They test all challenges and eliminations with a crew of athletes? Or "professionals" to make sure their safe and doable within a certain time period.
They sometimes should show us how that crew did it.
They even showed the test crew briefly a few weeks ago during that one rope challenge where they had to tie the knots. Everyone sucked except Bananas/Tony, and TJ called them out on it while showing the test crew doing it. However, they do them over and over and tweak them, so they have the advantage of essentially practicing up to a final run. The cast members are going in cold, and sometimes they just run into really, really, difficult challenges.
