Okay, I've heard a number of different variations on this list, but it's pretty much what I was expecting. Glad to see a lack of a few notable teams <*cough*Flo*cough> but missing a few I was hoping to see again -- I'd seen Kris and Jon confirmed on a few lists I'd seen (though another spoiler I saw had them 'dropped out at the last minute'.) Overall it feels pretty 'ho-hum' casting to me, given the personalities they had to work with. Ah well. I have a favourite already, and a please, please, please for first out.

Count me among the people who feel that this list is too heavy with "villains". There are some teams on here that I never wanted to see again, and I was glad to see the back of when they were eliminated (Rob and Amber, Dustin and Kandice, Teri and Ian, Bill and Joe). This is going to be like Family Edition with me: Something to get through until the real show can start back up again.

I'm sorry Kris and Jon aren't on the list. They are my all-time favorite TAR couple. And I'm sorry Charla and Mirna are back on...they are among my least-favorite couples of all time.

I can't help but notice that they do not have any strong all male teams. Guess they did that on purpose so there would not be such a heavy favorite. I agree with the "let's get thru this fast so we can get back to our regular race" theory...

CBS has the Allstars site up and going with bios and videos of the new teams in case anyone is interested.

Could someone post a link to the CBS Allstars site? I can (usually) do links, but can't negotiate around a big site in search of a particular topic. Thanks in advance!

Well at least the clowns aren't in it. First to go Rob & Amber, or BQ The rest I can take any of them to win it.

I didn't start watching the race from the beginning. What year did it begin?

Yay, on being able to see some of the fun players on the all-star edition. Cha Cha Cha! Wish they'd left the 'whiners' at their last finish line though. eta: Bigfan, the show started in 2001 and has had ten 'seasons' aired.

Thanks alot Urgrace. I appreciate the information. My son just got the dvd of season 1 and we loved watching it but we were wondering how long ago it had been. Thanks again!

The cool thing about these reality shows is that they evolve over the seasons, cobbling or correcting and creating different results.

rumor has it that John Vito and Jill were actually a standby team--Kris and Jon from the same season they were in pulled out at the last second apparently.

I'm so sad Kris and Jon aren't going to be on the show. But I liked John Vito and Jill and they will probably be the team I pull for at the start. And Rob and Amba, of course.

I was looking forward to this TAR season but Amber & Rob just ruined it for me.

Is it just me, did Amber have blonde hair, and she color dark?

I agree that Amber does look a little different in that picture but she was never blonde.
