I was surprised that Akbar and Penn were not of the same weight because they both look like tall men to me. Akbar doesn't look overweight to me either so I was surprised that Penn could jump but Akbar couldn't. I figured Akbar is taller and Penn's wife is just short to Penn looks taller.

I just looked up the weight limit on the bungee jump website. It is indeed 250 lbs. I'm 6'4 and 225 lbs. I'm pretty sure that Akbar weighs in at 275 or more.

I can't stani Akbar & hate the way he talks to Sheri. That being said, he looks to just be a big man in general. He's obviously quite tall, & he's not a stringbean. He doesn't look to be overweight (to me). My husband is 6'4" & weighs 225. He's been as high as 275 (and he still didn't look fat), & as low as 200 (too skinny, I hated it). So it would be really easy for Akbar to exceed the 250 weight limit & be within a normal weight range for his age & height. Yuck. I hate to defend him in any capacity, but this was bothering me. Maybe because my husband is a big man & I'd hate to see him get roasted for something like this. BTW, he doesn't talk to me like Akbar talks to Sheri! He's like Penn in that respect! I hated the way he walked ahead of her on steps while she was struggling and tells her to hurry up. 🤬 |

Akbar is more solidly built than Penn, though. I don't think he looks fat, just built solid. |

I started watching Wednesday and stopped halfway and finished today.
Two guys - I keep hoping they come in last. I am glad they don't have an ego as many physical young guy teams do. What will they do when both tasks on a Roadblock are more mental?
Penn and Kim - really like this team. They work so well together. Looks like did a lot of training also.
Lala and Lulu - attitude is so much better now than before very happy with their attitude adjustment.
Flight Attendents - was worried about their navigation skills. Can no one take a minute Read the Clue, note directions, and find stuff on a map, communicate clearly with each other before taking the scenic route and going from the front of the pack to the back?
Arun and Natalia - I like Arun, but seriously, Can no one take a minute Read the Clue, note directions, and find stuff on a map, communicate clearly with each other before starting to drive. Watching Natalia watching the compass in her hand is not being a good navigator. They are lucky this is a non elimination leg. I am assuming they will have a speed bump next episode.
Akbar and Sheri - did no one else cringe when he started laughing out loud when they got to the dam and he saw how far down it was? realizing it was Sheri who had to do the jump? It did not come across as very loving or nice.
Akbar makes it very easy to say nasty stuff about him especially during the bartending stair climb.
