CBS TAR 30 CAST REVEAL
gamerfan09:
I truly hope this cast is full of trainwrecks just so we can see the "most competitive" label hilariously backfire <3

That would be fun. But would they really be promoting the season like that after already knowing how it all turns out.
Then again, this wouldn't be the first time Phil and the show has hyped up seasons and teams using certain descriptions only for them to end up completely different. lol
DavidJunior:
You gotta remember that most of that Phil promo was at the Starting Line- before the race started
He wouldn’t know how the race actually shook out at that point, but production would still use it as good promo to hype the season regardless if it ended up being accurate
dryedmangoez:
Well, they can't change Phil's Starting Line spiels, but the press releases and posts all say "Made up of champions and winners, this is quite literally the most competitive cast yet."
Quite literally!

Really? But the people in early seasons were complete nobodies, and here we have people recognizable in their fields. As Phil said - the best of the best in what they do, which I wouldn't be able to say about any other season's cast.

If you notice, I said nothing specifically about competitiveness or best of the best, just that production seems to be avoiding cookie cutter casting and selecting teams that meet what Phil described in the opening credits of season one. That’s something I’ve been calling for over multiple seasons in order to revive the strengths of the show, in addition to the route and tasks issue that had gotten severe for a while.

What did Phil describe in the opening credits of season 1? I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to...
