    Really enjoyed your analysis of this most dramatic heat exhaustion and heat stroke episode. Thanks!

    Check out the Challenge Preview with the Dream Team

    and you’ll see that when they tested this challenge they had 3 flags marking the general area of the three bags. They often make changes after the Dream Team practice and in this case I think they found the digging to be too easy and fast with the 3 flags but removing the 3 flags made the digging much harder and longer to accomplish. I wonder if they actually re-tested the digging portion without the 3 flags or just assumed it would just be slightly harder and more difficult.

    Also John Kirhoffer says the challenge is *designed* to be “Gritty, Hot, and just Disgusting!” That seems like a poor design decision when the temperature would be over 100 with high humidity.
