Looks like The Amazing Race is jumping on the "All Stars edition" bandwagon. Commercials airing during the Survivor: Cook Islands finale indicated that the next season - starting some time in the next couple months - will pit "past seasons' strongest teams" against each other in the next race around the world.
Participating teams haven't been announced yet, but I can't wait to see who will be taking part!! I love The Amazing Race!

There HAVE been some teams spotted racing around the world, and by the sounds of it, it should be a pretty interesting cast. Lots of variety in teams, plus no completely alpha teams, which is kind of nice.

I forget names but The lady who shaved her head is on it and so are the 2 that were on Survivor. The hippies from the last season were not asked back and the angry man, I think he was a Magician and his pretty wife were asked but they just had a baby. I just read this gossip in a magazine

Wow, David... you guys have been showing them all in a goofy order!
We've had 10 seasons in North America...
AR1 - Rob & Brennan AR2 - Chris & Alex AR3 - Zach & Flo AR4 - Reichen & Chip AR5 - Chip & Kim AR6 - Freddy & Kendra AR7 - Uchenna & Joyce AR8 - I won't ruin it for ya AR9 - BJ & Tyler AR10 - Tyler & James
Oh, and don't you be dissin' the Paolo's, buddy. They were the only damn reason to watch that blasted Family edition. Yes, they bickered, but dammit, they had a LOT of heart, and that showed through at the end, which is why they're loved as much as they are (especially Mama Paolo).

I know that just because certain teams won, it doesn't mean that they're "interesting" enough to be asked back for the All Stars edition. And obviously this was the case with BJ & Tyler, if the rumor's true that Tamina heard about them not being asked back. But I think that all first place teams should've been asked back. The Amazing Race isn't like Survivor or Big Brother . On those two shows, sometimes boring people win because of their strategic abilities. So I can see why, for All Stars editions on those shows, the winners weren't necessarily the ones who were asked back to compete. On "AR," I don't think being "interesting" matters as much. It matters more that you're fast at completing roadblocks & detours and that you're able to beat the other teams in each leg. Those nine teams (not counting the "Family" winners) were the nine fastest & best/luckiest. I think they should be the ones competing. (Don't know if All Stars was shot before Season 10's winners were revealed or not.) One last thing... I'm sorry. But isn't Rob & Amber's fifteen minutes of fame over yet?

But isn't Rob & Amber's fifteen minutes of fame over yet? they were very competitive n also a little bit of a villian team!!! i guess that's what draws people!!!!!!! ar will look at times who were popular and also caused a bit of a talk!!!!!!!! i know the magician guy was asked but his wife had a baby and they didn't even make the final 4!!!!!!!! same with that little girl n her cousin, they were eliminated earlier on!!!!!!!!! either way, i'm sure it'll be fun 2 watch!!!!!!

Rob and Amber are an example of the best team NOT winning. Uchenna and Joyce may be nice people, but they won by fluke. There's no way you can say that they were better racers.
Likewise, when it came to season 6, Freddy and Kendra were NOT better racers then Kris and Jon.
And for the love of God, anybody who says that FLO was a good, smart racer should be shot.

I never saw the first three seasons. For some reason, I've never ended up watching reality shows during their first season. (The only exception being Big Brother.) I don't even think I saw the beginning of Season 4. I started watching mid-season when whatever I normally viewed at the time wasn't on. I got hooked and I've watched ever since. I wish that I HAD seen the first three seasons, though. I heard they were pretty good.

Well, the teams were announced this morning.
Not TOO many surprises. Only one team that previously won, a bunch of teams that hit some bad luck. A couple teams that weren't the best racers, but who the audience loved. And a team who started dating after their season and are now racing together...
Season 1:
Kevin & Drew (Frat Boys) - the original comic relief on this show. Came in 4th during the first season.
Joe & Bill [Team Guido] (Life Partners) - the original villains of the Amazing Race. Came in 3rd during the first season.
Season 2:
Oswald & Danny (Best Friends) - The FABULOUS duo whose carefree attitude carried them through to the final 4. Heck, they even stopped to go shopping at one point and still weren't eliminated as a result!
Season 3:
John Vito & Jill (Formerly Dating) - Yes, despite breaking up a few years after the race, this couple were a fan favourite because of just how damn sweet they were! They finished 5th during their first outting.
Teri & Ian (Married Parents) - They were the oldest team during their season, and still found a way to finish in the top 3. Now they want to improve on their second place finish.
Season 5:
Charla & Mirna (Cousins) - These cousins may have only finished 6th place during their season, but they're hoping they have what it takes to win All-Stars. Charla was notable for being the first (and only so far) small person on the race.
Season 7:
Rob & Amber (Married) - They met and fell in love during the filming of Survivor: All Stars. They were engaged during Season 7 of the Amazing Race. They got married in their own TV special, and now these 2nd place finishers are out to win the Amazing Race All Stars crown during their second try.
Uchenna & Joyce (Married) - The only team to have previously won, they were at the back of the pack during much of the first half of their season. Joyce braved getting her head shaved for a Fast Forward, and they were rewarded with a million bucks.
Season 9:
Eric & Danielle (Dating) - With his original partner Jeremy, Eric finished the race in second place, losing to the Hippies. Danielle wasn't so lucky, running into a 7th place finish with her best friend Dani (thanks to that damn Yield). However, since the race, they've started dating, and hope their new team dynamic takes them home in 1st.
Season 10:
Mary & David (Coalminer & Wife) - Nope, not just married... America's favourite coalminer and his wife finished 6th during the latest season of the race, but their ever so sweet personalities won over the world. Can they survive the race without help from their 6-pack?
Dustin & Kandice (Beauty Queens) - Likely the strongest all-female team the race has ever seen, a silly mistake in Morocco had them marked for elimination, and eventually out of the race in Spain. Can these blondes make up for their 4th place finish with a win this season?
The Amazing Race: All Stars will debut at 8pm on Sunday, February 18th on CBS

I am surprised only one winning team from before got in, but good luck to all.
