Not quite as exciting, but has anyone watched the video clip at cbs.com? Took me a little bit to load w/dial up, but they don't show anything other than crayon type looking pictures. SOOO funny to hear Phil tell the story. Regardless of who is running the race, IMO it's Phil that makes the show worth watching! check out the video, don't know how long they will feature: cbs.com: "Phil Keoghan at a Nudist Resort Phil Keoghan has been to a lot of exotic places on THE AMAZING RACE, but none where nudity was the norm. Phil tells us his experience in going to a nudist resort for the first time." Although, it will be fun to see Oswold & Danny - weren't they the ones to stopped to sniff the perfume in Paris on their Fast Forward and then lost the race? They were a hoot as I recall!

I love Oswald and Danny. They not only sniffed the perfume, they went back and bought it. Didn't they have manicures too? Did Phil indulge himself in the nudey beach? It would make several on this board happy to see that.

I think I'm in the minority in that I like Rob and Amber. I think the way he treats her - very evident in their first time on TAR - is just wonderful. Especially when you see how some guys talk down to/ignore their GF or wives. They were both very encouraging of each other, never *yelled* or got snippy, certainly no name calling, and Rob was always concerned w/whatever made Amber happy. I certainly hope they are still like that w/each other for this race, guess we'll find out!

It's how they treat other people that I don't like.

I agree with you Lateeda. I have seen plenty of other competitors who treat their competion badly, so i don't think that is exclusive to R&A. I think it's far more telling how someone treats their loved one. In general, if they are nicer to the public than they are to their loved ones, I tend to wonder what we don't see.

Also Rob and Amber are very nice to the public as well. They just play a competitive game with the other teams.

Well, I like Romber AND the BQ's! I like tough competitors who treat the locals well and DON'T snipe and/or at one another. Both of these teams fill my criteria, so I will continue to urge them on in TAR!

I think I'm in the minority in that I like Rob and Amber. ME TOO!!! (Dustin and Kandice fan too) Also Rob and Amber are very nice to the public as well. They just play a competitive game with the other teams. As always Jimmer, you say it better than I ever can! To me, Rob and Amber are similar to Dustin and Kandice. When other's see them as rude or "mean" to other teams I just see it as COMPETITIVE GAMEPLAY. I really want to see a super competitive team win this season!!! Not some schmarmy "nice" team like David and Mary!

Trueheart... Jimmer says everything better than I ever could. Now all I do is post "Yeah... what Jimmer said." P.S. I'm also psyched about Rob and Amber and Dustin & Kandace!!! I'm crossing my fingers that David and Mary go... quickly!!!

Okay, I'm jumping on this bandwagon! I have always liked Rob and Amber. I could listen to Rob talk all day! I live an hour west of Boston and really don't like to hear anyone with that accent. But on Rob it's cute. And I also like Dustin and Kandace. They were my faves from last season.

Yay - Trueheart, Lexiegirl, and Lorie! I'll bet you guys liked the hippies too! The BIGGEST turn-off for me are teams who have "words" with each other. Mature people solve their problems with discussion - not yelling and accusations! IMO, of course!

Thanks all! I just like a good competition. I like to watch people who are more or less enjoying the experience, having fun and who treat their partner and the local people and the countries they are visiting with a reasonable level of respect.

I also like Rob and Amber - he makes me laugh. I agree with Tnt about the "word with each other" teams. For that reason I'm not too crazy about seeing Terry and Ian again and hope their time is short.

You can have one cheek on each couch, BUT - notice only the one T! - once one of the teams is eliminated, you MUST move to the remaining couch. Can you do that?
