[QUOTE=feminthea;183887]I think it is probably Evelyn's history of unsportsmanlike behavior that prompted the comment - she is a brat when things don't go her way - throwing an elimination to Kelly Anne, her big speech on the Island, blaming this on Luke - I just watched the Gauntlet final challenge and when they called the medics for Easy everyone else seemed concerned - her comment was "he deceived us throughout this challenge into thinking he could do it and now he is costing me $50,000." So classy.[/QUOTE]
History of unsportsmanlike behavior? She threw her elimination against KellyAnne because why would she want to go back to a team and Johnny (who treated her like **** on the Island) who ****ed her over? She put her friendship, pride and integrity above some money. If she went back and threw missions then you could say she was unsportsmanlike in the Ruins. I don't see how her speech on the Island was unsportsmanlike either. At that point in time she was taking a stand against people who harassed her on a daily basis. It was unsportsmanlike for Johnny to throw his key at her feet and not even look her in the eyes.
As far as blaming this on Luke; we don't know every little thing that happened during the Exile. We see a few snippets of something that has lasted for over an hour. And we get an edited dramatized version of the show itself. It's usually the reason why I wait until the reunion shows or to see what the participants have to say to make a judgment call. On the Gauntlet 3, again editing. During Robin's interviews she seems like a ***** but she was the one who poured water on Big Easy's head trying to cool him off. Evan was asking if Eric was alright and wanted to continue then Evelyn yelled, "He's clearly not alright." Everybody there was angry and justifiably so. A lot of things do get said in the heat of the moment or when you're angry. And you also have to realize that a lot of things are edited for dramatization.

Please explain...the athletic trainer in my high school told us he had to turn the hose on a coach who was suffering from heatstroke. As far as I know, if someone is too hot, you want to try and cool them down.

I'm with Moonpaw on this one...any time I've ever dealt with heat stroke or heat exhaustion we were always told to take the person to a cool area and cool them down by pouring lukewarm or cold water on them or putting ice packs in their armpits.
