TAR 24: Bitch, Moan, and Squeal Thread **Spoilers Inside!**
redskevin88:
I don't get the Dave/Connor hate, why the hate? They were competent enough on their season, was a lock for F5 until that horrific injury, if they do win so what. Sure it sucks that Winnie & Pam lost to them in Bali (.... edited)

Also don't get it why many think Na/Na was robbed. Josh & Brent fairly beat them in their season, and it was their fault they sucked with the stick shift in Spain and finished last. Sucks they finish last this season but John Vito & Jill and Amanda & Kris will tell you that's life.

First of all, maybe it's because Dave & Connor were pretty boring? I don't remember much from them except crying every episode. And for Na/Na, it's clearly because Josh & Brent were just "there". They were pretty much the equivalent of floaters on TAR for every episode until since, so to see them make it to the F3 instead of a team happy to be there was pretty sickening.

Two of my favourite MM teams right there. Goats were one of my favourite winners ever, and Dave & Connor would've walked through TAR22 :res:

A) GGF were completely MOR/UTR and provided literally NO entertainment until after Abby & Ryan were eliminated I do not see any entertainment worth in them especially after they robbed four more deserving and more liked teams of a victory (Chips, Trexi, NaNa, Abby & Ryan)
--- Quote from: Leafsfan on January 13, 2014, 09:20:50 AM ---And don't forget the mention of cancer in every other word (I am exaggerating, but you get the point). If the producers didn't push that angle down our throats then I'd like to think they would be better liked.
As for NaNa they were robbed. In France a producer issue made them have to drive back? (iirc) so that allowed the ggf's to check in in that time.

B) Dave & Connor literally talked about cancer and injuries for their entire airtime and it wasn't like MOR story like the Tims or something (yeah the Tims did something well shocker) it was literally they grabbed it and shoved it down our throats, giving NOBODY else airtime and also they dominated most of the previously on time THE EPISODE AFTER THEY QUIT IN THE FIRST THREE SECONDS OF AIRTIME.
C) Pwinnie were robbed and will always be, both of an All-Stars spot, and also winning two legs then eliminated seventh.
D) NaNa were robbed because they were beaten by a team that was fairly useless and won the race because of ONE task that in the end became luck because nobody was paying attention. NaNa were also robbed because they were SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING than GGF and 'Sucks they finish last this season' yes it does because the rest of the teams are utterly boring/crap bar a select few god/desses and being eliminated early ruins the cast because they were the team I was most excited about returning (then Maxie but they didn't get cast because casting are idiots).
But NaNa's story arc was finished accurately when they were eliminated, so I'm okay with their elimination :lol:
albiegato:
What I don't get is the level of hate for luck tasks. I mean it is annoying when the team you're rooting for plummets to last and the team you utterly hate gets in front, but if there isn't a good level of luck, most tasks would just be very linear, and the order in which they finish would be the order in which they arrived.
Also for Josh & Brent, I liked them as winners. Sure I didn't notice them early on (I even confused them with Will & Gary), but they were easily noticeable since their non-elimination leg. And I loved how they sort of evolved during the Final 4, kind of a search for vengeance for their fallen comrades (Abby & Ryan).
I also don't understand how a team was 'robbed' during a leg. I mean it's their fault they got eliminated. Also Dave & Connor's cancer story was spoon fed to us since they were only in the race for 4 legs. That and that they have a game-breaking injury is reason enough for them to have airtime (overdone, I must admit).
I just hope TPTB had the mental health to at least ask Pam & Winnie to come back during the casting of TAR 24, and that Pam & Winnie just hd to decline. It is a sad loss.
