On, and TAR11 is pretty much going to be an All-Stars version. Charla/Mirna & Colin/Christie from TAR5 are confirmed, at least according to Sucks (but still, I don't think it being an All Stars is confirmed, but it's looking 99.9% likely).

*orgasm*

It's a longshot but I hope they get super-cute oldies Don & Mary Jean.

TAR11 is turning into either one of the worst kept TV secrets ever or a huge hoax.

I love Don & Mary Jean!! But I think Kris & Jon would be the only team they'd bring in from TAR6. Teri & Ian might be the oldest couple they'd bring in even though I'd love to see D&MJ and even David & Margaretta, Meredith & Gretchen, and heck even the Gutsy Grannies!

Oh, and Mary Jean was able to finish that Senegalese salt water Road Block better than Baby Adam and the most of the other girls, so I'd say they were pretty tough.

I'm sad, I don't where I've been, but I just read over at TWoP that John Vito and Jill broke up What sad news.

I hope they bring back Kris and Jon. As boring as they were, they were one of my favorite teams ever.

I'd love to see Linda and Karen back from TAR5. Danny and Oswald would be fun. Don and Mary Jean! I loved them! I thought for sure if any older couple could go far it would be them ... but alas ... I wouldn't mind Lena and Kristy coming back.

I'll jump out a window if Meredith and Gretchen are brought back.

LOL.

I liked them enough, but I preferred Don and Mary Jean, by far. I loved them. I hope they get a second chance. They so deserve it.

What encourages me is that Phil and a producer (probably Bertram Van Muster) said they'd like to focus on earlier seasons (because the race is so different now) and maybe bring back some earlier eliminated couples.

Quick update:

CONFIRMED:

Charla & Mirna (TAR5)

Colin & Christie (TAR5)

Uchenna & Joyce (TAR7)

Marion & DJ Paolo (TAR8)

POSSIBLY:

Rob & Amber (TAR7)

Ken & Gerard (TAR4?)

NOT IN:

Marshall & Lance (TAR5) - they quit TAR5

Paul & Amie (TAR1) - he has a movie

Rob & Brennan (TAR1)

Dennis & Andrew (TAR3) - not asked

Chip & Reichen (TAR4) - broken up; Reichen has a book tour

Alison & Donny (TAR5) - for obvious reasons

Chip & Kim (TAR5) - Chip confirmed it -- they aren't happy about it

Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) - not asked apparently (thank god)

Gaghan Family (TAR8) - not asked(?)

BJ & Tyler (TAR9) - nope, not asked(?)

Ray & Yolanda (TAR9) - not asked (not happy either)

Although take them all with a grain of salt (except for the NOT IN teams) until an official announcement is sent out.

And here's the interview I mentioned: http://tv.ign.com/articles/732/732839p4.html

Charla & Mirna (TAR5) :SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE: :D :D

I hope its GOOD!

Please, for the love of God... no Rob & Amber.

And Uchenna & Joyce? There are better teams out there, FAR better teams.

Apparently, there is a horrific rumor that Reichen WILL be racing, but with Lance Bass! Talk about famewhores! If this is true, I will throw something at the TV. I don't want TAR to turn into some VH1 celebreality show.

I'm sad that the Gaghans weren't asked. BJ & Tyler aren't happy about being asked either, their stupid self-promoting posts at CBS.com show that they think they are the most popular, funniest Racers ever. Shut up.

Ken & Gerard (TAR3 actually) HAVE to be on... as with Teri & Ian. I wouldn't mind Tian & Jaree. Though for TAR4, I'd rather Kelly & Jon.

Here's a red carpet interview with Tian where she basically says something is coming and that she could be a part of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghg24KaY9x4.

I want Jonathan and Victoria, Derek and Drew, Teri & Ian, Kelly & Jon, Jon & Al (clown team), Peggy & Claire (if they're still alive), DAVID AND LORI!!!!

Ew to the Paolo people and RAmber.

I want Danny and Oswald. They are the team I remember and liked best from season 2, when I first started watching TAR. I think Jon and Victoria had a baby not too long ago. I like Uchenna and Joyce but why not give non-winners a chance? Derek and Drew are okay, too, but please, no Flo. I can't remember their names from the family edition but that father with one of his 3 daughters would be nice, too.

Of the confirmed teams, I am least happy about Charla & Mirna. I hated them. And I sure hope Rob & Amber are not back.

I actually liked Chip & Reichen so would have liked to have seen them.

I sure hope that the gay team from the first season are not back. I didn't like them either. I think Team Guido or something like that.

Other than those Charla/Mirna, Rob/Amber, and Team Guido - I can deal with any of them. Those are the 3 worse teams ever to me.

Don't want to turn TAR10 thread into the TAR11 speculation thread, but here's the latest list from TWoP:

Ok, hold onto your hats. I just got more info from my "source." The show will be called "Amazing Race:Return Of The Racers." 11 teams start racing on 11/11.

Teams that are in:

Reichen/Lance Bass

Uchenna/Joyce

Mama Paolo/DJ

Rob/Amber

Colin/Christie

Mirna/Charla

Guidos

Kevin/Drew

Not confirmed

Greg/Survivor Woman (only because rumor has it they may have broken up)

Ray/Deana

Not asked

Chip/Kim

Rob/Brennan

XXX/Victoria

Clowns

Interviewed but didn't make final cut

Ken/Gerard

Susan/Patrick

Debbie/Bianca

Just the thought of this info being true makes me sick.

Reichen & Lance? Rombuh?

No to Uchenna and Joyce... I can't believe they considered Susan/Patrick and Debbie/Bianca? Maybe even Ray/Deana?

And Ken & Gerard DID NOT mak the cut?

I really hope every single piece of information we've heard so far is absolute garbage becuase if not, then someone (I'm guessing CBS execs) wants to f--- TAR into the ground.

Anyway, I'm excited about normalTAR tomorrow!

BOOOO to Romber. God. Why can't they just GO AWAY!

I like Kevin and Drew and am glad to see them on the list. I would of liked to see Debbie and Bianca back, or even Susan and Patrick.

I'm NOT happy about Reichen and Lance. It's TAR-All Stars, not half past race/new squeeze.

I bet Romber win. I call it right now.

And of all the winners, they pick Uchenna and Joyce? I liked them, sure, but why not a different token black couple? Ray/Yolanda? Frank/Margarita?

But back to TAR10 ... lol.

Well with that I may not even watch the next TAR. They are bringing back all the worst teams in the Race history. That list stinks.

I thought Rob & Amber were doing a reality show for FOX? I know CBS has a contract that there contestants cannot appear on another show until a year after there contract.

Greg/Survivor Woman (only because rumor has it they may have broken up)

That would be Jennifer Lyon from Survivor: Palau
