starvenger Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Yep, we're back to 11 teams of two. CBS posted the cast list and here are some quick thoughts: Names: BJ Averell (26, Online Tutor, Los Angeles, CA) and Tyler MacNiven (25, Filmmaker, San Francisco, CA) Relationship: Best friends Must... kill... hippies... Names: Scott Braginton-Smith (41, Sales, West Harwich, MA) and John Lowe (38, Wealth Manager, Dorchester, MA) Relationship: Life-long friends George Lopez and William Mapother team up for the Race. Names: Yolanda Brown-Moore (27, Science Teacher, Chicago, IL) and Ray Whitty (31, Attorney, Chicago, IL) Relationship: Dating Ray looks... intense. Names: Monica Cayce (23, Student, Fayetteville, AK) and Joseph Meadows (23, Homebuilder, Fort Smith, AK) Relationship: Dating Based on Monica's looks alone, Joseph is one lucky bastard. Michelle (36, Homemaker) and Lake (37, Dentist) Garner (Hattiesburg, MS) Relationship: Married Parents Final Three potential Names: Joni Glaze (44, Children's Minister, Katy, TX) and Lisa Hinds (48, Realtor/Artist, Santa Rosa Beach, FL) Relationship: Sisters First out, I hope. Names: Fran (61, Retired Accountant) and Barry (63, Retired Physician) Lazarus (Silverthorne, CO) Relationship: Married 40 years Awesome last name. Will probably do better than I'd expect. Names: Wanda Lopez-Rochford (44, Corporate Trainer, Smyrna, GA) and Desiree Cifre (24, Writer, New York, NY) Relationship: Mother and Daughter Parent/Sibling teams never do well. Desiree's cute though. Names: Jeremy Ryan (26, Valet, Fort Lauderdale, FL) and Eric Sanchez (27, Waiter, Fort Lauderdale, FL) Relationship: Friends Probably most likely to win. Names: Dani Torchio and Danielle Turner (22, Recent College Graduates, Staten Island, NY) Relationship: Childhood Friends Nice racks. Not looking forward to the Long Island accents though. Names: Lori Willems (25, Pizza Hut Manager, Manhattan, KS) and David Spiker (30, Musician, Manhattan, KS) Relationship: Dating I take that back. These two will be the first out.
Slayer Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Kansas (and specifically KSU) gets representation in TAR... and that's what we have to show for it
Lord of The Curry Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Scott and John win the "Most Likely to Give In to Gay Urges" award for this edition.
muzz Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 "The men differ in that John admits to being to controlling at times where Scott is not controlling at all." Probably.
CanadianChris Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Ray looks... intense. Ray doesn't look awake enough to look intense. I can't believe anyone would publicize the fact that they're an assistant manager at a Pizza Hut.
starvenger Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Posted January 31, 2006 I can't believe anyone would publicize the fact that they're an assistant manager at a Pizza Hut. Slayer, what can you tell us about Manhattan, Kansas?
Slayer Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 Glad you asked, starvenger! ...actually I have no idea what you want to know. I did live there for a year in the late 90's (while attending KSU, of course), so I can tell you nearly anything you want to know.
Guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 Someone from LA, and he's paired with a guy from SF, and he has to be a hippie. Oh well, I'll watch as usual.
starvenger Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Posted February 2, 2006 Glad you asked, starvenger! ...actually I have no idea what you want to know. I did live there for a year in the late 90's (while attending KSU, of course), so I can tell you nearly anything you want to know. Well, for one, does every local male there look like Scott Keith? Kidding. Just want to know what the atmosphere of the town is like. Suburban, small town, big city... that sort of thing.
CanadianChris Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 Every ad for the show is stressing that there will be teams OF TWO. They're trying to brainwash the public into forgetting that Family Edition ever happened.
Slayer Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 Just want to know what the atmosphere of the town is like. Suburban, small town, big city... that sort of thing. Eclectic mix of midwest farm town and college community. That's the best way to describe it

KingPK Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Bumping since the premiere is tomorrow night. Finally, something to actually WATCH on Tuesday nights!
Lord of The Curry Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 I'm stoked on the NYC sluts already.
naiwf Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 I'm stoked on the NYC sluts already. I've seen the one on the right in their profile quite a few times. Sadly, I was always with my then girlfriend at the time so I was never allowed to gawk the way I will once the show begins. There's no way they can win unless CBS is conspiring to only allow hot chicks named Danni/Dani/Danielle to succeed this year. My guess for first elimination is the black duo since that theory that the lone black representives always dies first works in the movies.

MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Two hippies from SF, one of them named BJ. I couldnt stop laughing.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 So far, this is the most likable group of teams. The two dudes (Eric and Jeremy) are hilarious. The Hippies great. Jo and Monica are great just in relation to the hippies. The New York Blondes offer some nice eye candy. Dag Gummit.
Hank Kingsley Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Puerto Rican daughter's cute, but go hippies.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 I forgot about the hot daughter. Dag Gummit.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 "Are you really about to cry?" This guy. Is. AWESOME. The look on his face. So much disgust and disbelief.
starvenger Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Posted March 1, 2006 Gratuitous plug I had no idea George Lopez and William Maptholer were gay. Danny and Oswald gay, not Reichen and Chip gay
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 This is what they _need_ to have: The Hippies bringing a lil bit of their herbal flavour to the show, and then the Frat boys joining them and then the nerds joining them and then the old folk joining them.

Nickname update: Eric and Jeremy - Frat Boys BJ and Tyler - Hippies Danielle and Dani - Double D Lisa and Joni - the Cougars Monica and Joseph - MoJo Lori and David - Nerds Good opener, but then, aren't they all? John and Scott could've been the new Cha Cha Cha, but sadly, they weren't even close. No "villains" emerged yet, but I'm still rooting for the Frat Boys to win, if only to hear about how they blew the money in "Star Weekly"...
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 The last two teams I wanted to both lose. "OH MY GAAA-WWWD" I want them dead. Ok, not dead. Just off my TV. Yeah, maybe that's a lil mellower. Can we not acknowledge the MoJo name? They have fucking T-shirts dedicated to it..
KingPK Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Thoughts: - Ahh, people from Arkansas trying to speak Spanish. I missed this greatly. - Desiree's got a Katie Holmes-Jessica Alba latina combo deal going. Me like. - The "Glamazons" are this year's Weavers to me. SOOO fucking annoying. They deserved to beat the Massholes though; they never got it going. - Double D's are cute, but WAY too fucking tanned. - I agree that there are a whole lot more likeable teams than unlikeable ones this season, which is very good. The hippies are tolerable and the nerds are a cute couple (though I'm expecting David to yell out "BONZO GONZO!" any time now). - Lake is Colin without the awesomeness.

Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 My thoughts: I'm sitting there watching the show with my folks, and for two straight hours, we are sitting there saying "Those two have to be gay" when it comes to Scott and John for about two hours. If they aren't, get them an agent, because they play the part well. GET THOSE AMAZONS OFF MY DAMN TV! FOR GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD's SAKES! When Ray turned around to those guys when the guys were checking his girl out, I was laughing my ass off. He looked like he was gonna kill one of them. The Hippies are my favorite team. End of story. How can you not like them? Nerds have to be second. Dad: "Are they brother and sister? They look so much alike." Double D's... I have a feeling that the mother/daughter team here will do much better than all the ones in the past. They seem to have everything together right now. Of course, anything can happen in the next leg. Great way to start out. Can't wait for next week.
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Lisa and Joni - the Cougars Team Scream.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Team Praise Jesus For Everything. For the big gals. I liked Ken and Barbie for Sephica.
