The most heartbreaking TV show ever

Tonight's Amazing Race result is one of these things which makes you question the existence of a just and loving God, especially when you consider that Jonathan hasn't been hit by lightning.

Spoilers ahead...

The circumstances under which Lena and Kristy were eliminated are almost too depressing to write about. (The teams had to unroll bales of hay on a Swedish farm looking for a clue. There were 20 clues hidden among 207 bales - and poor Lena spent seven hours unrolling over a hundred bales, without any luck, while all the other teams - even two who had fallen several hours behind on the nightmarish IKEA task - moved on. They didn't even make it to the pit stop - Phil showed up two hours after the second-to-last team had checked in to end their misery.)

Of the five teams I actually liked this season, three of them were the first three teams eliminated. Life - and reality television - just isn't fair.
