casting has been one of the main problems of TARA. in Tara1, they casted a lot of Caucasians. Shouldn't it be all about Asians? Maybe they think those
casted will prove to be more interesting. Based on how it went, it is a forgettable season.
they needed and wanted to redeem their selves for Tara2. Hence, they found applicants that will fit their scripts. Yes, they had a plot for the race that will make it really interesting.
1. they had a person with minor disability, trying to duplicate the support given to Mirna and Charla
2. they included a team that has been used to speaking in front of a camera., M/R, which according to them submitted an obviously scripted video.
3. they had attractive ladies like Paula who can also speak freely infront of the camera.
So the plot/ script was for a team to dominate majority of the leg and not get eliminated early. Which M/R did. And the condition was for the underdogs to win in the final leg to really make it exciting and be talked about for a long time. Even re-runs will be watched by those who missed it because they will want to know how it happened.
You might disagree, but the facts are:
1. M/R knows the system in TV shows and were easier to convince on the necessity in creating excitement in the show rather than simply winning it. Who would want to be in a boring show that people just want to forget about. In show business, being the talked of the town for a long time is half of the success. in the event that they exit before the final leg, then its still an underdog win because they clearly were a lot stronger and more savvy than other racers.
2. 15 flags with mostly Asian in origin, combining and showing to the judge would be quite easy. And it can be done in a few minutes of time. Especially when 1 is your own. that narrows it to 9. So he had to act really well to pretend he doesnt know it.
3. according to a lot of you, writers, newspaper columnist, bloggers, this was one of the best endings. in fact it was labeled as a dream ending with the underdog winning in the end.
4. The editors were really looking for excitement. Having Rov dance in a club and its shown in the editing even if it does not influence the outcome. Also, showing that a jogger runs faster than their bike coupled with their remarks.
But its not that obvious how the script was run. It is still reality tv for the most part.
