I think we will just have to agree to disagree. To me, telling someone to f-off and calling them evil is worse than calling someone immature.

Julie - I heard that clip too and not trying to defend Rob against L/A but in that particular clip Rob was reacting to just finding out what Lynn had said to Amber in the airport. Amber never told Rob til just then, and Rob said good thing he didn't know at the time it happened or he (rob) would no longer be in the race. Meaning he was pretty mad at the way Lynn talked to Amber. Sounded to me he meant there might have been more than words for Lynn if Rob had heard Lynn. For this particular time really can't blame him for being mad at the way someone treated Amber.

Mirna and Chip had a hatred for each other far more intense than Lynn and Rob.

Rob seems to be brushing off Lynn during most of the race and Lynn is all in a twist about it until the showdown. Lynn's attack of Amber showed he couldn't face Rob. Even Lynn said he made a snide remark to Amber.

L/A may come off as witty to some onscreen but when you see their words in print they seem self righteous. They played the entire race obsessed with R/A.
Who are they to decide who can or cannot be in AR? Now they want to be in another reality show but resented R/A from day 1.

They may want to be in another reality show but they pretty much did themselves in on that score. If they were the least bit savvy, they would have realized that R&A are the darlings of the producers and CBS. How could they think that by harping so much that R&A dont belong there and constantly tearing them down, that they would have any future or get the support of CBS.

L&A are not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. CBS is counting on everyone loving R&A that is why they invested in the wedding and will be showing it at sweeps week.

I must say it puts a smile on my face to think of L&A sitting at home watching R&As wedding, while Phil plays best man. L&A would have been a lot wiser to downplay their hatred of R&A on their early show appearance.

I think Lynn and Alex act immature and are not aware of that. I hope someday they do become aware of it and change their behavior accordingly.

I did like Lynn and Alex and thought they were very funny, as well as sweet with each other, but they would have been so much more enjoyable had they dialed down the Rob-hate a little. Name-calling is not pretty.

Yep, if they dialed it down a bit, I bet a lot more people here would have liked them... Oh well.

hmmmmmmm...one of the reasons that L/A didn't like R/A was that they had been on a reality show............such irony!

Failed Amazing racers hot properties

By TARA MERRIN -- Calgary Sun




They may not have crossed the finish-line first on the Amazing Race, but gay couple Alex Ali and Lynn Warren could potentially be this season's big winners.

The boys from Hollywood, eliminated on last week's episode, quickly became fan favourites (therefore hot-properties for TV executives) on Race 7.

They are flamboyant, hilarious, compassionate and all-around good TV -- all traits that will likely lead to their own show or, at the very least, a turn on an all-star version of the world-wide race.

"There are whispers and chats about an all-star race for the 10th season. We would love to be a part of something like that," says Lynn.

Lynn and Alex, who are both TV producers, have pitched a show about gay couples living in different cultures to several networks including MTV's new gay network Logo.

"People from the TV industry have also approached us about other projects -- we would love to have our own talk show or reality show," says Alex, adding don't expect to see them soon because "CBS owns us for a year."

Fans can tune-in to see the duo on the May 10 finale.

Although they now know how it ends, Lynn and Alex say after leaving the show they had only one wish -- please don't let Boston Rob and "Amberexia" (Survivors Rob and Amber) win.

"They were literally hand-held to the mat the entire time," says Alex, adding he and Lynn were not invited to Rob and Amber's April 16 wedding which will air May 24 on CBS. "Rob is very manipulative -- he manipulated Amber into giving him half her $1 million. Can you say prenumpt, prenumpt, prenumpt?"

So who do they want to see cross the finish-line first? Meredith and Gretchen (because it would be a shock) or Uchenna and Joyce, they say.

"We wanted them to win so they could have a child. That is something we bonded with them over -- we both went on the race so we could win enough money to adopt a baby," says Lynn, who with Alex were eliminated after a cabbie drove them to the wrong pit-stop.

But, with the bad comes the good and the future is certainly looking good -- aside from their almost certain future in TV, the couple is looking at adopting and maybe taking a trip north.

"We want to come to Canada," says Lynn. "We are considering coming there to get married."

Now that's a wedding that should be on TV

I don't think you need a million $ to adopt a baby.

Please! No adoption for awhile for them! Alex is only 22 and they both need to grow up some first!

Adoption is expensive, but it doesn't cost a million!

I think they are wanting a tv series more now anyway.

Let's see..

1. They are TV PRODUCERS? Hello? Why were they listed as administrative assistents? And what was their motive going on the show.. to gain fame and fortune with future shows.. just what they hate so much about Rob and Amber.

2. All Star TAR.. Oh I hope NOT.

3. All Star TAR with Lynn and Alex.. even worse.

4. Compassionate? "Good TV" Sounds closer to Rob than to Lynn.

5. Their comments on Rob and Amber's relationship? none of their business and interesting that Amber felt like Alex was more mature than Lynn in that relationship, while Lynn/Alex pretend to be "concerned" for Amber.

6. Fan Favorites? Not THIS fan.

7. Adopting a baby? Please grow up first, boys.

8. Whispers about all star TAR? Bet those whispers are all coming from former teams I really don't want to see again..

Methinks they are re-writing their script and stealing quite a bit from Rob and Amber and Joyce and Uchenna. And they resent Rob and Amber so much because they did what the boys thought they would be doing, only so much better.

Th irony is that if there is an all star TAR, just as likely Rob and Amber would be asked because they are "good tv"..

Oh I just cant wait to watch another talk show like the view only this one being hosted by a pair of bitter noboby's. Adopt a baby? that is just about as true as Krista and Mike Boogie wanting to get married. Maybe Lynn wants a kid but Alex is too self involved to think of anyone else besides witty bitty him.

i watched the LIVE webcast last night for the academy of television arts and sciences (the emmy people) who had phil and the creators and the casting director. and they all said that all-stars was not something in the cards. and also you could see they loved rob and amber. that les moonves (the head of CBS) was right on pushing the amazing race to let rob and amber be on the show (bert van muster - the creator said this). you can watch the recording of the show here: the amazing race

LOL, Ladytex, and Coby being able to say that about himself makes him someone I'd listen to.. as opposed to Lynn and Alex.. At least Coby has self-awareness.

I hope someone will have the patience to recap that Amazing Race video from the Emmy people.. I tried but after listening for over three minutes to an introduction that seemed to go nowhere, I couldn't stick with it.. probably I'm just cranky still from the aftermath of my root canal. Also I hate to have to listen to something that traps me, can't fast forward, can't just read.. ack.
