Amazing Race All Stars?

Ok, so rumor has it that there is going to be an All Star season of Amazing Race. There is even some speculation that it may be being filmed as we speak. How would people know? Well, on the official Amazing Race website they have a blog from former racers. It is usually full of comments...all of a sudden, it's down to just a couple of bloggers. Chip (of Chip and Reichen, winners of AR4) has put out there that many of the bloggers aren't blogging because they are racing...and it seems like those who are left agree. Who do I think is a part of the all star season? Well, I know who I would cast...
AR1 - Rob & Brennan, Kevin & Drew, Nancy & Emily, Joe & Bill
AR2 - Blake & Paige, Tara & Wil, Chris & Alex
AR3 - Flo & Zach, Ken & Gerard
AR4 - Jon & Al, Chip & Reichen, Kelly & Jon
AR5 - Chip & Kim, Colin & Christie, Linda & Karen, Charla & Mirna
AR6 - Gus & Hera, Jonathan & Victoria, Kris & Jon
AR7 - Uchenna & Joyce, Rob & Amber, Lynn & Alex
AR8 - 2 of the Linz siblings
AR9 - Eric & Jeremy, BJ & Tyler, Joseph & Monica
AR10 - not sure if anyone would be on...Dustin & Kandice, Cho brothers, Tyler & James, Dave & Mary
That's way more teams than you would put on one race, but at least these are the teams that should be chosen from. It's a shame that Chip & Reichen clearly aren't a part of the all-stars, and word is that Chip & Kim (winners of AR5) were very upset to not be included. Hmmm...

The other interesting part of the "are the filming AR All Stars right now?" discussion is that Chip has started answering questions on the blog. It's really interesting, behind the scenes stuff about the race. Like, did you know that everyone they ask directions for, they have to get a waiver signed from? Wow. If you're interested in reading, the blog is here:

Most of the Q&A are in the blog from episode 9. Thanks Chip - it's really nice of you to answer so many questions and give so much insight!
