Who Do You Think Will Win TAR 17?

--- Quote from: mswood on November 10, 2010, 11:15:51 PM ---Personally I would love to find out that Jill & Thomas won. That they were actually on that flight (or an earlier one though that is highly doubtful with the type of planning done on the last half dozen final legs).
I have no problem with any of the final three teams winning as all have had strong legs, all have had poor legs, and all seem to be actually racing...through this season.
But I have never really wanted a female team to win if their was a feeling like casting was trying to help enable it, by either casting softer competition, or by casting more. Just like season four seemed to just hand over the race to one of the many male teams cast.
As for casting soft the productions type of male casting has changed dramatically over the years, even going so far in all stars as not considering them for spots (I still get upset about that). Seasons 11, 12, 13, and 14 featured no fit athletic young male teams. Though with season 15 you had Sam and Dan and while Flight Time is over 30 they certainly were physically strong so lets count them as well and 16 had Jet & Cord (again I think one was in their 30's or 30) but they were physically fit so I would count them. And of course 17 back to no fit young athletic male teams.
Of course with the race a good chuck is luck and teams that on paper should do well can do terrible.
I would rather have just seen a female team win against strong male teams, as well as fit young couple teams. Thats probably my only real complaint.

Your statement could be reversed to say that a FF team has never had a chance before because of all the athletic MM teams. They decided not to cast any of those this year, maybe they are trying to give the FF teams a chance.

I'm biased and i don't care. I just want an all-female team to win. And it's not about alpha male teams or what. The last time we had all-female teams in the final 3, (TAR 14 and Allstars except TAR 10).. they all lost against a co-ed team. In fact in all-stars, both Charla and Mirna and BQs lost against Eric and Danielle, who're weaker than them.
And no to Jill and Thomas winning. It will kill my TAR appetite, i'm serious.

Now you see why people like Nat&Kat and Brooke&Claire have come on the race-to be the first FF team to win.

The point of this forum is for us to guess at which of those will win.

You really believe that? ???

Sorry if you thought I meant the whole forum. I was referring to this particular topic I created.

Won't entirely kill my TAR appetite, but it will spoil the whole season for me.
