The show has never been THIS Cali-centric. Usually there will be two or three show-biz-wannabe-bartenders from LA, and then the rest will be from scattered points around the country. Geographic diversity makes for a better show in my opinion, because it means you are more likely to get culture clash. Culture clash makes good TV.
Also I admit to identifying with, and rooting for, contestants with Southern accents. I suspect I am not alone. Hard for me to identify with California mixologists.
I would be happy with either of the spoilered All-Star lists. They both sound like a good mix.
I dunno, do we really need to see the same 8-10 people play again?
Yeah, I’d love it if they reached way back and brought some of the real crazies, but out of all the no-life people they’ve had over the years, they’ve managed to convince some of the good game players to come back.
Plus, Big Tom and Tom the Firefighter, that’s awesome! I love Big Tom and I wanna see Tom the Firefighter school everyone and have them still love him again!
Fiji had 10 people from Cali.
I knew there was a reason I found that season uninteresting.
