TAR 23: Bitch, Moan, and Squeal Thread **Spoilers Inside!**

Where could they be!? I'm thinking rural Peru, since people there might not understand that it's Amazing Race or maybe don't have the technology to put it on facebook or twitter. Hopefully we catch 'em soon though!

They're probably in a rural area without a lot of technology, like rural Peru or rural Bolivia.
Incidentally, the two F/F teams were on the first flight to Chile, so I'm pretty sure they survived the first leg.

I don't like when teams are cast, or not cast, on the basis of their gender make-up. To me it is not a relevant factor. As many pointed out during the last season (TAR 22) no so-called alpha-male team had won since TAR 10; although male same-gender teams did win some seasons, they had flaws (and I would suspect were probably cast to throw those flaws into the mix. And there were several seasons where strong male teams did not make to the finish mat first, although they made final four.
Female same-gender teams likewise were cast, and won some of those seasons between TAR 10 and 22, and some of them missed opportunities to win because of their mistakes that had nothing to do with their perceived physical strength or lack thereof.
So I admit I get irritated by talk about there being too many or too few same gender teams in a particular season. TPTB seem to have found their sweet spot in casting teams that aren't totally perfect and giving them all chances to succeed or fail on their own choices and decisions. That's why you won't be hearing me complain ever about the superficial categorization of teams by their gender make-up.

I largely agree. I think it's mostly irrelevant what gender or racial makeup the team has. If they are likable and I think they deserve to win, I will root for them. Regardless of gender, race, etc, as long as interesting, "real-people" teams are cast, I will be satisfied.
