For Realz?: It's A Noun, It's A Verb, It's The Amazing Race Next Week

TV post by Rita Hao on April 12, 2009 - 10:11pm; tagged reality TV, The Amazing Race, the word bitch.
127_amazing_race_468.jpgAs your feminist reality TV blogger, I've got the standard (short) list of complaints about The Amazing Race to run through: why hasn't an all female team ever won in the 14 seasons the show's been on, are the women being unfairly edited to look more shrewish under pressure than the men, etc etc., but I've got a new one for you: looks like we're going to have a discussion over the impact of the word "bitch" next week!!
