Rupertbear, that thought crossed my mind about Blake too when I was watching last night.. panic attacks. The brain can do a number on your body just like that, and then snap out of it. That's giving him the benefit of the doubt, I still am not sure he's not faking it.

Isn't Blake the one who was hit with that weird stick with the thorns on it? I wondered if either the thorns had some sort of poison in them that has had a bad effect on him, or if the whack itself damaged his ribs.

They just had a tug of war on Battle of the Network Stars - one of the former Apprentice guys looked it up on the internet and found out the best way to do it - use your legs by pivoting rather than pulling with your arms. It must work because they won the BotNS contest. These guys just fell straight down and didn't do much of anything. It would have been better without the mud.

my problem is that i have problems understanding the challenges when Jeff explains them, and then when they actually start doing them, its like, oh that's what is supposed to happen. but that tug of war made no sense at all, even when they were actually doing it :-)

OK, I tried to find the post but now you'll have to just rely on my memory!! (ok, stop ROFLOL!!)

Someone at sucks posted that the whole tug of war thing lasted 3 hours... with a few 1 on 1 and a few 3 on 3... of course they also stated someone (damn my memory) made a mud ball and threw it at the other team... this caused a suck poster to comment that surely THAT footage would've made the TV...

We do know that the tug of war was edited... how much tho??? You'd think CBS would include that footage online???!!

The editing of it made it more confusing. I figured with how they adjusted the final rules had to be due to the challenge going way to long with no outcome.

I thought Bobby John had pulled a gonad muscle the way he was screaming...and that face...the last time I made a face like that, I dropped a concrete block on my big toe.

Judd was saying similar things in one of his interviews that Blake is ok at challenges, but as soon as he gets back to camp...he all of a sudden can't do anything anymore.

As a disabled person, I get this all the time - I look "normal" & can do some things but no one sees me shut down the next few days after over exertion.

Willwillbee i can 100% totally relate to this!! I to am disabled, I am not that old and look a bit younger than I am, I get that all the time!

Do you think maybe Blake is really not feeling well, but he's a man, so not feeling well can take on a bit of a dramatic flare... but even though he's not feeling well he sucks it up for the challenges.

Usually by the second episode I have picked a few favorite players and defintly picked the team I want to win, I can't seem to get intrested in any of these people except Stephanie and I suspect they are going to get rid of her quickly

I didn't get the point of the 1 on 1 where someone "made a move" on the other, unless they could actually pick the person up and carry them away from their flag what was the point.

It would have been more interesting if they had of made everyone do a one on one versus the group pull, or if the heats for the three flags specified that at least one woman of each tribe had to participate, with no person being able to do the challenge twice ie Judd and Jamie could only go once.

The tug of war would have worked better in sand than mud I believe.

shelb, i remember reading a few years back that giving the directions for a challenge sometimes takes hours! so we hear jeffy explain it once, but you can bet that is the edited version.
