TAR 5 Casting spoiler.... Don't say I didn't warn you.

[TAR4 ATC Dave]

...because last time there were five male/male teams and only two female/female teams.

And five male/male teams is bad how?

5 male/male teams are bad because I would figure that most of the 18-35 year olds are male. Needs to be more eye candy

Anyway - male/male has won 3 of the four times. And the fourth was a male dragging a girl kicking and screaming across the finish line.

"NO ZACH! I DON'T WANT TO FINISH THE RACE AND I DON'T CARE WE'RE GOING TO WIN! I'M QUITTING RIGHT NOW!"

I could totally picture her doing that, too.

The previous promo had a two-guy team, but it looks like they may be the only ones. This list has 3 all women teams and 8 man/woman teams. This is quite a change over previous seasons when 3 of 4 races were won by young alpha male teams.

Hell, I don't even want to watch if there isn't a young alpha male team.

Hell, I don't even want to watch if there isn't a young alpha male team.

But my biggest issue with the casting has been the increase of male contestants and all male teams, and the decline of all female teams and female contestants. Maybe TPTB got a little smarter in casting when they realized every year the young alpha male team won (except for TAR3 when the twins came in fourth.) It looks like there's going to be a diverse group this year.

But it is nice to have a young alpha male to just look at
