Sometimes it really is hard to understand.

I thought this was the one place to post anything and everything, but now apparently yoy have to sort that as well.

With a couple of exceptions, we don't know very much about the teams except for a few pictures, so the "I <3 <3 <3 Team Green" and "I </3 </3 </3 Team Green" comments seem pretty pointless at this point.

Maybe it's just me though.

It's not just you.
I've never understood picking favorites without any information about the teams. And when I did pick teams to be at least final 3/4 it was because there was enough to see what sort of skill sets they had. But the CBS promo monkeys often don't give that sort of info any longer, so I don't even do that until a couple of legs have set in. And that I don't post about the these days.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking that way.

While I see no reason to be anything but neutral towards most of our MF teams and Adam & Alex, there can be reasons why some other teams already have fans.

I watched two audition videos of Jazmine & Danielle, and they seemed like very regular, funny and cool people. Also, we saw Tiffany & Krista in a video in Argentina, which is probably why I started to like them - they just seemed helpless and desiring to stay in the race, which made me empathise for them. Besides, I ALWAYS tend to root for FF teams. :funny:

Those might not be enough reasons to like somebody, but that's the most one can get about the teams at this point. It doesn't mean that I dislike the others and it certainly doesn't mean that my opinion will stay the same when the race starts.

An opinion is a person's own view, so if they want to love Tiffany/Krista, they can. I do. :)

THIS. Took the word right out of my mouth.

Especially that video in Argentina made me interest to see how Tiffany & Krista will run the race. They're so fierce. :lol: <3

I almost always root for F/F teams as well.

I think the reason why we tend to root for female teams is the fact that more male teams dominate, especially in the earlier seasons. :)

Yeah, and because very few all-female teams actually win the whole thing!  At least, in the American series.

That might be why, but I actually could never figure out what it is that always makes me like FF teams more :funny:

An exception goes to TAR6 for me. :lol:
Like what almost happened to a F/F team in TAR15, the only all-male team was eliminated on the first leg. I felt so bad for Avi & Joe. They were one of the few teams I could tolerate that season.
Still wish they had encountered the shopping bag lady. :hrt:

For TAR27, I am totally looking forward to this cast. None of the sole-gender teams seem like they will underwhelm with performance or lack personality, which the show seemed to be stumbling with since season 19. I hope this is the race that can overtake my top 6 seasons. Now it all comes down to competition with editing = TAR10-TAR17 quality.

Hopefully the ratings can switchback to the way it used to be.

What a lot of people don't understand is that if you look at all platforms, including the plus 7 and plus 30 numbers, TAR's audience has been remarkably stable for quite a few years around 10-11 million. Those overnight/weekly numbers the media likes to use (even though CBS and the advertisers aren't using them) are highly misleading.

It's always at least 28-30 days before, this year is unusually slow :res:

We've never had a Cast Bio Release this late, what's the hold-up??

That's awesome because I was worried it could be because I'm in the Uk.

I'm most looking forward to the video where they show everyone because they also show some of the race
