Ok, so there is sad trend in last seasons (it began in TAR27 and then got worse) of female teams being eliminated early in the race and not placing higher than 7th.
TAR27 - 11th, 8th, 4th
TAR28 - 11th, 9th, 8th
TAR29 - 10th
TAR30 - 11th, 10th, 3rd
TAR31 - 9th, 8th, 7th
TAR32 -
, 8th,
Out of 16 female teams in last 6 seasons, only 2 or 3 (depending on how far asian FF team'll make it) made it to 6th or higher place.
There is also another trend of allafroamerican teams being eliminated early in the race in last seasons.
TAR25 - 7th
TAR26 - 10th
TAR27 - 9th, 8th
TAR28 - 10th
TAR30 - 9th
TAR32 - 2 teams who didn't place better than 8th
I feel that casting needs to cast F/F's in the likes of Dustin & Kandice, Brooke & Claire, Nat & Kat, Kisha & Jen, Kym & Alli and Kristi & Jen.
The common denominator of these F/F's is that they have the athletic abilities combined with brains.
I would consider Amy & Maya and Tiffany & Krista as well. While they may be perceived as underdogs, their enthusiasm and determination is something to take note of.
They want to make it till the end as they want to break stereotypes of scientists and cheerleaders respectively.
