Do the women teams always lose in this show?


I watched this off and on through the years but always seem to remember the women teams losing week after week.

The womans team this season did rather badly.

Not in my recollection. Now they might lose a bit over 50% of the time--it would seem rigged if they lost exactly 50% of the time, eh?

One thing I have observed that seems to be true most of the time when the task is about putting together some sort of ad/marketing campaign for a product that seems to be much more directed at either women or men, that is, not something used equally by both groups: the side that would seem to have the advantage USUALLY loses the task.

If it's a make-up or perfume product, expect the men's team to win. If it's something associated much more with men, expect the women's team to win. Typically, it seems that the group least familiar with the product finds a more unorthodox way to market it, while the group that uses the product much more often produces a more conventional, a safer, ad and this tends to be why the company executives choose the other side.







Why don't we just shoot 'em down and be through with it?

I was sure the women would win the last task. It's now apparent they want the drama you get with them always losing 3 out of 4 weeks...
