Remove this ad That's TWO seasons in a row that AR is ignoring Alpha Males team, totally. It's so unfair!! So what that they are fit?? At least they are taking care of themselves than those fat lazy coach potatoes. I thought this show wants a diversed cast, well, where's the alpha male team then? And then we have how many f/f teams?? If the show is really that desperated to have female/female team win, why not have the whole beauty pageants racing? That'd guarantee a f/f win! No wonder this show is going downhill.

Yeah, that's it (though in TAR: Asia and TAR: Brazil an alpha team was one of the first few to go). And that was due to mechanical failure. Apart from them, the lowest an alpha-male team finished was 6th (again due to a car crashing). Couples suck and usually make it far, but there are enough who have fallen at the start to make casting them less of a risk - TAR5 was such a smash despite the 4 young couples because 2 of them were the first to go. TAR6 failed because the 4 young couples made up the entire final 4. The lack of funny best friends is a shame, though. Gary/Dave 2.0. for TAR13!

Posts: 452 (10/27/07 11:00 AM) Dept of Redundant Threads Dept Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Well, lots of str8 couples make it far too and many have won, so why cast them?? Why not just cast oldies and f/f teams so that will fulfill AR goal, to have a weak/shitty team winning AR for once? Besides, alot of games now involves puzzles etc...so there's no guarantee that all alpha males will win. If they want to make it more even, try to make the challenges more even, like more games and puzzles etc...instead, they are punishing m/m teams. So a f/f team and a m/m team decide to go for AR audition, the f/f team has 95% chance to make it, the m/m team has no chance, how's that fare?? Why don't AR just post while calling for audtion, all people welcome except m/m team?

Remove this ad Well, lots of str8 couples make it far too and many have won, so why cast them?? I already explained that - they have never finished lower than 4th place without car trouble. Couples have always finished randomly (and they did react to the TAR6 couples overload - with the misfire of TAR:Family). If anything, the number of athletic male teams is disproportionate to the number of guys with average (or worse) physiques, but no-one complains about that. I'd agree they should try to make the challenges more even - I think they genuinely tried to do that in TAR9 with all the luck tasks, but it wasn't enough (especially since the Hippies and Eric/Jeremy got so much good luck along the way). TAR4, TAR10 and a lesser extent TAR6 were so physical that it was practically impossible to do well without being physically fit.

The only alpha male teams that ever made good television were: 1. Derek/Drew because they were cast before TAR became a mactor fest, so the fact that they were models was actually kind of neat, and they had interesting interactions with the other teams. 2. Brian/Greg because, despite being mactors, were actually funny and entertaining. I can't think of anyone else.

I understand not having any alpha males...but couldn't we have at least gotten ONE good looking male? That's all I ask. At least one good looking guy every season.

Well, whoever's entertaining or not, it's personal opinions....not all f/f are fun to watch either. So why do they always have f/f team? As I said, if the show wants to push for weaker teams to win, they should change the challenges, instead, they are punishing the m/m contestants because formal m/m teams are good at this game?? And what's so good if a f/f win this shit when all of their competitors are either weak or old? This is almost like Tiger Wood is not allowed to play big golf tournaments, so that other weak players have a chance to win. So what whoever wins it if there's no tough competitors around?
