I will never be able to do The Amazing Race.

Those eating challenges.

Oh, the regret I feel right now....

lol!

Too funny!!

hahaha Love it!

I realized that too, when this current season of the Amazing Race started. I was so disappointed, because I always really wanted to go on that show! It's the only reality TV show I would ever consider going on.

On the one hand, I can't do the eating challenges now, but on the other hand, no way could my former 244 lb. self tackle any of the physical challenges or keep up with the other teams. So no TAR for me either way.

ETA: TAR is one of my all time favorite shows.

So im not the only person that has thought that..... I love the race and dream of going on there...

Who knew so many of us secretly dreamed of going on TAR at some point?!?!

Maybe you could propose an all WLS season and instead of eating challenges they could plan some other WLS specific challenges.

Not me.. never dreamed of those things....I want to bungee jump and sky dive, race on the back of a stallion in cool Water on a beach. climb a mountain. Swim with Dolphins. Never ever thought of survivor or the amazing race.....

On The Amazing Race you get to do a lot of those things and the show foots the bill! Survivor on the other hand... I have NO IDEA why anyone goes on that show. Why would you subject yourself to 30+ days of starvation and misery for like a 1 in 20 chance of winning $1 million? On the Amazing Race all the travel and getting to see the world and do cool things is a prize in itself and the $1 million is just a bonus if you happen to win!

On the bright side, we could handle the food deprivation on Survivor a lot better than the people that haven't had WLS. Seriously, who's watched Survivor and secretly thought it would be a great diet plan???

@RJ'S/beginning I have swam with dolphins and it was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. I plan to ride a horse on the beach this December in Hawaii but probably more like a gelding vs a stallion. LOL Stallion does sound cooler.

Survivor would be terrible for WLS folks. Protein is extremely scarce and all they have regularly is a little rice. From what I can tell they all gain the weight back, plus (just like any other diet).

My question has always been: who in the world goes on Survivor or the Amazing Race without knowing how to swim (or drive a stick shift for TAR) and expects to be successful?

And how the HELLLLLLLL do you not know how to make fire!?!?!?

I'd love to go on Survivor. WLS ruined that, too. Rice makes me hurl.
