Casting...What kind of cast would you LEAST like to see?? Please VOTE!
Wanna Bee:
This is a terrible idea! Why would they want to take a show that traditionally casts for diversity and then narrow it down to one type of racing team? It would only make it harder to get to know the teams in the early episodes, since the relationships are ALL "dating couples" or "family members" or whatever...
I suppose the idea of an all dating couples season could, in theory, provide more drama and conflict. But who really wants to 11 teams bickering at each other? Half the fun of this show is watching the differences between teams who can't pull it together and teams who are firing on all cylinders.
I voted in the poll above, but i think one-dimensional casting could really kill this show. Blood vs. Water was a brilliant idea for Survivor, and I'm sure TAR can come up with something equally creative. This idea is NOT it.
Dånooky:
"Romance vs. Bromance" could be a good theme though, pitting teams with romantic relationships vs. those in platonic ones
albiegato:
The theme I would want to see is a "Veterans VS Newbies" type, 6 teams of each? Also the veterans, hopefully, could come from early seasons too...
I really don't want an all-Couples season. They already have a dry run with it in Season 6, casting 7 couples in one season? And as diverse as the archetypes of all of them are, and as entertaining the bickering between couples are, those fights always gets tedious to watch and petty as the season wore on.
Besides, I don't think "Dating couples" is not the best name for it. Couples could be engaged, broken up, newlyweds, and married for a long time. Also peach, why did you put the married couples in the family bracket? They're still couples, such as Jonathan & Victoria who were married during the season. And even though married couples could still be parents, their dynamic is still much much closer to a couple's because of the romance.
db_ohno:
I would kind of like to see something different, maybe a random team season? Bring in all new people that don't know each other and pair them up by random draw. Maybe have a challenge where you can choose a new teammate......
Maybe I am just in Big Brother mode right now.....

Completely agree that Married Couples should be a part of "dating couples" rather than family.
