User:Pikalin38/Fictional Ben and Toad's Contest 7

Season 7 of Ben and Toad's Contest will start on September 19, 2015. This season will have 64 (32 male and 32 female), and ten athletes from either the 2015 Pan American or Parapan American Games in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (the contestants cannot be Alexandra Raisman or Gabrielle Douglas), as the men and women are from North and South America. BATC announced after the Milwaukee 2015 race that there will be no contestants from at the 2015 Pan American Games.

BATC confirmed that Len Goodman will not be a BATC judge for season 7. This will be the third consecutive time (starting with season five) that Goodman isn't on BATC's judges list. Former contestant Olga Vilukhina; who competed on the sixth season; will replace Corinna Boccacini as a judge after Boccacini was fined from Lap 166 at the 2015 ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway.

If the 2015 IndyCar season runs into BATC7, a contestant from the season is most likely getting replaced.

They need to be born before July 1, 2000 in their place of birth. If Chloe Kim is born in 2000 before July 1, she will be a contestant. Serafima Sakhanovich and Alexandra Proklova meet the minimum age for this season. For the seniors event on season 7, they need to be born before July 1, 1975 (e.g. Jasey-Jay Anderson, Danica McKellar, Marieke Wijsman; and Juan Pablo Montoya is ineligible due to his September 1975 birth). The junior grand prix is for those who are born before July 1, 2002 (e.g. Davis Cleveland).

This will be the first season that Donald Trump doesn't do the BATC firing; because he was fired from the Apprentice. It will be done by former contestant Tomoka Takeuchi instead.

Review
All DWTS Season 20 and 21 contestants will be added to this season. The all-stars week 1 looked like it was the Fontana Last Laps (Laps 220-250). Last year's fall season saw not a good start for most of the national teams. It was well for the Germans, who were trying to rebound from their losses in Mid-Ohio and Fontana.

In the 2015 Indy 500 weekend, May 23-24, it was announced that the men's team will be and the women's team to be.

The first results show of season 7 will air on September 20, 2015 and the opening ceremony will be held on September 19, taking place in Chicago. The opening ceremony was supposted to be held in Ottawa, but Jeralean Talley's death meant that it would be moved again. Five IndyCar contenders will not attend the NASCAR race; but the names were determined to be: Australia, Germany, Colombia, Ukraine and France. That day, teams are asked to go to NASCAR for the race at Chicagoland Speedway, but the results are marred due to Montoya's 40th birthday. Russia will fail to qualify for the September 20 list of Today's Birthdays if Colombia makes the list and says "Race Car Driver Colombia is 40".

Also on the opening ceremony, teams will check the "September 20 Birthdays list" to see if countries qualify. Nominated choices for the birthday list include Juan Pablo Montoya by the German national team; one of IndyCar's most successful countries participating, and Namie Amuro by the South Korean national team.

Due to Maria Sharapova's withdrawal from the US Open, there could be likely a high chance for Simona Halep replacing her as a lucky loser. The main focus for season 7 will be Euro 2016. There will be the main draw and the end of qualifying.

Contestants
There will be 64 contestants; but the number of contestants was extended from 48 to 64 because of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. Before the start of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, six contestants signed on. Keisuke Honda (who was on Japan's team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup), Tara Lipniski, Shaun White, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, Caroline Sunshine, Austin Butler and Marion Kreiner. They announced on the opening day of the 2014 FIFA World Cup that it will most likely have five men and five women, from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada. Peta Murgatroyd will be sidelined from BATC season seven, citing injury as the reason. Victoria Azarenka was announced as the last season seven contestant. The last male was decided between Takuma Sato and Roger Federer; but Takuma Sato shocked the world by winning against Federer by votes.

The contestants from Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 20) and Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 21) will be part of the season 7 cast.

Two South Koreans, Kim Tae-Hee, and Sunmi, were announced on the closing laps of Fontana. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were announced two days later. The final four, chosen to be Maria Sharapova, Sean Berdy, Ryan Lane and Melanie Chisholm; were announced on Joan Rivers' death. Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Gerard Pique and Jackson Martinez were announced as the 5 FIFA World Cup 2014 contestants.

Kyah Simon was confirmed as a season 7 contestant after scoring that stunning goal in the Brazilian net in their knockout stage match at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Season 8 will air on February 6, 2016, the show announcer confirmed on June 12, 2015.

At the age of 15, Willow Shields will be the joint youngest contestant, sharing it with Bella Thorne, who competed at the age of 15 in season 3.

Simon Pagenaud was announced as one of the contestants on season 7 after making the Fast Six at Toronto for a record 7th time.

Seksan Sukmipai (also known as Sek Loso) was announced as a contestant after Jeralean Talley died at 116, just coming a month short of Poland's 116 years, 54 days.

Lindsey Vonn was announced as a contestant on June 27 on lap 136 of 250 due to the Germany crash.

Due to Justin Wilson's death almost a month before the season 7 opener and Juan Pablo Montoya's 40th birthday, Josef Newgarden, Marco Andretti, and Sebastien Bourdais will compete on BATC. Since Nick Carter was on the fourth edition of the show, Ueli Kestenholz; who was born on the same day as Helio Castroneves, was announced instead. The full cast (besides DWTS season 21) are announced at Sonoma on August 30, 2015 at 7 am PST.

The final man was announced to be between Colombian Carlos Munoz and American Jason Derulo. Munoz won the BATC season 7 spot by many votes despite his countryman Montoya leading IndyCar standings after Pocono.

Week 1: Opening Ceremony

 * Air date: September 19, 2015
 * Task Scope: BATC heads to New Castle Motorsport Park for the Dan Wheldon Memorial Go Karting Challenge. Teams will not head to Chicagoland Speedway for the NASCAR race; because of Turkey not participating at the Masters of Formula Three; they aren't participating for the first time since the Portugal-marred 1995 event. Germany; known notably as the "IndyCar favourites", whose driver is Will Power in 2016 and Helio Castroneves in 2015, will not participate in NASCAR as they will have to focus with the Colombian side featuring Montoya; for Montoya's 40th birthday celebration in some part of the United States.
 * Auto Club Protect Manager:
 * Sonoma Protect Manager:
 * Winning team: No team
 * Cause of loss: The rain interrupted much of the 2015 Dan Wheldon Memorial Go Karting Challenge Honouring Justin Wilson; it also postponed the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race to Saturday morning.

During the rain, Italy suggested a Helio Castroneves FIA Endurance World Championship testing.
 * Fired: The five lowest scoring men and women are voted off week 1. 10 contestants are sent home on Montoya's birthday, the biggest firing since Helio Castroneves' 40th birthday on May 10. That time, it was hosted by Germany the day after the Grand Prix of Indianapolis.
