(Note: This blog post will spoil results for the first 31 seasons of the U.S. edition of The Amazing Race.)

In less than a week, CBS’s flagship reality show, Survivor, will air the premiere of its highly-anticipated fortieth season – a season where every single contestant is the winner of a previous season (or in one case, two previous seasons).

In almost any contest, a best-of-the-best scenario such as this is inherently appealing. You get to take a bunch of competitors, who oftentimes have not actually faced each other, but who represent the most successful participants in the contest in question, and see how well they do when faced off against each other. Major sporting events like the World Series and the Super Bowl stem from this principle, as do related events like baseball’s All-Star Game. The long-running game show Jeopardy! regularly takes the fifteen most successful champions from the past year or two and pits them in a tournament against each other – and sometimes does even bigger events, like its recent and highly-prominent Greatest of All Time Tournament, where the three greatest champions in the show’s over 35-year history faced off against each other.

Now Survivor is doing a season of all winners, and for a massive The Amazing Race fan like me, it’s hard to look at it and not think about how a similar season of TAR might be structured. TAR has never really done any sort of best-of-the-best season – sure, there have been seasons labeled “All-Stars”, but as those familiar with the reality TV scene will recognize, “Stars” often will refer to characters or their impacts on the audience, rather than simple racing skill. The overall caliber of the casts of these seasons has been mixed at best, and most teams that were really dominant in their original run have never returned to race again.

I think an all-winners season of The Amazing Race would (if produced well) be a fun event to pit some of the better teams in the show’s history against each other. Of course, you can argue all you want about what exactly makes a team “good”, but winning a season is always a significant achievement that requires some degree of skill – lasting throughout the entire season, and then not choking under the pressure of the final leg, can be helped by luck, but an utterly hapless team will never be able to accomplish this feat, so we know that every winning team has at least a decent amount of racing ability, even if this premise might exclude some teams that could be considered to be “better” on the whole but failed to actually win the Race.

In this post, I’ll look at the 31 teams who have previously won the Race, and consider which ones I personally would cast for a modern-day all-winners season. Some notes before I start:

-I’d be casting for a mixture of a) a decently diverse array of teams, b) decent competitive balance, and c) a good mix of personalities. You could just take the eleven winners with the highest racing average and pit them against each other, but that probably wouldn’t make for the best possible all-winners season. Less impressive winning performances won’t disqualify a team from this hypothetical season, as long as they would likely be able to still race competitively.

-This hypothetical casting DOES take actual feasibility into account, as far as whether a winning team would likely be able/willing to return to the Race. A lot of time has passed since the earlier winners won their seasons, and they might no longer be in good shape to race well. In addition, quite a few couples have won the race and subsequently broken up. I don’t think bringing a couple back together just to Race is a very good idea – maybe in less serious cases, like John Vito & Jill’s return to the original All-Stars, but not for a case like a formerly married couple who divorced – and so any such split couple is automatically excluded from consideration for this hypothetical cast. That results in the exclusion of several teams from this list who otherwise would likely be locks for the cast.

-This is, of course, largely based on subjective opinion (with some objective facts in terms of teams’ current situations and how they did in their original runs), and not an authoritative list of the best possible cast. Feel free to disagree, but please do so nicely.

With that, let’s get on with it, starting with eight teams who I think ought to be definite “yes”es to be cast:

Teams I Would Definitely Cast

1) Rob & Brennan (Season 1)

I feel like in a season of all winners, it would be only right to include the first winners ever. Unlike Survivor’s first winner, Rob & Brennan didn’t do anything controversial after their victory that would make CBS feel uncomfortable with bringing them back, and so they make for a natural choice.

It would, of course, be a much different race for them then in their first go, and they may well not be the strongest competitors. It’s been nearly 20 years since they raced originally, and it is true that they benefited in Season 1 from 75% of their competition imploding in the ninth leg, leaving them with only Frank & Margarita to compete against. However, in their 40s, I think they could do fine as long as they’re still decently fit, and their life experience since them would likely result in them being one of the smarter teams to race. And as we saw in Season 31, teams from the olden days can compete well in the modern Race…

Rob & Brennan wouldn’t make for the most dynamic team for a season like this, but given their place in TAR history, I think they belong in it anyway. They were even seen fairly recently in the TAR canon, as they visited the live starting line for Season 27. Barring them being in poor physical shape, I don’t think that they ought to be left out of an all-winners season.

2) Flo & Zach (Season 3)

This is the most questionable of my choices in terms of “would they actually be willing to race again?” And if Flo & Zach had actually been a full-fledged couple during Season 3, they probably wouldn’t seem like as good of a casting choice here. They’ve moved well on with their lives since then – Zach has been married for over 10 years, Flo’s been in other relationships and previously declined an invitation to race in All-Stars with Drew, partly because she thought the Race brought out the worst in her. But at the same time, they’ve had a very long time to recover from the stress of their first Race, and were undeniably just friends even by the end of that season. I could see them being willing to return.

And I would want them to, because Flo & Zach would be one of the most interesting teams from the early seasons to see return. We saw Flo frequently break down to varying degrees, and Zach supporting her and pushing the whole team forward, numerous times during Season 3. Now Flo has had almost twenty years to mature – would that result in her running a much more stable race, or would the pressures of the competition reawaken those meltdowns and continue to give her trouble? Would an older Zach, probably less closely invested in her well-being, be able to lead the team as well? Would they have a similar feel to in their original appearance, or would they be totally different? It would be fascinating to see how much they have or haven’t changed in the years since their original Race, much like it was with Colin & Christie in Season 31.

I would imagine they’d be into the competition as well. Flo & Zach were probably the most social team in a season where social bonds proved extremely important, and they’d probably bring a similar gameplay style to a new season, while still wanting the win for themselves. Yes – I think that, if they were willing to do it, Flo & Zach would be an excellent casting choice for an all-winners season indeed.

3. BJ & Tyler (Season 9)

This is bound to be the most controversial of my picks. I’m well aware that BJ & Tyler have their share of detractors in the online fanbase – many viewers who simply found them obnoxious, camera hogs, or whatever else, couldn’t stand them, and would be intensely annoyed to see them returning to the Race after all these years.

We’ll be going over this soon enough – Season 9 is the next season up in my series of rewatches – but BJ & Tyler are my favorite team of all time. They’re just that entertaining and fun for me to watch. And with that in mind, it would be virtually impossible for me to not cast them.

My own personal bias aside, however, I think they make an excellent casting choice all the same. This is a team that you know is going to bring entertainment to the season. They’d be up to their old antics again, they’d make us laugh (or groan, or roll our eyes, if we don’t like them), and there would be hardly a dull moment. They would be guaranteed to inject extra life into the season. But… I think we could also confidently expect them to bring a competitive drive to the season. BJ & Tyler are a team that would come into an all-winners season wanting to beat the other victorious teams and be crowned the best of the best. They would race to win, that combined with their personalities would probably rub some teams the wrong way… and boom, the season just got that much more interesting. As long as things didn’t get too ugly and/or personal, I think the drive they’d bring to the season would be a fantastic addition.

From a personal point of view, they may not be the team that you’d want to see coming back for an all-winners season. But from show production’s standpoint? They’re a golden casting choice.

4. Meghan & Cheyne (Season 15)

Here’s where we first talk about a team from a certain archetype that has yielded quite a few winning teams in the past: a young couple (either a romantic couple or a brother and sister) who’s typically a quite stable team, and generally does well, but doesn’t have a ton that stands out about them. Because of the number of such winning teams that we’ve seen, there needs to be some reason that stands out in some way in order for them to be a realistic contender for a slot in the all-winners season. Meghan & Cheyne perhaps have even more need for such a reason, as they’re generally considered to be an especially bland, uninteresting team.

But they do have a reason, and a compelling one in my book: They have one of the most dominant performances of any winning team in TAR history. Through the twelve legs of Season 15, they only placed below 2nd in a leg twice, logging an average finishing placement of 2.0 – the third-best such average in Race history (if I have my statistics straight), and the second-best by a winning team. In a best-of-the-best sort of season like this, you want to include a top performance like that – it can cement their legacy if they do well, or add prestige to any teams who beat them. And with top-performing winners, Rachel & Dave, now divorced and unlikely to be willing to race together again, it makes having the next-best winners compete be that much more desirable.

Meghan & Cheyne might not make for the most exciting cast members for our all-winners season, but you do need a certain degree of competitiveness in the season, and they would contribute well on that front. I even found an old “Where are they now?” article (from about 2014-2015) where they specifically stated that they wanted to do an all-winners season! The most dominant winning team that’s still a team is, in my opinion, a team that you want to put on an all-winners season.

5) Nat & Kat (Season 17)

This is the obvious choice – the team that, if there ever really WAS an all-winners season, I would be most shocked to see excluded. Why? Because Nat & Kat were the first all-female winners. Many fans had been hoping for their win for years, they represented what is still considered a historic milestone in the show’s history, and they were on one of the all-time most popular seasons of the Race to boot. I think there’s zero chance that CBS would want to pass over them.

They’d make a solid casting choice as well. I don’t think they’d be much different than they were in their initial appearance, but would continue to be reasonably calm, smart, stable, and competent. They’d be a competitive force and a team that many fans would automatically root for because of what they did before. Not a whole lot else to say about them – having every team in this season be exactly like them probably wouldn’t be the best, but having one is just fine, and while I’m not super-excited about them as a choice, I have no problem with them taking up their obvious role in the season.

6) Amy & Maya (Season 25)

One of the more interesting choices, to be sure. Amy & Maya are one of the biggest underdog winners in the show’s history, and that could conceivably be taken as a reason to not put them on an all-winners season, for fear that they wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rest of the pack. But there are two main reasons that I would put them on. One is, admittedly, a bit of a shallow reason, and that’s to have a second all-female team on the season. Just Nat & Kat as an all-female team would likely ruffle some feathers, and while I personally don’t think the gender balance of racers is particularly (if at all) important, I know that it matters more to some people and it does make the cast look more well-rounded as a whole – and I’d put Amy & Maya on over Kisha & Jen.

The other, bigger, reason to cast Amy & Maya is that of all the winning teams, they have the most to prove. They only won their season due to an unprecedented, highly controversial twist, which moved the final elimination from the end of the eleventh leg to the early part of the twelfth leg, giving them a free massive equalizer when they were behind and exhausted. That puts a massive question mark on their victory for many fans (even I, who liked them the most of the final four teams, disliked the way they won due to that dumb twist) – and that massive question mark makes them a perfect team to put on an all-winners season! If they do well, they vindicate themselves and prove themselves worthy. If they struggle and fall out early, most fans won’t be very upset because they’ll conclude that they didn’t belong there in the first place. It’s a perfect, ready-made storyline for the season, and in the meantime I think we’d be able to rely on Amy & Maya to bring their same likeable spirit to the Race as they did in Season 25.

It would certainly make for a somewhat controversial casting choice, but I think it would be worth it.

7) Brooke & Scott (Season 29)

This is a choice that I make somewhat reluctantly. I am not a fan of Brooke & Scott, or of their victory in Season 29. But at the same time… they make an obvious casting choice for an all-winners season. They’re big fans of the show who would be super excited about such a season. They’re one of the most recent winners. They have the obvious story hook of “They were strangers last time, how will they do with each other now?” (Although if Becca & Floyd’ appearance on Season 31 is any indication, that hook wouldn’t lead to much.) They’re a team that many people will still remember, and that will elicit a lot of feeling from fans – both love and hatred. They would not be boring.

I don’t know that I would enjoy having them on our all-winners season, but I don’t see any justification for leaving them off the cast.

8) Colin & Christie (Season 31)

But of course! The most recently-aired winners of The Amazing Race are a slam-dunk casting choice for the all-winners season – a legendary team from the olden days who dominated then but had infamous meltdowns, who then returned, dominated now, but lost the meltdowns for a personality makeover. Colin & Christie are perhaps the clearest case there is of a legendary TAR team, and they’re another team which I think there’s no way CBS would want to pass up on for this season.

They’d certainly bring the competitive aspect to this season, having had the most dominant multiple-season performance of any team – as a quick reminder, the last time they finished worse than 4th in a leg was in Season 5, Leg 2. I’d put them right up there with Meghan & Cheyne and Rachel & Dave as one of the most dominant winning teams of all time – although they admittedly may not look so good when they have more than three other veteran TAR teams to go up against.

The one possible ‘downside’ to having them back again is that another return wouldn’t bring nearly as much interest as their return in Season 31. I think it’s pretty clear what we’d get from them on an all-winners season – more of Season 31 Colin & Christie, all zen and peaceful and ready to kick butt on the racecourse. That’s not bad, but it’s not the interesting contrast/growth story that they had in their second race. Season 31 Colin & Christie will always be the best version in terms of character/storytelling. But with that being said – they would absolutely be good casting choices for an all-winners season.

Teams I Might Possibly Cast

The above section included eight teams. For a proper season of The Amazing Race, we need eleven teams. How to fill those last three slots? To me, none of the other former winners has that strong of a case to be brought back. But there are, essentially, two groups among them – those that I could conceivably see as decent choices, and those whom I wouldn’t consider at all.

Here I’ll go over the former group, with quick discussions of the teams that might possibly have a place, but aren’t definite casting choices like the teams I discussed at first.

Chris & Alex (Season 2)

There’s not a whole lot of reason to want to cast Chris & Alex for this season. While I will certainly contend that they’re a distinct team from Rob & Brennan, the fact remains that those two teams, in addition to winning back-to-back seasons, filled a very similar archetype of the young male friends. Chris & Alex were never so amazingly dynamic to be a must-have team, nor did they put on that impressive of a season.

The main reason to want to put them on the all-winners season would be if we wanted to have another old-school team – I think they’re the best option from the first eleven seasons outside of the three I listed earlier, and could make an ideal replacement if one of those teams wasn’t able or willing to compete. Other than that possibility, however, I don’t think there’s any reason to consider them strongly.

Chip & Kim (Season 5)

Chip & Kim have the potential to be a fantastic casting choice for our all-winners season. They were one of the most popular winners at the time of their victory, they’re a distinct team with a big fun personality in Chip, resurrecting the rivalry with Colin & Christie would be epic, and they wouldn’t be like any of the other returning winners.

However, they have one very significant obstacle in such a season: their age. Chip & Kim were the oldest winning team in TAR history when they won, and they maintain that record today. And it’s now been over 15 years since their victory, and they’re now both in their sixties. We have had old couples compete and do fairly well on the Race before, so it’s not a foregone conclusion that Chip & Kim couldn’t do the same today. I don’t know what sort of physical shape they’re in now, and if they are in good shape then they would be a slam-dunk choice. But I also feel like there’s just as much chance that they’re not in the best shape, and that combined with their age would prevent them from being able to be remotely competitive in this season. They’d need to be able to at least put up a fight for several legs to be a good casting choice; if they’d just fizzle in the first or second leg, it’s not worth using up a slot on them.

Nick & Starr (Season 13) or Tammy & Victor (Season 14)

Remember how I mentioned that archetype of the young couple that typically does quite well? Well, Seasons 11 through 15 all were won by such a team (your mileage may vary on Season 11, but I’ll lump it in for this discussion since the ‘young couple’ part matches). Because of this, I definitely wouldn’t take more than two teams maximum from that stretch of seasons. If I was to take a second team to go along with Meghan & Cheyne, it would be one of the two siblings teams who won back-to-back.

Both teams got along pretty well, ran mostly strong races and won, and have their share of detractors who found them too boring or annoying. I’d bet that Nick & Starr would be a better option if you wanted more competitive fire for the season, while Tammy & Victor would be the go-to team if you wanted to have a more likeable contender.

Personally, I’d probably pick Tammy & Victor, both because I personally like them more and because I think their personalities are more likely to be distinct in our hypothetical season. But there’s no reason why we really need to have either team compete.

Dan & Jordan (Season 16)

There are a couple of cases you could make for casting Dan & Jordan for the all-winners season. You could argue that we need another underdog winner to go along with Amy & Maya, or maybe that they’re needed as a less-alpha all-male team. I leave them in this section because they’re a distinct winning team that could conceivably race again and wouldn’t blend in with any others.

However, I don’t think it would be worth it to include them on the season, simply because of the controversy it would reawaken. Any return of Dan & Jordan would inevitably lead to a discussion of how they beat Jet & Cord in the final leg, and that discussion was done to death back in the day. Dan & Jordan weren’t popular winners amongst most fans, and they don’t have any big draw as characters, so I think it would be best to just leave that old debate to rest, and not revive it.

Kisha & Jen (Season 18)

I’ve nothing against Kisha & Jen, or their victory in Unfinished Business (well, other than the fact that they beat Gary & Mallory). They’re a solid, inoffensive team, and would make a decent, inoffensive addition to the cast of our all-winners season (as well as adding the third all-female team to appease all those who care about such a thing). But at the same time, I feel like Kisha & Jen are really not a team who needs to race for a third time. They’re just… not interesting enough. You could make the case that with teams like Rob & Brennan, Meghan & Cheyne, Nat & Kat, and some other potential teams I’ll throw out, we already have some neutral teams in the mix, so what’s the harm of adding Kisha & Jen to it? I really can’t make a good rebuttal to that argument other than weakly stating that Kisha & Jen feel even more neutral.

They may well be a solid casting choice, which is why I have them at this tier, but something in me really doesn’t want to include them on my final castlist.

Ernie & Cindy (Season 19)

Probably one of the most distinct ‘young couple’ winners in the show’s history. Ernie & Cindy were even seen on the Race itself fairly recently, when they made a cameo in the Season 29 finale. They’re probably about at the top of my list for this group of teams… but at the same time, they weren’t that distinct to me, another case of a not-that-well-remembered win, and so I don’t think they’re a necessary part of the all-winners cast. I would probably put them on though.

Bates & Anthony (Season 22)

Bates & Anthony would primarily appeal as a team to include on our hypothetical cast if you wanted to add another all-male team, or else a likable, easy-going team. I think they could be decently competitive as long as injuries from their hockey careers haven’t caught up to them since Season 22, and they wouldn’t be a bad addition to the cast in any any case. But like many of the teams in this section, there’s no strong reason why they really should be on the cast.

Dave & Connor (Season 24)

Uh oh – here comes another team that some online fans would be incensed to see return! As characters, Dave & Connor would not make for the best choice to include on this season – it’s been well established that they’re not made-for-television personalities, and they annoyed legions of online fans to no end when they last appeared. But from a competitive standpoint, I would count Dave & Connor as a good addition to the season, provided that Dave could still keep up with the competition. That’s the big question mark for this team – much like Chip & Kim, Dave’s in his sixties and it’s been quite a few years since he last raced, leaving it uncertain if he’d be able to still compete at all.

If he could, then I think there’s a decent case to include them on this season based on the fact that they had one of those particularly dominant winning runs on All-Stars 2. Now, granted, they weren’t exactly up against the stiffest competition, but they still ran the table on the season, were never that weak, won half the legs, and all this after a very strong start to Season 22 before they had to quit due to Dave’s ruptured Achilles. There is, again, the caveat that we know that they won’t be the most interesting characters – but let’s face it, a lot of more casual fans most likely loved them and will be wanting to root for them from the beginning. They’re a distinct winning team, easily recognizable, and put on one of the strongest winning performances, and I personally think that’s reason enough to include them in our all-winners season – if Dave was up to the task.

Kelsey & Joey (Season 27)

Kelsey & Joey are another one of those young couples that works well together and does fairly well on the whole, but doesn’t have a lot else of interest going for them. So why do they make it to the “maybe” list when other such teams don’t? Mostly because they’re the most recent such team. Their win is still recent enough that they may carry some recognition, another similar team hasn’t come by to overshadow them yet, and so I keep them in casting’s back pocket as a potential option to fill out the roster. Most likely, though, they’re a bit too similar to Meghan & Cheyne and would be better left out of the season.

Cody & Jessica (Season 30)

This is probably a team that CBS would want to cast if they did an all-winners season right now – a crossover team, but also one that actually found success and won their season. Certainly a return by them would cause a lot of uproar among the fanbase, just like when Brendon & Rachel returned for All-Stars 2…

Potential social media shenanigans aside, I don’t see any compelling reason why Cody & Jessica shouldn’t be on the all-winners season. But I also don’t see any compelling reason why they should. So here they go, squarely in the middle. Until my rewatch of Season 30, they remain ever-neutral in my assessments…

Teams I Would Definitely Not Cast

And then there are those winning teams that, for one reason or another, I definitely don’t think have a place in the cast of a hypothetical all-winners season. For the sake of completeness, I’ll go over all of them and quickly state why…

Reichen & Chip (Season 4)

They might have been the first gay winners of the Race, but they also had split up by the time their finale aired over 15 years ago. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I exclude couples that have split since their victory from consideration for this hypothetical season.

Freddy & Kendra (Season 6)

In addition to being guaranteed to be an unpopular choice among those who remember them, Freddy & Kendra divorced quite some time ago, and thus would not be a feasible choice.

Uchenna & Joyce (Season 7)

I’ve recently written the praises of Uchenna & Joyce in Season 7. They’re probably my favorite winners after BJ & Tyler, and quite possibly the best overall winners in series history… but they did divorce after returning for the original All-Stars. I think that bringing them in particular back to the Race after that would be more sad than anything else – an on-screen reminder of the fact that their amazing storyline couldn’t stick in real life. Even if they would be willing to race together again, I don’t think it would be worth it.

Linz Family (Season 8)

Believe it or not, at least some of the Linzes were reportedly contacted about potentially participating in Season 31! In some circumstances, bringing two of the Linz siblings back as a team for a returnee season could work out decently well. But for an all-winners season? I just don’t think it would feel right to split them up like that.

Tyler & James (Season 10)

This is a case where I exclude a team from consideration simply because they don’t have anything good to offer to the all-winners season. Tyler & James are an utterly indistinct team that was likable enough, but completely unremarkable and doubtless forgotten by most fans nowadays. I don’t think they’d make for an interesting returnee team, even for this season, and I couldn’t justify putting them in over other teams that would be far more likely to be hits.

Eric & Danielle (Season 11)

Aside from their win being somewhat controversial and rather unpopular among many fans… they had broken up by the time their victory aired, and reportedly even before they raced. They were a gimmick for the original All-Stars, probably shouldn’t have been a team for that, and certainly shouldn’t be on our all-winners season.

TK & Rachel (Season 12)

I’ve mentioned the young successful couples before, and here’s the first case of one of those teams that just doesn’t have anything that stands out about them and so drops out of consideration. TK & Rachel’s calm demeanor could maybe serve as an interesting contrast to some other teams on our season, but that’s a long shot with not that much payoff. They’re just too interchangeable with other former winners to be a good casting choice. Also, I’ve heard that they split later on…

Rachel & Dave (Season 20)

They hold the all-time record for legs won in a season, at eight. They put on unquestionably the most dominant performance from a winning team, only faltering in the third leg. Their dominance would make them locks for this cast… except that they divorced afterwards. It seems highly unlikely that they’d want to race together again, or that it would go well if they did. And so real life gets in the way…

Josh & Brent (Season 21)

The other big underdog winners along with Dan & Jordan and Amy & Maya, Josh & Brent are a team that I just don’t think could be viable contenders. They already struggled along at the back of the pack throughout Season 21, only making it through to the end and winning thanks to several fortunate circumstances, and now they’re over seven years older when they weren’t young to begin with. I don’t think they have the ability to compete with the other winners, nor are they that interesting aside from their underdog victory.

Jason & Amy (Season 23)

Another young, successful couple without anything standing out to recommend them as a casting choice, they might be viable enough contenders but I don’t think they’re worth using up a slot.

Tyler & Laura (Season 26)

A couple of years earlier, Tyler & Laura might have been solid contenders for one of these slots. But Season 26 is now long enough ago that they likely wouldn’t hold any more recognition, they’re mostly another young successful couple without much that really stands out about them, and their one ‘hook’ – being a team that didn’t know each other before they started their victorious season – is already used on Brooke & Scott, who make for a much more interesting casting choice. I don’t think that Tyler & Laura have a place in our cast.

Dana & Matt (Season 28)

They have broken up since their victory, and when we already have a recent unpopular winning team in Brooke & Scott, would we really need the other one as well?

Conclusion: My Final Cast

With all that discussion out of the way, here is the cast that I would submit if The Amazing Race was to do an all-winners season in the immediate future:

-Rob & Brennan

-Flo & Zach

-Chip & Kim

-BJ & Tyler

-Meghan & Cheyne

-Nat & Kat

-Ernie & Cindy

-Dave & Connor

-Amy & Maya

-Brooke & Scott

-Colin & Christie

Alternates:

-Bates & Anthony if Dave & Connor were unable to compete.

-Tammy & Victor if Chip & Kim were unable to compete.

-Chris & Alex if one of the other teams pre-14 was unable to compete.

-Cody & Jessica if any of the other teams was unable to compete.

Of course, this is all purely hypothetical, and I highly doubt that there ever will be an all-winners The Amazing Race. But it was fun to go over it in theory!
