Ugh so this was pretty much my nightmare cast for this season. I don't mind the recency bias with Ben, Wendell and Nick (though really one of the three could have been dropped), but that list of men is so "more of the same" with Rob, Tyson, Tony AND Jeremy that we've seen over and over, yet missing the guys I really wanted to see a second time, like Fabio, Todd, Earl, and my personal pick for best game ever played, Chris D. However, I'm happy to see Ethan back and healthy enough to play. I'd be very happy to see him win TBQH.
So it seems like they had a hard time filling the men? Unless they come out and say differently this is what had been said: Chris D failed his physical. Todd was in and backed out. Adam apparently replaced him. Idk what the deal is with Fabio. Couple of my favorites that didnt make it Earl just had a baby very premature I would also be afraid to go play. Not sure if Jeremy belongs in the Rob/Tyson/Tony grouping.
I too am very excited for Ethan. Give me one of Ben/Wendell/Nick replaced with one of the guys you mentioned or Hatch I would be very very happy.
That being said the women on this cast are awesome I very very happy with them. I had Tina over Amber BUT I never in my wildest dream thought they would have Rob and Amber so I didnt even think to have her on there. ---
