Lucky TAR 13 Talk!
mswood:
While I having nothing against models, pageant people or aspiring actors. Even season 2 had asprining actors (Gary & Dave). And Chris & Alex had no problem with trying to parley into entertainment fields.
But I would also like to see teachers, scientists, police officers, accountants, office workers, ect....
And I understand that tv being a visual medium is going to cast on average good looking people, and thats fine. But you can have good looking people in other fields.

--- Quote from: apskip on March 11, 2008, 10:09:59 AM ---I have a few pithy comments about the above rumors:
1. If true, this shows how desperate the Amazing Race is to get a winning female team. There would be a 100% probability of a winning female team for an all-female team race. How low will World Race Productions stoop to achieve an objective? Couldn't they just cast their teams properly with carefully chosen couples and male teams to get that desired result?
2. The thought of more retreads from Survivor on the Amazing Race, as usual, makes me ill.
3. The only thing that would make me more ill would be more retreads from Big Brother.
4. Let's see fresh faces and not all from the same high school in southern California! Bertram, please give your casting folks a decent budget so they can travel further than 50 miles.

I agree with points 2, 3 and 4.
But I strongly disagree with part of #1. The idea of an all female team season is laughable. I can just picture all the teams making the generic, i want to be the first all female team that wins confessional.
But I despise the idea of casting the show to enable a female team to win. As a women, that pisses me off.
If they are going to cast fit, smart athletic women then they should do the same with men. If they still can't win a season, too damn bad.
I hated when they did that with all stars (with a passion). It tells all other teams, whether they are in shape, smart, young couples or parent/child or smart fit young women, or seniors, ect. That they aren't good enough. That we have to stack the deck in your favor to "let" you win.
That is complete and utter crap.
I mean you look at the female teams that are generally well liked (or thought to be good), or last a long time rarely is strength the issue that gets them eliminated.
Really the only time that I can recall this happening is the bowling Moms. Though admittedly if Bama had managed to go to the correct airport and secure tickets, it is exceedingly doubtful that this out of shape team, could have kept pass with either of the younger teams.

Well said, mswood!

Neobie, one thing you should have learned from reading posts on this thread is NEVER trust anything Bertram van Munster says publicly. It has no better than a 50% chance of being accurate. I personally do not believe based on other evidence on this forum that the start of AR13 will be "April or May". He is just trying to fake us out and keep our eye off the ball. Plan on the next 2.5 weeks for the start of AR13. I think there is a better than 50% chance that this will prove to be correct.
georgiapeach:
Thank you Neobie! Great find! :jumpy: :jumpy:
Yes, BVM has a poor track record for accuracy with us but I love the very "original and insane" route comments!
We have loads of production resumes leading us to think that filming could start as soon as the next couple of weeks but certainly continuing into or even starting in April remains a possibility.
So everyone travel with eyes peeled and cameras ready! :lol:
