The problem with not watching TAR this season because you may not like some of the teams is that ratings this season affect whether there will be a TAR to watch next season.

Let's see. In the first ten seasons they had three contestants that had appeared previously on another reality show. That is not a lot IMO.

I've said from the first time there was talk of an All Stars that I would not watch if those two were on it. I'm sticking to my word. I'm just tired of people who constantly go on reality shows (and these two sorta ruined two of my fav shows, too).

And LOL @ Nick! I agree!!!! See, the thing is, real "normal" people apply to be on these shows. These wannabe "celebs" (and geez, do I use that term loosely) take someone's place. Let someone ELSE enjoy their time on a reality show, and let THEM have a chance to win a million bucks.

I loved the Hippy Boys. Where the heck are the Hippy Boys? I think Romber got their spot.

I'm watching because <100>. I hope this is the last All Stars anything. I will never watch anything again with Boogie on it though. Ugh. <77>

I'm surprised no one has commented on Mary's tshirt. "Missing" and it looks like a photo of the Cho brothers from their season. I was giggling.

I enjoyed watching Romber during their season. They were always polite to the locals and played the game smart. And they were supportive of eachother (not yelling and bickering).

As for the Hippies - maybe they had other things going on and couldn't get away for this? Maybe they didn't want us to be tired of their actions and antics (smart of them).

Now, I'm off to watch the show (DVR'd it).

I think the Hippies were not happy about not being included, same with Chip and Kim.

I like Rob and Amber too and I'm glad to see them back. They're competitive and treat each other nicely and with respect.

There's a lot of good, fun teams this time. I really can't think of anyone I want to see leave immediately.

So maybe we need a thread for all the people not watching it to talk?

I'm happy that Rob and Amber are on, and the Guidos and the Cha Chas. I love Joyce and Uchenna but really don't think just "some" winners should be included while others aren't. Either you have all stars with the best teams (of those available, of course) or you don't. It is also sad that they are still riding the "we aren't sure we can make it as a couple because of all the stress" horses.

Who are the Cha Chas?
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this tonight; am delighted to see Rob and Amber again, and many of the others too.

Oswald and Danny are team Cha Cha Cha. Hispanic gay couple from Miami. When they ran their race they were not a couple, but some of my friends met them in Key West later and said they certainly had a connection and cared for each other (and were great dancers, too)

Sorry John Vito and Jill had to go first, but maybe this will be the spark to reignite their romance.

wow, I am shocked how many people here are actually liking Rob and Amber. I haver never seen two people more completely full of themselves. They seem to think they are the center of the other racers' universe, why I really don't know (oh yea, must be their gargantuan egos).

I'm rooting for Danny and Oswald (love them!) and Charla and Mirna. Hopefully the Rob and Amber show will see a quick end.

I'm another Rob and Amber fan and was happy to see them come in first at tonight's pit stop. I don't knock other teams or people. I liked some of the other teams from their seasons and would be happy to see whoever wins. I love to see all the beautiful scenery on this show and think it's one of the best shows on TV.

If you dislike Rob for being manipulative and dishonest, then you must also dislike Mary because she just out and out lied to the the Blondes.

I wonder if people are going to be as outraged by that as they would be if it had been Rob who did it. I seriously doubt it.

The only difference between Rob and Mary is that he was good at it and she was clumsy. She has not had as much practice. But by the end of the race, she may be as good as Rob. LOL

It is abundantly clear that the producers are asking them to play the same schtick, each team, pretty much.. I think it is tired and unimaginative, but it is clear from the interviews.. Rob and Amber and the Beauty Queens are portrayed as full of themselves, oh and the BQ will keep talking about being the first female team to win. Kevin and Drew billed as clueless and out of shape, Mirna and Charla "I'm STILL going to use my size to take advantage" and theyu are still going to yell at cab drivers with strange accents, Cha Cha will be happy guys, Guidos, no one likes us but we don't care, Terry and Ian as abrasive older team, David and Mary, well they are still clueless, she is still yammering at him in the car but now they've decided to add being liars, sigh. Joyce and Uchenna still hope racing, despite having won already, will bring them together more, same with JV and jill, but they are gone. And then we have the team that wasn't a team before, yawn, but he's still acting sexist and demanding and she's still acting girly.

Anyway,it isn't only Rob and Amber being "billed" and interviewed for certain characteristics.

I didn't like David/Mary from their last race. I certainly didn't get America's love affair with them. It looks like Mary's true colors are gonna shine this time.

I'm all about the BQ's and ChaChaCha. I'm so happy to see both teams again. The rest of them are just filler fluff.

I watched the post show clips on CBS and discovered that Drew is on a lot of prescription meds as he was seriously hurt in a brawl in a court room. He has a couple of herniated discs and other injuries. Apparently, he is a Court Officer and this all occurred in the performance of his duties. In the clip Joyce was giving him trouble about the weight of his pack and he showed her he had two packs. The smaller one was all his prescriptions.

Now we know.

I don't care of David and Mary, either. I mean, as people they may be alright...but as competitors...well...

They won't make it very far with nobody there to run the race for them.

C'mon people...lets peacefully dislike who we dislike. Nobody's going to sway me over to the darkside and I'm certainly not going to tell all the Romber fans they're wrong. ;D

The term "AllStars" is a misnomer anyway...as it is with all these AllStar shows.

Subject to change, as more personality is shown...

DO NOT LIKE:

Mirna/Charla
Mary/David
Eric/Danielle (just because they shouldn't be there -- they weren't a team before...JMO!)

NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE:

Drew/Kevin
Uchenna Joyce
Guidos
BQs

LIKE

Rob/Amber
Oswald Danny

I don't see Rob and Amber as being full of themselves, just supremely confident. And you can't deny they are in the other racers heads, as well as some of the other racers (Team ChaChaCha)being big fans of theirs. Remember that was one of their advantages in the last race: people AROUND THE WORLD recognized them and wanted to help them. I think it would be difficult to remain humble in that situation, but they seem to only play to the camera, and not flaunt it to the others. It was amusing to me when Rob had the shuttle stop for Danny and Oswald and then seemed to genuinely fret over having done it, as if he was afraid he was getting soft. I'm with Starshine tho' the best things about the show are the locations and scenery (and Phil, of course)

Yes, Rob was cute about that. I also give him points for acknowledging that he owed them the stop since they have gotten to the airport by following Danny and Oswald.

Anything that is entertaining (ie, book, movie, cartoon, reality show..lol) has heros and villians. I watch these shows for the Cha Chas and the Rombers, to see one win and one lose. My favorite doesn't always win (Boogie) but it is as much fun watching and hoping they get their a** kicked as it is watching my favorite make it to the finish line.
