CBS says ‘no’ to smarter, older contestants on reality TV shows
NMC:
I think this is one of the WORST things I've ever heard! )-**
Some of my all time favourite teams are older couples, e.g Bill & Cathi, Fran & Barry, Bob & Joyce, Terri & Ian
Or teams with one half being older like Nick & Don, Ron & Christina, Mel & Mike, Steve & Allie.. I could go on and on.
I wouldn't really consider Chuck & Wynona an "older" team, as they're not over 50 - to my knowledge ??? But I did love them too :hearts:
It's always been amazing watching the older teams out wit, and finish ahead of younger, more athletic teams, there's no way CBS can take this away from us! Is there? :(

Well this would explain a lot. The only older contestants we've had of late were parents like Sheri and Denise. CBS is out of touch with its fans
NELs:
Why would they do this. The older contestants are what made the show good. Meredith & Gretchen and Fran & Barry are my favorite grandparent teams. They are also fan favorites. They need to listen to their fans more. Stop casting perfectly fit people onto the race. We want to see unfit people running the race again. While they might not make it far or surprise us like Meredith & Gretchen, they are fun to watch. This is why we have been lacking diversity in teams lately. This needs to stop and the show needs to cast them again
