For those who think running a marathon isn't challenging enough, there's the Ironman Triathlon. Held Oct. 13 in Kona, Hawaii, the über-endurance world championship airs Saturday on NBC (Dec. 1, 4:30 pm/ET).In addition to elite athletes, the race also features everyday folks — and reality stars. Andy Baldwin, best known as the (still single) star of last spring's The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman, was one of the 1,700 racers.

After 10 seasons of The Bachelor and three seasons of The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison informed us tonight that only four couples are still together. In addition to our newest couple, Charlie and Sarah are happily living together in Los Angeles; Byron and Mary are cozy in Texas and will wed in the fall; while Trista and Ryan have been married for four years and are expecting a little one at the end of the summer. And on a bittersweet note, my favorite bachelor of all time, Andrew Firestone, recently proposed to his girlfriend, which sadly means he is once again off the market. In years past, the reunion show meant we got to see all of the ladies one last time, as they rehashed their feelings with one another and fired uncomfortable questions at the bachelor.
