Entertainment Weekly is certainly entitled to their perspective, but I don't think it's the definitive assessment of Rob and Amber.
We don't know anyone who knows them. We know people who have competed against them.

Brenda:

The people who wrote Rob/Amber's letters was very unkind and it was written by a fellow racers, people who knew them and had to deal with them.

Uchenna's tone when he mentioned having to ride the boat with Rob indicated that Uchenna wasn't really liking that idea...

This is Uchenna's second race with Rob. I think Unchenna's view is based on actually knowing him, or at least knowing a bit more than just watchiing him on tv....

While Amber was just playing the game to tell Charla and Mirna that she had the clue, she was really stupid to lie at the dock. She had just been bragging to everyone on the dock about how she lied to them. When confronted she should have said that she was playing the game. By lying she let those left on the dock know that she is lying for the sake of lying. If they had remained in the game, everyone else would have known that Rob wasn't the only liar on that team. I'm happy that they are gone. Good ridance to bad....

I don't think they will, but I wish Charla and Mirna win. They really are good racers. I have no problem with their personalities.

Let's not forget that Uchenna was so psyched to see Rob and Amber gone that he met Charla and Mirna at the mat--a very unusual thing to do on this show.

I wouldn't put a whole lot of emphasis on letters written by a defeated team that was unhappy with the outcome. Most of the competitive teams on the race (e.g. the BQs, Eric & Danielle, Oswald & Danny) had nothing bad to say about Rob and Amber and even worked with them occasionally during the race.

As far as playing to the cameras go, on a reality show they are all more or less playing to the cameras. Also I think it is kind of reaching to try to make a negative thing out of Rob and Amber for not being bitter about losing.

Sure Uchenna was psyched to see Rob and Amber gone. Who wouldn't be? He knew that they were by far his toughest competitors.

and Uchenna's distaste at having to share a boat with Rob was a bad taco he had earlier?


yeah...right...

The lying on the dock was funny... If I'd been there I would have let Amber finish her "lie" then innocently ask Amber why she was bragging about sending them in the wrong direction...LOL

I like them, Twinkie! I'll miss them in the race, too!

Speaking of Uchenna meeting Mirna and Charla at the mat, did anyone else think it was a little bit "off" to allow Uchenna to help Charla to the mat? If it had been a closer finish, it could have made a difference. She may have fallen and not been able to get up or something like that. BTW - I saw Rob and Amber on Regis and Kelly and Amber said they made it look like the finish was a lot closer than it was. They were way further behind. I guess that's why they didn't make an issue with Uchenna helping Charla. It's just they always make them "stick to the rules" like last week when the BQs had to go back and get their clue. I wonder if there's anything about a team which has already finished helping one that hasn't? :-)

What did Charla/Mirna think Amber was supposed to do? Say, "Oh, you're going the wrong way. The clue isn't down there?" Charla/Mirna should concentrate more on what THEY are doing instead of always looking for help and being mad when they don't get it.

And as for the nasty letter to Amber/Rob, I wouldn't read too much into that saying anything about their personalities. Susan/Patrick were extremely unpleasant people and I would be leary of their opinion of anyone. Not saying Amber/Rob are wonderful people (or that they aren't), just saying consider the source on this one.

please refresh my memory--who wrote rob and amber's letter? and what did it say exactly (i don't know what was going on here--my older daughter is home from college and there was a lot going on i think).

Just to answer a couple things:

Ladybug...The show in Vegas that was on FoxReality with Rob and Amber has already ended. They still show repeats of it.

Watching2...Rob mentioned that he and Amber were 10 minutes behind C&M

I'm enjoying the race...I like some teams over other teams,but I won't make comments or judgements on people that I don't personally know (not my style)...shoot, I don't even know anybody who knows somebody that personally knows anyone on the race...but I love seeing all the beautiful different countries.

I will miss Rob and Amber. They are fun and entertaining and don't whine or fuss with each other. I hate whining, so wish C & M would be swallowed up by a whale! They are our only remaining MAJOR whiners, and I don't look forward to watching them for many more weeks -

OT - Christchurch, NZ, is the "jumping off spot" for Antartic explorations and our guide/lecturer (female) there had done FIVE seasons "on the ice."

Myself I have been Rob and Amber fans since Amber was in FHM. Luckiest guy in the world = Boston Rob.

To tell the truth with them gone I am really not too interested in catching all the remaining shows. I will watch the final to see who wins, but watching them herd rats or whatever will not be the same without Rob there to stir the pot.

PS: You know the game is on the up and up because if they had any choice at all you KNOW there is now way that Rob and Amber would have been eliminated. They would have had their money taken from them and been allowed to be on at least one more show.

So is Ushuaia. It's a jumping off spot from S.A.

Beautiful areas they have have visited so far. We went to many of the city's and villages several years ago.

Count me in as one who will miss Rob and Amber. I won't get so excited about Sunday nights now that they are gone. And someone posted that people that actually "know" Rob and Amber don't like them. If they were speaking of Uchenna and Joyce and any other racers, I don't consider that these people "know" them. They only know them from the perspective of the race. And it's a race for a million dollars. That's much different than someone who knows them on a day to day basis.
Sad to see you leave the race guys but hopefully for me, we'll see you on something else soon!!!

Didn't Susan and Patrick write the letters to both Rob and Amber and Uchenna and Joyce? And if I remember correctly Patrick was a little whiny <57>on his season whose mother pretty much had to drag him along...and he was super jealous of Rob from the start of the race. As a matter of fact I remember he was one of the original players to tell how much he hated Rob (right from the start) and wanted to beat him.

I watched the Finish Line yesterday because Rob and Amber were the guests. Late in the show Mary called in to tell them how much she loved them. Then they talked about how Amber had taught Mary how to swim while they were at Elimination Station and Rob asked how David was doing (he was at work).

They also mentioned how they had gotten to know Jill and Jon Vito at Elimination Station and that they had watched the show Sunday with Jon Vito at his apartment.

I like Rob and Amber and don't think they are really as horrible as many make them out to be. They are missed by at least one.

I don't understand all the blasting of R/A for not being 'nice' people, but at the same time Mary and David who are very nice people are critisized for not being good competitors.

Personally for me, I enjoy watching teams who like to race, who realize it's a competition, operate with a minimum amount of whining and treat each other respectfully. R/A are certaninly not the only team that fits this definition, but there are many teams that do not.

Robfather was highly entertaining on the first Survivor that he was on. I disliked him, but admired him.
When Amber was on Survivor the first time, I thought she stayed a lot in the background, was aligned with Jeri, and didn't see much of Amber.
When they were on Survivor All Stars, I loved the way Rob manipulated everything...I think he was awesome...
When they got married on TV, it was like watching someone I knew, and I thought it was very pretty..
Now on The Amazing Race, I wanted them to win...Amber and Rob did not bicker and get angry with each other. Rob is a very smart player, I am very sorry to see them eliminated...
I do not like the bickering, nasty teams....so now that Romber is gone...have to root for Danny and Oswald!

Such a shame to see Rob and Amber go! It shows how just one mistake can make such a difference. Great competitors, and great to watch. Yep, I'm rooting for Danny and Oswald now too.
