Oh, I'm so glad you're here! My whole family loves your show, right down to my four year old daughter (she busted her head right after your season opener because she and my son ran a Ninja obstacle course... right across the bookshelf! Don't worry, she's fine!)

So my question is... why do you spend SO MUCH TIME on athlete fluff pieces and then NOT SHOW US RUNS of other athletes? I hate when we come back from commercial and you tell me about two guys who finished the course and two guys who didn't... and then we spend 2 minutes on hearing about some dude's dog for the third time! It's infuriating!

I wish your ratings showed how often people TiVo-jump through the fluff bits. ;) When are the live tapings?

Also, how frustrating is it to pay all that money to build Stage 4 every year when no one even touches it?

Ah well, TIL, then. How much of Matt and Akbar's commentary is added in post after reviewing the tapes and whatnot? I swear, sometimes they're just making stuff up (particularly about why an athlete failed), but that's always a part of commentating--keeping the word stream running.

I'd like to hear this as well.
