Cheese Roll

I can't name one other person who enjoys either of these shows, but I'm pretty stoked that new seasons of The Amazing Race and Survivor are back on. I'd love to do the Race, but Survivor? Not so much. The physical challenges look interesting, but not enough to endure the pure physical agony that living in the elements would bring. The only person who would be brave enough to go on TAR with me is Jake and I'm pretty sure there would be complete websites devoted to the public hatred of us.

This weeks episode of TAR had one of the most hilarious challenges yet. So hilarious that I've watched it twice and nearly wet my pants both times from laughing. The teams are in Switzerland, the challenge is to hike up this steep hill with an "antique" apparatus, strap a 50 lb cheese into it, walk back down the mountain and deposit the cheese. After 200 lbs, you get the next clue. I can't even explain the hilarity that ensues, so here's the video. I dare you not to laugh.
