In addition to all the comments made about Rob and Amber passing by the rolled SUV, the host couldn't resist piling on, too. The production company is ready with a back-up in that kind of situation. This was demonstrated when the queens had a problem with that inflatable boat that failed on them a few episodes back. Proper help is always on standby.

If one of those folks had been seriously injured, what are the other contestants supposed to do? Move someone that has possibly sustained a back injury? Wrong. There is nothing they could do to help. Amazing Race is a meritocracy. You win by being faster and sharper, period. Contestants' displays of concern can get them ahead in a more social game like Survivor. In Amazing Race it will cost them. But boy, they were all so self-righteous, weren't they?

As for the POW "demanding" respect, I must have missed that. In any case, I sure don't begrudge him.
