Maybe they should've spent less time hugging and more time trying to complete the challenge. They sucked.
Technically we didn't "quit", we took a penalty for not completing the Detour which happens to be a 24hr penalty (for an unfinished Detour)... mind you, that was AFTER over three hours of attempting BOTH challenges. You could tell on TV but the hammer for the dinner was over 40lobs! At one point, on our second attempt at the golf field EMT's had to come out to the field and take me off because they were worried I was getting hypothermia. You'll notice that towards the end of the episode I'm wearing a gray, long sleeve which they made me wear if I was to continue the golf challenge even though the Detour rules stated that teams could only do it in the provided farmer long johns! The EMT's assessed my condition and felt that continuing in the given weather conditions could be a hazardous to my health, therefore production had to make a medical exception because I was so soaked to the bone and uncontrollably shaking.Other than maybe Garrett/Jessica, everyone else's elimination was far more pathetic and avoidable.
That said, people complaining about golf being a "strength challenge" is a bit silly.
I already read that blog post and I don't give a shit. They
can spin it all they want to but they quit. They can go hug it out in hell.
