our average joe teams?
tar 23 - tim/danny, brandon/adam, rowan/shane
tar 22 - chuck/wynona
tar 21 - gary/will, rob/kelley?
tar 20 - bopper/mark, dave/cherie, elliot/andrew (average enough like any kami and karli)?
we've had average joes every season.. and it depends on what you deem as average. i am assuming you are thinking no-name random people..
then just TAR 23 alone, we had 7/11 very "average people" teams? all except the NFL wives, the NFL team mates, Jason and Amy and Ice Crew girls... right?
and TAR 22 had 6-7 average teams, if you don't count the hockey brothers, country singers, youtube hosts, cancer team and even the roller derby moms, who i think are very average?? we had football moms in tar 3 as well and they are average too? so are nicky and kim considered average in your opinion?
not trying to be rude here but i'm just really interested to know what you mean by average (because imo there have been a fair share of really normal teams)... or do you solely mean the need to cast more older teams?
Yea, I'd be talking about no-name people, that haven't been on TV before.
Again, I'm not saying get rid of the athlete teams either, but just cut the number of these teams as well.
If it was up to me, this would be my Dream Cast -
1 Cute/Model M/F Team
1 Older M/F Team
1 Older M/M or F/F Team
1 Athlete / Celeb M/M or F/F Team
Then the rest of the teams made up of Average Joe Teams.
Maybe it's because most the "Average Joe" teams that have been cast recently haven't been all that interesting, or memorable.
Sure we've had Bopper & Mark who's become one of the biggest fan favourite teams in the Post UB seasons, but in 2 or 3 years time who's really gonna remember Tim & Danny, Rowan & Shane, Brendan & Adam or even Matt & Daniel from S22.
I'd consider the Soccer Moms from S3 average, and Nicky & Kim not, but the only reason for that is because Nicky & Kim seemed to talk about being Baseball Wives for quite a lot of the season, and I think they kinda considered themselves more famous then they actually are? Although I do love them, which was extremely surprising because they weren't that likeable at the start of the race.
But honestly, the thing I'd say is the key definition of an Average Joe team, is a team that would change their entire life for the better with $1 Million. I know that every team could change their lives with that amount of money, but I'm talking about teams like Bopper & Mark that could use the money to help their family and improve their standard of living.
Look at Brenchel, they DON'T need that money, I mean Rachel's already won Big Brother, and then you have the likes of Chynona, or Mark & Mallory (Bopper Included), who are total opposite of them and definitely would've benefited greatly from getting the money.
I'd even go as far as saying the Cowboys could do with the money because of Jet getting all his cattle stolen. Only for that I wouldn't be putting the Cowboys on this list.
They also do need to cast more older people.
I'm not sure if I've really explained what I mean by Average Joe that well, but you can let me know if you get me now.
