Well, it looks like All Stars may be taking a turn for the worse. Spoiler account Gamer is reporting that production has been sending out contracts for season 5, and some of the competitors will be people who are very new to the franchise.
Specifically, people from CBS and international shows will be in the mix — like people who entered the franchise on Double Agents or later.
Some rumored names are Colleen, Emanuel, Nam, and Berna. No one is confirmed yet, and those names may just be floating around to give fans an idea of who’s in the casting pool.
Gamer also stated the show will film in Vietnam in May, very shortly after Season 40 is done with production. So, it’s likely All Stars 5 will be filmed in the same location as the flagship show.
While this is unwelcome news for many fans, we saw the change brewing with the addition of Kam on All Stars 4. Even though many fans like her, she does deviate from the original “OG” format Mark proposed in 2020.
Gamer has also mentioned that these people will not be the entirety of the cast, and there will be some long-awaited returns. But, the general consensus has been very negative. Not only does this destroy the premise of All Stars, it blurs the lines between the flagship show and the spinoff series.
Of course, these are just first impressions. There could be a reason that new people are in the mix, and I won’t completely dismiss the potential for a cool format that requires newer people to participate. But, it’s really hard to get excited for the next installment when it’s diminishing the element that made All Stars exciting in the first place.
Receipts:
Stop Being Polite 
I find it hard to believe that they can’t find enough OG’s to be on the show. They need to ask everyone that has been on the old Challenges before they start with newer people or ones from other shows. That’s what makes All Stars the best. I want old school challengers not new ones.
Production needs a complete overhaul. They are the most delusional out of touch group of people on the planet.
Why Nam…?
