@raph, Bring back the memory challenges and the breaking of other players plates.
@Andy Dehnart, Score one for @Melissa! I agree.
The show is just boring. And, what's with Nicole wearing the same clothes. Really is bad.
I didn't like Theresa but suspected from the get-go that Gerry was going to pick her. Gerry is a phony and a misogynist. They deserve one another. Leslie dodged a bullet.

@AK, yeap that was a good one too, I also liked even the offshore basketball games or the jousts. Heck I would be happy watching the nut busting blindfold challenges again.. anything to under the repetitiveness. Heck remember…
@raph, I would read that! It would be a nice reminder of some of the variety that we used to get in challenges. I feel like I can't even remember anymore! It's all just stand and hold for…
“The other addition was letters from home, which caused everyone to start crying. They’ve been playing for 18 days. I’ve spent more time away from my husband on a Target run.“ This is a woefully telling comment of…
