what if someone was in recovery?
I kinda wonder if that is one of the ways they weed out potential racers. I'm also curious about food allergies.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Serious vegetarians, too, I'd guess.

I guess the upshot is, if you can say there is ANYTHING you 100% wouldn't do during the race, you're not getting on the show. (Realizing in the moment that you can't do whatever is different.)

So, if you don't disclose, you could put your team at risk when a challenge for eating nut encrusted meat with a boot of beer comes up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There's a difference too, between "I'm deathly afraid of heights" and "If I eat nuts/wheat/shellfish I WILL LITERALLY DIE." The first is the kind of do-the-thing-you-think-you-can't-do drama the show thrives on, the second would get CBS sued.

Yeah, that's what I meant -- I could fool myself into thinking I could bungee jump, but that's different from something you literally could not do.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I thought it was a little odd to have a required drinking task, especially a lot of alcohol. I am such a lightweight I would have been seriously wasted after that amount of beer. But whatevs. It was funny to see the dad so happy to see the task.
Since I'm just getting into the swing of it, I'm just now feeling the love of the cowboys. They are seriously awesome and funny and smart.
I'm glad last episode's McBickersons assessed what was going on and tried to make adjustments. And the brother on the challenge with her was really sweet with her genuine fear.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
There were the recovery male models a couple of seasons ago... I can't recall any alcohol-related challenges in their season.

Dudes -- Top Model starts on Wednesday. I don't think I really want to watch it. But I'm sure I will....
