TAR 30: Bitch, Moan, Squeal Here! (possible spoilers)
ianthebalance:
I don't think you can blame casting for women not doing well this season.

You get their opening intro where they pretty much say they're there to be eye candy ("we're going to use our looks to get ahead"). 21 to 25 we had that team archetype of "matching blonde women".
We appear to have had more of the right type this season, women with athletic backgrounds, and they're still looking like the first boots at this point. So I don't know what to say :(
A thing I can't understand with the US version, too, is why they seem hesitant to cast lesbian couples. Even in 26, the love season, they didn't take that perfect opportunity and cast 2 male gay teams.

You are on point here. We did have women with athletic backgrounds and still they flopped. That remains a mystery ??? There were women who were pretty but did strong in the past. Beauty Queens Dustin & Kandice and Home Shopping Hosts Brooke & Claire, Former NFL Cheerleaders Jaime & Cara. I'd add Doctors Nat & Kat as well. The only thing that I'm banking on is at least one of them gets through or has not been seen yet but it looks dim already.

To be fair, the F/F team slaughter, though not pretty, does not necessarily mean a bad season :P Look at TAR29!
That said, it's embarrassing how much the all-female teams have faltered since TAR25 ended lol. Production needs to cast stronger ones.

Think its more of they cast too many M/M teams this season atleast even it out , i mean the violenist and the indy and the basketball teams are gonna be hard to get out. I pray Jody can take them out one by one. :conf:

There's too much Alpha M/M Teams in this season.

Oh yuck France again!
WE SAW IT IN SEASON 28 WAS WHY AGAIN! :groan:
Oh well, at least it hasn't gone to the same city...

As long as there's no high-altitude leg (which are awful most of the time), I'm okay with the France visit since at least its a new area :lol:
