Teams are no longer able to just RACE, they must constantly be aware of their social game as well. I liked it best when teams had their own fate in their own hands, and succeeded or failed solely based on their own choices and decisions.

I agree. But then we can get a cast like TARAuvNZ who work with anyone and turn their backs on anyone at the drop of a hat. lol
So part of it too is casting I guess, it would be great to have teams who don't care about their image and just Race (but not too much *cough*John&Murray*cough*) hehe

Imagine a Season of just John&Murray-Esque Teams! Controversial, but I'd say it would be soooo unpredictable, it would be great!  :lol:
But yea, I agree, I really hope they don't all form Alliance's just to stay in the Race. :groan:
 
Its for this reason teams like John & Murray, and Jet & Cord were great.  They ran their own race. (Even if the majority of fans didn't like them)

dryedmangoez:
It's funny, having just 1 John & Murray is annoying, but having a whole cast full of them would actually be interesting and plenty dramatic, I would think.  Just having teams who are competitive and really are here to win (but of course also to enjoy the Race).  Not teams who are more concerned with making friends in the hopes they won't get U-Turned or need answers in the future.

I just watched all the team intro videos and yeah, the overall sense is teams are very aware of their social game like this is Survivor or BB.  When it shouldn't be.

georgiapeach:
If they want teams to be truly competitive with each other and have less alliances, then the UTurn has to go. It ONLY fosters a "be nice" social game, almost forces a team to make alliances, and takes the power in the race out of a team's own hands...
