It just cheapens the show.
Really? I don't think it cheapens the show at all to have the contestants eat the food of the culture. This ain't Fear Factor, where it's gross for the sake of gross. As Phil said, it may sound distasteful to Americans, but it is a very common food in China. That's part of what makes this show so good -- learning about other cultures and seeing that, in some cases, "disgusting" is nothing more than cultural preference. Maybe some time they can have the contestants eat mountain oysters or scrapple.

And was it one of the cheerleaders or one of the Miss Americas who commented that the eyeballs really weren't too bad.
