>getting any VEGAN meals in the reward challenges??
Definitely not a vegan-friendly show: and the only "vegetarians" they've had on the show were those fake ones who ate chicken and/or fish.
I don't see how they don't get sick from some of the reward challenge food: soft drinks, fatty cheeseburgers, junk food. Calories, yes, but healthy calories? No way!
Though that apple from last year's show (I haven't watched this year at all) was pretty tasty looking.
There's no way I could even think of going on this show. I'd be first one voted off (or at least HOPE to be!...I'm sure I could make myself obnoxious enough to get the boot!)
I remember after the first season, some of the contestants gained quite a bit of weight after the show, because they couldn't get used to eating normally again. They did eventually lose it, but I think their metabolism was screwed up for a while.
I think now, some of the more savy contestants really prepare, by packing on some extra weight (both fat and muscle) before going. (though some of them are awefully skinny before the show even start: there was one woman last year who I was really worried about. She was thin to begin with...and just wasted away.)
A cousin of our secretary was on the show last year. The skinny, dipppy blond chick (eliminated pretty early on).
