You already know what you yourself are like. This is exactly why the show works and why it keeps winning awards. It doesn't have to go for stunt casting or create drama normal people do this on their own all the time when they travel. I have been very lucky to have met a lot of the former racers and they are all very normal people who just got a chance of a lifetime to be on TAR. How could I have forgotten about the Aiellos who were such a great casting choice

Yay for light kids being in the jeep instead of heavy adults!

They didn't find the mobile home and Stassi was cried. Leg 4 of TAR8 was a 36-hour pit stop. http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/topic/31023 Admins (Anti, Zeep, SurvivorLDog93 and Slip), Please help me to adjust my post count starting this month. I want it now!!!

They're all great people. In fact, it's not a knock on the character of anyone. I just think that, as entertainment, the casting and location was "off" somehow on Season 13.

Still, I was ready for the divorcees to leave when they did, but I was disappointed when Terrance and Sarah got eliminated. But that kind of disappointment happens every season! Which locations were "off", Sir Brian?

I think they spent too long in places that were too similar. Salvador, Fortaleza, and Le Paz were good legs if you viewed them individually - but they kinda dragged on because they were all general "South American Cities." Obviously, the two legs in New Delhi also felt this way, as did the Kazakhstan/Moscow/Moscow combo. TAR 12 had 5 legs in Europe, but they were dissimilar enough (AND broken up by trips to Ougodougo) that it didn't get monotonous. So it kinda dragged. That's really how I felt about it. Had those legs been a bit more mixed up, I think I would have enjoyed it more. I would have gone, at least, Kazakhstan/New Dehli/New Dehli/Moscow/Moscow.
