All of us have our faults. Unfortunately for me millions of viewers are getting to see mine each week. I do not abuse Victoria, what you see is a heighten version of stress and obsession mix with medication for a sickness called Sarcoidosis. What was started as a Publicity Stunt turn in to an obsession to race and be first at any cost. This is a GAME and I set out to be the Villain to others not to Victoria. Victoria and I are working on our relationship to better our self and learn from our mistakes. I am taking full responsibly for my actions on screen. Please allow me to make the effort.
I am deeply saddened by the storyline that CBS went with. I am sorry for my actions, I am sorry to Victoria. Most all I am sorry to the Fans of the Amazing Race.

The old Sarcoidosis excuse, eh? I heart random capitalization, a true sign of madness and "obsession."
And just as you'd expect, Victoria's apologia is a little shorter:

Don't worry, I am fine. Its a TV show and not a true reflection of our relationship. We both over reacted.
Victoria
She should have signed: Victoria, with gun to her head ... or maybe that's just Jonathan holding his finger back there
You picture the thought bubble.
And if you don't do it, they can't show it on TV. So shut up, Jonathan.
