TAR 24 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**

--- Quote from: Plaidmoon on November 23, 2013, 05:26:59 PM ---I hope you guys are right and YouTube and Brenchel bring millions of viewers to TAR. It's a win-win situation for everyone and would be one of the best things that ever happened to TAR. However, I'll be skeptical until the ratings come in for the first couple of episodes.
By the way, I like Team YouTube and would have liked to see them last longer. I'm OK with Brenchel too, but the tears and drama from Rachael got to be a bit much at times.

I agree. That's the risk CBS took with bringing those teams back too. Like once those two teams get eliminated they are going to have to deal with a ratings drop. Think about though, what fanbase does JJ,Cancer,Puke,Cowboys,Country singers, and Afghans have? All 6 of those teams probably have the fanbase size of YouTube and Brenchel combined.

Sorry, but that is FAR from the truth.

Just when I think I'm getting out, they drag me back into the discussion. :iok
TAR's ratings are largely due to the TAR fanbase. They could have 11 or 12 completely anonymous unheard of teams and still get decent ratings, That was true in most of the early seasons. It's only been the last 10 or 12 seasons when TAR would bring in a couple of teams with some name recognition. Before that, it was Rob and Amber from Survivor and maybe one or two other teams that I can't come up with at the moment. Ratings haven't generally dropped off the cliff when a well known team got eliminated. I doubt that will suddenly be the case now. At most, teams like YouTube and Brenchel might add 10 or 15% to the ratings and most likely less than that.
I'm going to withdraw now, since I've said my piece and I don't either of us are going to change our minds. Also, this should probably be in the Bitch and Moan Thread and not in the discussion of spoilers, so we're just littering up the real discussions that should be going on here. Not that there hasn't been a lot of that so far.

Plaidmoon, we are not talking about ALL of the seasons together. We are talking about season 24 ONLY.
You know deep down team youtube and brenchal have more fanbase than all of the other teams. I'm sorry but if you dont see this you are lying to yourself.
