It's a fun show. Lady Cowboy Fan and I have been watching from the start.

This is, I think, their third season. They've had a lot of former athletes on from the NFL (Danny Amendola was on the last one) NBA and others, but they haven't won. The winners of the first two seasons included one women's soccer star (Carli Lloyd) and some reality show personalities, mostly from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

The physical challenges are certainly tough, especially on some of the older folks, but what tends to derail people is the mental side of it. Some can't keep their attitudes under control, others just tap out. Many are doing the show because they have demons to deal with, and you see a lot of that come out.

You definitely can't assume you know who will succeed and who won't either. Last year, Dez Bryant flamed out in spectacular fashion while Jojo Siwa actually went much further than I'd have thought. 

And as you might expect, you come away from it with a real appreciation for just how badass some of these special forces guys really are.

Those guys are actually taking it easy on them compared to what they actually go through in real navy seal training. Actual navy seals would call this summer camp.

I would let Cam impregnate my wife. 18 years of $$$$ child support. Plus I'll raise the bastard to be the greatest NFL player of all time. This kid would be my blindside money maker.

In this season, Denise Richard's breast implants were ruptured (by a harness) and she has to get them redone

Let’s hope there isn’t a ‘jump on a grenade’ test in the final challenge.

The celebrities have a tough enough time with what they're doing. Can't imagine if they got the full treatment. 

That last test they did in the surf? I know I'd have tapped out of that one quick
