supposedly sent by 2 teams per season, one from a friendly team and one from an "enemy" team. I think the Bowling Moms wrote to Charla/Mirna, but I
don't know the other letters for TAR2, TAR9, or TAR10. Judging on the willingness of the teams to write/requirements, I'd say the other letters were
from Gary/Dave, the Hippies and Tyler/James.

I'd have guessed the TAR2 racer was Tara, given she was definitely contacted and agreed to do the show again (and is the only other TAR2 racer who ever really shows up for viewing parties). |

There was a premiere party for either TAR10 or all stars where they fielded Tara, Cyndi & Russell, Shola & Doyin (they attend almost all of the parties), Gutsy Granny Peggy and Mary & Peach. And Tara was good buddies on the Race with the Chas. In fact no one seemed to dislike them. Maybe they had Gary write a "funny" evil letter to them. |

Possibly, but I'm not sure where the idea of "one good, one evil" letter came from since JVJ and Uchenna/Joyce had two positive ones - and since
the Chas are even more well-liked than them, I'd have expected them to get another glowing one.
Interesting to hear Wil was contacted separately - a Wil/Alex team would have been a decent hybrid. |

After the domination of the Hippies, E/J and druggies, they were on an anti-alpha kick, which would've included them. A pity, because their relationship would be interesting to watch just based on their personality types (and then adding in the personal history). Plus, the possibility of Wil barely coming in second in SanFran again is hilarious. |

I doubt they really considered Wil/Alex, sadly - they did have a serious problem with the large number of all-male teams who were eligible for All-Star status
(Top 6+) as opposed to all-female teams (only 6 out of 54) or pairs (especially since a lot of couples like Frank/Marg, Tara/Wil, Colin/Christie etc were
unavailable to race together and for some bizarre reason they didn't want Zach).
Too bad they react so quickly to alpha-victories but never bother to limit the number of tedious couples

Well, I know you're Filipino so you can also search pirated DVD shops and you'd find plenty of TAR seasons there. |

After watching TAR2 for like the 30th time (I swear, that's the only cable season they play in this country) It makes you wonder where all the good teams
went after TAR3. Mary & Peach were pretty cool, Gary & Dave were comedy gold with their strange brand of evilness, Oswald & Danny truly redeemed
all-stars and Tara & Wil >> Jonathan & Victoria any day of the week.
As far as the rest of the rest of all-stars cast went... well, it wasn't too bad. The difference between the Survivor and TAR all-stars was that they could bring back less teams, but had more seasons to choose from. JVJ I cared little for. Kevin & Drew were a huge disappointment after season 1. David & Mary I despised in TAR10 and was glad they went out quickly. I'm sure CBS were looking for villains in Joe & Bill and Romber (well, just Rob) and possibly the BQ's. Problem was, Guido got old, Rob got fat and it was down to Dustin & Kandice and they managed to deliver throughout the second half, bribing teams for yields, winning legs, putting Mirna down to earth, they were awesome. BQ <33333333 As for the goody-goody teams, well, I'm not Mirna's biggest fan by any stretch, but Charla's strange quotes kept me amused. Teri & Ian in all-stars I thought were a surprisingly nice change from the grouchy couple from TAR3, U/J weren't too unbearable and Chas were great, as expected. Then there was Eric & Danielle... oh well. |

If only Charla and Mirna were not funny, I could have been one of their haters. Mirna was really bitchy in TAR5 and a little bitchy in TARAS. But Charla was
really funny in both seasons. Hahahaha!!

I liked Charla more than Mirna in TAR5 but I think All Stars really showcased Mirna in all her hilarious, slightly unhinged glory. And with Charla not really
performing as well as she did in TAR5 Mirna was really carrying the team through All Stars with her skill negotiating the airports, all the way to the final
three. They're just such a fun team to watch - they manage to kick arse while delivering one insane catchphrase after another, unlike the extreme blandness
of the BQs.
That's why despite the outcome and the suckiness of many of the challenges, I still enjoyed the season because C/M were featured in every episode, and my second-faves Oswald & Danny came close. |
