CBS says ‘no’ to smarter, older contestants on reality TV shows

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

Guess for TAR they want those body types who will look good in the swimsuits a la Survivor and Big Brother, that's the sense I got of TAR27's first leg. Something about Bill & Cathi in Brussels must have made them decide "never again" :P

They can do a gimmick for this. :hides At least they'll all be even by then.
Perhaps it's "smarter, older" they're saying no to, and not "stronger, older." ???
Elderly teams are memorable, and I miss them.

Bill & Cathi were studly! :clap2: Heck, they are one of the strongest teams in my book. Older teams make the race interesting! Who would have assumed they would have gotten all the way to Brussels to take on the Ford testing grounds, bodybuilding competition, and own up to a Double U-Turn?

So what does that mean? TAR31 is all young people? Or TAR31 is all old and smart people?
