What is wrong in referring to U/J as 'the black couple'? Black is not a derogatory word.

I totally agree, the easiest way to distinguish U/J is to say they are the black couple. Just like the easiest way to describe G/M is to say they are the old couple.

It was Phil who said that Rob/Amber came up to him to find out how to be on the show. I remember the comment because at the time, Phil didn't know who they were and asked someone because they were so...um..."interested"... Aaron may be relating something Rob told him during the course of the show....certainly sounds like a Rob falsehood...intimidate the competition by making them think CBS WANTS them to win... I wouldn't doubt it...

How does Aaron have anything to do with this season anyway? He was on last season.

FINALLY the plane thing resolved: Rob & Amber said on the Tonite Show that the jetway moved--not the plane!!!

They also said that the doors were locked and the flight attendants had already started the safety message. But, most importantly, they were very gracious and said that 'if we couldn't have one, the one couple who we really wanted to, who were the most deserving and great players were U/J.'

Did they happen to mention that Rob had asked the ticket agent to lie to U/J and tell them that there wasn't a faster/earlier plane? (and the ticket agent did lie to U when he asked) U said that they didn't show any of that on TV but that's why he was so upset with the agent when he went back and saw that there was another plane.

Rob must have forgotten that piece of information jake. LOL When I think of Rob and the word "gracious", I laugh.

I couldn't be happier with this result! I love it when the good guys win! It brought tears to my eyes. And much as I don't like Rob's arrogance, I don't think he was being racist--he was commenting on the stereotype of all three couples--the Survivor couple, the POW couple, and the black couple. He wasn't reducing anyone--he was making a snarky comment about how TV was going to reduce them.

Lynn and Alex are getting married tomorow in Ottawa. Etalk Live did interviews from their bachelor party (since the wedding itself is private even though it is sponsored by a radio station). Uchenna and Joyce were there as are the Mom and son team. ETA: yesterday they showed tapes of the other team members sending them best wishes . I must admit, although I have never been a Romber fan, Rob's message was great. He was very supportive of the wedding and their courage to do it.

I find it interesting that (from that link Yankee posted on 5/15) that Joyce and Uchenna hadn't gotten their money yet. There was mention of creditors, but said they would spend the money on in vitro (I thought they were getting a free round of in vitro and also mentioned maybe adopting). I'd think the creditors would be putting liens on that money. I know you cannot just walk away with Lotto winnings in California if creditors find out. Personally, I'd have a difficult time stiffing creditors and spending big bucks on what has to be a long shot, at Joyce's age and with a past in vitro failure on the books.. Just saying..

I'm sure they will be very happy together - especially since he knows he is worthy of fathering her children.
