That's what I love about reality TV - making fun of the contestants of course!!!

i dont recall seeing any one "bashing" anyone. sure...we all talk
about who we like and dislike and why. thats pretty much why we have a
forum...so we can! 

 

If i say nick and starr lie...they do and admitted it. how is that wrong of me?
if i say ken and tina argue alot...they do and admitted it. i dont see where the
"bashing" comes in to this.

 

could i run this race? probably not. with a bad knee and a bad case of
laziness...i dont really like to travel...lol! i'm thinking thats a bad thing on
a race around the world!

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.
