Mitä hyötyä Selviytyjistä on ollut kamppailu-urheilu realitysarjoissa? Mitä surkuhupaisaa vaivaa Pok ei voinut paljastaa kilpakumppaneilleen The Challenger Battleground ohjelmassa?

As the leather seat of bondage falls to ground, and the sugarcube crunches beneath those big horsey teeth, James turns to Sam and in those dark, somewhat vacant...
