Okay, so this is a reality game show, but I just love spy stuff. At least it is partially educational, with the contestants having to learn how to be spies.

What channel is it on?

I'll give it credit; learning to be spies is more socially helpful than learning to break truces, sleep with everyone else's partners, and stab people in the back.

Which is what most reality shows seem to center on.

Okay so I saw the last episode of this show and I was shocked when they flashed a dedication to the runner-up at the end of the show. Apperently, she died just after the taping of the show. Some sort of carbon dioxide poisoning. It's very sad, because she wasn't stupid like many of the other people on the show.

I also learned that to be a good spy, you have to be simultaneously very confident and very, very paranoid.
