The wife and I watch it all the time every season...yea this season is off to a peculiar start...I can't believe how cut throat the "Latin" team was tonite is hacking off a member like that ....totally dumb on there part...wonder if that says something for the "Latin" race...JK had to throw that in there since this season has the teams divided by race...yea what a dumb move that was...but the end part....trippy...dude seemed insecure about himself.Biggest thing to us is that fact that I don't think hardly any team has ever successfully created "FIRE" the first day there....makes me wonder about the human "Race' lol.

What kills my interest in that show is how it transitions from a team game to a solo "screw your comrades" contest.

IMO teams really aren't teams when they know they'll eventually have to compete against each other. I think it'd be a much better game if it didn't have that aspect to it.

Huh! I wouldn't put you in charge for producing "this type" of show if that is the way you would think. It would have even more people disinterested.

That's what good about the show, to see how humans are in their atypical daily life with one another as a team, and make difficult choices throughout the journey until one remains. We really see the character of each person here. Obviously, we saw in this last episode how those Latinos made a stupid choice, they purposely lost a team challenge to able to boot out a person for snoring. Yet do you think they have thought that, maybe, that person would bring them "all" a bit further in the show? Human behavior at their best let me tell you.

And us we laugh for the quandaries of others.

Yeah, no kidding. To lose intentionally just to get rid of one guy??? That was stupid. They screwed up. They should have tried to win, they could always have gotten rid of him if they lost, but why give up tarps?
