INDY REVIEWS
Score: 7.3 / 10 
The Amazing Race
I have been simply staggered by the number of people in the street who, over the past week, have halted their day-to-day chores and illegal drug dealings in order to sprint towards me and compare notes on last week's episode of The Amazing Race.
"Why, Indy?" goes the repetitive refrain. "Why, for the love of all that is holy in reality television, did the ninety-three year old couple Gretchen and Meredith respond to the Brains or Brawn detour by choosing Brawn??!? Why would such feebly wretched specimens choose to drag half a dozen boats a total of a couple of miles rather than solve a trio of ludicrously simple puzzles? What could possibly have driven them?" And then, invariably, I have been grabbed by the lapel and shaken.
Having dispensed with my lapel-wearing days, however, can I offer this counter-thought: could you not argue that the stupidity of that decision actually justifies the decision to not choose Brains, thereby rendering the choice non-stupid and thereby, in turn, revoking the justification of which I just spoke making it stupid once more and therefore not so much and so on and so forth forever. The Amazing Race - once more justifying its existence with a master class on logical paradoxes.
Begone,
-- Back to all tv
