Bitching about the TAR29 premiere episode in the "TAR 29 Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread **SPOILERS** Read Post #1!" thread is off topic?
"Teams of 2 have raced almost a million miles around the world testing their relationships to the limit..."
They're the only team that's said "I Love You" ever on the Race? Or even the last 5 seasons?
My point, which is on topic and which I already posted in my previous comment is that if Bertram and Co. think Dave & Connor are some shining example of The Amazing Race... no, not even that. But an example of "Testing their relationships to the limit" or even just a random team to endear to the audience, then it is very easy to see why TAR has been on a steep decline and is now on the verge of cancellation in the United States.
I don't know why you keep bringing up them being "hired" as "cancer survivors" like they can't be that and a horrible team at the same time undeserving of being featured on the season that can make or break a 16 year old franchise.
