Okay, so Terrence is not very nice at times, and Ken? cheated on
his wife. But do any of you really know what they're like at home?
For that matter all you out there team bashing, do you know what this
race really takes? You can't just judge someone based on how they act
on tv. And let's remember, they know they're on tv. But that isn't my
point. My point is this...
Could you team bashers out there really say you could stand 28
days of constant contact with only one other person you care for or are
trying to reconnect with? I'm talking 24 hours a day, no seperation,
no way out, in an extreme high stress enviornment. Could you honestly
say you wouldn't get cranky and know that for sure? Think about it
people. They design the race to take teams as far out of their comfort
zones as possible. The teams have to make their own way in places most
of us would never choose to go, all the while challenging their own
fears, shortcomings, and physical limits. Let's see you guys out there
who are bashing people try the race, and see how YOU do. Remember,
stress makes people behave in ways they normally wouldn't. I think
until you run this race yourself you should try to remember what it
takes, and if you don't have it, don't bash those who try.
