The Amazing Race 7: Episode 5 Epilogue

I would like to publicly offer an apology to Ray, Deana, Ray's anonymous friend who posted a comment to this blog and any other Ray and Deana fans out there in the world.

The morning after each week's episode of The Amazing Race the newly eliminated contestants appear on The Early Show. And the host always lets the contestants have it and calls them on all their bad behavior.

Ray apologized to Meredith and Gretchen for a rather harsh comment he made on last night's episode. He thought he was being funny.

And when the host called him on his dick-like behavior to Deana throughout the race. Deana defended Ray. Ray fessed up to the fact that if he had not provided the dick-like activities they would not have been able to portray him in that way. He also had obviously reflected on why he acted in this way, and attributed it to a football player mentality.

He admitted to his behaviour. He took accountability. I'm still glad he didn't win, but he did gain some esteem in my eyes this evening.

For the record: I don't think there is a single thing Rob can say in his post-elimination interview that will redeem him in my eyes.
