Nice to have 4 teams I can root for, only 1 team who never should be racing again, and the rest who never struck me as 'All Star' material to be invited. Maybe the 'hippies' wanted to stay at home rooting for the 'frat boys' and not go up against an equally likeable team. Good choice knowing when your 3 hours of fame is up before you become a has been reality show joke.

I always take issue w/ the term "All-Stars". I did w/ Survivor & w/ BB, and now TAR. To me "All-Stars" implies the best racers from each season, which would be (imho) the final 3 or 4. I would've enjoyed seeing equally matched teams competing. Then the title of winner of All-Stars would actually carry some meaning. Oh Well, I expect to still enjoy, but I'll just be thinking of it as TAR 11 instead of "all-stars".

I will reserve judgement on all the teams. Some I liked in their seasons, others I did not. But I know things can change my mind. For example, I really did not like Rob at all in his first season of Survivor, but I have come to appreciate his humor and hard work. And I like the fact that he can laugh at himself. I only remember one time when he spoke sharply to Amber and then he was so apologic afterwards.

You would think that producers would learn that the "All Star" concept is not worth the trouble it takes. Jeff Probst has been very vocal about their All Star season being the worst for him (all the contestants had "people.") It didn't help their ratings. All Star Big Brother nearly killed the franchise with ratings below previous seasons.

For me, this show is so much about the racing. So, the all stars doesn't bother me the way it does in some ways with survivor and big brother. I do like the all stars for all three shows in a way, I get curious about what they've been up to. But for Surv. and BB, I really much prefer unknowns. So far, I'm not bothered by it for TAR. (I LOVE this show!!!) I saw Phil doing an interview the other day. I think, I'm not certain though, that he said these were people they thought should be on or people the viewers wanted to see or whatever. But at the beginning of ep 1 of AS TAR, I really thought I heard the voice (or maybe it's Phil's voice?) say something like these teams are the best racers. I remember thinking (when I heard that) that statement really contradicted what I'd heard Phil say before the race.

I kind of like the AllStar aspect because now it's easier for me to get 'vested' in a team since i already know them. It always takes me so long to sort out who is who.

We hated the idea of AllStars for BB b/c half the fun of watch the live feeds is the hamsters getting to know eachother (and us trying to figure who is who). But with Amazing Race the competitors don't need to get to know eachother, and what we enjoy watching is the relationships between the teammates, the competitions, and the RACE. We always complain that they eliminate so many before we really get a chance to know them. So it is nice to already know them this go around. 'squeek'

I also think it's different for AR to do an "All-Star" edition compared to Survivor and BB. Survivor All-Stars was the worst season, and BB All-Stars, while entertaining to me personally, wasn't up to par with say, BB4 and BB6. Since there's less personal interaction between the contestants on this show, I think this race will be better than most because you've got some of the best competitors ever trying to out maneuver each other. I think that only David & Mary got in on their personalities...they were poor racers who just happened to make strong friends...so I imagine they'll be out after Kevin & Drew.

Rob & Amber Out But Not Down on Reality TV Though they are closing in on their second year of marriage, Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich are not, however, closing in on their second reality-show victory. Last Sunday, the pair, winners of Survivor: All-Stars, became the fourth team out of The Amazing Race: All-Stars. But fear not, Romber fans: The two may be back for a second season of their FOX Reality show Against the Odds – as well as something else that could be "be huge," promises Mariano. During a rare break between TV appearances, Mariano, 31, and Brkich, 28, spoke to PEOPLE about their on-screen fortunes: You had won three legs of the Race in a row but lost through a series of mishaps. Yet teams still competed hard with you until the end. Rob: I couldn't believe it, to tell you the truth. I thought for sure they would have learned from the first season we did it that just focusing on us, all it's going to do is distract the teams, but what can I say? They took the bait again! We were thrilled. Amber: It's actually a huge compliment. Rob: No team had ever come in first for the first two legs in a row, never mind the first three, so we were definitely doing well until we ran into some bad luck. Viewers, like your competition, love and hate you equally. Is that the key to your TV success? Rob: I think it's great. By no means do we not realize that it's the fans that watch the shows that allow us to continue to be on TV and doing these things. There are people who love to root against us, but whether they love us or hate us, they're watching and we're pulling in viewers and the networks see that and it makes for dramatic television, which is what reality TV is all about. You had your first executive-produced series on FOX Reality. Rob: It's the first series in which Amber and I came up with the premise. I got to pursue my dream of playing poker and being tutored by one of the best in the world. Amber: Rob would love to be back in Vegas any second. That show was special because we were actually living our real lives. We weren't starving on an island and being bitten alive by bugs. So what's next for you? Rob: Actually, we have a big project coming up, probably the biggest project we've ever worked on. It's bigger than Survivor and bigger than the Amazing Race. I mean, when you hear about this thing, it's going to be huge and it will blow your mind. How about kids? Are there any in your future? Amber: We definitely want a family and we've been talking about it. ... But I think it was also important for us to spend the first couple of years just the two of us together.

LOL Pamy!!! Well it won't have to do with them having a baby, on TAR internet talk show, Rob said they would never do that, or maybe it was just never allow cameras in the delivery rm.

Nope. Amber and Rob said there would be no show about giving birth (besides Danny Bonaduce already did that.. had his wife give birth on tv for some money). I hope it is really big and I'll be watching. I wonder if he or they might be hosts for something big?

Having just gone back and watched the innertubes from the sequestered teams, I just have to say that I really like Jill. She seems to be a natural, friendly person and is always the first to greet any team. I wish she and Jon Vito had been on the race longer...and I wish I could vacation at that place... it is BEAUTIFUL!
