I'm not down with the stunt casting. There was enough of it in season 5 - I want to watch REGULAR PEOPLE race, not these quasi-celebs.

Also, I want to see the Yield banished, but that's another thread

 

[Escape Goat]

Haha, he's so qualified for the race that that team will probably lose in round 1.

Hah @ Team 6.

 

[Memles]

I don't see any direct stuntcasting...mind you, most of these teams were picked through LA Casting agencies and many of them in bars in the LA area, but at the same time I think they just have a lot more couples now. Less alpha male and all female teams, more mixed.

Considering all male teams have won 3/5 races thus far, a smart move.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "stuntcasting", how about, enough with the casting agencies & friends-of-ex-racers-or-other-reality-shows? Why bother having an open casting call at all?

 

[Kiriku]

Haha, team 2 could be entertaining.

 

[Fifty]

#2 looks like it might turn out great....Look at what's on his head! My favorite team from the past shows was John Vito and Jill....These people kind of remind me of them

#1 and #4 win the hot chick awards.

The woman in the first team,Victoria Fuller, has indeed appeared in Playboy.
