the edit (just like how the 20 players seasons of Survivors are) I think 12 is a great number to start with.

If they are all former racers.........we already know who they are.......right? What's the use of spending screentime on the losers?
If you watch a NASCAR race.....do you spend time looking at who is at the tail end????????
If you watch the Kentucky Derby, do you watch the horses at the back of the pack?
By the way Danooky, you almost figured it out. You do have to think a bit. You could do the same thing with 13 Episodes and 16 Teams....
I do mean a standard Finale with only 3 teams.
The only limiting factor I could see, does WRP have enough soundman/cameraman crews to follow that many teams.
-
I do mean a standard Finale with only 3 teams.
I just assumed you weren't a fan of double eliminations
-
Yeah I am not the biggest fan of the non elimination leg. I really hate when a team gets saved by two of them.
-
I am a fan of making them all be on their toes at all time, race all the time......TAR11 was pretty boring to me....too many NELS and lazy racers....
They would all know they have to race.....and somewhere down the line there is a "mid-course correction" LOL
Anyway....right or wrong.....that is my wish. If you dont like it.....fine......post your own wish.
-
I'd say TAR should have a NEL only when a leg relies heavily on a luck task (haybales, roulettes, etc)

-

It's not. Just saying they have to get past the F7 to be eligible for an All-Stars run. If they do, they could be eligible. If they go next, they won't be.

Is there a rule somewhere that states a team is only eligible for All Stars if they finish higher than 7th, or is this just your opinion/speculation?
-
No, of course there is no such rule, it just Paron.
-
*SPEC*
Due to the high energy they're bringing to this season and their racing consistency, I'd think Gary & Mallory would make a great casting choice for All-Stars 2, regardless of their final ranking.
-
No, of course there is no such rule, it just Paron.
If you wanna be a witch about it. . . .
And yes, there is. Everyone who got cast last time finished sixth or higher in their original season. The only one who didn't was for some dumb reason I can't fathom, and the show still hasn't accurately explained it.

The show doesn't have to explain it, Paron, that is the point. They can choose anyone they want, there are no "rules", whether you fathom it or not.
That's why we had a 19 year old this season, when the rules say "21"
And guess I know what I'm going to be for Halloween!! :funny:

Danielle, eliminated 4th in TAR 9, won TAR Allstars....so that blows your "formula." Time to change your formula or wax up the old Quiji board and pull another theory out of the ether.
Now as to Gary/Mallory....I would much rather watch them in a former racers TAR as opposed to some other team like David/Mary that might have finished higher in later races.

Any news of Carol and Brandy, Margie and Luke, Terence and Sarah and Ken and Tina? They're potentials that TAR producers might be looking for again. We all know what's Ken and Tina doing though.. not sure about the other 3 teams.

If I'm not mistaken, Luke hasn't posted on this site in a few months. In the past, he was a bit of a regular.

Kynt and Vyxsin also said at the end of Season 12 that "The Pink and Black Attack Will Never Stop Racing"
I think it means nothing more than they will continue appearing together in their YouTube videos.

Anyhow...back to the speculation
I think Zev & Justin deserve another shot after their unfortunate elimination, I wouldn't mind them returning.

Do you know when they are posting the application for TAR 18? Also, are they going to different cities for tryouts? Being on the Amazing Race is a lifetime goal, and I would love any information anyone can give me. Thanks

Prophet, I know you are new around here, but us that have been around for a while have learned that its best just to trust Peach. She's earned it.

I don't disbelieve that it is an allstars I just wonder if there is any hard evidence.

Don't worry, each and every single newbie goes through this phase of distrust, you need to make a little leap of faith :tup:
-
The question, though, is is this season a full all-star or a half-assed one?
-
Well apparently there was never an application for Amazing Race 18... unless someone missed it..
So that would assume that it is an All-Star season..
although they could have had finalists from the past that they wanted to put together as a cast for Amazing Race 18 and didn't need to look for anyone.

Your last statement may be true, calibound. They may have been postponing "superteams" like Meghan and Cheyne b\c they wanted ambiguity.
Wikipedia's link to the application form on the TAR 18 article is really the TAR 17 application form as is CBS's. Go figure.
-
just so theres no confusion,
when i say finalists i mean teams that almost made it onto the show but ended up not being picked..
for example, 11 teams were picked, but there were other teams that could have possibly made it onto the show..
i wasn't referring to finalists as in those making it to the top 3 (finale show of the season)
that would be the same as how they would cast an allstar season, they wouldnt need an application because they are casting Former amazing racers..
but if they cast former amazing race hopefuls who came close to making it on the show, they wouldnt need the application and it wouldnt be considered an allstar season. it would be like any other season

I hope this is in the right topic.
I was reading a blog post from Cord McCoy on pbrnow.com and it says he'll be "M.I.A. for awhile". I know he is getting married on Nov 13th, then going on his honeymoon, but to me, it seems strange that you would say "M.I.A. for awhile"?

I don't think he will be racing with his brother a week after he gets back from his honeymoon though. He said himself on leg 10 that if he was to travel the world again, he would do it with somebody else.
-
Well the Amazing Race would be the perfect honeymoon
or could his wife not be on the race because she isnt a former racer?

After going through all of this sort of speculation, including the methodology of choosing, over a period of years for what became season 11, I'm not getting into it this time around.
As I indicated early on in the TAR 18 speculation thread, what we get this time is going to be based on whatever "pattern" or method of selection the cast that TPRB decide to use. And either it will be cast in a better manner this time around or it won't. I'm not going to spend any of my energy speculating with zero information, which is all we have it terms of specifics. Trying to read the tea leaves isn't productive for me.
Last time around, the route and the tasks made up for some of the casting choices in season 11. I'm just going to sit back and wait and see what comes of it. No stress, no worries!

it would be nice if they did something like Survivor Heroes vs Villains where they bring back old challenges (of course if it is an all star race)
-
That idea was brought up in the run up to season 11, but that didn't happen. All we've seen is the one switchback.
It would be fun to re-create single legs from each season with the same tasks in the same locations, even if this mean those came from before season 12, and have the teams all come from after season 11. Then we'd see which returning teams had ever really studied the past of the show and drawn the lessons they should have from those earlier seasons.
But truthfully, I don't expect to see that.
-
Honestly, I'd love that, but at the same time, the spoilers will be very obvious since detectives can easily get information (by means of locations and maybe perhaps teams since this is AS2) and they don't want that to happen.
But 1 leg full of Amazing Race memories would be awesome. :tup:
-
I hope Flight Time and Big Easy are in the race. They are true All Star racers, and entertaining to watch. To me there were a few teams I actually liked, and I pretty much stuck around just to watch them race. I think all in all I liked like 2 teams including them, the other being Zev and Justin.
So yeah hoping Flight Time and Big Easy are back. It wouldn't be an all star race without them.
-

She's going to get a complex if he leaves again. :rodeo :smooch: :dance: :dontgo: :escape :'(

Personally, I want Zev & Justin back, since I could relate to them. I have Asperger's Syndrome and it would be nice to see Zev & Justin avoid the error they made with their possessions this time!

Feel free to make suggestions and your own casts. I'd like to hear if you think that any of these will or won't come on for what ever reason.

I thought this thread was supposed to stay free of wishlists (including fantasies, dreams, etc.)

Yes, please.

Yes, please.
Sorry didn't see that rule. Are we sticking to facts on here?

I don't know whatever it is georgiapeach is basing her speculation on (or the specifics), but I've been involved with TAR as a viewer from the beginning, and I think the circumstantial evidence supports her speculation.
We've seen no evidence of an application period for TAR 18; at the time, the application period for TAR 11 was not the normal, and it became apparent soon thereafter that TAR 11 application period that something was afoot, especially from the Racer community. In addition, there are some programming factors that points towards the speculation as having some weight. These include: the impending 10th anniversary of TAR's filming its first season (February 2011), the fact that CBS had a 10th anniversary edition for Survivor, the unusual solicitation of ideas, feedback etc, from Jerry Bruckheimer *whose company rarely does thinks like this), the fact that Phil recently raised a discussion of a celebrity format at this particular time, and I'm sure I'm not remembering all of them at the moment. But there's an old expression -- "Where there's smoke, there's fire," and mein Gott, there's been a lot of smoke lately. So to me the circumstances plus the fact that we know from observation and experience that peorgiapeach has her sources and her means of getting information about the production side of the Race, I trust GP's judgment about what is going on. I'd just wish there was something concrete about TAR 18 to come out of CBS, Jerry Bruckheimer, or World Race Productions, to alleviate the anxiety level about the spring.
This makes a lot of sense, with all of that it would be a big surprise to not see an all stars or celebrity this time.

Okay... moving on. :lol:

Well I hope they'll consider Amanda & Kris. They're engaged now.
I'd like to see them again too.

:toast

Regarding my post from September 24th -- we did get a press release out of CBS confirming TAR 18 for the spring, with no mention of application periods or the normal casting process.
An anvil couldn't make it any more obvious at this point. Now it just a question of who has been cast -- and I'm impressed by the total lack of rumors or leaks from the Racer community. They've learned when to say nothing.
-
Yes, please.

This is for speculation on possible contestants. Feel free to speculate away, we won't need this much longer. :lol:

These lists people are putting out look surprisingly similar. It will be interesting to see how close we are to the real cast.
Is anyone here familiar with that survey that Bruckheimer put out about favorite teams?

I think that the cast will be similar to what most people have here. How can they not put in likeable teams that raced well?
I remember for season 11, that Phil said they weren't looking for the best racers, they were looking for the most outstanding and memorable teams. Not sure whether that criteria would apply for this season though.

Given the cast that resulted in, I hope different criteria get used this time around.

Haha, that's a pretty good sum up of season 11. :lol:

This is my list of teams that MIGHT be on...
TAR 12
Ronald and Christina (Strong, competitive team with a great story)
Kynt and Vyxsin (Very consistent and not to mention unique racers)
TAR 13
Ken and Tina (Strong team who worked out their marriage problems on the race. It'd be nice to see them race with their "new" marriage.)
Toni and Dallas (Consistent team, out due to a stupid mistake and deserve another chance.)
TAR 14
Margie and Luke (Competitive, popular team that came pretty close to winning)
Mel and Mike (Strong team that will bring humour to the show)
TAR 15
Brian and Ericka (Zebra love! They'll bring some life to the show.)
Maria and Tiffany (Liar poker players that did pretty well and might have another chance at this)
TAR 16
Jet and Cord (Super strong team that came so close to the million)
Carol and Brandy (Drama, drama)
TAR 17
Brook and Claire (Strong, consistent team with loads of positive energy)
Gary and Mallory (Energizer bunny!!!)
Other possible teams
Azaria and Hendekea (Strong team that got out too early) - TAR 12
Terence and Sarah (Consistent team with interesting personalities) - TAR 13
Nick and Starr or Meghan and Cheyne (Winners of many legs and the whole race, but I believe they'll cast one or the other, IF they do cast them. I kinda hope that they won't cast any winners.) - TAR 13, TAR 15
Connor and Jonathan (Generally strong and super funny guys, they didn't have a good placing at the end but I hope that placings will not be the main factor in deciding the teams.) - TAR 17

I think Azaria & Hendekea don't have interesting enough stories but I wouldn't mind seeing them if they get in the Race again.
I wouldn't mind Mel & Mike being on instead of Amanda & Kris. But if they put in a funny team, I think they'll put in Team Glee (Connor & Jonathan), whom I did consider as a possible team for the All-Stars edition.
I'd like to see Maria & Tiffany get another shot but I put Zev & Justin in because I wanted them in more than the poker players. I doubt they'll put in Nick & Starr or even Megan & Cheyne, although I liked the latter team.

I agree with almost all of these choices. Props to you for remembering Azaria and Hendekea. :tup:
I would put in Amanda and Kris instead of Mel and Mike though, I do not consider them a strong team. This would leave us with only one MM team but nobody seems to care about those.
I do kind of share the sentiment that they should not cast any winners as it would be king of boring to have a team win twice. I tend to think that Meghan and Cheyne would win if they came back, although it may be that the other teams that year were so strong that they made them look better.
I would not be surprised if Connor and Jonathan come back especially if Brooke and Claire win.

I don't want any early eliminees on All Stars. So I hope they don't cast Connor and Jonathan.

I agree. Funny too watch does not equal an All Star. If you are going to have an All Star season have teams that raced well and made it to the top 5 or so in their season. Call it "Fan Favorites" or something if you're going to put people like Connor or Jonathan on it.

It hasn't been called an All Star race by anyone but viewers. The only spoiler we have is that it is a race of former racers.....

That's very true, there are many possibilities that could occur under that description. I would not be surprised if it did not have the same format/selection process of TAR 11.

It would be different to see teams from the old introduction in the new introduction. :neener:

It was hard enough to have one team composed in a Frankenstein manner in the first "former Racers" edition.....I dread the idea of it happening again, whether its just one team or more than one team.

Very true. I just made the remark because the assumption on the board is that this will be called an All Star season. Naturally, CBS and WRP can do whatever they please, but if they're bringing back former racers then I would love to see a bunch of teams that ran great races but came short. The competition would be phenomenal.

Other possible teams
Azaria and Hendekea (Strong team that got out too early) - TAR 12
Terence and Sarah (Consistent team with interesting personalities) - TAR 13
Nick and Starr or Meghan and Cheyne (Winners of many legs and the whole race, but I believe they'll cast one or the other, IF they do cast them. I kinda hope that they won't cast any winners.) - TAR 13, TAR 15
Connor and Jonathan (Generally strong and super funny guys, they didn't have a good placing at the end but I hope that placings will not be the main factor in deciding the teams.) - TAR 17
As much as I loved watching Connor & Jonathan, I don't think they'd make it on TAR18 just because they finished in 9th place, and I believe Connor is currently working in South Korea, and he just started a few weeks ago, so I don't think he's in any position right now to take another month off of work.
Since everyone else is throwing their fantasy teams into the mix, I'll do mine, I guess.
TK & Rachel - TAR12 (The only winners I'd want to see back. I hate when one team dominates the whole race.)
Kynt & Vyxsin -TAR12 (By far the most unique racers they've ever had.)
Toni & Dallas - TAR13 (If I remember correctly, a parent/child team has never won, and I think they could give it another serious shot.)
Mel & Mike - TAR14 (Very likeable team.)
Jaime & Cara - TAR14 (Very strong competitors.)
Margie & Luke - TAR14 (Awesome team. Would rather see them again than bickering couples.)
Flight Time & Big Easy - TAR15 (Yeah, no one likes stuntcasting and all, but they were very fun to watch.)
Carol & Brandy - TAR16 (Give 'em a chance to run the race without the "mean lesbians" label. But I also don't think they're stil together...)
Jet & Cord - TAR16 (Everybody loves them. Plain and simple.)
Nat & Kat - TAR17 (My favorite F/F team ever. I'm really pulling for them!)
Gary & Mallory - TAR17 (I realize I've put a lot of Parent/Child teams on here now, but Gary's the man and Mal's fearless!)

Not me :lol:
-
my picks:
TAR 12: Nathan and Jennifer (brought a lot of drama to the race, and they were one of the stronger forces on that season)
TAR 12: Kynt and Vyxsin (very consistant team, worked really well together complete opposite of my other TAR 12 pick) and so unique)
TAR 13: Kelly and Christy (formiddable team once they settled into the race, felt they were cut off right as they were hitting their stride)
TAR 13: Terence and Sarah (very consistant team and very tough, knocked out only because of losing the FF)
TAR 14: Margie and Luke (super competitive, super determined, very formidable team)
TAR 14: Kisha and Jen (flew under the radar a bit, but still were a physically dominant team)
TAR 15: Flight Time and Big Easy (strong team, only had a couple hiccups along the way (one ending in their demise))
TAR 15: Brian and Ericka (just to see how far they would (or wouldn't) get a second time around)
TAR 16: Jet and Cord (very likeable, probably the strongest team of that season)
TAR 16: Jeff and Jordan (i feel they would do better a second time around, they kinda got screwed in Hamburg)
TAR 17: Michael and Kevin (suprisingly formiddable team, could cause some majore surprises a second time around as well)
TAR 17: Nat and Kat (one of, if not the strongest teams this season, but only if they don't win... no former winners please)
i have a feeling it'll be 12 teams again this time around
-
Idea! How about we start sniffing around to see if any teams from S12 to S17 are suddenly MIA?

It's funny that you said that particular thing since we recently discussed Cord saying that:
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23391.msg571798.html#msg571798
Anyway about him, he got married this past Saturday (the 13th) and is reportedly on his honeymoon in Maui. So I guess he has an excuse for being missing.
I'll try to look around for other activity.

As far as I can see, no one has drastically been absent from FB Activity. And besides, I think the "former racers" were not yet sequestered (or maybe not yet finalized casting, idk), so it would be very hard to pinpoint if this or that. :(

Surely they would have casting finalized by now. Wouldn't they? I would expect them to start filming in the next couple of weeks. I'm just thinking in regards to people being home by Christmas.

Yes, as I detailed over here: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23383.msg572125.html#msg572125, they never film on Christmas. I would think they will begin either this weekend or next.

I could be wrong here, but I believe they try to have the teams home for Thanksgiving as well. If so, we should expect a start a week or so after next Thursday.

Yeah, they have in the past two seasons but they did not used to. Seasons 7, 9, and 11 all filmed on Thanksgiving.
-

Well maybe not the race teams, but maybe for the crew/production staff. When they started filming TAR 16 last year on the Sat after Thur Thanksgiving, the race teams were obviously in sequestor and separated from families.

About how long before the start date do they go into sequester usually?

I wouldn't be at all surprised, Cocoa. If there was one team that most people had on their ARAS2 list, it was Kynt and Vyxsin. If this is true, then it will be good for us, because they will certainly draw attention to themselves with their 'unique' styles of dress. Photos hopefully will arise!
Anyone else seen FB posts from possible contestants change like this? Sequester should begin within a week at most, because as some have said the race needs to begin soon!

Cord McCoy updated his Twitter on Monday after going dormant since the tenth. He was married on the 13th and was allegedly going on their Maui trip as a honeymoon. Anyone know how many nights that was supposed to be? He also tweeted yesterday but not today.
I think that "trip" is possibly a cover up or they will go straight from it to sequester in Cali; if he really goes to Maui for an extended time he will probably miss sequester and not race this time. I'll continue to keep an eye on him.
-
I just wonder Kris and Amanda may race in All-star. Amanda changed her head photo on FB by a photo that she and Kris on a CBS board.
-
I'm afraid I won't be following the teams until they are clearly sequestered/starting the race: who knows? Obviously tracking them might endanger their status on the race, IMO. I know these are "former racers" not an ordinary TAR, but I'll respect their privacy. :tup:
-
Since they are "vets," being former racers.....I really doubt that the sequestor will be very long. Not like with the 1st timers, going over all the stuff. I would think they could have gone into sequestor today and be racing by Sat.

I think they'll be off within a day or 2. Peach has updated the thread with live tweets etc...looks like the race is set to go!

So this thread is pretty much over right?
:boot:
-
I guess we'll find out soon, but I do want to throw out one final theory I've been toying with. Is it possible that this race would feature 11 all-star racers racing with a new partner? From what I've found in this thread, Claire is pregnant and Cord just got married, but I can't imagine an All-Star season without Jet & Cord or Brook & Claire. Is it possible that maybe Cord could be racing with his new wife, Brook could be racing with another partner (her application video was essentially her auditioning with two different partners and letting CBS choose who they would want her to race with), and 9 other past race/new partner combinations?
Personally, I don't really know if I would like to see this, but I just thought I'd throw it out there in case it actually ends up happening.
-
Better that team format than combining members of two different original teams.
And that team format isn't far off of the one I would favor if there ever was a celeb edition -- celeb plus non-celeb friend or family member. (Just saying.)
I seriously think anytime after today is a possible start time. Many people travel as early as the Friday preceding Thanksgiving to take the whole week of Thanksgiving off, and this is in many ways the best week to sneak teams into sequester to prepare for the Race. By the time folks realize they're AWOL, the race could be one-third or more finished filming.

I have wondered about that as well, I would find that interesting. I still kind of think that they will do a slightly different format from last time because of the general discontent with TAR 11. I would almost be surprised to see a copy of that format.
How do you know about Brook's audition video? I can't imagine a year without B/C and J/C either.
Who else does anyone think would go with someone else?
-
My thoughts on who would go with another partner:
As has already been mentioned, Jet and his wife Sara and Brook with another random friend (she doesn't really know Claire all that well and probably doesn't care who she goes with) (and Brook's not married yet and Claire is right?)
Not Meghan and Cheyne (aren't they married now?)
How about for a "Eric and Danielle team" Dallas and Starr (the names are just too funny anyway)
Tammy of Tammy/Victor might :duno:
You would think that Kynt and Vyxsin would have to go together, but maybe their FB status means that they were not going to see each other for a while
Didn't Brent and Caite break up?
One of Jaime and Cara could
Same for Kisha and Jen, Connor and Jonathan, Sam and Dan, etc.
Maybe I got a little carried away with that idea...

My absolute pet peeve would be hybrid teams on an All Star season. I hope there won't be any hybrid teams. I want original teams please. No Eric/Daniels again.
If they even dare introducing a new person who was never on the race before, I would ****ing lose it. Its call ALL STARS. Not "A Star teaming up with someone who hasn't been on this show before."

Well it may not be an "All Stars" as you are defining it.......we have tried to keep it low key till we find out. All we know is, it is some kind of "former racers" format......so dont get your hopes up to high. But I am with you, I hope it is only orginal teams.
-
Personally, I want to see another All-Stars race, I like seeing them back against other great teams...I hope it's straight ARAS2

Well, the other ideas we were discussing are certainly only speculation. There is no proof either way.
-

I still dont know why people called the first one All Stars......it certainly wasn't that.........no way David and Mary were anything close to All Star.....same with Danille....all nice people but certainly not All Star material.
I see people making the same mistake again and being disappointed when we find out which teams it is.
Having said that........what is the criteria that would constitue a "TAR All Star" team and not just Fan Favorite Teams. I know on TAR 11....there are teams I would classify as "All Star" but most of them were more Fan Favorites to me.
-
Exactly, DrRox.
I've also been thinking, something that's been missing for me that we had in earlier seasons that people may say isn't true but I believe it is, is that we always love an underdog, and teams like Linda and Karen, Momily, Meredith and Gretchen, Fran and Barry (older, less capable teams) are great favourites. And I want to see a team that did very well, were loved by everyone, but could still bring some fire to the race...probably rules Meredith and Gretchen out then lol...
However if it is racers from 12-17, who could there be?

I suppose a strong team with a good average finish that possibly even attended the final.
I agree that TAR 11 was a fan favorites year and am afraid that this one will be too. That seems to be the only way that CBS can satisfy the viewers.
For instance Kynt and Vyxsin seem to be everyone's favorites to return, but I do not consider them a strong team. The "All-Stars" seasons seem to be a way for them to resurrect unusual teams that were well liked but not very good. That is why season 11 was so odd.

Fan Faves is important as well, but Prophet, what I meant was an older team, underdog team that we rooted for. How old are Karen and Linda?

At the time of airing TAR 5 they were listed at 41 and 45. That was in 2004 so they are now 47 and 51.
-
If any teams could come back from pre-11, they would be high on my list along with Colin and Christie
-
Pre-11, I would like to see Linda/Karen, Colin/Christie and Jon/Kriss. But Jon/Kriss might be too busy. They just had the one year anniversary of their bar in Cabo.....they just might be too busy down there to race.
-
I don't mind the previous placements, as long as they enjoy the experience (like Gary & Mallory and the Gleeks)
-
I absolutely loved TAR 11, it is my most favourite season to date! :hearts:
I hope they don't cast too many former winners. :knuckles:
I wonder if there is a possibility for 3rd-time racers(like how Rob was on Survivor, 3 times). But since it's expected to be from Season 12 onwards, I think it won't happen most likely. :neener:
-

This. I don't care who ends up racing, as long as the hybrid team format dies. No offense to anyone.
-
I actually did'nt mind Eric & Danielle being teamed up together. I suppose if they had'nt won TAR 11, people would'nt have disliked Hybrid Teams very much. :duno: ;)
-
Justin tweets regularly, but hasn't tweeted since Tuesday. Zev doesn't tweet regularly, but last tweeted "Let the good times roll" on Wednesday.
These two might be coming back.
-

Here's the funny part -- Before that season aired, I predicted they would win on the strengths of Eric's ability to race extremely well. I had no objection to Eric coming back, I just felt it should have been with Jeremy, as they were the most capable team ever cast. They still are, by objective measurement.

Yep.....Eric should have raced with Jeremy.....but racing with Danielle showed just how good he really was....dragging her around the world......2 races, one 1st and one 2nd....at least best single racer so far. I miss his dad not posting on here.

Is Tiffany trying too hard to convince us she isn't coming back by making vague TAR references?

Each time I step off an airplane & DON'T have to go running, I am happy. Being able to casually stroll through an airport is a treat!
1 hour ago
BTW - pretty sure she isn't racing in TAR 18 - she's booked at a casino tomorrow in Michigan. But I have noticed that some ex-racers are doing some extra tweeting and Facebook posting lately.

Tina of Ken and Tina (Runner-Up, TAR13) raced in a TAR style fireball run from Sep. 23rd to Oct. 2nd. She hasn't been online here since. I talked to her about if she would like to be on the show for a second time and she said she would love to have the possibility. This was around the time she stopped logging in, around the time 'Auditions' for this arose. If you want a 'older team' in their 50's...Tina is 49? Then I think you might have it...They would be the ideal 'older' team for ARAS2

I haven't heard from Luke and Margie for a long long time... i'm not sure if we're allowed to share their facebook status here. :duno:
-
If it's All-Stars 12-17 TAR editions then:
TAR 12: Kynt and Vyxsin, Ronald and Christina, Nathan and Jennifer
TAR 13: Ken and Tina, Terence and Sarah, Nick and Starr
TAR 14: Margie and Luke, Kisha and Jen
TAR 15: Meghan and Cheyne (bit boring), Sam and Dan, FT and BE? (yes no?)
TAR 16: Jet and Cord (only 1 really)
TAR 17: Nat and Kat, Gary and Mallory, Michael and Kevin
Cut that down to 11 and I think you've got your race!
Brook and Claire, sad they cannot make it. This is an all-star team imo!
-
I don't want the Globetrotters (I just don't like teams that aren't as into the RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE as I am, no matter how fun and Yeah-I'd-have-a-beer-with-them-in-real-life they are) but they were stunt-cast the first time and I guess they went for stunt cast again. I don't want Kevin of Michael&Kevin. Looks like I'm going to get both. For that, Gary Ervin better be cast again and Gary and Mallory better win this time! He's my favorite contestant in a long time and they cast so many jerk boyfriends, Gary should be brought back to stand in stark contrast again for what a real man is. He's a huge fan of the show to boot.
-
personally, I'd rather not see The Globetrotters and Kevin and Michael again...
-
I'm REALLY upset that Brooke and Claire won't be able to compete :(
Dangit Claire!

Anyway, that quote from him can hardly have to do with the race. It would be way too obvious, if he was really on AllStars with them why would he be telling that on Twitter?

What all this talk about "wrong fans"? As if Kynt and Vyxsin bring good fans to the show. Or anything worth watching, for that matter.

1- What does this have to do with Kynt and Vyxsin?
2- Yes, wrong fans. The people who are only watching because some guy on youtube told them to are the wrong fans. The people who will boycott the show because that guy on youtube got eliminated are the wrong fans.
The people who watch the show to see the places, to see a race and to see how people respond to the situations foreign to them, however, are the right fans.
People shouldn't watch the show just because they will see a guy who makes slightly (but thats my opinion) amusing videos on the internet.
Ep 6 (The Wulander's last episode): 11.01 million viewers.
Ep 7: 10.54 million viewers.
This suggests to me that we had about 500 thousand of the wrong fans watching. Putting these C and D list "celebrities" on the show is only going to alienate the loyal fan base. But I suspect I've gone on a rather long winded tangent.
-
I'm just saying that Kynt and Vyxsin put a bad spin on the show by making it seem off the wall. While they may make a lot of people watch the show b\c they're so weird, it's not a good way to portray TAR.

Why is it? It WEIRD=BAD? They're different and you should not discriminate against them since they're goth and not the "usual American." I would actually love to see them back on the race.
BTW, I don't think this is actual Speculation but more of a wish/hope.

Here's hoping that the race will start soon so that this topic will be over. It's getting a little crazy, no?

I think the race will start tomorrow... :hearts: :hearts:
Because the 12 of december there will be the final party of tar 17 ....and isn't possible that Phil ,the crew and other won't be there
Tomorrow is 20 november....about 20 -21 days...the race will finish just in time for final party..

However, is very probably to see again Gary and Mallory... :tup:
But also Marge and Luke(for sure) ,Ron and Christina , Toni and Dallas..(a season of parents and their children... :colors)
Kynt and Vyxsin(for sure 100%)
Ken and Tina
Azaria & Hendekea or Flight Time and Big Easy
Jill and Thomas
Kris and Amanda
Zev and Justin
Jet and Cord
I Think this is the cast for 18 season... :waves: :waves:

Jet and cord no more.. :'( :'( cord posts on facebook 3 hours ago... :'( :'(
and We know that teams are sequestered...
-
I'm becoming more and more trepidous about this season...Tina of Ken and Tina last posted on Facebook, on Thursday, can they still be racing? Jet and Cord obviously aren't going to make it! Brook and Claire, can't be there, this is making me wonder if we are right about it having former teams after all...Maybe its former racers with someone new? Because if this season was ARAS2 and featured teams from 12-17, you couldn't race without Jet and Cord and Brook and Claire, could you...
-

If you look at peach's first comment about All-Stars, she states:
The Amazing Race will be back! Although fans are still waiting for word of an official renewal from CBS for our favorite series, TAR 18 is apparently a definite GO!!
Plans for TAR 18 seem to be well under way. The next season of TAR will reportedly include a group of former racers from Season 12 onwards, and may already be completely casted. At least one round of "final" racer casting interviews has already occurred.
With the lack of any official TAR 18 applications, it has been widely speculated online for months that TAR 18 could be an "All-Stars" of some sort. While that term is not being used officially as of yet, it IS clear that we are going to have another chance to see some of our favorite (and perhaps not so favorite racers) in action again!
Filming is expected to begin later this fall.
I wonder, if it is full-on, returning All-Stars

Many here have wondered this throughout our mostly fruitless arguments on this thread. As I have said I would be partially surprised to see another pure all stars like TAR 11.
Addendum: I know some people think that TAR 11 was not really an "All-Stars" and I agree so let's not start that again.
-
Well personally, I truly hope it is an 'All-Stars' rather than a gimmick season. I don't want to see say Kynt with a new partner etc. No gimmicks!
I hope Jet and Cord and The Greene Team make it for this race...
I'd like 11 teams, 12 legs involving:
Ron and Christina
Kynt and Vyxsin
Ken and Tina
Nick and Starr
Terence and Sarah
Margie and Luke
Sam and Dan
Jet and Cord
Nat and Kat
Gary and Mallory
along with Kisha and Jen or Nathan and Jennifer, of TAR 14 and 12, respectively. Leaning toward Kisha and Jen so there are 7 couples, 2 male teams and 2 female teams.

It seems like sort of overactivity to me. I wonder if the participating teams have been instructed to post something in order to make it look as though they are carrying on their normal lives.
Can any of you share links to these posts, or at least some quotes of what sort of thing they are saying?
-
I am just wondering how they could do a type of All-Stars if Ken and Tina, Brook and Claire, Nat and Kat and Jet and Cord are not involved...
-

I'm not sold that Ken and Tina aren't in the race. If I'm not mistaken, Claire is now pregnant, so that would rule out her and Brooke. On Nat and Kat, maybe they won season 17 and no former winners are on the race? And Jet and Cord are still up in the air...
I agree that those four teams would be missed, but you could still have a great season without them.
-
Why did Claire have to go preggo??? I would love to see her and Brook for another season :'(
-
Nat and Kat are also doctors... Regardless of whether or not they win TAR17 (which I don't know, and don't want to know!), they already took one month of work off at their hospital, so I don't think they'd be able to take another month off so soon after the first one (even if they are 5-6 months away. Americans don't get very many days off a year).

I think that's probably true. It is hard for any team who raced in the year prior to the all stars to return in the same calendar year. The only teams who returned from season 10 were Dustin and Kandice and David and Mary. Those people do not strike me as having very much to do.
Keeping this good qualifier in mind, who could return from this year?
-
Michael & Kevin
Gary & Mallory
Katie & Rachel, maybe?
I don't know for sure. That's all I can think of. Michael and Gary seem like they could be old enough to be retired, Kevin's young, and I don't know what Mallory, Katie, and Rachel do other than look pretty/play volleyball. :duno:
-
Here's what I think:
Chad & Stephanie Possible to return
Jill & Thomas " "
Nick & Vicki I don't think they are too busy pursuing their careers
Brook & Claire Probably not because of Claire, but I know Brook would go again, even with someone else
Nat & Kat Couldn't get the time off
Gary & Mallory They could probably make it happen
Michael & Kevin Pretty much self-employed, a definite possibility
Katie & Rachel I'm not sure how the beach volleyball circuit works. :helpme
Connor & Jonathan I couldn't even venture a guess
Andie & Jenna I don't get from them that they would return
Ron & Tony Have busy careers, Race won't return last place finisher

Why did Claire have to go preggo???
Claire was pregnant for the filming of TAR 17 and didnt know it then.

Well, that would probably be hard to prove. All I know is that she was married on August 7th, and they finished the race in late June. She has had plenty of time to get pregnant since returning.

Since Justin still hasn't tweeted since Tuesday, I'm even more convinced that they'll be at the starting line.
I was trying to see if they were going with a race full of teams that had bad exits. Mark has been actively tweeting, so he and Bill are probably out of the running.
-
Why did Claire have to go preggo???
Claire was pregnant for the filming of TAR 17 and didnt know it then.
Nope. But this is not Claire's GYN office either. :lol:
So drop it boys!

You're right it doesn't matter and can't be proved.

Yeah, it looks like he used to tweet everyday. Same for Cord who also dropped off on the 16th. Mean anything? :duno:
-
Just a hint...I would not pay too much attention to who is posting or twittering or not, this time around! ;)
-

I tended to think so too but now it looks like there are several coincidences. Justin Kanew, Cord McCoy and Vyxsin Fiala used to be post something everyday. Around either late Tuesday the 16th or early Wednesday the 17th they all stopped and have not returned, yet.
Hard to tell what this means.
-
It would be very simple for TPTB to pay former racers not casted to keep a low online profile for a few days. Couple that along with casted racers in sequester, given access to social networking websites. That leaves any former racer to be a possible contestant.

That is the argument for not getting too excited about this evidence. However, it could be that they did not go through that trouble. We really can't know.
-
Guess my hints aren't what they used to be. :lol3:
-
So...it's not all stars after all? Or not in the sense that we all expect?
-
Guess my hints aren't what they used to be. :lol3:
Lol, drop a large hint, then we'll finally get it :) :)
-
I think what Peach is saying is not to write off the people who are still tweeting/posting at this point.
I speculate that, with her mastery of info gathering, she was able to discover that some of the same teams we're writing off are among the teams to actually be racing
but, again, that's just spec.
i think we all just have to sit and wait with our cameras ready in order to really find out who's on it
i mean we pretty much figured out the most likely candidates way back in page 2 or 3, now we're just talking ourselves in circles about facebook posts
let's focus our energy on possible times/days/locations rather than just the "who's"
-
Exactly, I really hope for it to begin in the next 3 days, hopefully tommorow!
-
Just a hint...I would not pay too much attention to who is posting or twittering or not, this time around! ;)
Yea, the CBS officials would want them to keep updating to throw us off i supposed. When all the teams we speculated has a chance of getting on, is now still tweeting/facebooking.. then something is wrong because one of those teams has to be on allstars! How would an allstars work without those teams?? :groan:
-
I know this is an outside chance, but could the teams be teams who finished 6 and below and it's a former racer second chance edition? I doubt it, I just thought I'd throw that in...
-
Luke Adams, of Margie and Luke on the 11th November, sent a message on FB saying: "Next Friday, Joanna Wong and I are off for a 3 week holiday to St. Lucia etc."
Friday was the day I believe the teams were sequestered?...What does this mean do you think?

I think it means they are not going to be on the race, since they are looking at things to do/places to see while in St.Lucia according to the replies to the status. Unless... :duno:
-
Here's what I think:
...
Connor & Jonathan I couldn't even venture a guess
...
Probably not. Connor lives and works in South Korea now, and I think I read that Jonathan is going to be on Broadway again in the Spiderman musical?
-

It could be a throw off, as could Cord's trip to Maui. The race could just as easily be telling them to make up stuff if they are really on it, or if they are not. There's no way to tell.

It's not hard to hire a PR rep to post such things either
-
Could post these things so that people have an idea they are going away, so that they shouldnt worry about them.. However, while at the same time, not letting them know they will be on the Amazing Race.
-
And it's especially fishy that everyone's going to be away at the same time?
I know Margie doesn't post much on facebook.. so you won't actually know if she's away or not. :lol:
-
For completeness sake, I will also say there have also been persistent rumors of a non-TAR team from another reality show being included in this race. I hope they are all just rumors... But the names that kept reoccuring were those of Hayden and either Lane or Enzo from BB, and of course, the ubiquitous Russell.
I believe Hayden, Lane, and Enzo from Big Brother all tweeted today so that would rule them out.
Was it Russell from Survivor or Big Brother 11?
Also, have there been any sightings of Jeff and Jordan from BB11 and Tar16 at Lax?
Are Jet and Cord the only racers from season 16 spotted?
-
Well...it does make sense to include the "All-Star" teams in the video game promo...
and now that I think of it...Kynt & Vyxsin would be the perfect team to exploit the HD on with their vibrant colors and makeup
-
As as as it goes Jeff/Jordan redux would not bother me, especially after Jeff's go at Around The World For Free; and I think they are one team that would perform better the second time around.
The Rodeo and farming schedules would work for Jet/Cord; and they were an extremely popular team on TAR 16, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did go a second time.
I would be surprised if new teams originating from other reality shows showed up if this is supposed to be former Racers. As to Russell Hantz, I hope to heaven that one is false. It is bad enough he's rumored to be on Survivor 22 -- and it would be the height of insanity to have him on two CBS reality shows airing at the same time. I hope CBS casting is not that desperate.
-
May as well call it TAR14-part 2.
-
ew I know.. give us more teams from other seasons..
out of those teams representing TAR 14. I'd say Jaime and Cara, Margie and Luke are the only ones that should be there.
I'm just being bitter though
-
I was so excited for this season, now, not as much.
Than again there are only a few teams that I really love...
Kynt and Vyxsin: - I heard they were entertaining, never saw the season. Will be interesting to watch them.
Amanda and Kris: - WHO? Weren't they eliminated in one of the 1st few episodes by the blind uturn?
Jaime and Cara: A team I was rooting for on their original season<3
Margie and Luke: Once again, I was rooting for them on their original season<3
Kisha and Jen: They seemed boring to me and flew under the radar. Only thing i can remember about them was that they had a rivalry with Margie and Luke.
Mark and Michael: They were.. ok.. Didn't they break the rules several times though? I'd rather see another team
Mel and Mike: They were ok. Wasn't one of the teams i was hoping to see.
Steve and Linda: They were eliminated in the 2nd episode.. I want to see AllStars. Yes they were somewhat entertaining but that was about it. And all she did was cry,cry,cry
Flighttime and Big Easy: They were ok... They techinquely quit though the first time by giving up on the roadblock and incurring a penalty. I mean they are better than some of the other teams i guess that found their way onto this AllStars season
Zev and Justin: They were fun and had some good lines. It will be nice to see them get a 2nd chance since they lost their passport first time around
Jet and Cord: They belong on this race
Gary and Mallory: Loved them on TAR 17.
Michael and Kevin: Loved them on TAR 17
i still wish Nat and Kat/Brooke and Claire were on this (SINCE i guess they aren't. One of them better win TAR 17). Or another team from TAR 15/16 Instead of all the TAR 14ers
-
If all of this is true... Holy TAR 14 influx, Batman.
-
Instead of Mel/Mike and ESPECIALLY Steve and Linda (Who were mediocre at best) I'd rather see Nick and Starr vs. Meghan and Cheyne in the battle of the juggernaut M/F teams.
-
Ron/Christina
Kynt/Vyxsin
Ken/Tina
Margie/Luke
Kisha/Jen
Jamie/Cara
Flight Time/Big Easy
Zev/Justin
Jet/Cord
Gary/Mallory
Michael/Kevin
Nat/Kat
This is more what I hoped
-
So far only three of them have potentially been spotted; so I'll wait for more widespread confirmation before reacting to the whole suggested cast.
-
But peach has had that information for a while now...
-
I read what she said then, and even then, it wasn't 100 percent certain by the words she used to give that list. Secondly, there's always the possibility of a change between then and now for any sort of reason.
So like I said, I'll hold back and wait for confirming evidence.
-
But peach has had that information for a while now...
:meow:
-
I really hope this one time, alot of those teams are wrong..
I have no idea how some of them would have even made it onto this season whereas some of the more memorable/better competitors are not involved.
Steve and Linda.. really?
-
Look at KevJumba's twitter page and there is something there that may be interesting.
-
Had a fun shoot today with the Harlem globetrotters :) Im still not good at basketball tho :(
half a minute ago via TweetDeck
Kevin posted that on twitter.
-
Scratch Jeff and Jordan from season 16 being on season 18.
Jeff tweeted:
Saturday, November 20, 2010 8:47 PM
jeffschroeder23: Jordan just got into town, out 2 a nice dinner, now gonna watch UFC's. Good luck to a hometown friend Mike Lullo on 1st UFC fight 2night
-

Yes, it happened today it looks like.
-
This tweet doesn't say anything about actually playing basketball with the globetrotters. Kevin and Michael were already spotted, so this means that most likely Flight Time and Big Easy are most likely on season 18. They could be trying to throw us off though.
-
The only real hope for a different cast is that TPTB had a few lists going of the teams and released them to various people in the operation in hopes of rooting out Peach's source. That's the only way we can hope for a drastically different cast. If that is not the case, then I guess their definition of All Star is different from ours. Or, they are gunning for a different theme than All Stars.
On the tweets, it wouldn't be hard for someone who isn't Kevin (or anyone with twitter or Facebook) to post for them. I'm not sure what I would read into Internet activity.
-
Wait a second... maybe it isnt suppose to be an Allstars season.. and really is just Redemption/2nd chance for some racers that made mistakes.
Kynt and Vyxsin - didn't watch their season so someone may have a better idea..
Amanda and Kris - seemed like they would do well but ended up getting blind U-Turned ultimately sealing their fate
Jaime and Cara - Can't think of any, made it to final 3
Margie and Luke - Can't think of any, made it to final 3.... than again Tammy and Victor blew by both of these last 2 teams in the finals because they had trouble doing the past places/events final challenge thing
Kisha and Jen - In Beijing they didn't want to swim.. put them far behind
Mark and Michael - Got several penalties, ultimately sealing their fate
Mel and Mike - I think they made a mistake on the leg that sent them home. I also think they had an opportunity to get a Fast Forward but decided not to try for it
Steve and Linda - Thy were cray-cray (crazy) but didn't she decide to run down the mountain when they were waiting to paraglide and she got soooo lost? X_X
Flighttime and Big Easy - Gave up on the roadblock.. I think they were sent home that leg with a penalty for quitting roadblock
Zev and Justin - lost passport.. all i need to say
Jet and Cord - I'm sure someone can think of something... weren't they supposed to win?
Gary and Mallory - Got lost in Oman
Michael and Kevin - lost because of penalties
-
Wait a second... maybe it isnt suppose to be an Allstars season.. and really is just Redemption/2nd chance for some racers that made mistakes.
Kynt and Vyxsin - didn't watch their season so someone may have a better idea..
U-turned a team already ahead of team.

How do you know its them at LAX, all the report said was 2 asian guys at LAX and thats all. Theres no photo evidence and they didn't say its was a older asian guy and younger asian guy, just 2 asian guys.
-

That was quick.. And makes a lot of sense/fits into the theme. Thanks!
-
I am speculating this because it is perceived that this is an All Star Season, and those are the only two asians that competed together on a season within the last 7 or 8 seasons.

Thing is, EVERY team that didn't win made mistakes or got shafted. Getting lost or performing poorly in a challenge is not uncommon in the race.

It said 2 asian men..
I don't remember the last time i called a 20 year old male, a boy. Just my opinion though.
And it's pretty obvious that the teams will be season 12-17 i thought
-
The list I posted should be the actual list, minus whoever turned into an alternate.
The other team is a rumor only, believe that has been debunked. :lol:
-
:groan:
I'll try to sit through this season..
ONLY because it will be in HD<3
-
as much as I loved TAR14... I don't get the need for so many teams from that season!!! but really no TAR13? where's Ken/Tina??? or Terrence/Sarah?? i'd even rather see Dandrew than some of those teams...
also, 5 M/M???? really??? and the only F/F teams from one season??? how did they come up with this list??

Remember, I have said since the beginning that they were not initially using the term ALLStars. WHAT they end up calling it, who knows? I expect it will be ALLSTARs,,,but :duno:
-
Now I want to know what your were disappointed about in the casting.......just the heavy season 14 side of it or was it more specific?
-
Now I want to know what your were disappointed about in the casting.......just the heavy season 14 side of it or was it more specific?
I'm kinda underwhelmed by almost half of the cast being from the same Season :/ Hopefully they'll bring their A-game this time.
-
Now I want to know what your were disappointed about in the casting.......just the heavy season 14 side of it or was it more specific?
Here are some generic complaints:
No representatives from TAR 13 and too many teams from TAR 14
No return of perceived fan favorites (for me it's Ron/Christina & Toni/Dallas)
The return of "gimmicky" teams (SurvivorSucks absolutely hates these teams for some reason)
Too many M/M teams
-
Mine: no season 13 reps
I wanted it to be All Stars who were top four/five material. No offense to Steve/Linda, Kevin/Michael, Amanda/Kris, and Zev/Justin, but they didn't get far enough in their seasons to be All Stars in my opinion. I love those teams, but them over Ken/Tina and Toni/Dallas is disappointing.
Now, if TPTB are shooting for another angle, my only complaint I'd the abundance of Season 14 teams.
-
My God that is a lot of all Male teams (Yuck, and for the same reason I was slightly disappointed to see 4 women teams this cycle).
And I just realized that we will be getting the Globetrotters theme and the cowboys theme each week......
-
not sure what gimmicky means.. please explain? thanks
For me...
I am underwhelmed aswell.. I thought that if they are wasting a season to bring back past racers, atleast have it be teams that we either loved or hated on their respective seasons.. strong competitors, memorable personalities, etc. Give people a reason to want to tune in and watch THE SAME TEAMS compete again.
There are 7 speculated teams from TAR 14.. Why? They could have given us atleast one Season 13 team... or another Season 12,15,16,17 team... I don't want to see a bunch of teams from the same season. Especially that one. I understand why Jamie and Cara/Margie and Luke are there.. but not really sure about the other teams.. Especially Steve and Linda/Amanda and Kris (sorry if i sound bitter...)
There are only 9 females in the speculated list of 13 teams.
5 M/M Teams
2 F/F Teams (from the same season......)
6 M/F Teams (3 are parent/child relationships)
-
Mel & Mike coming back would be a pleasant surprise to me because he seemed to be busy with TV and movies. After re-reading their post-elimination interviews, I guess that it's not such a surprise:
Would you do it all over again?
Mike: Heck yeah! We're ready for the invite for the All-Stars or a rematch. We'll be there for sure.
The biggest hurdles for them are Mel's age, and Mike being vegan. I think there's a huge difference between Mike White, who didn't compromise on his veganism in TAR14, and Terence and Kat who compromised their vegetarianism during the race. I hope Mike takes his own advice and brings a lot of protein bars this time, so that he doesn't end up starving for days like last time. (I know that others would have hated it and they would have had a valid point about it being an unfair advantage, but I would've been perfectly happy if Mike ran TAR18 with Reese and either Jet or Cord ran TAR18 with Sarah Jessica Parker.)
I think it's only fair that only teams that have been eliminated on broadcasted episodes by the time that TAR18 starts filming get to appear on TAR18. This way, all of the teams have been able to see all of the major things that all of the other teams did during their run on the show.
I never liked the idea of "All-Stars." I always liked what Erika from TAR5 and probably some other racers thought up, The Amazing Race: All-Losers, and this fits the bill.
-
not sure what gimmicky means.. please explain? thanks
basically a team that was originally casted because they were already semi-famous (specifically the Globetrotters, Cowboys, and Jumbas)
-
oh so like jeff and jordan,rob and amber,beauty pageant winners, teams like that?
-
What's the number of teams who were originally recruited? I'm thinking 7-8. That is disappointing.
Jumba
Cowboys
Globetrotters
Gary/Mal????
Amanda/Kris
Jaime/Cara
Mel/Mike
Mark/Mike
-
I am really upset that Season 13 is not representing. It was by far my favorite season. Peach is there any chance that your speculation could be incorrect, or are you positive or very close to positive that those are the teams for this season?
-

I'm not Peach, nor do I claim to speak on her behalf. However, I don't believe she would post it unless she was VERY confident in her sources and information.
-
I like almost all the teams, but its definitely not how I would have cast.
I certainly don't dislike Flight Time and Big Easy, but I really don't want to see them again (I hate teams using their pre race status to get help), I have no wish to see Linda & Steve race again (I have no problem with everyman teams, but seriously this is the best you could get), Mark & Michael I could do with out (I liked them at first a lot, but as the season progressed...).
Mixed Feelings about:
Michael & Kevin who I love personality wise, but I really don't want to see a season of Michael talking about what he can't do, this also applies to Mike & Mel (another team who I really liked personality wise). But that also means 4 gay racers (3 men, one women that we know of kind of a lot though they didn't make two of those racers sexual orientation public). Though again I will be really surprised if Mike's schedule allows this.
Gary & Mallory: Nice people (though her voice does grate, I like her), but easily would have rather had Steve & Allie. But I do like them, so....
Likes and things I understand
Kynt & Vyxsin - Popular and humorous easy to understand
Amanda & Kris - Eliminated due to U-turn also "nice" loving couple, each season should have one.
Jaime & Cara - Two of the better female racers (sort of surprised no Nat & Kat), but Jaime & Cara are more outgoing and hotter, so I can understand that reason.
Kisha & Jen - African American team, every season has one (and really the only other serious option is Azaria & Hendekia). Also two fit , strong women. Who besides the fighting between Margie & Luke I liked, please no more of that crap).
Luke & Margie - Love (minus one episode, plus lets not do that again see above) gives the cast "special interest" story and they can actually race well.
Zev & Justin - Again another fan favorite taken out due to their own error (though in all fairness I would really have preferred Toni & Dallas but that would be two Mom Son teams), they also fit the "special interest" story lines.
Jet & Cord - Really the only consistently competitive team from season 16, also extremely popular with fans.
Things that surprise me: No fighting couple.....
-

Jumba

Gary/Mal????

Mike White was not recruited:
So where did the idea to do the show come from?
I'm a not-so-closeted reality TV fan, a traitor to my own. I think I've watched probably every Survivor and Amazing Race—I'm a weird reality fanatic, I guess. During the strike I was watching my usual shows because I couldn't work, and at some point I was like, "What the crap! I should just go on The Amazing Race." I actually just made a video, I didn't try to pull any strings, I just made a video with somebody besides my dad and sent it in.

Though in fairness we do all need to remember that some teams have turned down offers, it is possible that some from season 13 (or other teams that have mentioned) choose not to do it, or had reasons they couldn't.
-
^^ No but the team was recruited as the producers didn't want the original team that applied. Most people consider that recruited, when production puts its input into what teams are there.
-
Hey guys I'm new to RFF and I decided to start an account because of all this All-Star talk after lurking for a while. I'll just break down what I think of each individual supposedlly selected 'All star' teams or whatever they are being called.
Kynt and Vyxsin- I very much like this choice. I really like them in TAR12 and I'll be rooting for them to go far this time! Go Goths, I love you :) :jumpy:
Amanda and Kris- I don't know why this team was chosen really. They didn't seem to have much personality and while they looked like a strong team they got eliminated by the U-Turn. There are at least 10 teams I'd want back over them!
Jamie and Cara- Excellent choice! I liked Cara and didn't like Jamie in their season. TAR14 was my first season and these 2 made ir very memorable for me. :wohoo:
Kisha and Jen- The first major meltdown I remember involved these 2. I didn't like them near the start of the race really but really liked them in their later legs. I was rooting for them in the Luke and Margie vs Kisha and Jen feuds. Good choice.
Margie and Luke- I knew they would be selected because they made good Tv. Plain excellent choice to return! :colors
Mark and Micheal- God knows why this horrible team was chosen to return. They were boring, cheated and they were just plain boring. Get off my TV!
Mel and Mike- I thought they were okay but really they don't deserbe to return over some other previous teams in my opinion. Think of it, we could have had Nate and Jen!
Steve and Linda- They were the second team out in TAR14. Why have themo ver Ken and Tina, Nate and Jen, Terrence and Sarah, Toni and Dallas, Nick and Starr, Meghan and Cheyne, Sam and Dan... the list gores on and on..
The Globetrotters- Made the dumbest move in TAR IMO... I don't like them and would rather see Meghan and Cheyne or Sam and Dan back.
Zev and Justin- I like them and think they could go far this timez! Look out for this team!
Jet and Cord- I can understand why they were brought back. They were one of the highlights of AR16 for me. I personally didn't really like them but many did. Good choice to return.
Gary and Mallory- I liked them but would much rather Brook and Claire to reutrn. I can like Gary and Mallory though so I don't really have an issue with them being brought back.
Micheal and Kevin- I think they brought the wrong sort of fans to TAR. I like Micheal an lot but my hatred of Kevin is more than my love of Micheal. Okay to come back but I want them to get the boot early.
I really think that TAR should have included teams from TAR13 like Ken and Tina, Toni and Dallas and Terreence and Sarah over teams like Mel and Mike, Mark and Micheal and Steve and Linda....
-
Can the teams that were asked but then denied, reveal themselves? Even if its not until the teams are officialy revealed by CBS..
There are some teams that I want to make sure they got asked, because if they didnt it makes me wonder..why these other teams.. ha
Steve and Linda were a fighting couple...
Kris and Amanda only lasted like 4 episodes X_X so they might have ended up being a fighting couple
-
^^ No but the team was recruited as the producers didn't want the original team that applied. Most people consider that recruited, when production puts its input into what teams are there.
From Mike White:
I was gonna go with this screenwriter that I met on Freaks & Geeks, this guy Jon Kasdan. Our little sorta reducible idea was “neurotic screenwriters who never leave the house.” And it turned out that he really was too neurotic to leave the house. We got to the semifinals of the prior season, Season 13, and he had sort of a meltdown at the Hilton at LAX and was like, “I can’t do this!”
So how did your dad get involved?
We had gotten pretty far along and you know, it’s a relationship show and they want to show the most interesting relationships, so they encouraged me to go with someone in my family [father Mel White, the founder of the gay rights group Soulforce].

Can the teams that were asked but then denied, reveal themselves? Even if its not until the teams are officialy revealed by CBS..
There are some teams that I want to make sure they got asked, because if they didnt it makes me wonder..why these other teams.. ha
Steve and Linda were a fighting couple...
Kris and Amanda only lasted like 4 episodes X_X so they might have ended up being a fighting couple
Yeah but as they are listed as alternates I am surprised no fighting couple is listed as a primary pick. As for Kris & Amanda we never even saw a hint of it, and with that last leg with the U-Turn had plenty of opportunity for any negative attitudes to emerge during the stress of that day.
-
The alternates are listed as ?? alternates. Not entirely sure about that, who is and who isn't.
The same person from the airport confirmed the "Goths", "red-heads", and Michael and kevin by photo "2 asian men".
Kynt and Vyxsin were def spotted.
Michael and Kevin were NOT on the original list I had, all others were on my list.
-
Maybe Michael and Kevin replaced Mel and Mike.
-
My God that is a lot of all Male teams (Yuck, and for the same reason I was slightly disappointed to see 4 women teams this cycle).
Whatever, mswood. :duno:
-
Ah, I see there's still a separate thread for Team Speculation specifically.... OK then.
Good Decisions (whether I personally like the teams or not)
Kynt and Vyxsin- There was never any doubt.
Jamie and Cara - And it doesn't come easy for me to say it since I hate Jaime so much, she joins Johnathan, Flo and Kendra in my exclusive Pantheon of Racers I can't stand. Sadly, it makes sense.
Margie and Luke - they made memorable television and Luke's an uberfan.
Gary and Mallory - Gary is TAR's antidote to That Guy they cast way too often on the race and he LOVES TAR as much as I do. He's quiet, competent, hardworking and just rocks all around. For all those aholes who've described themselves as Alpha Males and ended up being nothing but abusive bullies: watch and learn. Mal is also redemption for the Kendra-type beauty queen. She's loud and screechy but she's by no means a vapid, conceited burden to her partner type of Miss Whatever.
Amanda and Kris - Not memorable, but not incompetent either since they were eliminated via UTurn. They need a young couple for demographics and I'd rather have these two than any bickering couple so I consider this a dodging a bullet (a Nate and Jen-shaped one) type of decision.
Jet and Cord - bit of a DOH again.
Zev and Justin - great relationship, great sense of humor and the redemptive second chance ange makes for good TV. I've ALWAYS wanted to see Zev performing a memory/number-related task.
So-So Decisions
Kisha and Jen- Competent, strong female team with a good relationship. I particularly respected and enjoyed the way Kisha treated her sister when they fell behind due to her fear of water. BUT. They were cast for a rematch with Luke and Margie and that doesn't sit well with me.
Mel and Mike - Fun, easy to root for and I'd rather see an uber fan of the show, but other than that... meh. Ken and Tina are more RAAAAACE oriented.
UGH Decisions
Mark and Micheal - Cheaters from an already overrepresented season.
Steve and Linda - Who and Why?
The Globetrotters - I like them but I have zero respect for them. I would kill to be on TAR (born in the wrong country) and they bail on it AFTER being stunt-cast in the first place.
Micheal and Kevin - I'm not looking forward to seeing Kevin treat his father like excess baggage. Again.
-
All of these negativity comments make me sad, but yep, I agree with most of the them though. :(
I'm gonna ignite the light of hope, spark, and let it shine, like the 4th of July. (LOLSong) Here's hoping this would be a good season! :hearts:
EDIT: :lol:
-
If the list is true, then the ONLY good teams would be Kynt and Vyxsin, Jamie and Cara, Kisha and Jen. and Gary and Mallory.
The rest are wtf choices. Like, seriously, I wanna punch the producer's face for casting these teams. :dick
-
Really? Regardless of whether YOU like the teams or not, how do you cast a Former Racers TAR from 12 onwards and NOT include Jet and Cord and Margie/Luke?
Second chances make sense, good TV and usually bring back cool teams and not jerkwads so what's wrong with Zev and Justin?
-
NVM
-
I don't think TAR will pick teams that do worst than 6th placing. I seriously think Kevin and Michael might get an exception though.. but no, not the other teams.
-
I have and all three teams I mentioned are on that list. I agree with the other teams the posters I was replying to mentioned and thought he missed a few from "the rest" that make sense as opposed to warranting face-punching urges.
-
I'm catching up on this thread, not sure if I'm understanding everything, but if that list is true... aren't like half of those teams from TAR 14?
The only ones I'm really happy about seeing them race again are Jet and Cord! I also like Kynt and Vyxsin, Margie and Luke, Jaime and Cara, Gary and Mallory and Zev and Justin, but the others weren't really my favorite teams... I was hoping for Nick and Starr or Tony and Dallas :P
-
Don't worry guys, it's just speculation.
Peach, may i ask you for the speculated teams you provided.. did you based it on fb and twitter updates or what?
-

Peach, may i ask you for the speculated teams you provided.. did you based it on fb and twitter updates or what?
I want to know where she is getting all this information from too. Its suspicious, especially if there aren't any evidence cited.
-
My analysis of the teams:
Jaime/Cara: Perfect cuz of alliance with Margie and Luke, and the arguing between the two (LOL)
Kynt/Vyxsin: Good choice agian, only memorable team from season 12.
Michael/Kevin: Second chance I guess, for the production error which cost them!!
Amanda/Kris: Who?
Flight Time/Big Easy: Celebritys, I guess they want ratings.
Gary/Mallory: Second chane for a team everyone wanted to like.
Jet/Cord: Memorable, so should have been brought back.
Kisha/Jen: Rivarly with Margie and Luke means they should have came back.
Margie/Luke: See above
Mel/Mike: Too many season 14 teams
Zev/Justin: Too many season 14 teams
So replace Amanda/Kris, Mek/Mike and Zev/Justin, with
Brook/Claire Carol and Brandie and Toni and Dallas
So
Season 12: 1 team
Season 13: 1 team
Season 14: 3 teams
Season 15: 1 team
Season 16: 2 teams
Season 17: 3 teams
Brooke and Claire definitely would have have been considered, but Claire is pregnant.
-
ohh...
Wll just so you know..
Zev and Justin were on season 15... NOT 14..
And Michael and Kevin weren't eliminated due to a PRODUCTION ERROR. Kevin didn't read the clue entirely and drove to the next clues when they were instructed to walk.
And again, Brooke and Claire would have definately been considered if Claire wasn't pregnant. That or either they or Nat and Kat won TAR 17 so they didn't want to ask them for All Stars
-
I think they choose Kris and Amanda because they want a nice couple team ,but I doubt they should also choose a fight couple team(almost every season has,I think maybe Chad and Stephanie,or Brain and Erika,Brent and Catie).I think some teams may be replaced like peach said Kevin and Michael aren't on origin list(I guess they replace Mel and Mike,both father-son team).
-
I'm excited to see Mel/Mike, cowboys, Zev/Justin & goths on the race! :wohoo:
But yeah, I'm curious to know the reasoning behind the selection of so many S14 teams.
-
Here's what I think of the speculated teams:
Jaime/Cara: Cool! I'll be rooting for them -- if they don't annoy me, that is.
Kynt/Vyxsin: Glad to see them back. I liked them better than most of the other teams.
Michael/Kevin: Next time, read the clue! Still, I like them.
Amanda/Kris: Would've done better if they hadn't been U-Turned. So they deserve a second chance.
Flight Time/Big Easy: I'm going to love hearing the Globetrotters theme!
Gary/Mallory: I hope they do better with navigation this time.
Jet/Cord: My favorite team from Season 16. Glad they're back!
Kisha/Jen: Maybe they'll do better this time. I like them well enough.
Margie/Luke: They were a strong team, so they had the right to come back.
Mel/Mike: A team I liked from Season 14, but I wish Ron & Christina had been here instead.
Zev/Justin: Great! I was hoping this team would return!
Glad to see that Mark & Michael and Steve & Linda won't be racing. But I wish Ron & Christina had been here instead of Mel & Mike.

Well, at least Brendon and Rachel from BB12 don't seem to be on this time around. Thank God.
Belle Book
-
If the last All-stars had some seasons get snubbed, it didn't surprise me that this one has a season snubbed as well. But I am glad to see no hybrid teams, or return winners.
I do wish at least 1 from the earlier seasons (1-10) would be included (just to see how they would fare in this version of the race)
With both Margie/Luke and Kisha/Jen racing, I guess that means no switchback from the last All-Stars, of finding a letter from a team of their respective season.
-
Don't worry guys, it's just speculation.
Peach, may i ask you for the speculated teams you provided.. did you based it on fb and twitter updates or what?
No guys...speculation is the wrong word. This SHOULD BE the cast, except for the question of who are the 2 alternates, and the surprise inclusion of Michael and Kevin.
The other rumor, is just that, a rumor...but as I said, I included it for completeness. Do I really believe it? No.
And anyone who has been here for more than a day should know better than to ask or speculate on my sources. :lol:
(http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-5097.gif)
-
I'm actually looking forward to seeing the dynamic between some of these teams because there are so many Uberfans racing, ie people like Gary and Luke who have been fans and watching some of the other teams race before they were cast. Were Jet and Cord Gary's favorite team before? (They seem to be cut from the same hard-working, competent cloth). Do Kynt and Vyxin have fans among their fellow competitors? That kind of thing is far more interesting to me than any score settling between former rivals.
-
On reflection, I'd say 7 or 8 of the teams deserve to be there actually, it's just the fact that Ron/Chris, Ken/Tina, Brian/Ericka and maybe Nate/Jen were overlooked for these teams that makes people mad!
-

-
Yay! :jumpy:
I'm so happy Jaime and Cara get to race again <3
-
I just realized both Kynt/Vyxin and Garry/Mallory are from Kentucky, which is beyond awesome! :lol:
-
No one here knows which teams were asked and had to decline because of other commitments.........right? The one thing for sure....is we are having a TAR 18...why cant we all be thankful for that.
-
:welcome2: to RFF, GabrielP!
-
Thank you! :)
-

I'm so EXCITED to have my first season where I watch the spoiler hunt live. I've always avoided spoilers, but I can do that no problem with an All Stars season since I know the contestants anyway. Normally, I'd only want the destinations spoiled, but I'm so looking forward to the next three weeks even if I'm starting a new job in a few days and won't be online as much.
I've never loved anything on TV as much as I love TAR. Ever. So if I'm complaining it's because this show is really special to me and some of the teams... I just don't feel like they represent the best TAR has to offer, some of their behavior goes beyond human foibles in high stress conditions. I've tried to be balanced though and on the whole, I can't wait to see MOST of these teams race together because it will make for some interesting dynamics. We have more uberfans of the show with previous knowledge beyond their racing experience in this race than in the other AS edition, right?
I'm now trying to recap destinations the teams have travelled to in previous races to see who's been to Australia (as a racer) before.
-
If I am not mistaken........TAR has not been to Australia since TAR9. New Zealand in TAR 13 is about as close and some of the TAR 13 teams connected in Sydney if I remember correctly.
-
I am actually looking forward to Linda and Steve. They are both really very funny. If we are lucky there should be some drama between them, Keisha and Jennifer and Margie and Luke.
Mark and Michael are a serious ???????
-
Thanks Tammy..........just disappointed your name wasnt in the list of racers. :'(
-
Linda and Steve and Mark and Michael are both possible alternates. Don't know if they are on are not, am currently thinking NOT.
Would have loved to have seen you!! :kuss:
-
EYEWITNESS other LAX vicinity sightings: :jumpy:
Kevin and Michael (2 sightings, reportedly indeed had backpacks at airport also)
Globetrotters
Margie and Luke
Jaime and Cara
Kynt and Vyxsin
Mel
If Mel was spotted at LAX, so where is Mike then?
-
thanks peach and DrRox :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
Maybe someday :jumpy:

Remember on the 11th season (All-Stars) Reichen or Chip (can't remember which) was at the Miami Airport and met some teams during filming. Sometimes former racers are at an airport but not in the race so we could keep this in mind!
-
It was Chip. as he lives in Miami-Dade and travels frequently. Still does, as a matter of fact.
There have been a few times when a former Racer has stumbled across filming elsewhere. I can't remember who at the moment, but there was an encounter one season in a train station in Germany, IIRC. So that sort of thing is always possible.
-

The probability of that happening seems highly unlikely. There are about 72 teams in the pool of possibilities and for one of the 60 that are not on this season to be in the same spot of the world at the exact same time doesn't seem likely.

So yeah, if someone spots a former racer(s) who are traveling and somehow stumbled upon this seasons filming, they could easily confuse them for being in the race and start tweeting about it until everything is cleared up.

are people sure M/K are on the race?

Observations:
1. Twitter accounts can be monitored by CBS.
2. I'm not aware that airline bookings can be made on Twitter.
3. In pre-Race sequester, CBS can certainly supervise Tweeting as a means of keeping casting and filming plans hidden as much as possible.
4. CBS and WRP can do these things using their contestant contracts, and the (alleged) five million dollar penatly clause in the contracts.
5. There was a time when I-pods were banned too, but that did change in more recent seasons since the content of the I-pods hard drives can be checked electronically.
Bottom line -- The use of a Twitter account, in and of itself, may not prove anything.

True, if we confirm M/K in Australia we will know that they are doing something funny because these tweets would have come while he was in the air.

Btw........if you send any of these speculated racers a tweet asking if they are, in fact, on TAR 18.......do you really think that they will tell you the truth........do you think they will violate their contract with CBS and WRP?

Teams spotted in train station in domestic terminal? Either they are taking a train into the city or Sydney is a transit stop onwards to a domestic destination?
-
Exactly, I'd love to know if this information is coming from Twitter/FB so we can check as well!
-
I just checked twitter. I didn't see anything. It must be coming from FB.
-
Teams spotted in train station in domestic terminal? Either they are taking a train into the city or Sydney is a transit stop onwards to a domestic destination?
No! team spotted exiting INT heading towards domestic/train.
-
http://www.airportlink.com.au/index.html
This train!
-
Ya i havn't been getting anything on twitter.
Not sure where GeorgiaPeach is getting the info from though.
Kisha and Jen? Hmm... we havnt had a sighting of a team yet that hasnt been "speculated" as being a part of the cast.
The speculated cast is seeming more and more legit...
-
Okay clear now. International and Domestic terminals are seperate, only linked by bus or train so it makes no sense to be in domestic terminal unless they wanted to get a domestic flight. Okay they got the train from INT and probably heading to Central station or Circular Key (where the Opera House is).
-
Exactly my thoughts. They may be HEADING to the Domestic Terminal to go somewhere else???
-
If they are headed to the Opera House (last used in TAR 2 roadblock, IIRC), that would make sense for the HD cameras.
I hope that roadblock is being used again....that was a great roadblock the first time around!
-
I will this here since this is the appropriate place. Where is peach getting all this info from?
-
Speculation is the best place!!
-
I will this here since this is the appropriate place. Where is peach getting all this info from?
We'll probably never know. Just sit back and enjoy the fun! :wohoo:
-
So, teams sighted so far:
Kisha & Jen
Cara & Jaime
Margie & Luke
Gary & Mallory
Michael & Kevin
Kynt & Vyxsin
Globetrotters (?)
-
Mel of Mel and Mike thought to be seen at LAX Airport
-
Yes, spotted at LAX by peach's spoiler...
-
Gary & Mallory were just spotted heading for a train, as well as Kisha & Jen.

Is there an echo in here? :lol3:

Oh lordie :lol3:
Well, 8 teams of the speculated 11 seen, looks like we have got that cast after all :lol:
-
You actually doubted it? :lol:
-
You actually doubted it? :lol:
Not I..............

I'm still hoping Amanda/Kris are not racing. lol
-
You actually doubted it? :lol:
To your face, I'd say I never doubted you for a second. When you turned your back I'd say I hoped to all that is holy that for once the almighty Peach had got it all wrong and some of the list was incorrect :lol:
-
Heee...I had my moments too. :kuss:
-
First clue under the bridge? It could be a Bridge Climb task?
-
What I'm wondering is who the hell's following everyone like this? Who's able to relay all this so quickly? Peach must've hired a good-ass spoiler to stay so close to them without being seen!
-
That's why she's the head atm!!
-
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TAR 18 :hearts: :jumpy: :wohoo:
but I will be even more excited if i would see any photos :/
I believe peach but for now all we have is some tweets and of course our great "peach" is doing great job but if anyone has any photos please post as soon as possible !!! It will make me even more excited haha
But anyway all you guys it is gonna be a lot of stuff to spoil :)
BUT YOU CAN DO IT :jam: :jam:
-
IF Jet/Cord were "indirectly" confirmed, I have to assume this means someone saw their hats. :hearts:
-
Jet and Cord (indirectly) confirmed
Can we get more on this?
-
Wow, at this rate, I think this Season would be spoiled like TAR 11 with a detailed boot list at the end. :lol: :jumpy: :'( :duno: :yess:
P.S With all the excitment for TAR 18, I almost forgot TAR 17 existed and there is an episode tonight! :lol3:
-
Mike, contact this Janette!!
Apparently they came 20ish minutes ago- not sure what time that is in Australia.
She hasnt seen any teams since
Approx. 11:15AM sydney time if it was 20 mins ago
Hmm. Last flight, then?
-
Kevin just updated his Facebook status 13 minutes ago! (+GMT 8)

I never thought of that possibility
-
Christina could...maybe be mistaken for a man...I doubt it but if it was only a small glimpse. However Kevin said he was doing something with the Globetrotters this weekend (the start of the race)
-
The Tweets could be misdirection by someone using Kevin's account with permission.
Second, the raw data is that Michael and Kevin have been spotted twice each independently of the other source.
And the original Tweet from LAX last night said "two Asian males."
Given how easy it is to give someone permission and passwords to use a Twitter account, I wouldn't place too much weight on the existence of tweets in these circumstances.
-
Christina could...maybe be mistaken for a man...I doubt it but if it was only a small glimpse. However Kevin said he was doing something with the Globetrotters this weekend (the start of the race)
Then why is Kevin actively tweeting?

-

Doubt so. For starters, Christina is quite petite. Second, she has shoulder long hair. unless she has cut her hair since going on the race, and the person didn't see her legs (highly unlikely), she cannot be confused for a boy.
-
No singtings now:
Kris and Amanda
Mark and Michael
Steve and Linda
Zev and Justin
I think two teams of them not on race.

Juding by the Wii cover, Mark and Michael are on it rather than Mel and Mike.

Mel spotted on LAX,right?
-
Correct!
-
Ron/Christina!!!!!!!! Oops again wrong thread...What does this mean...
-
The sister Jamie and Cara?
Jen and Kisha??
-
There is still no sign of Amanda and Kris!
-
I have nothing against those two, but having an Amazing Race: NO Bickering Dating Couples Edition would be fantastic! Maybe they'll be nice to each other like Kynt and Vyxin.
And Gary/Mallory reported in the lead. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Get that Express Pass, Gary!
-
Don't want Kris/Amanda to get the Express Pass!
Hoping either Kisha/Jen or Gallory get it!
-
Yes go get that express pass, and apprently christina has short hair which is why she was confused for a male.
Christina >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kevin. I'm SO happy with no Kevin and having a genuinely awesome team instead.
-
Don't want Kris/Amanda to get the Express Pass!
Hoping either Kisha/Jen or Gallory get it!
I dont think amanda and kris have been spotted.
They were on the first ferry according to Peach =/

i feel like there are too many season 14 teams, wish they would have taken a season 13 team.

Totally disagree with you :meow:
I can live with that. I can live with the second-time-stunt-cast of the Globetrotters because they don't bug as much as Kevin's smug, immature self and I can live with Jaime being Jaime and hopefully getting eliminated faster than last time. The rest of the cast I love and my favorites are doing well for the most part.
-
TBH, Ron and Christina are great...so really this is going to be a good season after all!
-
(IDK where to put this comment, but feel free to move it if it's wrong. :lol: It's confusing :groan:)
Wow. After all the negativity I've read, it changed to a positive note! And lucky Sydney people: they get to see the race! :)

Maybe It's just been a while, but I don't remember Amanda & Kris bickering on the race at all. I don't get why people don't want them on the show.
Ron/Christina!!!!!!!! Oops again wrong thread...What does this mean...
Much better choice than Michael & Kevin! Funny how once again, Ron & Christina threw the board for a loop. In season 12 they were believed to be husband and wife before CBS released the cast.
-

I guess switching Ron & Chris with the Jumbas was a mood lifter
The reported teams sound like a good mix, still, too much S14. I hope we get some Double U-Turn payback drama.
-

They didn't and were actually quite competent, some people might not want them in solely due to their final placement

Dont want Jet and cord to get eliminated!
it's possible Mel/Mike will struggle at the RB. we'll see
Maybe It's just been a while, but I don't remember Amanda & Kris bickering on the race at all. I don't get why people don't want them on the show.
They didn't and were actually quite competent, some people might not want them in solely due to their final placement
ppl suggested that they were boring, but it's clear to me that this season is a Return of the Racers for a 2nd chance, not an All-Stars (good!)
-
Yes go get that express pass, and apprently christina has short hair which is why she was confused for a male.
Christina >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kevin. I'm SO happy with no Kevin and having a genuinely awesome team instead.
Totally disagree with you :meow:
I can live with that. I can live with the second-time-stunt-cast of the Globetrotters because they don't bug as much as Kevin's smug, immature self and I can live with Jaime being Jaime and hopefully getting eliminated faster than last time. The rest of the cast I love and my favorites are doing well for the most part.
how dare you! lol
-
But this race is a great cast if you think about it:
ALLSTARS:
Kynt/Vyxsin
Ron/Chris
Kisha/Jen
Jamie/Cara
Margie/Luke
Mel/Mike - bit odd
Flight Time/Big Easy
Jet/Cord
Gary/Mallory
SECOND CHANCE
Amanda Chris - screwed by UTURN (good racers!)
Zev Justin - screwed with passports lost (otherwise good racers!)
The only thing missing is KenTina tbh!!!
-
So I was just going to ask: Do we have the reality team that is not from TAR racing? (Like Russell :lol:?)
-
I have nothing against those two, but having an Amazing Race: NO Bickering Dating Couples Edition would be fantastic! Maybe they'll be nice to each other like Kynt and Vyxin.
And Gary/Mallory reported in the lead. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Get that Express Pass, Gary!
Maybe It's just been a while, but I don't remember Amanda & Kris bickering on the race at all. I don't get why people don't want them on the show.
I didn't say I don't want them CAST in the race, I just don't want them to win it because they were fairly bland and I have plenty of other teams I'd rather see in the race for much longer than them. They're the only ones who have the potential to be the eternal bickering couple once KF sets in, but from what little we've seen of them, it's probably not going to be the case. I still think it's truly AWESOME for TAR to not have abusive jerk boyfriends and/or dysfunctional dating drama for once. Our cup runeth over. I'm not actively rooting against Amanda and Kris. I save my disdain for Jaime.
-
Nope, Cocoa! Thank goodness, Ron/Chris are racing...this is great news

Jamie brings all the drama of a bickering couple in one package. We should all save our disdain for her.
-
Not every bickering couple is also a KKKendra. On the scale of disdain, KKKendras rank much higher and Jaime is right up there.
-
Ron/Christina bickered alot remember!
-
Ron/Christina bickered alot remember!
More like Ron berating his daughter like a typical azn parent
-
Which fits bickering imo!
-
So, I take it that Michael and Kevin are not on this season. Am I correct?
-
Yes, and it was painful to watch. (And also a relief when by the end of the race you could see a real turnaround, not a Nick-type one-leg Ghana copout....)
But it was in no way in the same league as Johnathan shoving his wife or Canaan trying to shove his gf to the point where she screamed for HELP from strangers or as Rebecca and Adam or that passive aggressive jerk who actually did get dumped at the end of a leg and we all cheered for Sarah. Not even in the same ballpark. It's also not the type of abusive relationship we see repeated over and over each season to the point where you start to think there's some sort of epidemic of jerkboyfrienditis.
They RARELY make enough genuinely good tv to warrant their inclusion every damn season. One example I can think of is that couple who had the Epic Tomatoe Pile Meltdown in Barcelona, to this day one of the funniest TAR moments ever. I think her name was Jennifer, I don't know, I only remember her awesome WAIIIIIILING at him while getting pelted with tomatoes.
-
Correct!
-
just a reminder that in their original season, Jet and Cord sometimes had navigation issues, but they were really good getting assistance from the locals, and they had a knack of finishing tasks quickly and making up time. Perhaps one of the fastest teams ever with that skill.
And I think they, and almost all of the other identified teams will have benefited skill-wise from a prior run in the Race. It would be interesting to see if these teams avoid things such as not completely reading the clue, and being aware of their surroundings in performing tasks so as to not overlook things that are there and needed to complete tasks.

ya i agree
if the rumor is true that the theme is 2nd chances
i think the first leg will be a NEL
-
I think two teams of them not on race.
And that would be Mark/Michael and Steve/Linda
-
If there was a Starting Line elimination, who could possibly have been eliminated?
Mark and Michael?
Michael and Kevin?
Steve and Linda?
hmm
maybe there wasnt one?
-
If there was a Starting Line elimination, who could possibly have been eliminated?
If there was a starting line task, doesn't mean someone was eliminated, either.

Surely not. That was one of the dumbest things TAR ever did.
-
NoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kynt and Vyxsin have yet to check in!
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
I'd be pissed if Jet and Cord half assed everything and just went onto the race for publicity...
i mean didnt one of them JUST get married and is suppose to be on a honeymoon?
If thats they case... I wish they declined so that another team could join
-
Argghhh, I haven't had power all day..
On the issue of fighting couples. While we certainly have men who are the primary starters in some couples, lets not forget that we have many, many couples where the women is worse. And for example we hate Jonathan (I certainly do) for how he pushed around Victoria (let alone the verbal barrage), there have been several women who have pushed guys around that no one ever seems to equate as abusive. In the same season with Jonathug and Victoria we had Lori & Bolo, and while both fought, Lori was more verbally abusive and she was also more physical to Bolo. We had Hayden who was worse to Aaron then Aaron was ever to her, we had Kendra who was worse to Freddy then Freddy was to her, and of course we had momma's boy Adam who was worse to Rebecca then she was to him.
In most seasons we have had couples where the women is worse out of the two.
Take season ten where we had two couples: one Peter was cold and distant to Sarah and we all remember that about him, but we also had David & Mary. And Mary would push David around, and would verbally take him down in most episodes, yet many in America absolutely loved David & Mary (and it also occurred in the same pattern in All Stars).
There is a huge double standard in our culture where it is ok for a women to do something, but if a man did the same thing to her it would be abusive. In my eyes both are equally wrong. And in my eyes both can reflect typically playful horsing around in couples, but since we don't know these people and how they normally are its impossible for us to make the distinction.
Take Ian & Teri, Ian was verbally awful to Teri (though many have been, much, much worse) and Teri would also yell at Ian. But I also think that couple really loved each other. And in All Stars we saw none of it. Yet according to both they bickered the same amount they always do.

GO KRIS AND AMANDA ! LOVE THEM !
-
Don't forget about "I'm tired of doing everything! You do nothing!" mswood.
They broke the mould when they made Lenny & Karyn. Every dysfunctional couple since them is just a cheap imitation.
-
Having dysfunctional or bickering couples in TAR is fantastic to me, it makes for memorable moments. It's really strange that so many want only nice, gullable people on the race.
TAR has never been so good when you had relationship drama. I don't condone rude beahviour and stuff like that, but if it weren't for these people, ratings would have been much lower. Tara & Wil was just cringeworthy, but soo exciting to see what happened next. Jonathan & Victoria, my goodness hehe
Back to topic now.
-
Where did Michael and Kevin go?
Could they have been the victim of the starting line challenge?
-
They aren't on the race apparently...
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I loved those two!
-
Have the cowboys shown up yet? Or are they out?
-
Please tell me, there hasn't been any sightings of the cowboys...
There haven't been that many recent sightings and I can't remember one mentioning the cowboys. They're my favourite team lol.
no offense...
-
You know what's also sad?
Just before Cord left for the last amazing race, he proposed to his wife. Now, just before Cord left for THIS amazing race, he got married.
Oh my gravy, what a poor wife of his... Hope he wins the million to make up for it! :D
-
Joab, if you don't mind I will use your list and comment on it with my opinion of the teams.
My opinions of the teams:
Kynt and Vyxsin
Not a fan, not a supporter. But extremely glad they're back. They deserved to be back on. Very memorable and kinda popular amongst the fans. Definitely a worthy team.
I agree, not a fan but they are popular enough to be back on.
Ronald and Christina
Guys, the reason why TAR 12 was even bearable throughout the entire season was because of this time. They started as the underdogs, fought with one another, then learnt from their mistakes and worked together to overcome the race together and beat competitive teams like Nate and Jen, Kynt and Vyxsin and Azaria and Hendekea!! How could anyone not say they're not allstars worthy? My favourite team of the lot and am damn glad they're back!!
Not my favorites but I don't mind them at all.
Margie and Luke
They're like Ron and Chris V2.0!! TAR 14 wouldn't be half as exciting/interesting had it not been for this team. Although people might find them evil, extremely competitive.. but guys, aren't you glad that this team is not your regular parent and child team? They may not be my all-time favourite team, but i respect the way they raced with integrity and i'll definitely still root for them to win. Allstars won't be the same without them! (unless this time round they're eliminated early.. hopefully not)
They're ok, I don't think they can win but they are bring an interesting element to the show.
Amanda and Kris
Amanda and Kris gotta let go of their grudge against Margie and Luke. Had it not been for Margie and Luke, you sure know that they won't even make it on this race. They were half as exciting as Kris and Jon and no doubt they're really a nice and competitive team.. you just gotta admit that they're really not in the league of all-stars. They coming back just seemed like teams like Michael and Kathy (TAR3), Dennis and Ericka (TAR5) and other random dating couples returning to have another go on the race. Nice team? Definitely. Allstars? No way. Maybe if they made it far enough this season, they will be considered Allstars... I have nothing against them, but i won't be rooting for them, for now too. But i'll let the race go and decide whether to root for them after watching the season.
I don't know why no one likes them but I think they deserve another chance because they were victimized with a really hard Uturn.
Jaime and Cara
Memorable? Check. Competitive? Check. Controversial? Check. There you go, definitely qualified all-stars. I'm not a fan of them but you gotta admit they're really popular on TAR 14 and has a huge fan base. Besides, if Kisha and Jen are back, they gotta be back too!
Because of all the other TAR14 teams I don't think they were really necessary but they were a pretty strong team.
Kisha and Jen
I'm surprised that these two are back. Because if teams like bowling moms are not even included in the first allstars, how come they got to get another go? Yes, they're competitive. But i remember them being totally clueless and muddleheaded at the same time. If all goes wrong, they might just waste an allstars team spot and make it seems like the producers are really retarded to choose them to be on the show. No doubt i kinda like this team, but the fact that they're missed out of allstars or not will not be a big concern to many..
Same as Jaime and Cara for me.
Mel and Mike
I'm a fan of Mel and Mike and was heartbroken when they're eliminated. But this team has the same issue with Kisha and Jen. Nobody will have any issues with this team being missed out if they're not on allstars, but at the same time.. this team is not generating much buzz and commotion among the fans even if they're on allstars. I'm happy that they're on. But frankly speaking, i'll rather have teams i hate who're more memorable such as Carol and Brandy.. not because i'm weird.. but because at least Carol and Brandy can have people start talking about the race. People will bitch about the choice by producers and how they dislike them blah blah blah. Besides, Carol and Brandy are AT LEAST in the final 5 and VERY VERY memorable.
I find them to be very annoying and expect that they will have no good impact on the season. Probably an early elimination.
Zev and Justin
Not memorable and absolutely not worthy of allstars. Nice team? Maybe. Because i haven't seen enough of them to have an impression of the team. I spoke about the next season being allstars with my friend and told them Zev and Justin are on. They're all like.. Zev and WHAT? And then went on to ask me if teams like Carol and Brandy or Tammy and Victor are on or not. You see, if producers wants people to watch allstars, they gotta choose people who're memorable!! That's my problem with the cast for allstars. In what way is Zev and Justin more memorable than all the other teams to deserve a spot on allstars? No doubt people love them or what, but seriously.. this is the team i'm most shocked to see making it.
They made the right choice to not bring back winners. I like that this group has never won but has known the hunger. As far as Z/J are concerned everyone seemed to want them back so they got their wish.
Flight Time and Big Easy
I remember them as an obnoxious team and they're not really a fan favourite. Maybe i'm wrong and i'm biased. I'm not a fan of them and are not happy they're back. But at least they're memorable you see. I have no qualms with them making it on the next season, because they're a much better selection than teams like Amanda and Kris and Zev and Justin. (I like the latter more, i emphasize. I just don't think they should make it on the show. It seems unfair to the teams in the first 10 seasons who have to fight among 100+ teams for 11 spots in the first allstars, as compared to this season)
I don't mind them but they have no chance of even threatening to win, they will be worse than they were last time.
Jet and Cord
Extremely nice, totally competitive. Very memorable. Funny at times. Raced with their own style. Another team whom i deemed fit to be on allstars. They may be an alpha all male team but don't forget, they've got their bad times as well. I can't wait to see how well they race this time round competing against SOME of the competitive teams we have on the race.
Completely agree, best team ever no comparison don't know if they can win but the fun is just in being able to watch them again.
Gary and Mallory
The same problem with Kisha and Jen and Mel and Mike. Memorable? Mildly. Nice team? Definitely. I'm a fan of them and are extremely happy they're back. But if they're missed out i'll feel maybe abit sad or what, but not extremely devastated by the fact that they're ripped of their spot on allstars had they not make the selection cut. But i'll be rooting for them definitely. I think at least they fulfill the position of the underdogs! (David and Mary)
They definitely deserve to come back and I hope they can at least go to the final this time.

About the cast...
I, for one, think that the casting of 5 Season 14 teams is not at all a bad idea. It was a very entertaining season with many power teams and had the most physical tasks by far, compared to any other recent season. There is a reason why that was the last season to win an Emmy…The teams chosen, however, are a little surprising. Yes, Luke had a large following, but he also annoyed a lot of people. That's probably why they cast Kisha/Jen (shoving) and Mike/Mel, ("sinister deaf kid") and most importantly Kris/Amanda (blind u-turn) back...
And to offset the Anti-Luke league they cast the red heads back. At least they again have someone to hang on to and follow to the end, if Margie is still as competitive...
Mike and Mel had a large following and CBS lost over 1.39 million viewers (TAR 14 on Wikipedia) when they were eliminated. = logical choice...
The show also lost 450,000 viewers when Christie and Jodi were eliminated! Their last episode had the largest number of viewers, except for the Finale. Interesting that no one has mentioned them. They were a smart and very competitive team who won a leg because of a smart flight decision and then had the bad luck that all the teams had to wait for one train departure time and then had 2 consecutive days of bad directions by a local and a taxi driver who took them an hour out of the way. Christie has to be very disappointed to see the other S14 teams chosen back, but it doesn't help when you have a teammate who now works in casting and hangs out with all the CBS reality people every weekend... (see Facebook) They also seem to not be that good of friends, so a re-race might have had some entertaining moments…
Flight Time and Big Easy were entertaining and very competitive physically, as long as there aren't many "think" tasks... Same goes for Kisha and Jen. Kynt and Vyxen ARE the Amazing Race. They are at every function and fundraiser and live for that show, so a good choice as well.
Ron and Christina I am not crazy about. The dad came around during their season and I think they might ba a little boring this coming season. I would have preferred some other team instead.
Mallory is entertaining, so good choice, along with her smart dad. Funny, how the new race started a week after they got eliminated from TAR17.
The cowboys were definitely a fan favorite and deserve to be there. I don’t think they will have it as easy as in their (pretty lame) season.
Zev and Justin were too boring for my taste; I would have rather seen Steve and Linda...
Speaking of… As you can tell from their Facebook updates, or lack thereof, Steve and Linda, Mike and Mark, and Brad and Victoria were all cast as alternates… that leaves only Victor and Tammy as the winners, Preston and Jennifer, and the above mentioned Christie and Jodi out of the cast… I would have loved to see a TAR14 V2.0 to see how much luck and skill is really involved.
-
Has any of the teams relationships changed?
Amanda & Kris are now engaged, and I can't really say about Kynt & Vyxsin as they never liked using the term "dating". As for the rest, their relationship has no way of changing. Family is family and you wouldn't return to race with someone you no longer call a friend.

No, calling themselves dating would be too "mainstream".
-
For the record Amanda and kris do not have a grudge against Luke. They realize it's a game and that is that. Luke is , however , very annoying. Jamie is a biotch. Kris and Amanda are not in any way a bickering couple. That's my two cents.

BTW, welcome to RFF TeamKandA! :hearts:

I liked them. They were just done in by a bad flight choice and being U turned....
-
But we still have no confirmation of who was eliminated first ?
-
Amanda and Kris are looking likely, I am sad to say. Hopefully the next leg will tell....
-
I can confirm that Krisha and her sister are on the flight to Japan. Does not mean they are not eliminated, for Sequesterville could be near Japan. But she IS on the flight to Japan.
-
(:;) ugh I would cry !
-
I think we can confirm who emilinated when teams raced in Japan...
-
Thank god Ron/Christina are on this season <3
I hope she still has boogers in her bones.
-
Since this season we were fortunate enough to have a full cast reveal BEFORE the race began, we can probably now go from speculating on WHO our teams will be to discussing and spoiling their race activities!
