It's TAR-season-that-shall-not-be-named, but reversed. :-[
But hey, it's an official MLS stadium, not a complete sham.
RachelLeVega:
And there we have it, the final leg! This would've been the perfect excuse to fall somewhere completely off the grid instead of Los Angeles County for the...
Hopefully, they crafted up ideas that continue to make L.A. feel fresh, open up our impressions and misconceptions about the area, but I'm not enthusiastic about the finale route in particular.

I wish this cast had less people who’ve been on talk shows :groan:

It's obviously different from Survivor and Big Brother since TAR is primarily ability, skill, and luck, rather than outsmarting your competition, but I'm certainly not looking forward to the optics of a Europe-only race where almost every single POC in this diverse cast is likely eliminated by the finale.
Also not too high on this cast either. A majority of them are people you could hear about while watching random Daytime TV reruns. Now I'm not someone who will knock on the show for recruiting people. Just look at TAR32. Three of the best teams of the season (IMO) who were not in the alliance were all recruits (Michelle & Victoria, Kaylynn & Haley, DeAngelo & Gary). TAR29 was a very recruit heavy season and that season still absolutely ruled.
But TAR33's cast almost feels like TAR28-lite, and the weird four Starting Line Airports at the start of the season did not help quiet that comparison. It also doesn't help that the one stuntcast I actually knew and was excited to watch on this season most certainly did not return to the 2021 restart, as they had already broken up.
I hate to sound like the rabid "cast REAL PEOPLE" crowd on Facebook that are also busy spouting awful rhetoric about "KEEP YOUR POLITICS OUT OF MY REALITY TV", but just by looking at our cast the two teams I get the most good vibes from (that go far) are not any of the stuntcasts. It is Raquel & Cayla and Arun & Natalia, two teams who don't appear to have any claim to fame this season. Really hoping the rest can provide good TV and all this complaining is a moot point.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited TAR will be back, and it's obviously no small feat that the show can now officially add "survived a global pandemic" to its rocky and exciting journey on the air. I am also very excited to have a season where we don't know a majority of what happens. I just wish we had a better route and am hoping that this season is still fun in spite of my concerns. Really hoping that the 33 resumption was just a pilot run for a post-COVID TAR and I'm certainly hoping 34 will be better.
I ♥ TAR:

Isn't Raquel latina?
Both FF teams mentioned were regular people who just happened to be recruited, imo. They are not typical gimmick recruits like singing cops or YouTube parents.
