It was truly horrible.

Yep the way Tricia and Pete were slagging off the Americans was disgusting. Shouldn't have been allowed to be aired. It's funny that Pete was defending the twins for most of the series but as soon as Tricia Penrose comes on and starts saying that Americans don't get our sense of humour, shouldn't be allowed on the show etc. Pete sided with her. It's the whole "she's one of us" attitude again. None of the BOTS audience seemed to disagree either which is even more worrying. Xenophobia, in particular on reality TV shows is a growing problem in the UK and it's not taken seriously.
