The Amazing Race Nominated For 2008 Emmy Award

The Amazing Race has once again been nominated for an Emmy Award in the Reality Television category. It’s up against the usual contenders, including American Idol. With 5 Emmy’s on the shelf, I expect it to walk away with another.

Strategy in Confessions of the Beauty Queens

I’ve been having an interesting conversation over at Truth Is: Pagan Media that Bites regarding the Beauty Queens and their confession to Eric about their involvement in Yield-gate.

[...] Strategically, however, confessing to having a part in the whole thing may not have been the best thing. Now, some of Eric’s anger is focused at them in addition to Danny & Oswald. However, by partially confessing to their involvement, they have also introduced some fogginess in the story. [...]
