Default Global Extremes Eppy 7

Anyone still watching it?

It's time for the losing team to start voting out a team member. Should Team Shackleton's Darran Wells get the boot because he got sick?

...I don't think so. He has mountaineering experience and has shown some good judgement on when to stop for medical attention. I like the way he said that pushing a bicycle through the hot Kalahari sand has very little to do with climbing Everest...It's about time someone did! I think up to this point, they should just vote out the people who are too busy b!tching about their teammates. Too bad that Trynt Young can't be kicked off.

See you on the mountain!

I've been watching it sporatically. I lost some interest when they went into the desert. Where are they at now? Was it on last night? It looked like the America Cup was on.

I've only seen a couple of episodes.... I really liked the mtn biking episode. Some of them had forgotten how to ride a bike (contrary to a popular saying). <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>

And I also saw the one where they were running in the African desert. The one fella (I think he was from Holland) brought sandals!! And one little bottle of water!!! <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle> That is a person that you can't trust when your life depends on him a zillion feet up on Everest.

Give the Dutch dude the boot!!

No kidding-Trjynte Young,or whatever her name is-buy a freaking vowel!!!Most of these people are ill-equipped for adventure racing,let alone Everest.I don't climb mountains,but I think teamwork and leadership qualities should rank above bike skills.I keep saying I won't watch anymore,but at least it isn't Drifters,Survivor,or Blind Date!! Bottom line is that it's TV and not to be taken as truth.I'll admit I'm jealous that I'm not getting a free ride to Everest,though!
