I wish them both the best of everything in life! they are a nice young couple who have successfully parlayed their reality show experiences into something real and beautiful! I hope they have a long and happy life together!

As much as I dislike certain aspects of his racing, I think he really will be a wonderful husband and partner to Amber. She is lucky! By the way, how in the world did she make the Survivor All Stars? She wasn't that spectacular of a player the first time, was she?

Lynn and Amber had words during episode 7 that we were not shown. He called her some names but she didn't tell Rob about it and just ignored Lynn. Alex apparently wanted to ease tensions and talked to Rob about it. We may see some nasty remarks from Rob next week.

Huh, where did you hear that? I do get the idea that Alex really isn't snarky at all, or at least compared to Lynn. Wonder what was said?

See, that is an example of why A is a good partner for Rob! She didn't tell him about L's remarks - if there really were any to tell about! - because she knew he would react instead of keeping his head in the game.

Sea, both teams talk about it on the CBS AR website. It's on the episode videos....week 6 or 7. L/A admitted to coining the nickname Amberexia, and both of them sounded snarky when talking about her in the interview. There was more than just that one comment. Rob said if he had known about it, he wouldn't be in the race anymore. (The meaning I took from that statement and the way he said it, is that he would have punched someone, but that's open to interpretation since he didn't elaborate.)

I just went over to the CBS web site and watched some of the behind the scenes video. I had to turn off Lynn and Alex's rant re: Rob and Amber and what "pigs" they are. Just couldn't watch it. I still kind of like Alex, but Lynn is just so hateful and vindictive toward R/A. He's just way too focused on them in a personal way.

Baby, I know what you mean about having to turn it off. I watched/listened in disbelief at the intensity of the animosity being voiced.

LOL SEA. Lynn just has the hots for Rob and this is how he expresses it.

I went and listened to a few more video clips.. after hearing one of Alex on a plane, I am not changing my name to Alex after all. One clip that caught me by surprise.. apparently Gretchen has acquired more money and a clip shows Ron and Kelly wondering where Gretchen got this nice pair of cargo pants, long with all sorts of pockets and Kelly was wishing Gretchen would return her shirt because she is very short on clothing and let Gretchen have some of hers.. Ron is wondering why they took their money and now seem to have more to spend.. hmmm The clip of Phil on the rooftop talking about the traffic and nose in Lucknow is cute.

You can learn a lot from the video clips. Sometimes it's quite surprising and puts a whole new twist on what we've seen on the show. I was surprised by the clip with Gretchen's new pants too, Sea. Someone had posted that they bummed more money at the airport, so it makes you wonder just how well they made out? It does seem unwise not to pay back those who helped them as soon as they were able to. eta: I'm glad our SeaAngelMonkey has decided not to become SeaAlex!

It is almost pathological L/A's obsession and hatred towards R/A.

One may not like R/A, but those clips take away any doubt that L/A are upstanding individuals who have just been edited badly.

L/A's obsession and hatred towards R/A is pure envy because they already won the big bucks.

It really turns me off when people start talking about someone else's 'class'. It always has. I have never found it particularly high class to call someone white trash or low class.

And calling someone "evil".. sigh.. Interesting what Amber said that Lynn and Alex are convinced that they are being given "inside information".. as she said, and Rob agreed, kind of a compliment if they think they are doing THAT well!

Julieboo~my understanding about Amber getting on AllStars is that Colleen from S1 and Elisabeth from S2 both turned down a spot as "America' Sweetheart" and Amber was ready and willing to do it.

Thanks Roppie. I bet I could think of others that would fit the "sweetheart" role that might have been more survivor-like. Maybe Neleh. Or Christy!! hmmm would have to think for more...
