Amazing Race 29 casting teams of strangers, but not blind dates
For the 29th season of The Amazing Race, I’ve learned that casting producers have been searching for some single people who will be paired with random strangers, but not as blind dates.
Five of the 11 teams on TAR 26 were blind date couples created by the producers; the rest of the cast were pre-existing couples. Amazing Race is currently casting for couples who know each other, so this may be another season that has some teams of people with pre-existing relationships, and some teams formed to create drama.
The show’s official casting web site says:
“We are looking for TEAMS of TWO – all types of relationships (does NOT have to be a dating couple) AND SINGLES (ready for the blind date of a lifetime!)”
But some in the casting process were told explicitly they were not being cast for “the blind date of a lifetime,” but instead would be matched with a non-romantic partner.
For example, and I’m making these up, a grandmother might be paired with a college student, or a lesbian with a straight man.
Finals casting is scheduled for March, and of course, a cast is always in flux until it’s locked. The composition of the cast may change, and it’s possible they will abandon this particular type of pairing, or double-down on it. Either way, it’s again shifting from The Amazing Race‘s original concept of casting teams of people who already had some kind of relationship.
I’m told that the show took preliminary cast to network executives last week, and the show will be filmed in July.

One of the problems historically from the beginning has been finding teams of two with some sort of pre-existing relationship that can afford the time off to film a season. While the main time period has been cut by a week, there's still the need for time off during the casting phase and the need for time off if cast, for media in the week or two of the premiere, elimination and the finale. Hence, the need for these casting variations which may or may not work.
I'm not sure casting an entire group of strangers is necessarily a good idea; testing a relationship has always been part of the show, but I have to wonder if this was prompted by the fact that the blind dating teams ended up as a grup doing better than the dating teams in season 27.
At this point I 'd happily like having a season of celebrities with a co-worker, family member, mentors, and significant others, all pre-existing, and with no concessions to lifestyles of the famous. First, I bet a lot of them would be willing to do it,, just to prove they can, and second, if cast correctly, upi'll find a lot of celes who actually are real people. It'd be better than a cast of 22 strangers.

This is what I don't like about the idea :(
And season 26 turned out to be quite great, but still I'd rather see a regular season with an ordinary cast.
All of this reminds me of the era when Survivor would always use returnees to a certain degree in almost every season (S20-27) and people were complaining (both casuals and not) about the lack of full-newbie seasons. Now I feel a similar way about TAR.
-
a lesbian with a straight man.
:hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
-
I will say that this information is accurate as far as I know, in that I also heard "blind" teams last month.
A "Finals" was held in LA the first week of Feb I believe.
I heard something slightly different on the casting though. What I heard was not as random as what Andy was apparently told. My info suggested more of a season of teams who did not know each other previously, not "blind daters", but people who perhaps at least had something in common. For example only, perhaps a team of law enforcement (Police +Firefighter?), a military team (Army +Navy?), a sports team (football vs baseball), etc. There could be dozens of variations.
Sigh.
-
Does This mean S29 is confirmed or are we still not sure whether it will continue?
-
Could be a bit chaotic but I think it's something that would be interesting.

Filming in July :o per the article. :o Interesting
I'm thinking they would do 1ff 1mm and 1mf team resulting from the singletons not the whole cast but it is definitely an interesting concept

July? Sounds interesting. Maybe there could be a chance for mid/late-June film start as the summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
-
Maybe it would've been somewhat better if they do this 10 seasons after. I don't miss the concept from TAR26 yet, but I don't really hate this concept.
-
It's ok, but I hope it's not all the teams like these. Maybe like TAR26. Half normal teams, half paired teams. I miss a season without themes, just 11 teams around the world, like the first ones. xD
-
I didn't mind TAR26 but it was more the locations and tasks (particularly in the second half) that made it a good season. I am just hoping for good locations and tasks, no matter the cheesy theme they do.

Do you know if there will be also "normal" teams? TY
-
No spec for the possible future location so far?
Will some overdue countries like South Korea/Australia/New Zealand and underused countries like Ireland/Iceland/Finland finally get the chance to be visit?
-
Is there a probability that they will visit Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam for this season? They haven't been to Ho Chi Minh City since season 15
-
Is there a probability that they will visit Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam for this season? They haven't been to Ho Chi Minh City since season 15
Vietnam would be great but I want Central Vietnam, so maybe both? Central Vietnam hasn't been visited since S3 - Hue, Hoi An & Da Nang
-
No locations are known, production is prob beginning to work on that now.
No one knows if this all mixed teams or not... my HOPE would be NO, my GUESS would be ...maybe. :dunno:
Please take wishlists to that thread. This is for spoilers and their discussion ONLY. Thanks!

:hello2: and :wel2 to RFF, ghmorello!
Normal teams, iinm, are teams with everyday people, not famous racers, not themed teams. (Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Back to the drawing board? I can't imagine that it's casting for Survivor since that should have been completed a while ago.
-
It is for another show, not TAR.
-
When will they start filming?
-
This new season will film for 30 days sometime between May and August,
2016
My guess is late June/early July start.

TAR has been renewed for 29!

-
Just clarifying. The press Release is misleading in reference to TAR. 2016-2017 covers most shows for a full season extending 2016 into 2017.
For TAR it is different. I am **pretty sure ** that we have definitively been renewed for ONE season (29).
We haven't had a 2 season renewal in a long time, and have this problem with press releases before.
SO for now, let's give thanks for ONE season!! :hearts:
-
TAR has been renewed for 29 and 30!!

:conf: :conf: :hearts: That's Awesome! Omg Season 30!
-
Please read my post. Not yet renewed for 30, only 29.
-
Peach, the only problem I have with your theory of what CBS means is that CBS itself has not announced a spring cycle renewal in a long time; its always been more indirect indicators during that time.
And the indicators aren't always there either, such as season 18 and 24 which were returning Racer seasons. And with 11, 18 and 24; that suggests we're about due for another returning racer type season for the spring.
Barring a major wave of terrorism everywhere TAR would normally be filmed for the spring, personally, I would expect a cycle 30. But that's JMHO. YMMV.
had to fix a typo, i.e., 18, not 28; and to fix that incoherent last sentence.

I would agree with this, we didn't really get any official press releases about spring TARs (TAR26 and 28) being a go from CBS and only when they were about to begin production did we know they were happening?

So my question is, why you would have to think and will have a pre-race speculation thread for TAR 29? It could be getting around 2 months.

Referring to TAR30, not 29 (:
-
I think we are saying the same thing?
Peach, the only problem I have with your theory of what CBS means is that CBS itself has not announced a spring cycle renewal in a long time; its always been more indirect indicators during that time.
Which is EXACTLY what I said. 29 (fall 16) IS renewed. As has been the case for last several years, that implies an "unofficial" renewal for 30 (Spring 17), but NOT a firm renewal..
However, the press release was misleading in including us in saying we had been renewed for 2016 AND 2017. It worked as a blanket statement for all the other "series" show that air Sept-April continuously. BUT our race does not. I am NOT saying that there will not be a 30...I do believe as always it is "unofficially" planned and should go ahead barring anything catastrophic.
That does not mean that THIS press release confirms 30, however.
And this isn't a "theory". ;)

reds_kevin and redshopekevin seem to close to be a coincidence. It's got to be an April Fools joke. Especially with the RFF reference. Well done, reds_kevin!

With “American Idol” signing off the air this week, the “Race” overtakes one of the iconic shows of all time — you were on-air before them — and still on-air after them. How do you feel about twin milestones of being picked up for another season and seeing one of the reality shows from our generation sign off?
We feel very fortunate to be on CBS, and we truly appreciate all of our wonderful fans, who continue to watch the show season after season.
We love producing “The Amazing Race” and everyone on our team works extremely hard to make each season better than the last. It’s always sad to see other shows go off the air, but we hope to keep “The Amazing Race” going for many more years.

The Amazing Race is definitely one of the greatest TV-show inventions. It is through this show that fuelled my passion for travelling.

For TAR 29, Elise Doganieri promises "we have a fantastic cast lined up, exciting new places and challenges, and a new twist like you have never seen before."

Well, concept too is also something that can be discussed here.
And I just read Elise's interview with The Wrap (http://www.thewrap.com/amazing-race-producer-dishes-on-season-finale-28-as-winner-is-crowned-exclusive/) and she says this about next season:
Ah Plaidmoon! You just beat me to it! lol

Sorry about that! People are fast around here. That's a good article. It's not long, but worth checking out
-
Interesting... they were finding singles earlier this year, but since we've already seen Blind Date/Hybrid teams on the show it couldn't be that?
Very interested though at what they mean by "new places" and the twist. Hopefully the twist isn't anything awful like a U-Turn before a Detour on TAR27 (wtf).
-
I'm excited for the new twist! :hoot:
-
I definitely think twist will be that they will pair two people for non-dating reasons

It would be similar to the show Lost, which coincidentally premiered the same day as TAR1 back in 2001.

-
I'm sure the casuals will just be happy to "get back to real people" next season :funny:
-
Knowing tar it's probably a voting uturn or salvage pass
-
Reportedly there is a casting gimmick again.... :res:
And I just HOPE we GET a fall premiere slot. Being a mid-season replacement is not fun!
-
Did anyone else see the all star pattern??
S11
S18
S24
S29
S33??????
+7
+6
+5
-
Reportedly there is a casting gimmick again.... :res:
I'm not sure what to feel about this. :gnome

29 is not a returning racer season though....

Phew! Glad to hear that.
-
Iit isn't!!!! Awhat I was hoping to c Sheri and Cole have another chance and Tiffany and Krista make the finale :gaah:
-
Peach, do you know the "twist" Elise teased? ???
If it's something entirely new that hasn't happened on any TAR versions, I have one idea in my mind. Teams consisting of singles, swapping between different team compositions every other leg or so.
-
I'm guessing it's some powerful one-season wonder like the DYM or the Save. ???
-
It's in a different board. No wonder I didn't see it. :groan:
I'll just transfer the stuff below from a thread that used to exist.
I don't really know where to post this, but I have noticed a certain pattern with themed seasons recently.
At the very end of TAR23, there was a short clip about an all-star season.
At the very end of TAR25, there was a short clip about some racers meeting each other only at the starting line.
At the very end of TAR27, there was a short clip about social media stars disconnecting for a while to join the race.
From what I noticed, it seems like TAR is filming themed season during November-December, so that they can release a short clip to excite or "excite" the viewers. There are some things to ponder on:
1.) Will TAR be continuing this trend for TAR30, 32, 34, and so on…?
2.) If they will continue this, what other themed seasons are possible?
3.) We've seen how TAR26 and TAR28 were disappointing when they were 1st announced but turned out pretty well when they aired.(can't say the same for TAR24 :lol: ) Do you think this will happen again when a themed season comes?
That's all I can think of for now. ??? Feel free to discuss about this speculated pattern.
Well I wouldn't be suprised if Tar 30 was an all Stars
I wanna add that TAR25 and TAR27 had public starts. I'm speculating TAR29 will do the same.
Meanwhile, I expect TAR30 to be another themed season without a public start.
-
I'm guessing it's some powerful one-season wonder like the DYM or the Save. ???
The Save appeared on S26, though unaired :P

Yeah, that's what Mike & Rochelle were saying on a podcast. Apparently nobody won it.
-
Hmmm, that's interesting. How did no one win the save? Was it an optional acquisition like the express pass in 25?
One guy who claims to be in the know says that 29 will be entirely strangers randomly paired together. I'm sure many here have read it. I personally loathe that idea. I disliked the idea of social media stars, but at least it was basically a normal season since the teams have existing relationships (and I thought it was a great season). All strangers would be an abomination like 26.

If I remember rightly, teams had to complete both Detour options in Phuket to win the save.
-
I'm just wondering how the twist will be. If they were to pair strangers what criteria is it? Would it be based on profession? hobbies? preferences? I'm curious. Would they add some blind dates into the mix? As long as TAR nails the cast, the tasks, the editing, the new places. I'll be happy. S.28 isn't bad despite being themed. Bottomline is, I'm grateful to have another season.
-
The worst thing is casuals will most likely hate that twist no matter what, especially if the cast appears "not normal" to them or "model actors" and we would lose even more viewership. :(
I hope that if it's indeed random pairing, at least we will get all types of teams (M/M, M/F, F/F) and not S26 combination all over again...
-
Just wishing for 29 to start soon!
-
This has been in my mind for so long, but I think the twist will involve the roadblock. In this new twist, the one who usually sits out will now be able to assist his/her partner in completing the task if it is deemed impossible to complete. Of course to win that new twist, they'd have to come first in leg one, similar to the express pass or however it is given.
I mean, I don't see any more twist they can do with the future seasons if TAR. The detour is already involved in various twists like the u-turn. But a roadblock twist however remains untouched. My best guess for a future twist will be a partner assisting type of roadblock or an intersection type roadblock. :conf:
-
Wrong-Turn (RB U-Turn) PLEASE, they've certainly toyed with the Idea before... (TAR27)
-
Change their partners for a leg.
When they start the leg they find out they are going to race with another partner for that leg, and then, in some point before the Pit Stop they will have to exchange to their original partner. Imagine when someone arrive to that point and their partner is not still there.
They do this in Pekín Express and it's so fun and nice to watch. :)

UPDATE:
As previously discussed....We are confirming that this will be a season of "single" racers paired up with another.
What is not yet known is whether these individuals will be paired up with a "something in common" partner (two moms, two military, fire/police) for example, or paired as "nothing in common" and choose any one of a million difficult options geared for controversy. :groan:
-
This is really scary.
ALL singles?

:( :( :( They don't need big twists to have a good show (TAR 25)
Hopefully, its 4ff 3mf 4mm and no mf overload

This is really scary.

I heard some of the racers are married. :funny:
-
*sighs*

Great, more painfully forced Mat Chats of Phil asking things like "Are you getting along yet?", "Do you think you'll have a lasting friendship?", etc :res:
...If it ever even airs since they moved it to mid-season. Just keep on pounding those nails into The Amazing Race's coffin, CBS...

This thread is for discussion of spoilers, not for wishlists please. Chatter will be deleted. and maybe flushed. :groan:

I like twist
-
When you say "singles", you mean people who are singles in love (TAR26), or singles that are going to participate alone and paired up (ex: a married man be paired with a college girl (with boyfriend))?
-
It's interesting (funny?) how they took a twist that did nothing to help the show's ratings or public awareness (maybe even lost some viewers and fans) and expanded it even more. :snicker:
(ex: a married man be paired with a college girl (with boyfriend))?
omg, That would be a horrible Temptation Island-type of pairing.
Which is probably why they'll do that, most likely. :gaah:

Hahahah well it was just an example! I was just making an example were age and love didn't matter at all. Tbh, it can be a nice twist, but maybe not right now. To help the ratings would be better a normal season, no twist, just like the first seasons imo.

Exactly.
Sorry for being so pessimistic, but I honestly feel like this crappy twist is something nobody wanted or asked for and the ratings will go down even more :groan: :(
-
Blind Date gave us Hayley/Blair, Jelani/Jenny, Bergen/Kurt and Jeff/Jackie who were probably the people who brought it the most on TAR26 (sans Mashley bc lol Mashley <3).
I'm not quite pessimistic over this twist, but it is a big 'eh' to me.
Trying to recreate something can either go really well (San Juan Del Sur aka BvW 2 and Kaoh Rong which was Cagayan 2) or REALLY REALLY BAD (TAR24.... discount Chinese DVD version of TAR11).
I'm trying to cross my fingers but I'm just so worried we're gonna get cancelled after this ;____;
-
As previously discussed....We are confirming that this will be a season of "single" racers paired up with another.
What is not yet known is whether these individuals will be paired up with a "something in common" partner (two moms, two military, fire/police) for example, or paired as "nothing in common" and choose any one of a million difficult options geared for controversy. :groan:
No. Just... NO.
-
Do we have an exact date for the start of filming? i'm so excited :cheer:
-
For security reasons we do not share the start date until the racers are underway.
But yes...it won't be a long wait! :hearts:

Take your pick of any casting agents and you'll get wannabes no problem. Normal BBUK leading the way with that idea tonight -_-
-
I bet it will start the exact moment I leave the LA area

Thank You Peach, I cannot wait to do detective work.

TAR Brazil version 1 (Corrida Milionaria) had 4 MM 2MF 5 FF, 3 out of 5 FF win the legs and Patrica & Sane win the race

Pray to save the series to get avoided cancellation.
-
As what Carol & Brandy of Season 16 said during their elimination in Singapore: "Dumb did us in!" Well, these "dumb" twists are nailing the show to the brink of cancellation or should we say elimination. I wonder how the casuals are going to react to this. As a TAR purist, I'll drop the axe on this one, not a good twist. I'll watch it for the sole fact I've been watching TAR since Season 1 up to the recently concluded Season 28.
(:;) (:;)
-
Complaining and quitting won't help matters though... it will only prove the annoying casual fans right.
Best choice is to hope for the best. It's not over till it's over!
-
Us RFF fans (well, most of us at least) won't quit the show until it lasts, whatever stupid twists CBS comes up with.
But I doubt the FB casuals will be happy. I'm pretty sure they won't be.
Even before this recent social media season they were spamming "geo back to normal people", "why do they all look like models", "give average Americans a chance" and they definitely didn't support the Blind Date twist in S26.
Prepare for an uproar, though there's still a lot of time until the official announcement. (Unless it's a public start, which I have no idea about.)
-
It's absolutely freaking ironic how casuals respond to TAR26 in general considering they all loved the idea of Mark & Mallory but then these people also love the cowboys so yeah.
-
They only liked the idea of Mark & Mallory because they were gasping for Bopper & Mark, so were happy with at least one of them racing?
And then everyone hated Mallory after leg 2 :groan:
But whatever, this is not about the upcoming season.

No, I distinctly remember a lot of casual comments going "throw together strangers as a team good idea!!!" and it would usually be the top comment and then 26 happened and suddenly it was the worst idea ever.
I digress though! :P
-
Y all all donkey got see twist in action before judge

I'd rather watch a full season of actual, non-famous pairs than a season full of single applicants and "YouTube stars".

The twist seems really bad right now, but I'll just wait and see.
The only thing this has done to me is not be excited for the next season (yet).

I will never quit. If us, the most faithful fans of TAR quit, then it will go downhill until the cancelation. If I don't like a twist but I know my views are going to help the show, I'll continue watching.
However, we don't really know if we like the twist or not untill it started. We didn't like the Blind Dates at all and it gave us awesome teams. Same for Youtube twist. Tbh I'll always like TAR, no matter what twist they bring on it. <3
Btw, I'm not american, so I don't watch the live show, so I can't help the show in any way. lol lol lol #ItSucks

I'm tired of the we want normal people argument. The social media season is a top 5 season for me and I would like another one please. If you think YouTube celebs aren't normal people, then you're being a bit prejudice. Besides, what do you mean by normal people?
-
That's a cliche term mostly utterred by FB casuals, but it mostly refers to average Americans, people of all ages and sizes.

Exactly. I don't want any more contestant themes.
-
These are real people, not stars or celebs as much as I know.
They will be having the added challenge of not only running the race, but dealing with a stranger 24/7. Let's wait to see how that plays out before we judge?? Our blind dater Final 3 showed us it sure is possible!!

RFF's Golden Rule:
Have RESPECT for each other, regardless of opinion. This of course includes no flaming/insulting other users and/or their posts.
-
Yeah well I'm pretty positive it'll play out well and we'll get an above average season, but it's just that with such themes TAR strays even more from its original format of teams with preexisting relationships.
I believe even you Peach expressed such dissatisfaction when the Blind Date twist was announced? Or maybe it was some other RFFers.
Anyway, however pessimistic my posts in this thread seem/are, I'm still hella excited for the filming to start, since I want to know the route :lol:
-
Hoping for more new countries! (and give China a rest, please)
They've been doing good for that after a dry spell from 21-24. There's still many safe countries in the world they could choose.
-
Then I'm clearly not watching this season, or any more seasons until there's unknowns and no themes. .

Sure did and I was amazed at how well it played out. Guess that is why I am giving this one the let's wait and see college try!!

For the TAR 29
I highly doubt that it will have a westward start
Zika Virus are very common in Americas
Plus Copa America and Euro 2016
And the low chance of re-visiting China
Japan and South Korea will have a high possibility for Leg 1
Executive producer of TAR states that there will be new countries
I think Laos/Qatar will be an option
