This was one of the weaker seasons. I hope for more compelling personalities on season 14.
I totally agree. There wasn’t a single outlandish or exciting team in the entire bunch. Probably the worst season other than Family Edition.
Nick and Starr were too “perfect”. The show shouldn’t cast any bland, perfect, rosy-cheeked pairs like them. They should only cast only bizarre squabbling weirdos, because let’s face it, they make it interesting! I don’t see the benefit in casting people as perfect as Nick and Starr. Or alternatively, they should cast ONLY really athletic perfect teams. Anything to make it more interesting.
