The Amazing Race and the Mercy Elimination - Page 2

Part of: TV Nights

I don't know about you, but I don't want to have to watch these two guys next week. Episode after episode, Dan and Andrew repeatedly do things wrong, don't read clues, act like fools or worse, and somehow manage to stay in the game. They even pointed out last night that there could be a really long clip reel of all their goof-ups this season.

If, by some sort of miracle, these guys manage to stay in the race next week and down the line actually win the million dollars, the producers could have a real problem on their hands. I understand that this is a reality show, but rewarding stupidity to that degree sends the wrong message. If you can win The Amazing Race without following any directions or reading any clues, what does that say about the show? Perhaps next season some team not even in the game will swoop in during the final leg and claim the prize for themselves.

No, I prefer to believe that Dan and Andrew are already gone even if their bodies remain.
