PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

5. "RE: Burnout" |
Even though I'm enjoying this season, I agree that it has been a bit stale. The teams aren't as interesting as in seasons past, and most of the tasks are repeats of previous ideas. My list of things to improve for TAR 10:No alpha-male teams. Was anyone surprised when the two alpha-male teams finished 1-2 for several legs in a row? Cast stronger teams. Before this race started, it was obvious that 6 of the 11 teams had no real chance to win. Teams like the Glamazons, Double D, and Geek Squared may add human interest, but they are guaranteed non-winners and the only suspense is the Philimination order of the weak teams. Come up with tougher tasks. BvM and Elise should watch the DVDs of TAR 1 a few times and come up with more challenging tasks like they had that season. Not all tasks should be difficult, but more of them need to be. Use the Fast Forward and Yield more. A FF every episode was too many, but having 2 for the entire race isn't enough. Same goes for the Yield. And let's skip the Yields on non-elim legs, ok? Resist the urge to do an All-Star season. Part of what makes TAR tick is the interpersonal dynamics within teams and between teams. Bringing back prior racers would remove much of that, leaving us with teams who know each others' reputations and skills. Survivor All-Stars was a dud; let's not repeat that mistake. Continue to visit out-of-the-way places. I enjoy the travelogue aspects of TAR very much and hope they continue to go interesting places. For example, I doubt I will ever go to Oman, but at least I saw a little of it while watching TAR. Put TAR in an earlier time slot, and leave it there for the whole season. 10 pm is too late for this family-friendly show, and moving it around didn't help much. At least CBS didn't run it against American Idol...

>Cast stronger teams. I agree with most your post, but offer this alternative to the proposal above about stronger teams. I say...CAST ALL WEAKER TEAMS!!! HAHA! Before the idea is dismissed, let's think about it...a season with all "GEEK SQUARED" teams might be fun to watch. Building on that, why not just present them with situations and have the TEAMS figure out the challenges. Kinda like MCgyver! HAHA! "Here is a matchstick, a stop watch, and a box of crackers. Now get you and your partner through the Temple of Doom and over the crocodile infested swamp and make yourself a nice sweater out of palm leaves. First team to the pit stop in their new outfit wins!"
