Not to come off as rude or ignorant, but if this is a purely an American only thing? i got no interest in it. diversity is one thing i like to see more of, not less of and EA made a point about the tolerant and inclusive side recently due to BLM, and yet turn the other cheek the users from around the world.

I don’t like that there didn’t seem to be a way for everyone to apply to participate in the competition. They just chose from the same people who are already benefiting from being Game Changers. Nothing about this sounded equal or fair and therefore does not appeal to me.
Not to mention there are probably a good number of users out there who put their best efforts in an get completely ignored by Maxis. and they could easily do something great. There are dozens of users here who put their best efforts into creating stories for their sims on a regular basis and i bet they won't get noticed. Where is the fairness in that?
so now all we have to look forward to is the same small group of users who Maxis always look to instead of giving others a chance to shine. Where is the fairness and equality?
Hard pass. Sorry Maxis, but this doesn't represent what i want to see with a nice diverse group of users, and those users can't be just American.
If you look at who is in the current show, they are not "just American." There are non-Americans too. And there was a wide range of diversity in other ways (LGBTQ+, color, etc.)
At this point we don't know who will be chosen from among the people doing the Spark'd Challenge (which is how they'll choose the next people to be on the show.) I would imagine that COVID will have some impact on it because of travel restrictions.
However, no one is being forced to watch the show. But it is nice for those who are interested and hopefully it will bring more money into EA that they can use to improve the game.
