I think the closest I saw Rob get "testy" with Amber was when Ray and Deanna were doing the Fast Forward. Rob kept asking Amber if she thought they should wait and see if they finish or should they leave immediately. She never answered him because Ray and Deanna completed the Fast Forward but he did ask her two or three times what she wanted to do.

I think that was because going for the FF was suggested by Amber and he wasn't going to override her decision; wanted her to do it.. and she did.. but that was pretty mild compared to so many of the couples in the past several seasons. My parents bickered all through our vacations and that isn't uncommon. Travel can bring that out in people, or any stressful situation.. so I see nothing "off" in mentioning and enjoying it when I can see some of the couples getting along so well.

The only time that my dh and I fuss at each other is when we are doing the traveling part of a vacation. He hates dealing with all the details of it and gets really tense. I do all the details now, we have a car service take us and he just comes along! LOL

a little ditty for all you Rob and Amber fans: Let me tell you all a story bout a man named Rob A poor construction worker Barely lived from job to job. And then one day he was cast by Mark Burnett To hang out on Survivor where eventually he met. Amber B. Pretty girl Knows the game. So the next thing you know Rob’s girl’s a millionaire And CBS called, hey you two get over here. There’s lots more money if you go from place to place And so Rob and Amber are on Amazing Race. Couple power. Romber rules.

Good song! Better not let Rob see it - he might try to sell it.

In case anyone wants to buy them a present...... What do you buy for a bride who has everything? Patti Conley, Times Staff 04/24/2005 Email to a friend Printer-friendly CBS / Monty Brinton What do Amber and Rob want? What do Amber and Rob need? What would make the blushing Brighton Township bride and her brash Boston bridegroom live happily ever after on Florida's emerald coast? That surely was a question posed by many a shower and wedding guest. Perhaps a $19.99 Palace Classic Toilet Brush from Bed Bath & Beyond? How about an As Seen on TV Magic Bullet Express Food Processor from Kaufmann's? Sometime between sharing that million-dollar prize on CBS's "Survivor: All-Stars" last spring and being amazingly annoying to their competitors in a race around the world, Amber Brkich and her intended, Rob Mariano, registered for gifts at Kaufmann's at the Beaver Valley Mall in Center Township. The duo also listed specific wedding wishes on registries at Target and Bed Bath & Beyond, where the wedding date was listed as April 1, 2005. We all know that's wrong now. Anyone peeking on Kaufmann's registry after April 1 would have known that April 16 was the real date, a sunny Saturday a week ago when family and friends who had jetted to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas saw them say "I do." Advertisement The wedding party and well-wishers are sworn to secrecy at least until May 24. That's when CBS will air the two-hour special titled "Rob and Amber Get Married," which details the planning, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner and "special surprises" they reportedly planned for one another. Perhaps by then the newlyweds will be ensconced in the home they bought in Pensacola, Fla., sipping champagne from their Mikasa Palatial Platinum Flute stemware after supping on spaghetti served on their Gorham Grand Gallery china. Amber might have made the sauce in the Rival Oval Programmable Stainless Steel Crock Pot someone bought at Target. But until their Florida digs are presented on TV in "Rob and Amber: Home Edition" (don't think it can't happen), here's a glimpse of their reality: What they got A Dyson Animal DC14 Telescope Low Reach Upright Vacuum listed at $549.99 at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Yankee Candle Housewarmer Wedding Day Candle. Aspen Ridge Full/Queen Comforter at $179 with matching standard pillowcases for an additional $39.99 and the matching queen flat and fitted sheets at $44.99 each from Bed, Bath & Beyond. Their Cuisinart 12-cup brushed chrome coffee maker will complement the four-slice, duo-controlled metal classic toaster, which will go well with the 600-watt Cuisinart blender, and the KitchenAid 12-cup chrome food processor, all from Kaufmann's. And paper towels, please, to keep the gadgets fingerprint free. The exotic bamboo runners, the Bissell Flip-It Bare Floor cleaner, and woven wicker four-piece hamper with dark stain from Target will work well with Florida's warmer climate, as will the Heather Navy and White Jersey Knit Queen Sheet sets, listed at $19.99 each. Not to worry, the couple will surely keep their identities safe with the cross-cut paper shredder someone bought at Target. What they "still need" The Makin' Bacon Microwave Bacon Dish, the Mexican traditions tortilla warmer, the set of four olive dishes for $12.99, the 22-piece Rubbermaid blue kitchen set, the tall pillar candleholder with green ball for $16.99 and the Coleman Ultimate Extreme 50-quart cooler at $44.99. All are available at Target. So is the Soehnle Zeta EBS Scale sold at $99.99 and the 2-pack Scotch Brite multi-purpose scouring pads for $2.24 that somebody forgot to get. Amber and Rob better stick with the rumpled look they made famous on reality TV. The $139.99 Rowenta Perfect Iron they wanted is still on the shelf at Kaufmann's. Bed Bath & Beyond lists a Hotel Sateen King Sheet Set for $99.99 with the matching pillowcase set for $29.99 as well as the $199.99 Modern Whimsy King Duvet and two of the Modern Whimsy Standard Shams at $39.99 each. And, if you're still at a loss for what to send over to the Brkich-Morano household, consider this: Amber registered for 12 place settings of her pricey ($55.99 per setting) china. She hardly got any of it. Patti Conley can be reached online at pconley@timesonline.com. http://www.timesonline.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14405991&BRD=2305&PAG=461&dept_id=478564&rfi=6

The actual registry LINK http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/regGiftRegistry.asp?order_num=-1&wrn=%2D415136392 Stuff doesn't look that unreasonable or out of line to me. Hope they get lots of gifts!

Where was their china registered? I'd like to see her china and crystal patterns. I really don't think she has ordered anything outrageous. I certainly don't think $56 a place setting is expensive. I have been to some weddings down here where the registry was so expensive I had to go in with 6-7 other people to buy one setting.

I agree Lexie, $56 a place setting sounds pretty cheap to me.

$56 for a 12-piece place setting for china is cheap... Y'all need to get an invite to a wedding where the couple is registered at the following site - like I did - then you'll know why we had to get a group together to buy ONE setting of silverware. And the goblets... that is PER goblet - not a set. Click on "For the Table" http://adlersjewelry.com/shopping.aspx

It's $59 per place setting which is still pretty good. 21 years ago, mine was $30 a place setting

They moved to Fla. because it's where Rob's parents' own real estate, suppose they like to be close to beaches too! $56 place setting is not expensive at all. Mine from last year were about the same price which consists of four pieces, had to order extra pieces to complete the setting.

$56 bucks is pricey??? Hardly! My brother and SIL got married 2 years ago and their settings were $110 each. Ours were only $40, but that truly was about the cheapest option and we really liked it.

so does anyone think she got a pre-nup? i agree the china is not expensive and i have found people usually have a preset figure in mind that they are going to spend based on the relationship. the more expensive the registry items the less they get as people start combining gifts.

i dont think $50 is expensive for china. and i think it is a good idea to get registered because the odds of you buying that china yourself soon after marriage are slim. now if it was $50 a setting for every day dishes i would call that hoggish. what ever happened to hope chests anyway. when i was young my mom had me pick silver and china, etc. then i got these things as bd gifts. i had all the expensive stuff when i got married. i just needed household stuff. and while i am on the subject. who is old enough to remember weddings before registries? i remember when the shower invitation merely included the bride's colot schemes. not specific toilet brushes.

I had all of my crystal and alot of my silver flatware in my hope chest. I haven't seen any invitations with specific gifts list just something along the line of 'the bride's colors are and she is registered at' written under the RSVP

no i meant in the old days all you got were the colors. by lists i meant today's registies. and frankly i find some of the registries ridiculous. come on. pot scrubbers? buy your own damn pot scrubbers. or have a wishing well. sheesh. but i dont blame the brides for some of the ridiculous requests. the registry people do a real sell on you as i remember.
