Aired summer 2006 · The first returnee cast

All-Stars

The first all-star season, and a piece of franchise lore. Fourteen returning players, cast by public vote across the first six seasons, walk back into Studio City with six years of accumulated context. The casting holds up — these are the players the early run is remembered for, slotted into a single ensemble. Every move carries seasons of prior text. The show would try the all-star format again, but the novelty of this first attempt is what makes it canonical.
