I don't see any reason to be so het up about it.

It's often the first pie Americans associate with America (guess what type of pie they are talking about in the movie American Pie). And since it was an American pie challenge, I would have assumed they would look up what pies are associated with America. Apple pie would have been at the top of the list. I was surprised there wasn't one, but whatever. However, I think the reason no one did an apple pie is not because they didn't know the association, but rather that a bunch of contestants had done some variation of an apple tarte tatin or tart a couple weeks earlier. The earlier challenge is probably why there weren't any fruit pies either.

I think a lot of Americans latched on to that particular thing because apple pie is iconic for us. And the reason people were so hung up on the episode probably had more to do with the way they talked about American pies than anything else.

That's fine. Can understand why the confusion. What I can't understand is the indignation and anger. Like go ahead think of it as a great cultural icon. But it's not seen that way in the country the program originated from because it's part of our own food cultural landscape. That was the point of my secret. Frankly the reaction has been ridiculous.
