LOL, Nico. She does that, doesn't she? Pretty indicative of her IQ, no?

Oh I agree, Marameko, Rob has got to go.

I loved last night when Rob was all offended that Eric was telling Danielle to use her boobs. Um, weren't you the guy who wouldn't shut up during Survivor with your talk about Amber's behind? Just go away!

LOL at perception. I didn't get that Rob was offended, more like amused. I think he knew that if he yelled comments like that at Amber she would shove one of those fish into his face! And I think it shows that Rob has matured in some ways...he might have yelled something similar in the past.

I could not believe how Charla was saying something about how the Guidos better not "screw them over" like the BQ's did. The BQ's just chose not to pay the taxi driver and drove on. They in no way screwed over Mirna/Charla. And it's funny that Charla/Mirna are so sneaky and do whatever they have to get ahead, but condemn everyone else for doing the slightest thing they don't like. I guess I can add "hypocrite" to the long list of things I don't like about them.

* I never watched Survivor with Rob or Amber.

* I never watched anything else with them in it, including their wedding special.

* I have only ever seen them on The Amazing Race.

That said, I think they are strong, smart competitors. Yes, Rob brags. But they are always extremely supportive of each other, and they are constantly thinking outside the box. They are cool under pressure, and very sweet to each other.

Other than the fact that he's confident and can be braggy, and that obviously they're addicted to being on TV, I sorta don't understand why I wouldn't like them. (I'm not asking anyone to list the reasons, LOL, I'm just stating my opinion after having watched them on TAR).

They, along with Oswald and Danny (whose regular season I didn't watch, so this is my first time seeing them on TAR), are my favorite teams.

The first time Mirna and Charla were on I thought Mirna's behavior was annoying. Now I find her behavior downright objectionable.

I would be willing to bet they weren't squealing and flinching and carrying on!

You know it. That's why they didn't show them doing it.

I like Rob and Amber and The Chacha's and Uchenna and Joyce this season.

Rob can be the nice jovial guy...but I've seen what's underneath that plastic smiling exterior...

I can't get past his actions on Survivor. He did things that were downright nasty and mean which had nothing to do with gameplay at all. Rob ruled his tribe with an iron fist, he was domineering and acted like a major jerk...I've seen nothing in his subsequent appearances to change my perception of him. Him being a "winner" doesn't mean he's a good guy...cream isn't the only thing that floats...

In my opinion, Amber is what makes him respectable and likable. His true colors would have shown through by now, if Amber wasn't there...

Yankee...my two favorites are also Rob and Amber and Danny and Oswald. They all seem like cool people.

I have to say, I love Rob and Amber. Yes he has done things, but these are games they are playing, Survivor and Amazing Race and by golly, it is getting them wins! They seem to genuinely like one another and get a long extremely well. Look at home many other couples have bad mouthed each other, fighting, etc. and they never do.

Mirna and Charla are Armenian. English is their second language. When they are speaking slowly they have no accent. When they get excited <which they do have a tendency to do> or nervous the accent shows. An Armenian accent is very similar to a Russian accent. IMO it is not a phoney accent, it is real.

I did not like Rob or Amber in any of their appearances on Survivor and didn't really watch their last appearance on The Amazing Race, but I am finding myself appreciating their game play during this season. Say what you will about Rob, he knows how to play this game and they are doing pretty good at it. So, while I will never love them I can enjoy watching them compete.

Um, actually, isn't AMBER the only one who has "won"? Rob taggedf along on her coattails. They did not win their individual seasons on Survivor, they did not win their season on TAR. And I am praying to all that is sacred to me that they do not win this season!

And I totally agree with Kep... a large portion of my dislike stems from Rob's appearance(s) on Survivor. And I've seen little to indicate that he's changed.

We're just splitting hairs to suggest that Rob didn't win Survivor. Rob may not have won but he accomplished everything that he wanted to and was totally behind Amber's victory.

On TAR, they are clearly the best to have ever played based on number of winning legs. Sure they didn't win overall but luck comes into play there.

Ditto.

I made a bet before they won Survivor AS that if Amber won Rob would ask her to marry him. I wonder if she hadn't won . . .

Wow - While I thought Rob could be rather obnoxious on Survivor, I never have come away with that MUCH dislike of him. I think Amber has really been a good compliment to him and that's what I thought was happening when he commenting on what Erik was saying to Dani vs. what he might say to Amber.

I never knew Mirna and Charla's first language wasn't English. I still don't like how they behave. :-)

I'm not splitting hairs. He may be reaping the benefits, but he was NOT the winner of Survivor.

I seem to recall from Charla and Mirna's first season that they were fluent in several languages, and that was when I realized that English was not their first language.

Still not watching (not yet), but I've been trying to remember what I thought of those two. I can't recall that they seemed so obnoxious as everyone here seems to think this season.

Funny, too, but there are a lot of teams that I just wasn't all that wild about... maybe that's why I'm not into this All Stars thing (besides the two wannabe stars). I wasn't on the love boat for Team Guido, I didn't particularly care for Mary and David, I seem to recall lots of whining from Terry and Ian (although I do recall they did quite well), I have no recollection of Danielle, and I was disappointed to hear that Uchenna and Joyce were once again playing the "we want to see if we can work on our relationship while traveling all around the world and trying to win (another) million dollars" card. I do remember I enjoyed The Team Formerly Known as Team Cha Cha... I think they seemed to have a lot of fun (weren't they the ones who went shopping in the middle of a challenge or something?).

So who's left? Oh yeah, Go Beauty Queens!!!! :-)

I don't remember much about Charla/Mirna either. I probably just ignored them as whiney kids and focused on the more interesting racers. I disliked Team Guido considerably because of their arrogance and self-superiority. That hasn't come out yet this time. David/Mary were annoying and IMO took the place of much more interesting racers we could be watching. Danielle was one of the "pinks" on her season with a similar teammate. She can call Eric a gentleman if she wants to but no gentleman I know calls women "hos."

Absolutely love Danny/Oswald. Their competitors in their season used to get so mad at them because they not only beat them to the best planes, etc. but never broke a sweat doing it.

Go BQ's and ChaChaCha.

I didn't care for Terri and Ian from their season but I still remember Terri for the disposable undies lol. Don't care for the BQ's but they play well. Never liked Charla/Mirna but they were from Maryland and that's the only good thing bout them. And no english isn't their first language.

I think Chilli needs to get out of my head! We are thinking the same thoughts! :-)

And yup, Jimmer... although I've not yet seen them on this season, I did like them on their season.

ROFL Team Depends. What a riot!!! I didn't like Terri and Ian much at first (never saw their season) but they're getting better now. I reserve further judgment for further shows. LOL :-)
