I'm not a hater... I just don't like shows where the bad guy wins...

..give me the good guy riding off into the sunset with the girl after saving the town from the baddies!!! I got that feeling when Kim and Chip won... am still hoping the good guys can win in this season...

But, some of us think they are the good guys! LOL
Actually, I don't think any of the 3 teams left are 'bad' guys. There are just teams I prefer more than others.

How do we know yet that U/J did not have evil spewing from their mouths? Just like the show has been edited to make R/A the bad guys, maybe the show was edited to make U/J the good guys.

U/J probably were the nicest people on the race, but stranger things have happened in TV land.

We don't know for sure that Uchenna has not said anything bad. But we do know Rob has!

I would be happy if either Romber or Uch/J won the race. I liked each couple for different reasons. Romber kept me entertained and I thought they stepped up the level of play in this game. The teams had to always be thinking and watching. Both couples worked very well together. I also think that they will probably be the last two because they are the only couples who throughout the game, focussed on what they were doing and didnt spend a lot of time worrying about other teams.

I probably liked uch/Joyce best but there is no question for me Romber deserve to win too for the entertainment value they brought to the game.

I do not want Ron and Kelly to win. They were a waste as contestants. I dont believe they were ever a couple and were just set up as a publicity ratings getter.

Maris, dare I say it? Are you suggesting there might have been a CBS conspiracy that did not involve Rob and Amber?

Kep, take deep breaths!

there was a conspiracy, CBS put someone on the show who was devious, smart and extremely entertaining and personable. They put people on who could develop rapports with the locals and lo and behold they are in the final three.

The recapper on TWOP made a comment about Rob & Amber's habit of getting locals to stay with them for the day that made a lot of sense:

"You know, one of the Eagle-Eyed Forum Posters pointed out something very interesting this week, which is that one of the major advantages of the adopt-a-local method that Rob and Amber are fond of, as opposed to getting the same kind of help from a series of people the way most other teams do, is that teams have often talked about the delays that can come from the camera and sound guys having to get signed releases from everyone they talk to who's going to be on camera. You get yourself one guy who signs a release and he stays with you? You don't have to keep stopping for that. It's an interesting theory, and I don't know if it's the specific rationale, but it would certainly be an advantage."

Hadn't thought of that, but it would make a lot of sense and save a lot of time. It's certainly within the rules, and I'll bet the other teams would've done it, too, had they thought of it.

Go, Romber!!!!

BJM, that makes a lot of sense to me but it sure is going to hurt the conspiracy theory.

No matter how it goes, I bet this will be the most watched episode since the beginning of TAR.

I agree with Maris's first two paragraphs and the first two sentences of her third paragraph. HAHAHA!

I can't wait to see the episode tonight. Too bad I'm on the west coast...

*chuckles into her lunch...refuses NT's bait...

I still say those "carry alongs" were just a tad too conveniently placed... Even Rob had that evil glint in his eye when he said that the person on the train practically "begged" to be taken along... Then throw in the fact that suddenly, for the first time in AR history, pitstop 1st place prizes are awarded randomly and (surprise surprise) they just happen to be awarded everytime Rob comes in first...

Bigger conspiracy theories have been developed on less....

I want you guys to know that with my life being the soap opera it has been, I so appreciate being able to come here to this particular thread, especially this week, and know that not all mankind is evil.

Misguided perhaps, but not evil.

I can't wait to be here in about 8-1/2 hours to participate in the Rob/Amber victory celebration.

You know, Texannie, that when they sign those "release" statements, they're also agreeing to protect the conspiracy by not revealing that they were planted there to help Rob and Amber--and only Rob and Amber--by CBS!

we can say that Romber wouldnt have won if the earth was flat, since they ran circles around the other contestants.

My theory about the next theory:

Rob and Amber were not allowed to win because CBS realized that would be too obvious. They were told to act as though they were lost until the other teams passed them up. But, Rob, becoming crazed with thoughts of victory, will ignore CBS and win that million dollars. CBS will take back all the prizes. Rob and Amber will sue CBS and as part of the settlement, they will be allowed to be on Big Brother.

Oh see, if they had gone on BB instead of TAR I think I would have rooted for them! Their scheming and (Rob's) snarkiness wouldn't have bothered me at all on that show.

Anyway, about tonight, may the best team win!
