PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Sleep Deprivation Among the Contestants" |
In a few interviews on E! and various channels, contestants have talked about how little they sleep on the show. They basically work 7 days a week and sleep 2-4 hours per night. After a few weeks, this starts to add up. I think the negative character traits of some of the people were really exaggerated given how little they have been sleeping. Just looking at Wes' face (or is it wes's face) you could see black circles under his eyes...So, here's my sleep analysis for the contestants:Jen - Cognitive Slowness - couldn't understand simple wheel concept when I think she's incredibly intelligent & has demonstrated this in other tasks (Though, I think the part she didn't get was how the wheel would magically make the type of jeans you wanted appear in the center... it's just a piece of paper, not a piece of oragami... and this confused me to because the way Ivana explained it, you would turn the overlapping wheels with the traits you wanted in a jean and your jean type would appear in the middle. Overlapping paper is not going to do that so easily.) Wes - Literally 1/2 asleep during this task. He looked like he was moving in slow motion. He talked slow... he didn't really think very clearly either. He seemed kind of spaced out. I thought he was going to fall asleep in the cab. Maria - Angry, hypersensitive, snapping behavior. The majority of people who are sleep deprived get very irritable after several days/weeks go by. Maria jas been bitchy but never like THIS. Kevin - What was up with the Sweating? Body temperature regulation gets screwed up w/o sleep. (Or maybe he was just nervous...who knows. This one is a stretch.) Kelly, Andy & Sandy seem to be handling it better than everyone else but since Sandy got in a 20 minute fight with Maria, I wonder if she is also oversensitized & angry from lack of sleep. Of course this could all be attributable to other things (increased pressure with smaller teams, Ivana not explaining the wheel properly), but still - sleep is a HUGE deal for people and we completely treat it like it's not necessary despite the 100s of studies that come out on a weekly basis showing how important it is.
