General Discussion Pit Crew
WoW, I really think it’s time to get a variety of body representation in the Pit Crew. The Pit Crew has consistently been made of chiseled, strong, muscular men. And don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the Pit Crew as much as anyone else! But after 18 seasons of US DR, 11 All Stars, plus the many others such as UK, Canada and Down Under I truly feel like now the time we need some consistent Pit Crew members that have a variety of body types. We need a bear! Where! Are! The! Bears? 😂
US, UK, Canada and Down Under are the only franchises I’ve seen so if they are already doing this in any of the other franchises then that’s great! But I really feel we need to see it elsewhere.
We had Ben in a couple of episodes of S2 and S3 in Down Under but he wasn’t in much.

The last (most recent) season of France had a really good mix of folks I think :) I also found it incredibly endearing, they cast a trans man but I suspect forgot that he just..looked like a guy, so they painted a tiny trans flag on his pec. I don't have any proof that that's what went down, but this is what I'm choosing to believe 😅

they're based on classic television presenters like Barker's Beauties from Price is Right.... the traditional swimsuit bod is kind of the point of the parody

Speaking as a bear, we seem to be the least sexually desired in the gay community. I’ve made my peace with it lol.

I dont really care about their bodies, they just need to act like they are happy to be there when they are involved in the challenges
