About Isabelle Du, she is Vietnamese-American. She is a model/actress. She acted in one Vietnamese drama series call 'Nữ vệ sĩ' (Female bodyguard). I did not watch any Vietnamese drama for a long time so I did not realize her.  :groan:

I did search about red team because it seems to be that everyone is not interested in firefighters M/M team.
However, I found out very interesting information about this team.

Michael Ward helped rescue Boston Marathon attack victims when he was off-duty. Here is his interview.

Photo of this teams:

Michael (grey T-shirt) and I think Scott stand right behind the woman.

Let me know if I've confused someone somewhere (especially the same-sex teams)!

Why is Bethany not clapping? ??? :funny:

OK, so I'm not sure where really to post this, but as it's about a team I'll put in the Contestant Thread.  :lol:

Now that I'm over my initial concerns and worries about this cast, I actually think it has the potential to be one the best we've seen in a quite a while, even though I said different not 3 Hours ago in the BMS Thread.  :funny:

Anyway, I can't wait to watch Robbie & Brooke.  I don't watch TNA anymore but have been an avid WWE watcher for years, and I remember Brooke when she was there back 7 or 8 years ago.
I just can't believe we're finally getting a proper (more famous, recognisable) team of Pro-Wrestlers.   :yess:
I'm sure SamuelDude is with me......... If he / she reads this.... :lol:

So yeah, that's my pointless post for my reasoning for rooting for them.  Here's hoping they aren't eliminated early!  :hoot:

P.S Neobie, did you really just go there?? :groan:

Please, let's not do that...

Forgot to say this... Looks like red team, Michael&Scott will be the jokesters of the season. Hopefully they'll do great, I don't remember if we have ever had a fire fighter that goes far in the race...

That is literally one of the worst things I have ever read on this site. Are you seriously making fun of someone who lost a limb in an accident, and has the courage to not only overcome that disability, but appear on a national television show? She's worked so hard to overcome her disability, and people like you who make light of it are doing nothing but hurting both her, and your reputation. I suggest you edit that out of your post immediately.

Not the time and the place (thread) to start bickering - keep this thread compact! I am sure it was light-hearted knowing Neobie. And please, a lot of the above comments are speculation, discussion and essentially choosing favourite teams. That goes in spec / discussion etc. Not in a Contestants SPOILERS thread :)  :hrt:

Am I right in saying though that we haven't even had a Fire Fighter team other than Matt & Daniel in TAR 22, and Damon or Andre in TAR 3. (Can't mind which one was the Fireman?)   ???

nmccarroll91 - Just a heads up, this is speculation and discussion - which should be in a separate thread - not this SPOILERS thread! Need to keep this tight!

It'll be good exposure for TNA even the company isn't that great. Brooke hasn't been on TV for a while and Robbie E just lost the Tag Titles a few weeks ago.

Shelley & Nici are from Detroit and I'd suspect Shelley's a single mother who works odd hours. They most likely are in the race for the money as Detroit is a financially unstable major city.

Wow now that's one of the most unfair, stupid, unintelligent statements I have ever read.  So then by your reasoning, everyone in Detroit, is a single mother who works odd hours, and is financially unstable and needs the money just because she is from Detroit? Ignorant to say the least!

Keep in mind folks that in CBS's media relations eyes, being from Detroit could include the nearby suburbs of Detroit.
While the city itself is in bankruptcy reorganization, that does not mean everyone living in the area is in bankruptcy, many private corporations are doing just fine there (i.e., auto manudacturers) and others, and there's a resettlement boomlet under way as new businesses incubate in previously abandoned and cleared neighborhoods, artists and creative types have been floaking to resettle some of those neighborhoods.

Detroit's debt is mostly related to the huge unpaid pension liability it has to retired city employees such as police, fire, EMTs, and so forth. The economic recessions of the past 20 to 30 years already drove away many of those who couldn't find work, and there's been a plan underway in that city for years to tear down abandoned homes and building whose owners or landlords have allowed to fall into disrepair. Many of those lots are now blocks and blocks of grass.

So if the team from Detroit are dentists, that does not mean they're not doing well financially, there is a shortage of medical professionals in the US, including dentists, so I wouldn't mix their possible personal situations with the situation of the public sector in that area.

Errr... Back to topic? <3

I gotta say it is a not-so-diverse cast, but I really feel excited about them. Seems like quite a lot of teams will be fun to watch.

Appear to be unique teams, We haven't had a pro-wrestling team that is on a international level. Hoping that Bethany and Adam are sort of like Amy & Daniel but don't go out as early.
