And yet they aren't sent home? Im guessing its because the only other black couple was already sent home.

Bears picks should be color blind.

I had to groan and roll my eyes when Bears mentioned the couple's faith. Like if they only had more faith God would have jumped into the water to help them instead of Bears.

They should have gotten eliminated, too. When you are a liability you endanger not only yourself but those who try to help you get out of tricky situations.

Yeah the girl cried a bit because her clothes were wet. But if u consider she was tired and hungry its understandable, girls cry, it wasn't a big deal. Compare that to the black couple that only had to swim ashore - everyone else did it - and they even had an airtight backpack to help them, and they still needed help - that was pathetic and they clearly should have been sent home.

True that. Black People really cant swim.. They need to go

That decision really pisses me off. That couple has been on the hot seat every episode yet they are kept over another couple who's main error was one of them crying over wet clothes. This shows credibility took a serious hit with that decision.

They all should be voted out. This show is *beep*

I just watched tonights episode and they had to climb a very steep hill and one of the other men had to carry the black guys pack cause he stopped and couldnt move anymore. And they STILL werent sent home. If I were one of the folks going home Id be pretty ticked off cause these two are definitely the weakest and a big liability.

How are they even on the show? It just shows that this is not a serious competition

They wont last long, but as long as they have better attitudes than another group, Bear will let them linger. Apparently being physically incapable isnt as bad as whining.

Just to point out, the black guy is a boat captain.

On the one hand, I am in favor of boat captains who can't swim...makes me feel better to know that the guy in charge is really dedicated to keep the boat from sinking.
On the other hand...IF YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE ON THE *beep* WATER, LEARN TO SWIM!!

But as it has been pointed out, it's about showing effort, not necessarily about having the physical abilities.
