    From a reddit AMA "Hi, I'm Jana. In 1993 I was featured on the first season of Nickelodeon GUTS as "The Warrior." Because I had a perfect score during my show, I was asked back to compete in what would be the only GUTS All Stars show. With much luck and determination, I won that show too. Then five years later, while performing as a gymnast at Sea World Orlando doing a ski and gymnastics show, I broke my neck (C5-6 sublexation) and became paralyzed from the chest down. No longer having an able body to fuel my career as a stuntwoman, I went back to college to get a Interpersonal Communications degree at UCF, followed by a Masters in Liberal Studies at Rollins College."

      Same AMA Yes, I am a much more self aware and respectful person after facing adversity. I was injured at 20-years-old, and in reflection feel like I was a kid that didn't know much at the time (as many can relate to). After being stripped of everything I thought I was, I was able to rebuild myself in the way wanted and able to decipher the truly important things in life. The people that stuck around were people who truly loved me for me. And by embracing the boundaries my disability, I was able to showcase my inner strength, something many people would have never seen otherwise.
      I feel lucky because by nature I'm a very positive person. So that's translated through into my life as a wheelchair user, and I do tend to see the good in everything without having to try. I also think that if someone was an asshole before they were in a wheelchair, chances are good they'll still be one after.

    I read through the old AMA others have referenced. Something she shared was the contestants aren't allowed to test the obstacle course prior to filming and aren't allowed to watch the other competitors.
    That's why so many don't catch on to dive under the elastic bands

    From the same AMA from Jana: "Some stunts we did get to practice first, like the bungee basketball game. Others, like the obstacle courses and the bungee maze, we weren't allowed to see first or even watch the competitor before us."
    So that discredits the theory that they didn't pay attention to the previous competitor's run.

    If a competitor has a perfect score (1200) going into the crag, the only way they lose overall is:
    A: 2nd place overall has at minimum 900 going into the crag (tie for 1st in one round and 2nd place in the others)
    B: 2nd place overall must win the crag for a final total of 1625 (900+725)
    C: 1st overall must take last place in the crag ending with 1575 (1200+375)

      They should share the points. Tie for first each gets 250, tie for second each gets 150

    Were things not "for life" in politics back then? It confuses me so much that the obstacle before the elastic jungle is called the slide for life.

      I don’t think anybody would think of “pro life” when they hear the phrase “for life”. I sure didn’t.

      Not saying it's a good or bad thing but when I hear something is "for life", I immediately think it's either anti-abortion or pro-gun control. Even if I'm the only one who hears it that way, why the fuck is the Guts slide called the slide for life? @@AliceYobby

    Would have been so hilarious if Chris ended up coming in last after Jomboy traded for him. Almost happened... Still damn funny, though, as Chris had the worst time in the obstacle course after Jomboy was so confident he'd do well. Didn't even go low in the elastic jungle.

    I think you're too kind with the "sub 10 is good" for the first obstacle
