People have been injuried--sprained knee or ankle, exhusted but NOT unconcious for 45 minutes

As for Jeff saying this was his scariest moment ever in 19 seasons, can he tell me how this compares to the man passing out and falling into the fire in Austrailia?

Jeff said scariest monment he has seen--he wasn't at the camp when Mike Skunkin fell in the fire.

damn pawpaw...nothin gets by you!

i do feel russell was in an extremely dangerous situation...
when mike fell into the fire he quickly snapped out of his unconscious state... if russell had fallen into a fire he would probably have become barbecue!

Pawpaw I guess we must agree to disagree.

I said take the injured off the field of play. They could treat him just as easy or even easier if he had been moved away from game structures. The challenge should have continued even if one team was a person short. That has happened in other challenges when a player was injured during the event and unable to help his/her team.

Where did the unconcious for 45 minutes come from?

BTW, Entertainment Weekly quotes Jeff saying: “the scariest moment I’ve ever had on the show.”

They are all about making "Great TV". I guess if you weigh continuing the challenge vs. making a big scene for the viewers you get the result that they gave. Its all smoke and mirrors in the end. I dunno, I guess the emotional shock for the remaining players was another reason for ending the challenge as well. It really puts one team at a disadvantage in the challenge if they are worrying about their downed team mate. Just food for thought.
