what i have a problem with is the pronunciation of the team; Galu! It is not pronounced that way and the producers of the show should have at least done their homework on pronunciation. As a Samoan, I feel that we as a people take certain thoughts in to names and why it is we use a certain name. I keep getting pissed every time they chant their name because of the pronunciation. Can't blame the participants because that is the pronunciation they were given....typical of palagi's to assume that every language would have the same phonetic sound as the English language.
I'm sure 1/2 the production team is Samoan--why didn't anyone speak up?
