Many racers with those types of professions have had very stern, no-nonsense personalties (see Season 20)

Yeah that's the problem. Hopefully we get mainly interesting personalities and not bores.

*cough* Art and JJ *cough*

Oh Art & JJ are exceptions. Were they vile? Yes.

But were they boring? Nope.

I want teams with passion, like Josh and Brent, instead of teams that complain/cry every leg. *cough* Brendon and Rachael *cough*
This is also why I was happy that you know who didn't win Season 27.

It's not "bores" that's the problem. It's more or less "people who'd like to keep their lives private".

CBS has the potential to make this a great season in the first couple of episodes. If they screw up, then there's a massive problem right there.

I wonder what will replace the relationship or Twitter tag title underneath their team name since they are complete strangers... is it going to be just nothing?

Probably Something like Boston Cop/Army Vet for example. My guess....

It's going to be difficult to establish a good "relationship" title if there is a team that has similarly skilled occupations, and then there is at least that one team with a "rock climber/pharmaceutical sales rep" type of situation. :lol: Now I am thinking the pairs may have settled on nicknames since that seems more uniform and less of a long stretch, so maybe Bourkie could have a lead on this one. Hopefully if that does occur, then they can be better thought up of than production-given ones in the past AKA "The Legal Team", "The Blonde Date", "Rx for Love", and "The Dating Couple".

Since season 27, the race has relied too much on height tasks.

S27 had a lot, but S28 didn't. The Chamonix leg was the only heights task. Unless you count the water slide and the jump in bali.

The final leg had two different heights tasks

This season lost me already when within the first 20 SECONDS of the premiere, you attack the audience with a clip of Dave & Connor.

Or maybe it's their way of saying "Remember Dave & Connor? Yeah, at least none of these strangers will ever be as bad as them."  :haha

Like...maybe it's because I haven't had the joy of US TAR in my life in a year but this cast is great? I know the concept of 22 singles isn't the best in a show about relationships but it seems like they cast 22 ridiculous people and were content with seeing how the race plays out which isn't awful IMO.

Vanck's intro was not a good look but I'm choosing to believe he's as in on the joke as the editors were and thus I'm not too disturbed by it (for now).

I can tell you this cast is AWESOME!! They are SO excited, super friendly, incredibly diverse, and they all know and love RFF! So give this a chance please.

And remember...Positivity and ratings are going to determine our future. So please try hard to find something nice to sayif you want to see TAR 30 and beyond!!

Dryed: Dave is one of the nicest men I have ever met. He and Conor had NO control over the cancer edit.. that was CBS not them.  So please consider quitting hating them when it is almost certainly their edit you dislike.  So over hearing people dissing them and not the edit... :groan:

"I blame the edit" is something very commonly seen and my argument still stands that you wouldn't be blaming anything if you didn't do anything to have that specific content shown in the first place.

Anyways that was very off-topic, now onwards and upwards for 29!

Their cancer pity party was the least of the reasons why they were a horrible team. I think their hateful and hypocritical attitudes during TAR24 (which really shouldn't exist in the first place) are more horrible and deserving of criticism. Among many other things.

And I'll bring this topic back on track while still making my point. It is very interesting to include them out of any other team when they really were universally disliked or hated by both diehard, message board visiting fans and the Facebook casuals. Bopper and Mark? Easy choice. Margie & Luke? Can be argued for. Dave & Connor? I'd actually be less annoyed if it were the Cowboys because at least we know Bertram and Co or CBS love them with all their hearts, a sentiment shared by the casuals who want to see them Race until they win.

Basically, I'm bitching about how out of touch Bertram and Co and CBS apparently are with the audience to feel the need to include a widely disliked team as one of the very first things you see on a do or die, make or break season premiere. So it is very easy to see why TAR is in the position it is in right now.

It was them just saying "I love you", which works for the situation. I think you are overreacting
