Good lord, thought the conspiracy was that normally ALL first place finishers got a prize but this season it seems not everyone is. But it does look like that in past seasons not all first place winners got prizes.
I am getting so confused as to which way this conspiracy theory is supposed to be.

I think it goes like this....

CBS realized that only the charisma of Rob would keep their affliation afloat for the May Sweeps...and therefore begged on bended knee for him to be on AR and broadcast his wedding...

In return for gracing CBS with his omnipotent presence, Rob forced CBS into giving him a "sweet" contract where by he (and possibly Amber) would receive all the first place prizes.

To ensure said prizes were awarded only to Rob/Amber, CBS was to plant carry along guides at points thoughtout the legs where first prizes were to be awarded...thereby ensuring Rob/Amber arrived first to the pitstop mat....

I believe all the missed prizes and dirty details of how CBS reneged on their deal will be forth coming in a tell all book... Once Rob cuts his recording deal and his CD needs promoting...

Anyways...that's my theory...

Native_texan, you are correct. The CBS web site probably confuses people because its Leaderboard page only shows the second leg in Episode 5.

... and the ABC program will be titled "Expose" and NOT Primetime Live so people will be able to find it in their local listings...

Actually I believe that NBC is contacting Rob as we speak...trying to make a deal to undercut ABC... but shhhh...don't let that get around...

The Robfather is playing the affilates against each other in true Bahston Rob style...

Oh, Kep, The Robfather thinks so much bigger and this conspiracy reaches so much farther....he is in negotiations with King World for the 'all Rob all the time' network!

Rob and Amber are listed as being first in FOUR legs. Or so CBS thinks.

leaderboard

Four legs; three prizes.

Native,the CBS website is almost always clear as mud at some point..

Actually they won four times and got prizes four times....Someone posted the exact prizes...three trips and an entertainment center...

...problem is the other first prizes that went to other teams... CBS will mostly likely pay for that oversight...

What was the third trip? I know about the Riviera and London.. and the entertainment center.

My mind is mush.. they are listed as winning in episode 2, 4, 7 and 10. Episode 7 ended, but not at a pit stop and I don't think they won a thing there.. they arrived at the mat in Lucknow and Phil handed them another clue and off they went to the train station with the other teams in hot pursuit.

That is the fourth win considered by CBS, though it wasn't a pit stop win. I think they got the prizes in episodes 2, 4, and 10.

Oh yeah, I wasn't leaving out the entertainment center, was just ferreting out (for my own sanity) the third trip :-)

Where is Ewing when we need him? Anybody remember Ewing? He was an expert at rooting out conspiracies.

Ewing! That's the name Ginger was trying to remember last weekend! I didn't know him, though.

I think he went on to larger conspiracy theories after 9/11.

I barely read the reality television threads back in those days, but once I found Ewing, I was a devotee. Of Ewing's theories, not necessarily the rest of the threads.

Yeah, Ewing was fun to read!

I am enjoying this season of TAR. I am starting to think Joyce and Uchenna deserve to win. They are a great couple. (Still love Rob and Amber, too)
