LOL, Maris... Yes, but they are always followed by them doing it. I love the confessionals of the accomplishment they feel having overcome their fears.

I agree even though I don't fault them it isn't entertaining as a viewer. Also seeing them doing the same challenge over and over for each person gets boring. Same thing on BB when they do the comics I get bored seeing each person doing it

Huh. I liked watching this especially because they had to figure out their own techniques for getting across. Loved the butt scooters. Not efficient, but effective!

I’m still enjoying it as well but I’m always a little sad that reality shows always seem to end up making it about individual success and pitting people against each other. It would be nice to have a show where success is dependent on helping each other and getting the most people to the top.

It might have been Jimmer if the contestants where not people planning to be on Survivor.

You're right Vsmart. People that apply for Race to Survive have a different mindset than people who apply for BB or Survivor.

I prefer Alone where we see each person enduring and accomplishing and all they know is someone else is still there, but there is no sabotage and game playing.
They had a reunion I watched and they all (who were on that panel) seemed to really appreciate each other.
I do see that people here accomplish milestones, but that can get them voted out or having to do a task without a partner. And it is pretty repetitive.

Hahahahaha, I know, even though I am not sure it is the best decision since Amy will likely have a harder time on the glaciers.
Although because she has more meat on her bones than most of them she might be warmer and do better.
Hmmm changing my own mind, LOL.

Yeah, I get that Amy probably should have been gone long ago, but they all turned on the self-described cockroach. He earned his own demise.

He'll probably miraculously come back. He told us Korean cockroaches are indestructible.

I’m not sure why Dennis decided to assume that sort of horribly negative persona. If that’s the way he is in real life then he is a sorry bitter young man.
I also felt sorry for the guy (I get them mixed up) who said one of his best lessons in life was when he was a little boy and his Dad told him that men don’t cry. I’d never tell my son or daughter that it’s wrong to cry.

Yes, he was negative from the start.

I thought it sucked that production made Amy do the gravity rope across the chasm again when she was only ten feet away from the other side when the rope broke off.
I'm still not a fan of the host and I hate the production interference in this show, but I'm committed to watch it until the end even though I doubt it will see a second season in the U.S.

Yeah “The Mountain’s Keeper” should have come for production when that rope broke.

"Mountain's Keeper" "Mountain Keeper".
They need to keep their terminology straight.
I'm not caught up to all of you, but I am certainly not thrilled with the host (he's not fun or funny, just mean) or the production (they don't seem careful or caring about the contestants).
The contestants seem so unkind to each other. I'm sure that it's not their fault, though. Surely production is coaching them to say the worst things about other players and to only focus on winning the money. I am certain that they thought this would be very different and what they are expected to do seems so far out of scope of "survivor" games and even incredibly dangerous. I would not be surprised if quite a few of them have PTSD related to the terrifying challenges where they had no trained support, sherpas, or coaches!
