I enjoyed Rob and Amber on TAR, too.

I can live happily ever after not ever seeing Rob or Amber again. I hate it when they recycle reality players. Give the rest of the country a chance to play.

What I liked about Rob & Amber was that they were very good to each other in that show. They didnt yell at each other, they constantly backed each other up. I always heard Rob tell Amber what a great job she was doing. Because they know the team that works the best together usually gets furthing in the race. Now Rob was a bit mean to the other teams.

I thought Rob was funny figuring out ways to stay just within the rules. He's quite the character. Their wedding was beautiful, too.

I also enjoyed watching Rob and Amber on TAR. One of the things I like about Rob, is that he is protective of Amber and he made us laugh.

MAJOR RUMOR!!!! The Cleveland Plain Dealer says it's a DOUBLE ELIMINATION FIRST EPISODE!! There are two key destinations in the first ep...one in Bejing and the Great Wall of China. The last place team at BOTH locations are out!

FWIW, I hated Rob and Amber on TAR (as I really didn't enjoy them on either of their Survivor stints). And yes, I applied for TAR that season, so those reality "insert word here" people took a slot that "regular" people could've taken.

LOL I cant believe that so many people hated Rob and Amber (either on survivor or TAR) I loved them on both!!! Please dont hurt me!!! LOL To me Rob was like the Godfather on survivor..."You take care of her and I'll take care of you"....now I know he shouldnt even have his name in the same sentence as WILL...but...he was a bit of a puppetmaster on survivor and I respected that. He got people to do what he wanted. I also wanted him to win instead of amber. I hate it when the people who do nothing win because they didnt "do anything to make anyone mad". IMO the person who played the game hardest should always win. Not the floater or coat-tail rider or any other names for them! Sorry for my rant. suffice it to say that I enjoyed them thoroughly on both shows (I thought they were amazing competitors on TAR) and I agree that they brought a lot of new TAR watchers in because of their 'celebrity'. I really hope that Janie and Will do it as well!

Let Janie and Will get their own show. I really, really hate recycled contestants. I want new normal everyday people, not people with agents getting them on or wannabe contenders.

I saw an interview where Will said he and Mike Boogie were going to do TAR.

Heaven....tonight they showed an interview with Boogie on the TV guide channel. They were basically asking "Is Will dropping you as a partner for TAR?" because they showed a clip of the BB7 after party and on it the TV guide host interviews Will and Janelle. Will asks Janelle if she would do it with him. The Host says to Will "Well, what about Boogie?" Will was very vague and just kept saying he wanted to keep the "communication lines open....for any possibilities" So it's pretty much up in the air. Although Will did act like HE at least had the show "in the bag"...but that could just be his arrogance!!! LOL just another thing I love about Will Kirby....but seriously he and Janelle would be amazing competitors!!!

I hope CBS does a survey before they decide who to put on TAR so they will know that no one wants to see Boog on it or anything else

well, as the 'person' referred to in above posts, i DID watch all the TAR the year romber was on it. i wasn't totally "into" it or liking it as much as i did on TARs without them. i just tried to enjoy the others and pretend romber wasn't there. it's like having steak and potatoes and good wine...and then you see the fresh-packed spinach on your salad plate. it doesn't mean the rest of the dinner will make you sick. LOL ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ not finding any real favorites so far on the newest TAR, but some of them make me laugh. and i haven't seen any of them on other shows! that's a plus

I have watched every season of TAR (have it all on cds) and I had to try to ignore the romber team too. Also, the <55> team. I hate when they recycle these guys. Also, I think I heard that Will and Janelle cannot do it together as there is a rule that TAR contestants have to have at least a five year relationship. We can only hope.

wow, i wonder if that's true about a 5-year relationship. it would make sense to have to know someone well...but romber must have had the 'accelerated' relationship! it wasn't 5 years between their meeting on survivor and going on TAR, was it?

I've never heard of a five-year relationship rule...there have been couples on the show that don't seem to have been in that kind of a relationship. Kris and Jon for instance...

Rob and Kimberly have only been dating for two years. Now, it could be that they have known one another longer, but they haven't been dating for five years.

Didn't Dustin and Kandice meet at Miss USA or Miss America or something like that. That doesn't sound like a five year relationship.

What about that POW Ron and the beauty queen? Don't think they had a 5 year relationship. In fact - don't think they had a relationship.

I think it is only a year. Rob and Amber didn't know each other before they did allstars, so it wasn't five years. I'm pretty sure when they "cast" they can do what they want. But I do know that Janie's mom had it suggested that she do TAR with Janie which would be a 26 year relationship I do think TAR prefers that is is a longer relationship.

Rob and Amber knew each other before All-Stars through the Survivor circuit/parties, etc. So, they've known each other since their first seasons in Survivor.

There is no "five year" rule. At least there wasn't when my friend and I applied (although we'd known each other for longer than that, so it wouldn't have matteared anyways). Another reason I disliked Rob and Amber on TAR was that I thought they got an unfair advantage. There were a few times when they were recognized and helped out by locals. As Chilli said... recycling reality show contestants shouldn't be allowed. It's really unfair to the rest of the teams competing, it's unfair to those "normal" folks who apply. And truly, Mike Boogie would be just as distasteful to watch (yet again) as Rob and Amber were. BTW, I just checked the CBS Web site and here's what they say: quote:THE AMAZING RACE is not just a race around the world; it's a relationship show, so casting the Teams is extremely important. We look for Teams of dynamic individuals with a relationship that really "sparks" in response to things like stress, fatigue, hunger and fear of the unknown. In addition, because THE AMAZING RACE is totally unscripted, it is important that we cast people who can verbalize their thoughts and emotions easily and honestly. People who can be themselves with the cameras rolling, no matter what they might look or sound like, have the best chance of getting on the show.

I see what you mean R & A did get some favors by being recognized, but some teams get favors by knowing the language too I would love to see a Celebrity Amazing Race

It is unpredictable how people will react/crack under pressure. Recycled contestants know about the hardships that are not shown on tv. Rob & Amber never complained while the camera was rolling because they knew that editing can change what people say & do out of context. Better fresh faces.

I didn't like the concept of Rob and Amber, but I ended up enjoying the reality of them very much. Ali and Donny I didn't enjoy in conceptor reality}, but then I really do not enjoy bickering couples at all. Didn't like the concept of survivor all stars and didn't enjoy that season as much as some but it was ok. I didn't like the concept of BB all stars but enjoyed it,. And I enjoyed all of those shows far more than no show.
