TARC9 DISCUSSION OF THE CONTESTANTS

<< < (14/15) > >>

Maanca:
Thank goodness Team Drag Race's full team photo wasn't those Black Lives Matter shirts with a blood pattern that they wore in the back photos. I was worried it might violate some ToS on the Amazing Race Fandom to use.

Travejunkie:
Pretty disappointed in the casting this season.  They seem to favour minor celebrities/trauma survivors/people who have made the news over normal people.  Just because you have a sad backstory doesn't necessarily make you an interesting person.

Have to agree. This easily feels like the most TARUS-style cast Canada ever had, a lot of them have prior notoriety/fans and were undoubtedly recruited to bring new eyes in (the problem with that model is those viewers only tend to stay as long as their team does).

I'd been predicting a Broncos survivor the last 2 seasons, Gail and Gisele are big-name athletes, and Kimora and Starzy are probably there because former producer Mike Bickerton now works on Canada's Drag Race.

It's funny because there is a pair of Canada's Drag Race contestants (Miss Fiercalicious and Kimmy Couture) who did apply for the show yet weren't cast.

What makes me think that is how heavily they've been promoted already in the two days since they were announced.
