Post by Nancy DooleyAlso interesting is that the final pair, the two women who were left, may indeed
turn out to be the toughest, smartest team. If I were a man, I would have picked that
6' woman in a heartbeat.
I was thinking height wise they did seem a mismatch. But I was thinking
one was "short", rather than one was taller than average.
I forget who that team's members are, but I was certainly hoping they
didn't get eliminated last night.
One interesting thing is that there may be no "deadweight" this time. If
contestants have to come as part of an existing relationships, one is
likely more interested than the other, and the other comes because they
are needed for the team, rather than because they really want to do the
show. We've seen some examples of that in the past, though maybe not
recently.
But also, many of the contestants seemed to come from professions where
they are required to be healthy and/or strong, firemen and soldiers and
cops. The show may have gone looking in those areas, more free since the
contestants didn't have to talk a sibling or spouse into doing the show.
But may also equalize the contestants, since many of them are "alpha"
