Ugh.
I don't care about who are participating in the race, imo, if you're a true fan of a show you'll keep up with it in its highs and lows. I despised JD of TAR 27 , But that didn't mean I boycotted the entire season. TAR 29 Had such a bland cast (actually they did get more interesting by the end) and such stupidly boring tasks, and I hated it. But still I watched it. It bored me, but I still watched it.
The crux of my opinion is that I hope everybody actually watches TAR 32 regardless of whether it has a gimmick or not, with an open mind and a tolerant heart. Believe me, I think the theme behind TAR 31 is so cringeworthy, but it's not enough for me to break down and whine "OMG! Such a stupid cast! I hate it! I'm never gonna watch TAR again!". I'm still gonna go into the season looking forward to new set of locations with tough tasks and a fun set of episodes. Period.
Now, back to discussing about the pre-race media... which I believe has come to a total standstill? Not heard/seen from L. Spillman's social media so far.
