Why do the contestants keep getting ruled out of tasks...


On medical grounds?

If they can't do the tasks they shouldn't be there, end of. I bet some of them have made up medical conditions so they can get out of the worst tasks.

I know that Larry Lamb is profoundly deaf in one ear and that Scarlett has Bell's Palsy...

...and insurance for this industry is a bitch! 😡

So, I don't think that it's always the contestants who rule themselves out (though I suspect there are some!)...but more so the producers who rule them out on medical grounds for insurance reasons (and the such). 😕

I just think that if they are unfit to take part in all the tasks then someone different should have their spot in the jungle who is fit to take part.

Yeah. I do agree...and it kinda feels like it's happening more and more each year. But I suppose the producers would rather have certain contestants for the ratings regardless of whether they can participate in every single trial... 😒
