Including Seacrest and Meg.
Most definitely.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I tend to think the Modern pentathlon would be the best survival skills indicator
See? I was talking about this yesterday, right? Isn't it the most awesome?? Biathlon is pretty cool too, but since it's only two sports, not AS cool.
I was thinking about it last night, though, like, how would they switch it up for a 21st Century warrior, though? Clearly horseback riding and fencing not so much survival skills anymore. You could leave in the shooting (though possibly change it from pistol?) and running and swimming...maybe change to some sort of Humvee or tank driving or other similar not-horse-but-similar-thing-we-use competition?? What else would you put in there?? I kept trying to think of things, and my mind was pinwheeling around IEDs and parachuting and all sorts of bizarreness that started to get too specific to Americans and Iraq and so on.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It was useful to confuse predators....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think meara just reinvented Grand Theft Auto.

Diving - Only if you're forced to jump off a high cliff to escape
Diving for....conches! I know there are free divers who do it to get some sort of other sea creature.

Hah! LIVE AS OLYMPIC SPORT! I love it. Um, only without the beating up prostitutes. That would be wrong.
Clearly in the FCM the Sarahs, I chuck SMG. But then....um...Marry Sara Ramirez, and F Sarah Shahi, because then I can cuddle up with Sara Ramirez EVERY MORNING because she is AWESOME and CURVY and FANTABULOUS? And Sarah Shahi is pretty darn awesome, but...uh....yeahhhh

What about a sport based on how far one can chuck Fabio?

Totally this.

Fencing, no, but there are cavalry units in Afghanistan. Machines can't get up in the crags and mountains like horses can.
