Having the starting line always in Southern California. California is a beautiful place , but couldn't you have a starting line elsewhere for a change?
The lack of interesting teams. Who ever casts these teams needs to be fired immediately. Every season , it's the same old schtick. Every team is around 30 years of age and is good looking. This is tiring after how many seasons of it. Time to bring back teams like a mother daughter team or old grandparent team. Enough with the younger good looking teams already.
2. Yes that they need more grandparent teams,
15 had only like 2.5 teams worth rooting for, and 16 was meh. If anything, I'd say their casting is getting much better these days than it has been, they just need to throw in older teams again.
I'm not so sure about grandparent teams as I always seem to think that they will be eliminated first. They also don't add much drama as they always nice people.
I'm curious to know who you think is the 2.5 teams worth rooting for in S15? I can think of at least 3 (poker players, Zev and Justin, Gary and Matt) - I'm assuming here that you not a fan of the GlobeTrotters.
