TAR 18 Contestant Speculation
NotKaren:
Ah, I see there's still a separate thread for Team Speculation specifically.... OK then.
Good Decisions (whether I personally like the teams or not)
Kynt and Vyxsin- There was never any doubt.
Jamie and Cara - And it doesn't come easy for me to say it since I hate Jaime so much, she joins Johnathan, Flo and Kendra in my exclusive Pantheon of Racers I can't stand. Sadly, it makes sense.
Margie and Luke - they made memorable television and Luke's an uberfan.
Gary and Mallory - Gary is TAR's antidote to That Guy they cast way too often on the race and he LOVES TAR as much as I do. He's quiet, competent, hardworking and just rocks all around. For all those aholes who've described themselves as Alpha Males and ended up being nothing but abusive bullies: watch and learn. Mal is also redemption for the Kendra-type beauty queen. She's loud and screechy but she's by no means a vapid, conceited burden to her partner type of Miss Whatever.
Amanda and Kris - Not memorable, but not incompetent either since they were eliminated via UTurn. They need a young couple for demographics and I'd rather have these two than any bickering couple so I consider this a dodging a bullet (a Nate and Jen-shaped one) type of decision.
Jet and Cord - bit of a DOH again.
Zev and Justin - great relationship, great sense of humor and the redemptive second chance ange makes for good TV. I've ALWAYS wanted to see Zev performing a memory/number-related task.
So-So Decisions
Kisha and Jen- Competent, strong female team with a good relationship. I particularly respected and enjoyed the way Kisha treated her sister when they fell behind due to her fear of water. BUT. They were cast for a rematch with Luke and Margie and that doesn't sit well with me.
Mel and Mike - Fun, easy to root for and I'd rather see an uber fan of the show, but other than that... meh. Ken and Tina are more RAAAAACE oriented.
UGH Decisions
Mark and Micheal - Cheaters from an already overrepresented season.
Steve and Linda - Who and Why?
The Globetrotters - I like them but I have zero respect for them. I would kill to be on TAR (born in the wrong country) and they bail on it AFTER being stunt-cast in the first place.
Micheal and Kevin - I'm not looking forward to seeing Kevin treat his father like excess baggage. Again.
Cocoa:
All of these negativity comments make me sad, but yep, I agree with most of the them though. :(
I'm gonna ignite the light of hope, spark, and let it shine, like the 4th of July. (LOLSong) Here's hoping this would be a good season! :hearts:
EDIT: :lol:
Zvarri:
If the list is true, then the ONLY good teams would be Kynt and Vyxsin, Jamie and Cara, Kisha and Jen. and Gary and Mallory.
The rest are wtf choices. Like, seriously, I wanna punch the producer's face for casting these teams. :dick
NotKaren:
Really? Regardless of whether YOU like the teams or not, how do you cast a Former Racers TAR from 12 onwards and NOT include Jet and Cord and Margie/Luke?
Second chances make sense, good TV and usually bring back cool teams and not jerkwads so what's wrong with Zev and Justin?
