I couldn't believe the whole pig thing. Luke and Margie just picked the thing up and started walking. The other two teams struggled so much with it. Margie did comment several times afterwards about how heavy it was, but they just plowed through it and passed both of the other teams quite handily.
The one thing I noticed is that at least with the cheerleaders, one of them was holding the pole right next to the pig while the other was holding it near the end. I'm guessing that they didn't even realize what an unfair distribution of weight that would cause because they couldn't stop screaming at each other.
As for the final roadblock, Luke had nearly finished before Victor even showed up. I can't remember if he only needed the final 2 at that point or if there were another couple he got before Victor started. But yeah, it's like he completely fell apart at that point and instead of being calm, he started just throwing things up randomly. A burning skull, for example? What did he think that represented?
And even when he got the one with the feet, he had it in the wrong position and then even removed it for a while. It's sort of like his brain completely shut off at that point. I'm wondering also if he had been going through them each one-by-one and missed those two the first pass. It might have been a combination of the added pressure from Victor and feeling like he had already seen them all once, but it felt very much like he just gave up. He did that before with the letter challenge, where he just started tossing things in randomly.
The thing that really got me is how he would see a board and yell, "duh", grabbing the board and it would have nothing to do with anything. I would be curious to know what was going through his head through all that.
The one other explaination I can think of, however, is that his mom commented on how he had been constantly reviewing each leg, preparing for this sort of challenge. They have one every season, so why not? The fact that it was the last two boards he had trouble with could have been just because he hadn't had as many days to drill those challenges into his head yet.
Anyway, I was pulling for them, but Victor and Tammy is better than the cheerleaders, I suppose. I just felt like they were both very arrogant, particularly Victor. I'm personally a bit disappointed, but I can't say they didn't deserve it like the cheerleaders, who only made the top 3 out of some serious luck and the U-turn.
