Should they allow previous winners in the allstar version of The Amazing Race?

There's one team in the allstar version that has won the race before. And I really like the team. One of my favourites to be in the allstars
However, I'm wondering - is it really fair to let those who have won already participate again? What do you think?

If they are doing an all-star Amazing Race I don't see why winners shouldn't be included. Other shows like Survivor had winners on their all-star show. The winners ended up getting targeted on that show. Are you talking about Uchenna and Joyce? I was a big fan of them on their season. I was so happy when they won. (I still can't believe she shaved her head.. that woman will do whatever it takes to win.) Plus, they were such a nice couple and played a honest game.
Personally, I wish they wouldn't do all-star shows. They are always kind of boring in comparison to if they had all new people. I really don't need to see Rob and Amber on another reality show.

I would prefer a non all-star version myself as well, but I'll take what I can get. As long as it's not another family edition!
And I adored Uchenna and Joyce too, which is why if there is a winning team back I'm glad it's them - I just wonder if it will give them an edge, or if it'll do the reverse (and people will be gunning for them because of that).

I think people would try to target them.. but it is a bit harder on a show like Amazing Race to target people. It isn't like Survivor where you can ban togther to vote someone off the show. They do have the Yield though. If that is on an early episode they could be a target. I think someone like Rob and Amber might be targeted first though. They usually distance themselves from the other teams and they really weren't liked on their season.

I think both they and Rob & Amber will be the big "targets" in this race....watch out for the yields!!
But to answer the OP, I don't think it's fair for previous winners to be in an all-star. Give somebody else a chance to win the money! Not to mention, Rob & Amber already won the mil from survivor (well, technically Amber, but c'mon)...

I think all-stars should be either/or. Meaning either ALL winners from previous shows OR faves who did not win. That would make it more equal. If they all have $1m then the fight is for the 2nd Mil. If they all "just missed" getting a grand their first time around, then they're all fighting for that first million again.
