I think people are missing the point of this fun show

I think most of the negative comments here are way off base. Yes, they did screw up allowing the "Roosevelt" answer.

But anyone who thinks the physical challenges are easy just hasn't been watching much. You try holding your breath underwater for over 90 seconds! Get your butt out there and climb the rope in a heavy downpour in under 2 minutes! I'm pretty athletic, but I know I'd have some problems with some of those challenges. Anyone who says they're all easy is either in excellent shape (say Delta Force level), just not paying attention or deluded.

It was amazing in the latest episode that the egotistical Darin easily completed the first incredibly-hard challenge, but lost in the head-to-head challenge. It isn't just physical.

Yes the host, Brooke Burns, has to read the same tired rules every week for anyone watching who might be new. Yes, they're off a cue card. It doesn't mean she's an idiot.

But the show is STILL a lot of fun, and Brooke is a fantastic host. Besides being so sexy, I think it's great that she can be a person, rather than just a personality. So she can clown with the contestants, put her arm around them, etc. She MAKES this show.

And the strip-golf/hangman/football are tastefully done and make it more than just a physical challenge. No, the show isn't for pre-teens because of the idea of stripping. But adults should be able to handle it, since they blur out flesh that you'd normally see on a beach. It's interesting that the first woman I saw do one of these went all the way, yet none of the guys have bared it all! And they passed on the low-brow opportunity to have a strip challenge when the former Playboy Bunnies were on. I thought that showed some restraint.

My wife and I both love this show and it's a shame to see it dumped this fall.
