I disagree Babyjaxmom.

Thinking wooden shoes come from Finland is ignorant. Telling an Asian person their ethnicity should make them better at paper tasks is nasty....just as nasty if someone told the Lyns their ethnicity would make them better at tribal dancing...

...its nasty and uncalled for, and is only overlooked because it was said by supposedly "positive" people.

... you could tell the Cho bros didn't appreciate it either...

Some people are just ignorant about geographical and cultural things. I know I've said some bloopers in my time! I'm glad so far my idiot statements haven't been spread across primetime television (and sometimes subtitled!).

Maybe it wasn't ignorance at all. Maybe it was one of those moments when a few minutes later she said "Duh" and realized that wooden shoes really come from Norway.

It's all too easy to say things that may be interpreted as inappropriate.

Someone just said that they couldn't tell the BQs apart. If the same was said about the Cho's, that might be looked at as a typical racist statement as well, though I'm sure there was no intent of that.

That would be me Jimmer.....

...they resemble each other quite a bit and they have matching attitudes...and its their attitudes that lessens my desire to even try to tell them apart....

But I feel the same way about the Lyns... I don't know which is which...and their attitudes makes me not really care.

Isn't Lyn the one with the rounder face and Karlyn the slimmer one?

I can't tell the blondes apart...and I am a blonde (well, some fo the time).

And I can't tell the model guys apart, and I haven't a clue which of the Chos is which of the Chos.

I think I've got Rob and Kimberly pretty much sorted out though.

My problem with the BQ's was that they thought their statement about the Chos and paper etc was funny. However, when the Chos suggested that the BQs be the ones that go out and find a local to help the four of them with directions, we get eyerolls and sarcasm.

That's the kind of thing that bothers me about them. They act as if whatever they do is just fine, but whatever others do is somehow nasty. It's a kind of arrogance that I personally find rather ugly.

To be perfectly honest, I thought the BQ was making an attempt at a joke. A bad one but a joke nonetheless.

And to be perfectly honest, saying someone is getting an advantage because her boobs are hanging out is just nasty. I noted, too, that right after that, both Lyn/Karlyn had really angry looks on their faces while they complained about the beauty queens getting by on their looks, and then they moaned that they were being judged on their looks. Um, no, hon. I'm judging you solely on the looks on your FACE! If you didn't have such as nasty disposition maybe people would be friendlier. Just sayin'.

It honestly sounded to me like the BQ was teasing the Cho brothers when she made the paper-making comment. That comment caught my attemtion, too, but she did say it in a teasing way, not a mean, nasty way. I think it was a bad joke that fell flat, but I didn't see it quite as ugly as some others seem to have. And the BQ's said that the Cho's thought that their looks were the "only" reason that they were getting anywhere. They didn't seem overly bothered by it to me, though. They seemed to give it the same "whatever" atitude that the Chos had about the paper-making comment.

And yes, Karlyn, I agree that when you wear that expression, your looks actually ARE a disadvantage! If I saw you coming looking like that, I would not only NOT offer to help you, I would look for the nearest place to hide.

If I recall correctly, I don't think the BQs were offended by the Cho's comment. They talked about it and then laughed and said that the Cho's were partly right.
