CBS TAR 30 CAST REVEAL
theschnauzers:
I am referencing the entire Phil voice over that was only used that first season.
I have a transcription somewhere but I’ll have to find it on my notebook. It might have also have been posted here at some point.

Quite literally!

:lol: Well, it's technically not wrong. They just use cheeky verbiage to make it seem one way without declaring too much.
Technically there are a fair amount of champion teams that make up the cast- the pro eaters, the x-games skiers, the basketball players, the indy racers, the lifeguards, and the debaters all have members of their team who are/were champions/winners in whichever event/competition they competed in.
Heck, even Cody won America's Favorite House Guest on Big Brother- not overall winner, but did manage to get something out of a season where they were the main target of the main house alliance (whether it was deserved or not not-withstanding)
Mix that with the level of fitness of the violinists and the spunky feel of the goat yoga ladies (both of which had to 'compete' with countless other groups/individuals in their field to gain notoriety), and much of the field has an above-average competitive feel when compared to other seasons.
I think the only outliers would be the twins (though one could argue their time in the military + their current occupation would put them in for competitive consideration), and the Ring Girls (I mean, I guess they're in close proximity to competitions on a regular basis- which can help, maybe?).
I don't think that anything they've said is technically a lie- misleading in the way they word things, maybe- but not an outright lie.
