You know, it kind of baffles me. These guys and gals know they're applying to the show. They get a bunch of warnings when they get accepted so they can put their lives on hold.
Half of this game is the physical challenges.
You pretty well know that at the core of these games, there's swimming, running, diving, going through obstacle courses and solving those slide puzzles.
Personally the minute I sent my video tape in, I'm at the pool everyday, in the gym every day. I have every slide puzzle app on the internet bookmarked on my computer.
I'd probably quietly take a wilderness survival course so that I'm entirely useful.
You have to wonder if the producers go up to some of these guys, and say "You probably aren't going to win, here's 10k to make this challenge dramatic.
