Rob & Amber are an engaged couple from Canton, Massachusetts and Beaver, Pennsylvania, respectively. They had an alliance together and fell in love when they competed with each other on “Survivor: All Stars.” Amber won the one million dollar prize, and Rob finished as the runner-up. During the live finale of the show in May 2004, before the outcome was even announced, Rob proposed to Amber, while she wore a t-shirt with the inscription, “I Love Rob!” Prior to “Survivor: All Stars,” Rob competed on “Survivor: Marquesas,” the fourth installment of the series, where he was the seventh voted off. Amber previously competed on “Survivor: The Australian Outback,” the second installment of the series, where she was eleventh voted off, but was a part of the jury to decide the winner. Before their lives on SURVIVOR, Rob worked as a construction foreman and Amber as an administrative assistant. Both of them are excited to participate in the Race, as they have been fans of the show for some time. They hope their competitive natures, which helped them compete on SURVIVOR, will propel them through to win THE AMAZING RACE. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race7/teams/rob/

People are either going to be interested to see if their Survivor sklills help them in this different dynamic, or root against them because they already won a million....

I'm not gonna root for them, but its not because they've already won a million. I just don't care for Rob.

I am gonna root for them, because I liked Rob in both of his Survivors, and because I grew to really like Amber in the Survivor: All-Stars competition.

As I recall Amber didnt have any survivor skills other than snagging Rob. He looked out for "his girl". I think with Rob in the mix we will get some great laughs.

I agree. And,he's very good at the physical type challenges. Remember him running along the balance beam like a squirrel? I'm looking forward to seeing him race.

I’m looking forward to seeing them compete in AR. I liked them both on Survivor. Rob is very entertaining and I think Amber’s Survivor play was much better than most people give her credit for. Also, I don’t care if they already won a million dollars. I don’t think that the players’ personal wealth should be a factor. If they perform well and are likeable, I’ll be cheering for them. It’s a different game.

Like I said before, as long as I don't have to listen to another couple fight like Victoria and Jonathan, I don't care who's competing.

I'll be cheering as well and hoping we get a lot of confessional/interview time out of Rob as he always makes me laugh.

Well, you've gotta figure, they're two people, just rolled up into one package... would that mean they're entitled to a full half hour?

I thought Amber was very good in most of the physical challenges on Survivor. I wonder how long TAR is. Survivor is only 39 days, if you make it to the end. In some ways I think TAR is harder than Survivor. The challenges of the racing for hours and hours doing roadblocks and detours as their challenges must really take their toll. On Survivor, the only challenges that last long are the stand on a poll the longest type.

Happymom...people have done some calculations, and some racers have mentioned that taking into account pitstop time, the Races usually are about 30 days or so, give or take.

Hoping they go early. I absolutely hated Boston Rob in Survivor. I didn't mind Amber, though. I think it'll be interesting to see them race because we already know them (or know what they're like) ... Somebody said it earlier -- watching the same people in a different dynamic.

I totally agree with Padivius... it will be interesting to watch them since we know them from the other show.

From the previews he is playing his "evil Rob" persona, continuing be arrogant.. that's too bad.. I'd have loved to see them go in as just a couple and I actually think I could have been behind them because I do think they could be very competitive. But.. I"d just as soon see someone win who hasn't had as much publicity and winnings. If they prove me wrong that would be great!

I hope they last a long time, I love Rob's humor. I must admit it was fun to watch them fall in love.
