I agree, I think the girls got farther than they should have.. twice before they got lucky and werent eliminated, (non elimination leg, and the guys who lost their passport). and since it is getting closer to the end, the tasks should get harder..that way the weaker teams are eliminated. and hitting a big ball with a large club isnt that hard, really.

I think the woman that wouldn't go down the water slide was a total wimp. You know when you sign up for a race like that that there may be challenges like this. To blow the entire race over a water slide is sad. Even if there was some fear and delay is understandable but then just decide to do it.
As far as the boyfriend is concerned, he just tried to get her to go. I think I'd be frustrated too. I believe abuse is always inexcusable no matter what, but I didn't find this abusive at all. He wasn't punishing her, he was just panicked trying to get her to go.

I thought so too, until Ericka just picked up the hammer and rang the bell. You don't have to be big, but you need to be fit and know how to do it. That particular carnival trick works with either brute strength or proper technique. Tiffany was almost there a couple of times toward the end, when she had it figured out but was too worn out.
Not that it matters much, I think the poker players would have been done in by the haystacks, if either had to lift and unroll more than a dozen. I don't see Maria doing even one.

I was surprised that there was no penalty for that as well as the couple who went in to count the bells together. This was a single person challenge.
