Mactors/Recruited Teams
redskevin88:
Decided to start a thread for what you called "Mactors" [and also recruited teams]
My personal opinion... as long as they know what they are going into (Ida & Tania, ARA3 one good example), likeable personality (Marc & Rovilson, Paula & Natasha ARA2, Mel & Mike AR14, Flight Time & Big Easy, AR15, apart from the Mika-Canaan thing) and are genuine fans I have no problems, and of cause competent racers. Maria & Tiffany, Mika & Canaan and Aubrey & Jac comes to mine about who I DON'T WANT to see again.

I don't mind Mactors, as long as they have applied properly. The thing I really can't stand is RECRUITED TEAMS
But you talk about competent teams, what about the likes of Debra and Steve? They certainly were not recruited, but it was obvious that they were doomed from the word go.

I've only seen, the most S10-S16, and ARA2-3, parts of ARA1, you'll have to enlighten me on the early seasons...

Debra and Steve admitted they would not be good racers, and spent all of the first leg at the back of the pack before getting eliminated.
Nicer, sweeter folk you will not meet though (At least on camera)

I agree. Brian & Ericka were a "mactor" team I didn't mind seeing. From what I can remember reading in one of their post-race interviews, they had been long-tome fans of the show who finally took the next step and actually applied for the show. It's the teams like Brent & Caite I can't stand. She's famous for saying something stupid; why does that mean she deserves a trip around the world and I just get to watch from my couch?
