Rob and Ambers whole outlook is different, more relaxed. I noticed after the horse section he didn't immediately jump off the horse but just leaned back on the horse and talked with Amber. Most teams jumped off and took off. Its kinda weird watching it at times, even when they rush, they seem sooo easygoing.

Rob and Ambers whole outlook is different, more relaxed. Well, of course it is. They've been on a reality TV show--twice. They are more than familiar with the cameras and the competitive challenges, etc. Personally, I think this is an unfair advantage. Also, some of these teams are really hungry to win the money. Understandably, it would change their lives. Rob and Amber already had their lives changed and already won money. And after seeing Rob on this show, my guess is he's probably wheeled and dealed to earn them even more money (which isn't a bad thing). Unlike every other team, Rob and Amber have nothing to lose. That's why they are so relaxed.

Does anyone know if the next 2-hr episode is definitely on next week on Tuesday and starting at 9pm? I want to reset my VCR. Thanks!

I don't know if I agree there Scorpio because I noticed the same manner when they were both on Survivor. And besides, I think even if you did not have so much to lose, you would still compete, I believe that is human nature. Anyway - I came into this like alot of others - ready to dislike them, but I am really enjoying thier game. I don't think they will win - but they make a nice change for me this year. I like the older couple too, I hope they kick Ray's butt next week. It irritates me to hear him go on and on about how he can't have the old people beat him. Ok... off my soap box

Yes, they definitely said next week was the two-hour episode. Love Rob and Amber, hated them on Survivor. Wel,l couldn't dislike Amber because she didn't do much but Rob drove me crazy. This time he is cracking me up. I don't think for a second Rob doesn't want to win the $$$. I think he is very competitive.

Watching, CBS's website has the 2-hr ep starting at 9pm. I was hoping it would start earlier, so I wouldn't have to stay up late(I have to get up REALLY early for work, I can't stay up to 11pm), but it doesn't appear to be that way.

CBS wouldn't want to go against American Idol at 8:00pm. but then, in Canada, TAR is 1st, Survivor 2nd and AI 3rd! talk about reality tv craze by the way I think Romber has everything to do with the increase in TAR 7 rating! They are made for competitive reality TV!!

I couldn't stand Rob on Survivor but am loving him on TAR. I love watching the interaction between him and amber, and between them and the locals. They are making it a pleasure to watch this season. And I can put up with his smugness to the camera after watching him with the locals. That's been one of my biggest petpeeves in all the past TAR shows, how the locals are treated by a lot of the contestants. I don't think it's fair to say they shouldn't be on the show because they were already on another one... there is no rule that says you can't. Also, just because they already won a million doesn't mean they have no right to try for this, if it's what they want to do.

I've been totally and quickly won over and what I love is that this is what I like about TAR.. watching a couple that obviously cares about each other and supports the other when it gets stressful. Even some teams who come on the race as "love you" and all that break down and others come on as practically enemies from the start. And then Rob gives it some zip. Heck even Amber is showing some life

I think I'm losing my mind...lol Tonight at the grocery I saw a guy that could've been Ray's twin. I was this - - close to storming up to him and asking just why he felt the need to be so nasty about losing to Gretch/Mere. Didn't his mama raise him any better? (I really need to watch some hard-checkin' hockey. Get a life. Something!) Here's a clue, bud, you're a cellar-dweller just like they are right now. ETA: Add me to the Hated Romber Being on TAR But Now Love Them bandwagon. They are respectful of the "natives" and enjoy the places they go to, and I don't care if you are in a competition, it does not excuse rudeness. I liked Chip and his wife for the same reason. They actually took time to look around and appreciate what they're seeing and experiencing.

I think the worst thing I have heard Ray say (at least to date) is that the "oldies are two decades past where they need to be" which made it sound like he believes people past that age are useless and should not be around. He definitely is rude, arrogant and judgmental as hell to everyone. I also agree with how rude and inconsiderate the "boys/girls" are to all the locals. I would be so embarrassed to watch myself if I acted like that. That's where the term "Ugly Americans" comes from, when people act like that. You at least have to give kudos to Rob for being polite and trying to talk to the locals in their language.

I think a lot of Rob's cockiness is him playing up to the cameras, and I'm sure the producers are egging him on. I feel like he's got his tongue firmly planted in his cheek most of the time, cause he always has that smile on his face! You just can't hate a guy with a smile like that (well, okay, maybe you can, Scorp and Tabby ). The greatest thing about Rob & Amber, aside from their entertainment value, is that they seem to be drawing people in who don't normally watch this show--like my DH! He's always consider TAR my show and usually reads sports on the computer while it's on, but the past couple of times I've been watching, I noticed he's watching over my shoulder a little bit and asking questions, like "Do they win something for coming in first [for the leg]?" I would love if we could watch this show together, but he's never shown any interest till now. I know he's not the only one! Also wanted to say that the editing in this show is awesome. What a contrast (pointedly shown) in the reactions to the little street artist between Meredith & Gretchen and Susan & Patrick. Although Gretchen did say he was trying to earn money for college (yeah, right, more likely to eat dinner) and "God love him," while Patrick wanted to run over the "clown." I'm so glad he's gone! Next to go can be Ray.

I agree about Ray! He seems a little sensitive about possibly losing to an older team. Perhaps since he's 44 himself he identifies with them? (Ha)
