I watched it, and shook my head... If you are going to do a triathlon- then DO A TRIATHLON!!!
Did the producers even look into what a triathlon really is???
Part of what makes a triathlon hard is going directly from swimming, to biking, and then to running. And putting the swimming last is actually dangerous. There is a reason why they put the swim first ya know!
And yeah, I know there are some races out there that do it backwards, but I think they are crazy. Of course I'm looking at it from a liability standpoint.

But yeah, my guess is Kae would have won it if she was allowed to go directly to the next event. She appeared to have a smoking lead.
So as someone said- it became a swimming meet. And the thing with swimming- it's ALL about technique! It doesn't matter how thin or fit you are, if you don't have the technique you will be slow. The girl that won had a swimming background, and as you could see her technique was good.

But yeah, I watch it. I don't think it's realistic, but I watch it. And I was happy that the vote finally went the right way!
Personally I think mr. water loader needs to go. His scheming is ridiculous!
