TAR 28: Marty Cobb & Hagan Parkman – Viral Video Sensation/Mother-Daughter
RaceUntilWeDie:
Take out the "Video Sensation" part of this team and they seem like the cute mother/daughter duo you'd find in the early seasons. I love that. They're the most normal (because they're [one of] the least famous--funnily, MARTY is the only one I recognized from this cast :lol: ) of the cast and it definitely shows.

I don't have the link to the article on-hand, but apparently these two were supposed to be cast for TAR23 or 25 and were castes by Jodi (TAR14).

A: “They actually contacted us. A girl who is now one of the casting directors was a flight attendant with Southwest and was on Season 15 with another flight attendant for Southwest. She actually contacted me last year or about a year and a half ago, and I couldn’t do it then. They called again and asked us to do it, and I thought, ‘You know what, I’m not getting any younger, and if I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it now.’ They asked us to do it, which was such an honor.”

This explains a lot. They seem a LITTLE out of place in this season. But having a viral video makes sense for this season.
Platrium:
This team had so much potential. They just weren't lucky enough to be on the top of the pack. :( Their mistake really cost them the race, but I hope to see this team back if possible. :torche

Agreed. :(
