for those who watch other versions of the race from other countries- do they have all this alliance crap? I ask because I got to wondering- we see the alliance as a product of Big Brother and Survivor (CBS shows) and even so far as that one season with contestants from those shows. Is it that the American version gets cast in a CBS reality slanted way and emphasizes the CBS alliance reality show style or have all the Race versions morphed into this? If CBS, either thru casting or editing, is driving this alliance business on the American version, it could explain a lot.
Will and James- the race has always had bold personalities that play to the camera. Will and James for me, fall into the category of "I want to be a reality TV personality". This season has felt like an audition for a future gig.
