Although it have been speculated since mid October that Joey & Meghan would be racing for a secon d time, It was official announced on January 27, 2014 that they would indeed be racing again. In the first l

All Stars Intro Cap

eg they started at UCLA in Los Angeles, CA. in their first challenge they had to shearch through several of UCLA Bruin M arching Band members with a Chinese symbol on their Shako, which was displayed on the band conductors' Shako. Once they brought the correct band member with the correct symbol they were given tickets to their next destinati on which was them going to Guangzhou,China. In Guangzhou, teams went to its wedding boutique district on Jiangnan Avenue North, and searched for one of three boutiques that had their next clue. Each store had a limited number of clues, forcing teams to travel to the others if they ran out. Joey did the first Road Block of this season which was to dress in a special costume and while suspended 300 feet (91 m) in the air by wires from the stadium's towers, perform 5 aerial somersaults. Once complete, the wiremaster would award them their next clue. Joey & Meghan barley escaped elimination and came in 10th place for that leg.

Joey & Meghan are eliminated from the race in 9th place.

At the start of the second leg, due to some teams receving time credit due to prouction difficulties, Joey and Meghan started the leg in 8th place instead of their oginial starting place which was 10th. When they left they were told that they had to go to the Chen Clan Academy, where they had to watch a demonstration of martial arts students. At the end the "master" would approch the teams and stamp their next clue on their forehead. Meghan did the roadblock for this leg which was to assemble a child's motorized car from a provided kit. Once the car was finished, the judge would give them their next clue. Once given their next clue, teams had to donate the car they just built to The Guangzhou Children's Activity Center, where they would recieve their next clue. In the detour Joey & Meghan had a choice to either play a game of jianzi (a game similar to hackeysack but you use a shuttlecock instead of a ball) and once the teammates succesfully volleyed the shuttlecock 10 combined times they would recieve their next clue. The second option was to get a traditional involving cupping therapy . Joey & Meghan chose to do the game of jianzi. At the end they came in 9th place, again barley escaping elimination

They were eliminated in leg 3 after having trouble trying to find a taxi.

Kickstarter : Storytellers

STORYTELLERS is Skins meets Are You Afraid of the Dark? – the summer before they leave for college, a group of unlikely friends gathers around a campfire to tell scary stories, and what begins as joking fun grows steadily more frightening. As the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, our group of storytellers ultimately discover more than they bargained for about their world...and each other. Part coming-of-age story and part episodic horror series with plenty of light touches of comedy, STORYTELLERS plays with familiar tropes and archetypes in fresh, unexpected ways. Following a Skins-esque format, the series will have seven episodes, with each of the first six centering around a specific member of the group, leading up to a final episode bringing all of them—and their stories—together. As July 10th, 2013 the Kickstarter reached its goal and surpassed it by 40,000. Overall, the total is a little over $140,000. However, Joey announced in a vlog on July 11th, 2013 that there were difficulties receiving all of the money from the Kickstarter. He then started an Indie Go Go page to get the remaining money needed, in which he did. Filming lasted between late September to mid October & the series was released from December 22nd, 2013 - January 18th, 2014. Joey has plans to do a season 2, but as of now, there is no information on if filmimg will be taken place
