Topic: TAR 35 (formerly called 36): Bitch, Moan & Squeal Here! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS!*

[Kiwi Jay]

Honestly I like the first half of the route. I always really like Thailand, excited for new city of Can Tho, and I always like the desert/semi-arid areas of India

My only preference would have been to visit a fourth country in Asia within the first six legs. If they had just popped down to Malaysia or Singapore for one of the double legs, frankly, it would be a superb route. Instead, it is very good, but not quite great. I have no doubt we are in for a great season though.

Also - the second leg in Thailand is outside Bangkok. It will be in the Nakhon Pathom province about an hour west of the capital. So technically that is a new area visited also.

I am thrilled with casting - finally we have age diversity and physicality of all 'shapes and sizes' again after the 20s had quite generic casting. As for the three MM potentially in final four, I don't mind it given who the MM teams are, but I would say that I hope WRP/CBS recognises that 37 should have more FF teams than MM. It hardly ever happens and I don't understand why. Ideally, I'd love to see 5 FF, 5 MF, 3 MM next season.

S.5 had 3 FF and 1 MM or doesn't it count ? AND  I think will find more seasons if we start researching.. I think producers get alot of flak ,but we all should be kind.

What do you mean doesn't it count? I said it hardly ever happens, I didn't say it never happens.

For your information - of 36 seasons filmed, 20 have had more MM than FF, 10 have had an even number of MM and FF, and only 6 have had more FF than MM (one of which is your conveniently aforementioned season 5).

They need to cast more all-female teams in general. They also need to have more seasons where the number of all-female teams is higher.

End of.

I think you have your answer, a season with more FF doesn't always mean an FF will win, otherwise will have 6ff winners  . I think casting should concentrate on the abilities that tend to get a win mostly, otherwise 37 may be yet another season where we get more FF with an Mf winner,  no hate..peace

No hate back, just entirely disagree with your sentiments.

We've had 3 FF teams win the race. Two have done so on one of those six seasons that had more FF than MM. Only one (Kisha & Jen) did so otherwise. Speaks for itself again. Seasons with more FF teams than MM are more likely to allow for a FF team to win.

Bottom line is, if 20 seasons can have more MM teams than FF (some by 2-3 more as well!) then we should definitely have more than 6 in comparison.

I wonder what production is doing this season in order to get away with virtually zero sightings this season. Hats off to them I guess

IRELAND

Wow!

European legs never disappoint us this season!

[BourkieBoy]

As one of Australia's 7 million Irish Catholics and having my great-grandparents immigrate from Ireland to Australia in the late 1930's, I'm super, super, super excited for this penultimate leg! Ireland (especially Dublin!) is just such a beautiful country and we should have seen more of it by this point in the TAR franchise!

Please do Dublin justice TAR!

[Xoruz]

Finally! How long have we asked for Dublin?

[TARFansurvivor]

Finally! How long have we asked for Dublin?

For ages! Iam so happy if we finally gets Dublin, cool country and city to have final 4 

[Maanca]

Called it! Finally a return to Ireland <3

Hopefully no donkeys involved this time 

[Beat!]

Ireland! 24 seasons later at last.
Gotta say, the route seems very interesting. We will see eventually how the execution is handled.

[mshortle1996]

FINALLY! A LEG IN DUBLIN!

Let's hope this leg is better than Season 12's first leg.


Fun fact: Teams don't have to clear customs in the United States because Ireland has US Preclearance.

With the information that Steve/Anna were probably eliminated in Dublin, here are the demographics of the final 3 teams in the 30s:

MM teams: 10 (Tyler/Korey, Leo/Jamal, Will/James, Madison/Riley, Ryan/Dusty, Cesar/Ricky, Shane/Juan, Corey/Rob, Joel/Garrett, John/Greg)

MF Teams: 8 (Henry/Evan, Jessica/Cody, Colin/Christie, Hung/Chee, Kim/Penn, Derek/Claire, Michelle/Luis, Rod/Leticia)

FF Teams: 3 (Kristi/Jen, Raquel/Cayla, Emily/Molly)

[rtvguy5750]

lmfao i hope this wakes production up to the fact they need to stop casting M/Ms all the time lol

[Maanca]

Looking like TARUS may indeed have its first all-MM final 3. The final leg will tell.

[Jjw26]

Phil was heard at the pit stop by a source saying "this is the first time we had an all male final 3"

[cole1024]

Season 37 NEEDS to have no more than 3 MM teams. 5 FF teams, 5 MF teams, and 3 MM teams would be good. Pull a TAR 12 or TAR 25 lol

[I ♥ TAR]

Phil was heard at the pit stop by a source saying "this is the first time we had an all male final 3"

I am worried they are considering this as accomplishment.

Probably not. It's just part of the host's job to highlight when "firsts" happen, even if this isn't really one to be proud of.

[ZBC Company]

I am filled with great enthusiasm.

[Kiwi Jay]

Once more, as I said above, I hope 37 has 6 FF, 4 MF and at maximum 3 MM.

It took five seasons to have an entire MF final. It’s now taken 36 to have a fully MM final (and thank god at least it’s a varied final 3 with a deaf father (49) and his son (27), two men who are 40+, and black brothers in their 20s).

Hopefully this sees them casting more FF teams in future.

[Traveldude1]

This is the first time in 36 seasons where the entire Final 3 is all M/M and people are already complaining? Cry me a river, when most of the recent seasons have been won by couples

[Joberio]

I'd rather see couples win.  At least in those cases, one woman is on the winning team.

[Avid]

   Bravo to the first black mm to reach the finale in 18 seasons . Hope they win . Congrats  on the finalists for making HIS -TORY .....

[Avid]

I feel like it will be an all male finale.. I predict it will be an all male finale  . If this is a physical race like last season.

I was RIGHT, 

but I expected it to be the fit guys not men in their 60s ...Maybe they were uturned early ,I don't know, cant wait to watch 36 to figure it out
