I bet he was confused that Rob had such long hair!! And probably Ray and Deana were supposed to be pushed off the edge in that fast forward and they were punished for winning the fast forward, too. And I bet that BAD gnome that went with Ron and Kelly was smashed to smithereens after the cameras shut down

Guess I won't be standing in anyone's way to get their autographs. They both had their 30 minutes of fame doing 2 Survivor episodes and TAR was a show I'd always liked better. Romber has become a CBS reality show cash cow in ratings? Yawn, next stop must be Big Brother.. Let the young hot sly photogenic kids win another million, it will be the wedding of the century for ratings!!! This is one couple I liked well enough before their heads swelled. Now I'd just like to see them in a couples competition a la Joe Schmoe.. Rob and Amber think the games are real and they have no idea, it's all a fake...

Rob wouldn't make it too the end on BB...they are allowed to vote people off on that show... There won't be any little "carry along" helpers on that one!!! The other teams don't have to do badly for Rob/Amber to win, CBS is just ensuring Rob/Amber do better by giving them all the help and assistance they aren't giving the others...LOL ...for me...this rumor is becoming fact!!!!

People, People, People! Why is it so hard to believe that Rob and Amber could win this race on their own?

I believe Rob and Amber have shown enough game skills to win this one. Do I hope they win it? A little. I'm also rooting for Uchenna and Joyce. So, I'm flexible.

I see no evidence that Rob and Amber are receiving any sort of special help from CBS. Simply the fact that they are winning a lot of the races isn't enough. Their performance in the detours and roadblocks is consistently excellent. They are one of the best teams in the history of the show. What specific evidence is there that they are receiving help from CBS?

Brian and Greg have been on Fear Factor. Lynn and Alex lied to CBS about their employment. Go back and look at past seasons to see how many racers used and abused other teams to get ahead. TAR 7 has been mild compared to other seasons. This IS a race for $1 mil. NOT a charity.

<must... resist... urge... to step into... this argument...> I gotta say, though, that they should be acting like this is a race... I'd be pretty disappointed if I watched a team on a show that I want so desperately to be on, treating the Amazing RACE like it were a vacation. And helping their fellow competitors... while it's nice sportsmanship to help your opponent, sure, it's not really a smart strategy, to be giving freebies to your competition. Again, this isn't happy-fun-friendly-bonding time. It's a competition. A RACE. And there's a million dollar cheque at the finish line. I've been saying it since the rumours of their appearance began... GO ROB AND AMBER. <well, I did a good job resisting, now didn't I?>

"they are acting like this is a race" LOL, Texannie, you think maybe that is why it is called "The Amazing RACE"?

Don't read this if it's a spoiler!!!!! I think Rob is the only racer to date who had CBS add a computer generated sparkle to his toothy smirk as he openly said he was out to win and had no qualms over misleading other teams.. They apparently signed him on to be a controversial player and he didn't disappoint CBS.. They paid for the wedding, right? Doesn't matter how Rob plays, by hook or crook, he always was fierce competition. He simply has the penchant for being a liar and showing up at pit stops with a 3rd person guide in tow. IF Rob was that secure about winning the race he wouldn't need help.. This is why I root for Uchenna & Joyce now to win and would like to see Rob & Amber be also rans.. I wish Romber all the luck of a happy marriage but I don't want to see them on TV or read about them anymore! They are millionaires, why not go enjoy it? CBS is making Rob look like a gungho sore loser. Yet his attitude on Survivor spoke for itself and CBS capitalizes on it. Sad...

So if someone is a millionaire, they have to disappear? No more Martha, Trump, Oprah, half the big name news anchors.. I mean one million for two people before taxes isn't exactly like owning the golden goose these days. (Not that I'd turn DOWN that goose, mind you). And of course he doesn't look like a sore anything to me, and certainly not a loser.. heck he made $100,000 and found a wife on ASS, can't knock that.

I don't think any of us believe Rob HAS or SHOULD BE nice to other competitors. So many people, nice people who are simply blinded by his computer generated sparkle, keep extoling how "nice" he is, simply because he is patient/loving with his woman and he says thank you a lot. While I agree that this is unusual in a person like Rob, and should be recognized as a good thing, it doesn't automatically make him a "nice" person. Rob has made several disparaging remarks about other competitors, calling them stupid etc. And just like the awful remarks he made about fellow tribemembers on Survivor, these remarks are not made to further him in his competition, they are not made in retaliation to something that was said to him, they were simply mean spirtied "joking" remarks. Rob reminds me of the class bully who makes fun of weaker, shy children, for the sole purpose of bringing attention to himself. "ha ha, look at Rob...isn't he funny?" To me, that's not "nice" and I think it reveals his true character. ETA...Uchenna/Joyce have made it to the same final 3 as Rob/Amber have...without the disparaging remarks about their fellow competitors, and in spite of helping others. While it may not be smart to help your competitor, it doesn't seem to have hurt Uchenna/Joyce so far....
