That's why I WATCH reality shows and don't AUDITION for them!

If I were a vegetarian like Terence, no I wouldn't compromise myself. Personally, I'd give it a try. It would probably result in

but it's not like that's never happened on TAR before.

I'd give it a whirl, though I'm pretty sure it would end up giving my stomach a whirl.

That's the impression I got from him on the show.

No way I could to it, I guess that's why I watch the show not try to participate.

I don't think I could do it. I am such a picky eater to begin with, that I'm sure even if regular food was on the menu, I wouldn't be able to do it.

Hubby, on the other hand, can eat anything.....but mushrooms. So I am positive that if we did the race together and he went for a FF involving food, it would undoubtedly have something to do with mushrooms! We would, however, promptly leave and get back to the original roadblock!

I don't think that I could. Maybe it would depend on how it was prepared, or how it smelled.
Scratch that...nothing you can do to it to stop it from being sheep's butt fat. However, for a million dollars, I'd try my hardest. In the case of Terrance, who doesn't eat meat, and read a clue that had a restaurant name and still went for the FF, and then sat and tried to actually do that FF for far too long before throwing in the towel, he was just stupid.

I'd give it a shot, but it would probably shoot back out before I was done.

I read that Dandrew beat Terence & Sarah by only 7 minutes (that says a lot because apparently the drive from the chicken place to the FF was about an hour). If T&S had not wasted time eating the butt, then they probably could have beaten Dandrew.

Our bodies are equiped to digest meat. I think his problem was more in his head. Eating a lot of fat would definately give anyone some gastric distress and that can happen as easily with cheese or excessive amounts of olive oil. I agree with aname2, don't sign on a reality show if you are not willing or able to eat strange meat. A sheep butt is not that strange either. It is lamb, plain and simple and probably tasted good at first. The amount they are asked to eat is always large to create drama.
