Hi Bill,
Thanks for posting. I sure miss the "good old days" when unknowns were cast. That's how we got to meet you and Joe. You were both great, I enjoyed your season very much. How do you feel about all this recruiting and mactors? It seems like TAR should be advertising that only "beautiful people need apply" now. Or, "entertainment genre only need apply". Of course they throw in a few unknowns in each season now, but the trend is toward celebrityism. What is your take?
TARAsia Fan:
All very good posts on the Mactor issue. Not a fan, but as said way back, if the team brings a new audience and this audience sticks with the show, then it's ok. My problem as Peach mentioned is the stunt casting or recruiting those who have never seen the show. If a Mactor is a fan and been the show for a long period of time, then fine, but not a team recruited out of a bar that is not familiar with TAR.

I agree with TARAsia Fan. I didn't mind Brain & Erica and the Globetrotters... what I don't like is a whiny team like Natalie & Pailin, a "I didn't sign up for this" Mika and teams that are totally incompetent and benefited from one non-e and one screw up Maria & Tiff....
Pedaler:
I have to admit that I am very fickle in this area. If I like the team, then I'm all for mactors and recruited teams. If I don't, then mactors and recruited teams suck. :meow:
And no, I can't figure out and don't want to figure out, why I like some teams and not others. :umn:
