The Amazing Race (2001)
another rigged season
Season 36 was even worse than Family Edition, and the producers had to really try to beat that season for worst. It was clear 'Team Ringer' was going to win in the first 5 minutes of the first episode, and boy the season didn't disappoint. Let's see, a flamboyant team with a native Spanish speaker, check. Travel exclusively around South America, check. Some real life familiarity with every challenge, check. Never get lost (native Spanish speaker), check. End in the home city of Team Ringer, check. I only finished because we've watched every season. At this point, when Amazing Race gets canceled it's the producers fault. I'll watch next season because I love the show, but this will be my last season if it's rigged again. Certainly this wasn't the first rigged season, but it was by far the worst.
Nancy Drew: The Judgement of the Perilous Captive (2021)
"You're one of the good ones"
In previous episodes, the police in small town Maine are not woke enough to realize how racist they are? A billionaire savior comes into town and tells "white people" jokes? Now, "You're one of the good ones" in this episode.
These race focused sub-plots are completely overwhelming otherwise watchable episodes. I think there were some important things happening for Nancy in this episode, but I was so completely turned off by the racial dialog that I couldn't tell you what else happened.
I'm giving myself an hour back every week.
