By real (meaning "actual") world standards, 37 isn't exactly old age. But in Challenge land, it's damn near geriatric. And even though Mark came of age during the early 70's (and gained brief television notoriety in the early 90's with his season, Road Rules: Paleolithic Era) dude's right up there with Landon and Evan! And we couldn't be prouder of ol' Grampa Eight-Pack!
Yep, thanks to Mark and his amazing age-defying body, we're officially less terrified of hitting the big 3-0. Plus, we're actually starting to believe Mark's freakish athleticism and extra decade of life experience MIGHT be enough to overtake Landon (or, um, whoever) in the final challenge!
So we say, keep up the good work, Daddy-o! As long as you don't fall down and break your hip -- you just might have dem whippersnappers beat! 'Specially if you remember to take plenty of cod liver oil, do your daily calisthenics and keep competiting like it's 1993!
+ Think Mark's all that AND a bag of Epsom salts? Or is he more watery than a tall glass of Metamucil? Tell us whether you think this old geezer's got a shot at the big money!
