That is part of it. There is only so many slots available to win such prizes with such good odds.If all things are even, you odds of winning is 10-1 to at worse 15-1, you don't get those odds playing the lottery.
So the rest of us would love to be on a show for the experience and/or the money resent people who get onto show after show and thus preventing other (us) getting out.
Personally, I am now too old. But when TAR first started I would have loved to go on the show, the countries to go, things they get see and do. I would love it.
Notice, I do travel, I have been to about 15 countries over the last 10 years but my funds are limited so many of the activities I see them do I can not afford. Other things are cheaper but need you to know details before you can do them.
I wished I could do TAR.
I agree with ECP. And in addition, they were really idiotic, self-deceiving, bullying, and in general hateful on BB. They were the villains. It started with his brooding brutish behavior, then she allied with him and became his girl friend, and thus became an enabler. So my view of him and of her is a continuation of personal feelings from the earlier show.
But, so far they've been better behaved on TAR. I'd even give them credit for the Gnome gambit even though it does give us a glimpse into their mentality. This time though I think that taking advantage of another teams FU is acceptable, apparently she just set the gnome down and didn't try and steal or conceal it.
