Solid episode - my humor finally came out...anyways5) river downs: we found out about River Downs when we were back in Nashville. We had thought about doing the horse task in Kentucky because it was right when the Derby was going on. But when Doug called a gym and asked if there were any female pro boxers in the state...and he was actualy talking to 1 of the 2 in the ENTIRE state - we had to go with it. So River Downs was our backup plan all along due to our research in Tennessee. We always had at least 1 back-up plan....well, almost always.
6)I think Eric took an pride shot when he got eliminated and he didn't want to make a loud entrance because it cost him with team CAKE. So I think he initially toned it down because we had things all set to go when he arrived.
Keep in mind - there were 16 total finalists that were brought to Miami and we all hooped it up like a bunch of rock-stars. Doug and Eric were roomates, so they were fairly close (as I was with Charles) so when we saw Eric, we saw the Eric that we knew in South Beach...I still thought we were gonna get an alternate.
