Looks more like he won _because— he was a gringo.

Hey ryan: because of you, a bolivian baby doesn't have its tampico flavored lead paint supply.

You sir, are the Grinch!

This reminds me of this game show in the Philipines called 'Wow Wow Wee.' Most of the audience consists of ex-pats and their kids who donate money to fund the prize pools so the down trodden can make fools of themselves on state. Inevitably, an 'americano' (a slowly being phased out short hand term for 'white dude') pops up, starts dancing and yes, the cameras are fixed on him for half an hour. He then gets approached, then voulenteers comments like 'Yes, I'd like to thank the Philipines for having such beautiful women!' If my ex, a pasty white girl of German/English descent ever appeared on that show with me, she'd get treated like some kind of space alien.

Thanks for the post. That guy sounds like he could not be LESS interested in recounting his tale. Also, it is amazing the role that bikini-clad women play in Latin American television -- that is to say, every role.

Take THAT Honduras! Your Honduran game show winners have been a thorn in our sides for TOO LONG NOW.

I'd rather watch Chris Farley's game show appearance.
