Wiki is never reliable since I can go on there right now and edit it to say that the first location was China, four teams were eliminated, and the show was canceled.

The Cowboys are from southern Oklahoma, about 2 hours up the highway from me. This part of the United States had Spanish/Mexican influence for 300+ years before English speaking early Americans arrived. From Texas all the way to Southern California, this area has always had a very multi-cultural heritage. It is very common to say "Gracias and De Nada" as much as it is to say "Thank you and Your Welcome." It is no big deal, just habit and very common. I do it all the time too. If you want to understand a little more about this part of the world, then see if you can find a movie called "Giant" starring Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor....from the novel by Edna Ferber.

No, Charla and Mirna always said "rapido" whereever they went. But the use of rapido is pretty common here too.

As someone from a state that has an extensive Spanish population and who speaks a little Spanish, I also find myself using "gracias" occasionally - even when speaking to someone that may not be assumed to speak Spanish. I think it is a more flowing word / phrase and slightly more "gracious" than "thank you" or "thanks". Anyway, due to culture overlap, movies, etc, I think most people know what "gracias" means especially in multicultural countries like the USA and Australia.
