Mark Vader Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Well said...and I agree about the apology. The show has been on a long while and aside from a few teams who developed a case of "ugly Americanitis", I don't recall the show ever stepping into hot water or being disrespectful. Hopefully this was dealt with internally, as well, and the bonehead director or producer(s) responsible took a few well-placed smacks to the back of the head. I already stated that I had no problem with the Vietnamese song, but I did not mention anything about the B-52 sight. Which was definitely offensive. I am glad to see that CBS apologized for this, and I agree with aj, The Amazing Race has never dealt with controversy like this before. It is one of the few "Reality/Competition" shows that doesn't go out of it's way to be offensive. Remember, this is not the first time that the race has had a leg in Vietnam, but they never displayed anything like that before. As for last night's episode, could you believe what those bushmen were doing with those scorpions?! Edited March 26, 2013 by Mark Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That "spy" challenge was lame. There was no skill involved, it was all luck of the draw - run around the Tidal Basin until you find the agent who responds to you was the best they could do? A cynical person might even say that the game was fixed -- the hockey players were right next to the Buffalo couple, yet their agent responded, whereas Buffalo's agent was nowhere to be found. Pretty lame if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty lame if you ask me. Yeah the spy challenge could have been better. The "Titanic" or "Spray Paint" detour was much more difficult. Congrats to Bates & Anthony. It's not like Max & Katie didn't win anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, did anyone else find irony in the fact that the Buffalo Bills team came in 2nd place...? (although with recent history, I'd take that ... LOL ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
