It's ironic because the Wii version of Pyramid got that wrong also, that the capital of New Zealand is Auckland. If you need proof watch Loogaroo's review of it.
@jprogman I know right. Seeing these contestants makes me want to keep on trying out for the show. I can play the game, it just that I have not gotten picked yet.
@HopkinsHopkins There's a difference between "stupid" and "ignorant." We're all ignorant. Every human being on the face of this planet is born ignorant, lives ignorant, and dies ignorant. It's "stupid" that's problematic. "Stupid" is a type of "ignorant" that is caused by too much stubbornness or pride.
I'm beginning to sense the lack of intelligence from contestants in recent seasons. Also, such a coincidence that New Zealand was mentioned just day(s) after the earthquake made the news.
But he did know the other night about William Henry Harrison and his pneumonia after his long outdoor spech, and his death 30 days after becoming president.
@HopkinsHopkins No. I am not too familiar with that country at all. I know where it is. Other than that, I really don't know much about it. I'm not stupid, and neither are these contestants. Not everyone knows about New Zealannd. Stop trying to act like we all should. Now, if it was something here in the U.S., it would be a different story...
@jimmyPain2121 : The Once and Future King, everything George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, and Charles Dickens. 180 lbs. and i still haven't ever heard of auckland. don't put all of us into the same boat. it's ignorant. p.s. you should read a spelling book.
Ive been to Auckland, great place, but I wouldn't really expect every American to know of it, but after they had a..kland they should of got it. Americans are typically bad at international geography. P.S I thought Wellington was the capital, not Auckland
@CoolNala Actually dude you should know where New Zealand is. Its called geography. Just cos you live in the USA doesn't mean you don't have to know basic information about the rest of the world. How insular/ignorant. Im not from USA and I know all states & capitals. Pick up a map and learn about the word around you. Please.
Wow..........if it weren't for the Amazing Race 2 , i wouldn't have known the capital of New Zealand is Wellington

It's the capital actually? Oh Pat. At least they corrected him at the end.
@lilster1234 Umm.. Auckland hasn't been the capital of New Zealand since 1865. I don't think that's what got him confused.
@brthekid456 do you mean FOOD-burning stove? :p
@jprogman I know right. Seeing these contestants makes me want to keep on trying out for the show. I can play the game, it just that I have not gotten picked yet.
If Auckland is the capital of new Zealand then I'm Jesus! Just because Auckland is bigger does not mean it takes wellingtons place as capital! RAWR!
This makes me really, really sad. People are really fucking stupid.
Arlo I'm beginning to wonder how they auditioned to get on the show!
@CoolNala I meant New Zealand there. Stupid keyboard!
Vanna is still on? She must be 70 years old!
She was born in February 1957
Wow...this looked like a really ugly game. Low score wins all around the last round before the bonus round.
Dear New Zealand- and the world,
I'm sorry.

P.S. I knew the answer. And also that it wasn't your capital.

Wow....just wow.
I thought it was a territory of Australia.
But he did know the other night about William Henry Harrison and his pneumonia after his long outdoor spech, and his death 30 days after becoming president.
thats just sad, your the capital of thicktown
theres a moment of pause and he says "Auckland New Zealand" with a huge sense of doubt.. WTF???? SERIOUSLY????????????!!!!!!!!!!!
He needs to look at a map because Auckland is not the capital Welington is

Heh, I knew that Auckland was the largest city in New Zealand, but I thought the capital was Christchurch. Oops.
The capital is Wellington. 🙃
Wheel of fortune
wow.................
@HopkinsHopkins I think I can explain why. People in our county watch Fox News all the time. 'Nough said.
Oakland New Zealand
I never even heard of that city. So, I agree with those contestants!
Christina should have gotten this...but it only took Brent 2.3 seconds to solve this puzzle...
@HopkinsHopkins As a non American, I'm not sure you have any credibility here.

New Zeland people are acting like the U.S. should care about their tiny country's capital. lol.
