I can't believe I'm actually about to defend TO (maybe his departure from the NFC East made me like him more). I just watched the first episode of "The Superstars" on DVR, and it is clear that in Joanna Krupa TO finally found the one thing we never thought he would: a worse teammate than himself. Every other team had partners encouraging each other. Capriati totally shat the bed on two straight challenges. Her partner was very supportive. Lisa Leslie got caught in the cargo net and then went out the wrong way. Her partner was very supportive. TO (who was very supportive of Joanna throughout), got his foot caught in the cargo net in one of his trips through the obstacle course, and it totally derailed Krupa. Here is the video (and this is only one part, it got a lot worse).
In the final heat of the obstacle course, TO got his team a lead, which Krupa blew. And yet, after it finished all she could do was scream "you call yourself an athlete!?" I think TO's teammates are justified in just about everything they have ever taken up with him. However, his athletic prowess is really the one thing you can't question. She looked foolish.
TO stayed very calm and pleasant throughout, and even had a great line on the way out: "I feel sorry for her boyfriend."
