It didn't help that the ball was squishy and could be easily gripped. He had no chance of knocking that thing out.
Wherever they're at in Turkey looks amazing. I don't get why there's a lack of volunteers to do this show if nothing else than for the dream destinations. Isn't it only 3 weeks? Free vacation and chance to win money and they act like they're losers for doing the challenges after a certain age.
It's much longer than three weeks if you make it far. It's a couple months. I think they only do a couple challenges a week. I can't remember what Frank said on that deleted Grantland podcast, but it's not like they're doing them every other day. I think Bananas also revealed that some vets with real jobs literally can't be there longer than a week or two. They're just looking to get their appearance fee (a veteran's minimum, basically), so they'll either throw a challenge or ask to be put in the elimination early on. Everyone else is totally fine with it because it's one less person/team to seriously deal with.
Edit: I just looked at Bananas' Twitter. He stopped tweeting on June 10th, which was the day the Bloodlines cast left. He didn't tweet again until July 29th, which is when filming ended. So that gives you an idea of the time frame.
