In which we have thirteen seasons full of teams to sort through. If you remember back to the last time we ran a rumble (around season seven, IIRC), you were presented with sets of paired team match-ups, and had to decide which team in each match-up you liked better. This will be pretty much the same. To get everyone involved without any byes, there will be one three-team match-up in the first round, and the final two rounds (ie. from nine to three, and from three to one) will be conducted with threesomes as well. I'm presenting these in groups of eight match-ups, because otherwise this is going to take forever and a fortnight.

After each full round, I'm going to reshuffle the remaining teams so that this doesn't end up too predictable.

Just bold the team you're voting for, and provide a little explanation if you wish (though it's not compulsory).

Here's the first set (match-ups chosen at random by Microsoft Excel):

1. Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) vs. Weaver Family (TAR:FE) vs. Gary & Dave (TAR2)
2. Margie & Luke (TAR14) vs. Frank & Margarita (TAR1)
3. Marshall & Lance (TAR5) vs. Reichen & Chip (TAR4)
4. Andre & Damon (TAR3) vs. David & Mary (TAR10, TAR:AS)
5. Ari & Staella (TAR12) vs. Adam & Rebecca (TAR6)
6. Terence & Sarah (TAR13) vs. Steve & Josh (TAR4)
7. Debbie & Bianca (TAR7) vs. Meredith & Gretchen (TAR7)
8. Teri & Ian (TAR3, TAR:AS) vs. Marisa & Brooke (TAR13)

You've got one week to vote, and then we'll move on to the next set.

My votes:

1. Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) vs. Weaver Family (TAR:FE) vs. Gary & Dave (TAR2) - ...Because at least Dave was tolerable, unlike the other seven people in this match-up?

2. Margie & Luke (TAR14) vs. Frank & Margarita (TAR1) - Marge was awesome. Margie was... not.

3. Marshall & Lance (TAR5) vs. Reichen & Chip (TAR4) - Reichen and Chip won The Amazing Race, Marshall and Lance are also rans in the human race.

4. Andre & Damon (TAR3) vs. David & Mary (TAR10, TAR:AS) - God help me.

5. Ari & Staella (TAR12) vs. Adam & Rebecca (TAR6) - More as a "third vs. last" thing, admittedly, but Adam was somewhat endearing, and would be cute if it wasn't for the Hair Horns Of Hell. Ari just sucks donkey balls.

6. Terence & Sarah (TAR13) vs. Steve & Josh (TAR4) - Sarah is exactly the sort of person who knows the best way to win this show. Josh is exactly the sort of person who thinks they know the best way to win this show.

7. Debbie & Bianca (TAR7) vs. Meredith & Gretchen (TAR7) - What is this, International Death Is Not An Option Day? They lasted longer.

8. Teri & Ian (TAR3, TAR:AS) vs. Marisa & Brooke (TAR13) - Teri and Ian happen to be my favourite team in my favourite season. Marisa and Brooke ended up in a sucky season and weren't particularly great to begin with.

1. Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) vs. Weaver Family (TAR:FE) vs. Gary & Dave (TAR2) Well I did not see Season two but the other two teams are just horrible so I will go with the team I never saw.

2. Margie & Luke (TAR14) vs. Frank & Margarita (TAR1) Margie and Luke were my favorites until midway through the race and then I was sick of them. And Frank and Margarita were awsome in season one so there you go.

3. Marshall & Lance (TAR5) vs. Reichen & Chip (TAR4) I do not really like either team.

4. Andre & Damon (TAR3) vs. David & Mary (TAR10, TAR:AS) I have to go with team Red Neck as I did not see season three.

5. Ari & Staella (TAR12) vs. Adam & Rebecca (TAR6) Just because I remember Adam and Rebecca and I do not remember Ari and Stealla.

6. Terence & Sarah (TAR13) vs. Steve & Josh (TAR4) Drawing a blank on Steve and Josh so I will go with who I remember.

7. Debbie & Bianca (TAR7) vs. Meredith & Gretchen (TAR7) Got to go with the old folks.

8. Teri & Ian (TAR3, TAR:AS) vs. Marisa & Brooke (TAR13) Once again this is more of I remember Teri and Ian from All-Stars and I do not remember Marisa and Brooke

[graytex]

1. Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) vs. Weaver Family (TAR:FE) vs. Gary & Dave (TAR2) I didn't love them at the time but they've grown on me in retrospect.
2. Margie & Luke (TAR14) vs. Frank & Margarita (TAR1) Frank drove me crazy.
3. Marshall & Lance (TAR5) vs. Reichen & Chip (TAR4) Both teams - yuck.
4. Andre & Damon (TAR3) vs. David & Mary (TAR10, TAR:AS) For surviving the cab ride from hell.
5. Ari & Staella (TAR12) vs. Adam & Rebecca (TAR6) Because they never failed to entertain me.
6. Terence & Sarah (TAR13) vs. Steve & Josh (TAR4) Sarah is probably the sweetest racer of the last few seasons.
7. Debbie & Bianca (TAR7) vs. Meredith & Gretchen (TAR7) Even Rob was intimidated.
8. Teri & Ian (TAR3, TAR:AS) vs. Marisa & Brooke (TAR13) I love Marisa & Brooke but they were in an impossible matchup here.

[raceguy120390]

Thanks for the votes, you guys! I'm going to keep this round open until we get at least seven responses, because if we have any less it'll feel sorta pathetic given the frequent 20-something-vote rounds the last rumble got. And also because the spreadsheet's at home and I have no idea who's in the next group.

[raceguy120390]

Fuck it. Let's just move on, and hope we can pick up some more voters during the new season.

Round 1A Results:

1. Gary & Dave (TAR2) def. Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) and Weaver Family (TAR:FE) 3-0
2. Frank & Margarita (TAR1) def. Margie & Luke (TAR14) 2-1
3. Reichen & Chip (TAR4) def. Marshall & Lance (TAR5) 2-1
4. David & Mary (TAR10, TAR:AS) def. Andre & Damon (TAR3) 2-1
5. Adam & Rebecca (TAR6) def. Ari & Staella (TAR12) 3-0
6. Terence & Sarah (TAR13) def. Steve & Josh (TAR4) 3-0
7. Meredith & Gretchen (TAR7) def. Debbie & Bianca (TAR7) 2-1
8. Teri & Ian (TAR3, TAR:AS) def. Marisa & Brooke (TAR13) 3-0

No real surprises there, aside from the fact that all eight of my picks won. I thought I'd picked a couple of people who wouldn't win, just to stop them from losing every single vote. Huh.

Round 1B Matchups:

1. Tian & Jaree (TAR4) vs. Azaria & Hendekea (TAR12)
2. Joe & Bill (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Shana & Jennifer (TAR12)
3. Rob & Amber (TAR7, TAR:AS) vs. David & Jeff (TAR4)
4. Kami & Karli (TAR5) vs. Mary & Peach (TAR2)
5. Jon & Al (TAR4) vs. Paolo Family (TAR:FE)
6. Meredith & Maria (TAR6) vs. Linda & Steve (TAR14)
7. Erwin & Godwin (TAR10) vs. Paul & Amie (TAR1)
8. Lynn & Alex (TAR7) vs. Deirdre & Hillary (TAR2)

And my votes:

1. Tian & Jaree (TAR4) vs. Azaria & Hendekea (TAR12) - Because Tian & Jaree gave us, at least partially, the Roadblock Rule; while Azaria & Hendekea gave us a slew of phony-feeling brother-sister teams.

2. Joe & Bill (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Shana & Jennifer (TAR12) - Because come on.

3. Rob & Amber (TAR7, TAR:AS) vs. David & Jeff (TAR4) - Vote to avoid a whitewash.

4. Kami & Karli (TAR5) vs. Mary & Peach (TAR2) - Mary was awesome. Peach was awesome. The twin twits were not.

5. Jon & Al (TAR4) vs. Paolo Family (TAR:FE) - The clowns always came off as phony, but the Paolos arguing came off as genuine, something only one other arguing team has managed to achieve.

6. Meredith & Maria (TAR6) vs. Linda & Steve (TAR14) - Because both were adorably incompetent, but Meredith & Maria at least managed to be funny about it.

7. Erwin & Godwin (TAR10) vs. Paul & Amie (TAR1) - When the choice is between ethnic diversity in teams and knowing how to race, I'm going with the team that knows why they're here.

8. Lynn & Alex (TAR7) vs. Deirdre & Hillary (TAR2) - The saddest I've ever been at a first boot. Meanwhile, Lynn & Alex are one of my least favourite teams ever.

[BK1978]

Sorry raceguy, I did not see that you had updated this.

1. Tian & Jaree (TAR4) vs. Azaria & Hendekea (TAR12)

Tian & Jaree were on the first full season that I saw and I really do not remember Azaria & Hendekea all that well even though they have been on a more recent season.

2. Joe & Bill (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Shana & Jennifer (TAR12)

They were awsome in the first season, not so much when they came back from All-Stars but I will still stick with them.

3. Rob & Amber (TAR7, TAR:AS) vs. David & Jeff (TAR4)

I am going with team Who? because I wanted they finished a whole day behind the rest of the finals teams.

4. Kami & Karli (TAR5) vs. Mary & Peach (TAR2)

Sticking with who I know once again (I did not see season two) even though I really did not care about the twins either.

5. Jon & Al (TAR4) vs. Paolo Family (TAR:FE)

I really liked the clowns, the Paolo's I did not.

6. Meredith & Maria (TAR6) vs. Linda & Steve (TAR14)

Once again even though I saw season six I do not remember Meredith and Maria. I do remember Linda and Steve and that is the reason for my vote.

7. Erwin & Godwin (TAR10) vs. Paul & Amie (TAR1)

I agree with raceguy (Which does not happen all that often! lol Coach Ben Wade rules!), Erwin and Godwin did not know what they were doing they raced a bad race. While Paul and Amie did know but they just could not get it done.

8. Lynn & Alex (TAR7) vs. Deirdre & Hillary (TAR2)

Even though I did not see Season 2, I am going with Deirdre and Hillary because I really dislike Lynn and Alex. I think they are the team that I disliked the most, well the Weaver family is neck and neck with them.

[graytex]

1. Tian & Jaree (TAR4) vs. Azaria & Hendekea (TAR12) - TAR4 is one of the least popular seasons ever, but Tian was one of the strongest female competitors ever on TAR. And they survived the trains in India. I don't believe we've ever seen the teams on a train in India since.
2. Joe & Bill (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Shana & Jennifer (TAR12) - No contest. They're iconic.
3. Rob & Amber (TAR7, TAR:AS) vs. David & Jeff (TAR4) - Showing love for the Whos.
4. Kami & Karli (TAR5) vs. Mary & Peach (TAR2) - Kami & Karli brought the unintentional funny, but Mary & Peach in South Africa is one of my favorite TAR moments ever.
5. Jon & Al (TAR4) vs. Paolo Family (TAR:FE) - hmmm hammy or loud, which do I choose?
6. Meredith & Maria (TAR6) vs. Linda & Steve (TAR14)
7. Erwin & Godwin (TAR10) vs. Paul & Amie (TAR1)
8. Lynn & Alex (TAR7) vs. Deirdre & Hillary (TAR2) - One of the saddest first eliminations ever.

[raceguy120390]

Group 1B Results:

9. Tian & Jaree (TAR4) def. Azaria & Hendekea (TAR12) 3-0
10. Joe & Bill (TAR1, TAR:AS) def. Shana & Jennifer (TAR12) 3-0
11. David & Jeff (TAR4) def. Rob & Amber (TAR7, TAR:AS) 3-0
12. Mary & Peach (TAR2) def. Kami & Karli (TAR5) 2-1
13. Jon & Al (TAR4) def. Paolo Family (TAR:FE) 2-1
14. Meredith & Maria (TAR6) def. Linda & Steve (TAR14) 3-0
15. Paul & Amie (TAR1) def. Erwin & Godwin (TAR10) 3-0
16. Deirdre & Hillary (TAR2) def. Lynn & Alex (TAR7) 3-0

Well, that was a close round. Snerk. I'm not sure what's more surprising to me -- the fact that Romber are out in the first round, or the fact that they didn't get a single vote!

Group 1C Match-ups:

17. Kevin & Drew (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Derek & Drew (TAR3)
18. Peter & Sarah (TAR10) vs. Kisha & Jen (TAR14)
19. Shola & Doyin (TAR2) vs. Rob & Kimberley (TAR10)
20. Eric & Jeremy (TAR9) vs. Danielle & Dani (TAR9)
21. Gus & Hera (TAR6) vs. Schroeder Family (TAR:FE)
22. Charla & Mirna (TAR5, TAR:AS) vs. Nick & Starr (TAR13)
23. Millie & Chuck (TAR4) vs. Lorena & Jason (TAR12)
24. Mark & Bill (TAR13) vs. Ken & Gerard (TAR3)

This is going to be an interesting group for so many reasons -- Kevin & Drew won the last Rumble, and Drew won the individual racer Rumble, but both of them were before their All-Star suckiness, and they've got a tough draw againt the twins. Eric vs. Danielle also promises to be interesting, especially since they aren't going to be represented as a single team in this Rumble (mainly because I forgot, but also? It's not like they stood a chance of winning).

I'm gonna need some time to think about it. My votes later.

...Or, you know, right now.

17. Kevin & Drew (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Derek & Drew (TAR3) - I was never a fan of the Frats, even before All-Stars. Plus, it's time to let someone else win a game.

18. Peter & Sarah (TAR10) vs. Kisha & Jen (TAR14) - Probably the most capable all-female team we've ever had, surprisingly enough.

19. Shola & Doyin (TAR2) vs. Rob & Kimberley (TAR10) - Because they seemed pretty cool.

20. Eric & Jeremy (TAR9) vs. Danielle & Dani (TAR9) - Because the girls sucked.

21. Gus & Hera (TAR6) vs. Schroeder Family (TAR:FE) - Hmmm. In each, the daughter was the only one with any idea about how to race. In each, the dad tried to hard to be fun and cool. But still, I was only hoping for one of them to be saved by a non-elimination.

22. Charla & Mirna (TAR5, TAR:AS) vs. Nick & Starr (TAR13) - They probably won't ever get another vote from me, but consider this their reward for taking on the Antichrist.

23. Millie & Chuck (TAR4) vs. Lorena & Jason (TAR12) - Jason reminded me of David Spade, and that is never a good thing -- especially when you're the tolerable one on your team.

24. Mark & Bill (TAR13) vs. Ken & Gerard (TAR3) - Because Ken & Gerard will probably win, and they deserve to. Even the idea of punting still brings tears of laughter to my eyes, seven years later.

Raceguy - I think you have the Romber results wrong. Looks like it should be the Whos.

17. Kevin & Drew (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Derek & Drew (TAR3) - I'll sorta forgive them for AS and the twins bored me.
18. Peter & Sarah (TAR10) vs. Kisha & Jen (TAR14) - A team I grew to like. Peter and Sarah grated on me.
19. Shola & Doyin (TAR2) vs. Rob & Kimberley (TAR10) - For the tomatoes alone.
20. Eric & Jeremy (TAR9) vs. Danielle & Dani (TAR9) - The girls sucked. The guys were the biggest tools of all time.
21. Gus & Hera (TAR6) vs. Schroeder Family (TAR:FE) - Schroeders may be my least favorite team of all time.
22. Charla & Mirna (TAR5, TAR:AS) vs. Nick & Starr (TAR13) - Nick & Starr just kinda bored me.
23. Millie & Chuck (TAR4) vs. Lorena & Jason (TAR12) - I'm one of those weird fans of Millie
24. Mark & Bill (TAR13) vs. Ken & Gerard (TAR3) - Gotta love them.

[BermyTryangle]

17. Kevin & Drew (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Derek & Drew (TAR3) - twins bored me too, Frats never bored me
18. Peter & Sarah (TAR10) vs. Kisha & Jen (TAR14) - pretty much what graytex said :-)
19. Shola & Doyin (TAR2) vs. Rob & Kimberley (TAR10) - no reason, this set however was pretty likeable
20. Eric & Jeremy (TAR9) vs. Danielle & Dani (TAR9) - kind of a bleh on both counts, actually
21. Gus & Hera (TAR6) vs. Schroeder Family (TAR:FE) - Hera's striking eyes continue to allure
22. Charla & Mirna (TAR5, TAR:AS) vs. Nick & Starr (TAR13) - weird thing is that I liked Mirna more than Charla, and can't explain why
23. Millie & Chuck (TAR4) vs. Lorena & Jason (TAR12) - more about poor Chuck than anything
24. Mark & Bill (TAR13) vs. Ken & Gerard (TAR3) - maybe my favourite set of brothers

[BK1978]

17. Kevin & Drew (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Derek & Drew (TAR3)

I did not see season three (well I saw the last episode) so I have to go with Kevin and Drew because they were awsome in season one and less so on All-Stars.

18. Peter & Sarah (TAR10) vs. Kisha & Jen (TAR14)

They should have been in the final three.

19. Shola & Doyin (TAR2) vs. Rob & Kimberley (TAR10)

I did not see any of season two, so I will have to stick with a team from the seasons that I saw. That beign said I do not remember Rob or Kimberley at all despite the fact that they finished in second place.

20. Eric & Jeremy (TAR9) vs. Danielle & Dani (TAR9)

Bermy and Graytex hit the nail on the head both teams suck but I will go with the good looking girls.

21. Gus & Hera (TAR6) vs. Schroeder Family (TAR:FE)

Pretty much what Bermy said, I still remember her beautiful eyes and she was beautiful as well. And I remember he father seemed cool as well.

22. Charla & Mirna (TAR5, TAR:AS) vs. Nick & Starr (TAR13)

Oh I can not stand either team! There is no winners in this vote, but Nick and Starr did win so they get my vote.

23. Millie & Chuck (TAR4) vs. Lorena & Jason (TAR12)

Another matchup where I am not a fan of either team. So I will go with Millie the mole.

24. Mark & Bill (TAR13) vs. Ken & Gerard (TAR3)

This vote is not out of spite, I have heard of the awsomeness of Ken and Gerard. However, I did not see it first hand so I will go with the team that I know.

[raceguy120390]

Raceguy - I think you have the Romber results wrong. Looks like it should be the Whos.

Duly noted.

[Lamb18]

17. Kevin & Drew (TAR1, TAR:AS) vs. Derek & Drew (TAR3) - Kevin and Drew - among the best of the TAR good guys
18. Peter & Sarah (TAR10) vs. Kisha & Jen (TAR14) - I haven't seen S10 but I read the recaps. Kisha and Jen average out to be a much more competent team.
19. Shola & Doyin (TAR2) vs. Rob & Kimberley (TAR10) - have not seen S10. Shola and Doyin were definite good guys.
20. Eric & Jeremy (TAR9) vs. Danielle & Dani (TAR9) - have not seen S9, so I'll go with my gender.
21. Gus & Hera (TAR6) vs. Schroeder Family (TAR:FE) - I think any team from any season would be better than a TAR 8 team, except for the one with the boy and girl--Gaghans?
22. Charla & Mirna (TAR5, TAR:AS) vs. Nick & Starr (TAR13) - Charla's OK, but Mirna stank. I first started watching during season 13 and cheered for Nick and Starr to win.
23. Millie & Chuck (TAR4) vs. Lorena & Jason (TAR12)
24. Mark & Bill (TAR13) vs. Ken & Gerard (TAR3) - Ken and Gerard is one of the main reasons why TAR 3 is so good.

[BK1978]

I find it weird that I remember people from the older seasons but I can not remember people from the more current seasons.

25. Brandon & Nicole (TAR5) vs. Tom & Terry (TAR10)

Because even though Tom and Terry were on a more recent season I can not remember them. While even though I disliked Brandon and Nicole, at least I still remember them.

26. Bransen Family (TAR:FE) vs. Ronald & Christina (TAR12)

This is tough as I wanted both of these teams to win their respective seasons. However, season eight sucked so Ronald and Christina get the nod.

27. Christie & Jodi (TAR14) vs. Debra & Steve (TAR4)

They were on the first whole season that I saw and I remember wishing that they were not the first team to go.

28. Flo & Zach (TAR3) vs. Fran & Barry (TAR9)

I know who Flo and Zach are but I did not see season three so Fran and Barry get my vote.

29. Lisa & Joni (TAR9) vs. Ron & Kelly (TAR7)

Wow I can not remember Lisa and Joni at all! I do remember Ron and Kelly so they get my vote.

30. Pat & Brenda (TAR1) vs. Aaron & Arianne (TAR3)

I did see season 1 via DVD (I wish they would put out seasons two and three) but I had to use wikipedia to find out who they were. Even so Pat and Brenda get my vote.

31. Marianna & Julia (TAR12) vs. Mark & Michael (TAR14)

Had to go with the dumb brothers.

32. Tramel & Talicia (TAR3) vs. Anthony & Stephanie (TAR13)

[raceguy120390]

I find it weird that I remember people from the older seasons but I can not remember people from the more current seasons.

Yeah, when I was looking through the list I was like, "There was an Anthony and Stephanie? Aja and Ty whoooo?"

[graytex]

25. Brandon & Nicole (TAR5) vs. Tom & Terry (TAR10) - I actually kinda liked Brandon & Nicole, but last time I rewatched TAR5 they really grated on me. They do not get better with time.
26. Bransen Family (TAR:FE) vs. Ronald & Christina (TAR12) - Just because.
27. Christie & Jodi (TAR14) vs. Debra & Steve (TAR4) - I liked the flight attendants. Debra & Steve seemed like lovely people who should have never been on the race. They were cannon fodder.
28. Flo & Zach (TAR3) vs. Fran & Barry (TAR9) - Because Flo & Zach are iconic. Fran & Berry just annoyed.
29. Lisa & Joni (TAR9) vs. Ron & Kelly (TAR7) - Over time I came to really like Kelly, even though I know many didn't.
30. Pat & Brenda (TAR1) vs. Aaron & Arianne (TAR3) - Very few teams annoyed me like Aaron & Arianne.
31. Marianna & Julia (TAR12) vs. Mark & Michael (TAR14) - Yuck to the Tweedles.
32. Tramel & Talicia (TAR3) vs. Anthony & Stephanie (TAR13) - Fun sibling team vs sour dating team

Only one tough decision there for me. In the end, I decided that three episodes of Russhole and Cindy annoying me on screen wasn't as bad as one episode of Erika annoying me on screen and eight or nine seasons, whatever she's up to now, of annoying me with poor casting.

41. Dan & Andrew (TAR13) vs. Kris & Jon (TAR6)
42. Dennis & Erika (TAR5) vs. Russell & Cindy (TAR4) - I agree completely raceguy. Dennis & Erika were also completely forgettable.
43. Duke & Lauren (TAR10) vs. Ken & Tina (TAR13) - Wow, this is a tough matchup for me. I liked both teams a lot.
44. Monica & Sheree (TAR4) vs. Mel & Mike (TAR14)
45. Kris & Amanda (TAR14) vs. Steve & Dave (TAR4) - Cussed their ways into my heart.

48. Tara & Wil (TAR2) vs. Toni & Dallas (TAR13) - I probably should be analyzed to figure out why I like Tara & Wil and hate them so much as well.

41. Dan & Andrew (TAR13) vs. Kris & Jon (TAR6)

Kris is one of the best looking women ever on reality television so she gets my vote just for that.

Wow, that's a lot of TAR9 teams. Ugh. Votes:

63. Lake & Michelle (TAR9) vs. BJ & Tyler (TAR9)
64. Ryan & Chuck (TAR7) vs. Lori & Bolo (TAR6)

Mostly easy decisions again. Kynt & Vyxsin bored me after a while. I would have liked to have seen more of Megan & Heidi in their season, especially in place of who we we wound up with, but Vipul comes with his own rhyme! How can you not vote for that? I would vote for a special four-person team made up of Hitler, Stalin, Fairplay, and TAR6 Jonathan before I would vote for the Hippies.

57. Blake & Paige (TAR2) vs. Joseph & Monica (TAR 9) - Wow...tough one. I liked both of these teams. I like Joseph & Monica because most of the rest of TAR9 sucked.
58. Kynt & Vyxsin (TAR12) vs. Oswald & Danny (TAR2, TAR:AS) - I wasn't in love with Kynt & Vyxsin but I never was as crazy over Cha as everyone else seemed to be.

Danny and Oswald were awsome on All-Stars I only wished I saw them on season 2.

Wow season nine truly did suck looking at the list of players that were on it.
