TAR LATIN AMERICA 6 - LIVE SIGHTINGS, SPOILERS, PICS ETC.
daeys:
To summarize:
Two teams each from Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and México, plus one team from Chile.
One team from Ecuador and one team from Colombia confirmed as having been on reality TV before.
Only one female-female team, two male-male teams, and the rest are male-female couples.
No one in the picture looks older. They all seem young.
There are lots of problems with the casting, and many people have commented in the Facebook groups and pages related to TARLA.
It seems the casting process was a farce: there's NO WAY the casting directors read through applications, watched videos, called people back, had interviews and flew everyone into Ecuador in 18 days.
The application form listed all countries in Latin America, yet they selected only the five biggest markets, plus Ecuador (because of the deal with the local government channel).
I'd love for Brazil to host its own show going forward. The country/market is big enough. If it ran on a non-cable TV channel, it would find an audience, just like Big Brother has become a hit there.
AR FAN:
One of the Mexican teams and the Chilean team both appear to be a father and daughter team. (their in the front left of the picture on Facebook). The guy in the back right hand side is tall, he looks like he could have played professional sports.

"Esta será una edición especial que se realizará exclusivamente en Ecuador"

So that's why they partnered with a local TV station (government owned) in Ecuador: the race won't leave Ecuador.
Makes sense to save money, but how do they expect to draw an audience from countries that have no team and won't be visited?

The race is only in Ecuador??? O_O... They're gonna be walking all the time. (:;)

This is so disappointing... Ecuador is too small to have it's own season.... TARLA 4 exclusively in Brazil was bad enough...
I even feel sorry for the teams selected to be on this... Can you imagine their hopes to travel around latin america?
Canada 1 proved that you can make a race in a single country and it can work... but this are not good news, I' not getting my hopes up, I'm not even gonna look for spoilers, I think I'm just gonna wait to the season to air and TRY to enjoy it because so far I'm disappointed.
