I have a lot of respect for Georgiapeach, as such I will keep my negative comments to aminimum.
you were not my favorite racer. Also, you let your mom down, twice.
Prophet:
This seems unnecessarily mean. It's fine to not like a racer, but to say he let his mom down when she herself didn't think so?

Twice
georgiapeach:
For the record, I don't think you let someone down by losing a game task. Had he given up, then the comment might be fair....
But instead, he perservered thru a task that was FAR worse than what we see on TV. I am hearing reports of extensive vomiting. I for one would rather give a pint of blood than barf once, so imagine.
It also appears that Herb was at this for 3+ hours, and Luke for 4. I think that is a tribute to COURAGE...because that is what that is.

Margie would be the first to say that she is proud of him, and did in the Insider clip.
I know how much Luke loves this race, and he has encouraged and inspired many others to "dream the dream". Losing a leg on a game is NOT losing in life. Luke is a WINNER there.

That's harsh. You can't speak for Margie. She didn't think he let her down :duno: We have seen people get ill from the food/drink challenges before, and we don't know how much tea Luke had to drink before he found the right one. The acids in the tea could really play havoc on a person's digestive system, and too much could also overload his taste and smell abilities. He persevered, didn't quit, and kept going even at the end when they knew they were last.
I say "Well done Luke."
