Those of you who AREN'T fans can steer clear of this forum.
The Amazing Race is off and running. I've watched every season, and I think, okay, if I were going to be a contestant, I would:
1. hire a personal trainer and get in the best physical shape possible, with cross-training for lots of different sports, since you never know if you'll be mountain-climbing, swimming, hiking, or what;
2. brush up on foreign language skills and International customs info;
3. take an intensive map reading/navigation course;
4. learn to suppress the gag reflex because they always make you eat disgusting things;
5. have hynotism or psycho-therapy to overcome fear of bugs, snakes, rats, mice, dirt, general grossness, heights, etc.
So, what are these people thinking who come on the show and are seriously out of shape? I don't get it!
