Episode with the kids


I never used to watch this show when it originally aired, but I've been watching reruns. I thought it was pretty exploitative. Then they had the episode with the parents and kids. Oh my. Having children sit there while cockroaches are poured over them and biting them. That seemed wrong to me.

Then watching the girl balancing up there for half an hour in the cold, waiting for wind do die down enough so she could grab the flags was heart wrenching. Well, at least the jerk dad with his jerk-in-apprentice son didn't win.

I remember when that episode first aired, I loved that the boy didn't win. Now watching it again, I'm still glad he didn't, but agree the show was too much for kids to have a part in.
