That would be the absolutely worst. I agree, the very essence of TAR is teams of two testing and using their pre-existing relationships to the world together on an adventure with a possible $1 million cherry on top at the end.

Besides, only the most bitter of people would have no one else in their lives they'd want to run the race with. One thing I'd love is if the producers saved one slot for a team chosen by viewers.

Oh sheet, I misread the poll question (before reading all the posts) and voted for family..... I thought it was a pick for the best option at first, the one I'd least want to see is definitely couples. And I thought, "why the heck do so many people want to see an all-dating-couples season" :lol: I'm already disappointed by the amount of daters being cast each season.... More unique combinations please.
A really interesting discussion going on here :colors And it really makes me wanna watch TAR 25 NOW. :lol:

Maybe I am just in Big Brother mode right now.....

Hmm, that would either work really well, or be a complete trainwreck like Mark & Mallory. Watching them was really sad, but what if they brought all returnees and THEN mixed the teams? ??? With a chance to reunite with your partner further on, if you both make it.
However this is just a wild idea I just came up with, don't think it would ever happen... and unsure if it should. ???

Help me out here if I'm wrong - under your logic, marriage equals dating?
I honestly could not care how stable the relationship is pre-race and during the race. I just want interesting teams.

Well if you look at couple teams, what separates dating and married couples is the ceremony and the marriage certificate. And what about engaged couples? Where do they fall under? Also there are couples that have been together for so long that they are basically married, but has never undergone a wedding of some sort so they are not married. Also what about dating couples that have kids? What category does that fall under? Just because the Family Edition had married couples as part of the 4-man team, doesn't mean they are a family team once they're just a duo. I'm just saying what is wrong about putting married couples in the family category, especially since we are most likely never going to see a season w/ teams of more than 2 members. And besides, isn't marriage a romantic entanglement and not a familial link?
Honestly we're better off redoing the poll since some voters have misread the question. :)
