Didn't like 'em the first time on Survivor. Didn't like 'em the second time on Survivor. Still don't like 'em. And to be honest with you, doubt if I ever will. I really don't want to watch them on TAR. And because THEY got on the show, regular people (like me) didn't.

This just cracked me up: 6115,1033361_3|0_0_,00.html,link Rob and Amber Sure, you want to hate the Survivor champs. But say what you will, Rob can back up his cockiness. And just the fact that he and Amber remain calm and work as teammates makes them far more forgivable recycled reality stars than Big Brother's Allison. That said, having these two champs around doesn't make it a fair fight, since they can always find some Survivor-fan tourist to eagerly help them out. And that's what happened in Peru, when an unidentified guy practically begged to help and they came in a comfortable third place. The only chance the other teams have is if they're in some third-world country and happen to bump into Lex. He'd help anyone else in a heartbeat.

I still love Rob, and am glad he's on the show. He's cracked me up since day one of his appearance on Survivor. He's a great competitor and full of fun. I love his dry, monotone delivery of wit, as well as his big grin. He reminds me so much (in all the best ways) of my cousin Mark, who also grew up near Boston. I wish Rob and Ambuh the best of luck!

I admire Rob; he's very sharp and clever, and he has a certain charm. Then he turns to the camera, commenting that he's using other couples' money to bribe the driver, which reminds me of three words: unethical, immoral, and sleazy.

He thought up the bribe and he performed the bribe, I think he earned the right to not pay. Also, like it or not, bribery is pretty standard in Latin America - and on TAR. He didn't do anything racers haven't done before. Did he do it better? IMO - On that leg he did. Awsome performance!

Rob was brilliant on this leg of the race. He also didn't lie to anyone. He just outplayed them. That's the name of the game.

Lycanthrope, he did lie. You can read some more details in the last couple posts in the "Le show à soir -- 03/08/05" thread.... Personally I am torn, is he smart or is he "dirty"?

Smart. This is a game, they all know that. Shame he didn't bribe the security guy to not say he'd been told to not say!

Smart. As I said before I had no preconceived notion of this team having never seen them on Survivor. I am enjoying them. I think they're running a smart race. And as cynical as I am about "television" relationships, theirs certainly seems to be a real one, and a good partnership, from what I've seen.

Smart! The guy who said Rob was dumb as a box of rocks,uh.. welcome to the box where Rob is NOT. He and Amber both seem able to maintain their cool, even when they were last to get their car going.. he's been able to make use of help, maintained a great sense of place and humor and his partner.. He was the only one to mention that choosing the shopping option last night would involve spending money, and look at how many of them had to spend time begging and being anxious about money.. instead, he and Amber were calm, he stacked the books with a plan and they were able to move all the books at once, and without getting in bickering contests like the beauty queen/pow or dumping books, or making two trips.. heck, beauty queen couldn't even subtract 112 from 180.. No matter how mad others got at Rob,he was the one who didn't just sit like a sheep with the first arrivals at the bus station. I loved how the son met them and announced that it wasn't open but they would be buying tickets in the order of arrival.. LOL.. unless TAR sets up a number system, while they might go in docile order, that isn't a rule of the race. So Rob just says yeah yeah and continues to explore options. Also it seems to me that without making a big deal of it, he has some knowledge of Spanish too. I'd say he is showing us just HOW smart he really is.

And I liked how he was confident enough to use his rather basic Spanish. A lot of people (well, me) who kind of half-know a language don't dare use it in case they get something wrong, but he was brave enough to just go ahead, and it worked.

Any team that underestimates how smart Rob is, and how cool, calm and collected both he and Amber remain under stress, isn't even in the same league as Rob and Amber. They are like a well-oiled machine - they work very well together.

I loved watching them in Survivor and they haven't disappointed me yet in AR. Love that the teams get so mad when they get a fast one pulled on them by Rob but they are only mad cuz they couldn't dream of coming up with ideas like that! Go Rob and Amber

Everybody who works construction down here has a basic knowledge of Spanish! Some have a better command of the language than others, of course -

I'm with you on this one TnTitan. My cousin who used to run a construction crew spoke Spanish very well.

Even in Boston? Is there a large Spanish community there? (Never been there, so showing my ignorance!)
