Ahahahaha I have to tell my friends about this. We have invented a drinking game that goes along with the show :P

I love this show! Definitely tell us if you get on! We'll be sure to watch!!!

[ryanvalle]

Haha. I doubt I will get on. I'm sure that there are millions out there, but there's no harm in trying, right? Haha.

But surely, I will let you guys know if I'm on haha...

I love this show. It is so incredibly dumb but I end up laughing so hard I snort. I definitely can't enjoy a beverage while watching this show.

I've always wondered though, why even bother trying on the qualifier? Why not just fall off intentionally and swim to the next obstacle. Seems like it would save a lot of time.

Haha. Who would watch it if they just swim to the next obstacle? There's no fun in that :) haha

And I am sure that they tell all the participants that they must atleast try each section of the obstacle before swimming to the next spot.

Looking toward this new season. It really is a funny show. I just do not understand when they bounce off the huge rubber balls and the punching balance beam how they are not hurt. The finale round is really difficult. I think it starts next week
