Hippos are terrifying. Did you know they kill more people in Africa than any other animal? Hippos are vicious.

Yes, so I've heard. Quite irascible creatures.

I was curious about where they were also. I found it hard to believe they were in a game perserve while they were doing the log thing simply because I know you are not supposed to get out of your vehicle and they had to do that several times. Wouldn't that have been dangerous? Perhaps they had left the perserve by then.

I'm almost sure I heard Phil say that the final pitstop where they stayed was on the edge of the Moremi Game Preserve. I'm thinking the racers had to race throught the preserve to get to the final pit stop.

uh hum speaking of Rob & Amber...... I sincerely believe that Rob could be a cult leader if ever he had the desire. I've noticed when he's speaking to the camera in sequester, that he's spot on when it comes to his predictions of how his next moves will be perceived by the other contestants and what their reaction will be. He's an astute people reader.

I agree Kimmykm, and sign me up. He is very good at reading people. I like how we saw last night that he recognizes what a strong team "frick and frack" (the boyfriends) are.

I am convinced that this team has an unfair advantage because people are constantly recognizing them fro Survivor and volunteering to help.

It's reaching the point where I think I might have to start rooting for this team because that would all but guarantee that they won't win .

One thing I like is that Rob is honest and says that all the teams left are strong teams.. Loved when he wanted to build a palace for Amber..

Yep, that editing was misleading. Rob didn't really get nasty with the locals at all...

I don't think Rob is all that honest. He's not above lying when someone calls him on his gameplay. If he truly was all that honest, he would own up to it and say, YEP...that's my gameplay.

The one thing about Rob that bothered me during this race was how appalled he was when Bianca/Debbie called him out on lying--and he denied it, and got very worked up about it--but he did lie!

And the last time you said that, I said I thought he was very tongue in cheek about that. So no need for me to discuss it more; I really got no sense of outrage. He didn't seem appalled (to me). Rob said last show right up front that all the teams left are strong (and he said that about Debbie and Bianca, too) and that any of them could win. Meanwhile they show us other teams knocking down others verbally or saying "we are the BEST!".. Rob says we are all good, but I want to win and I'm playing to win. Also, in the recrap show we saw Debbie or Bianca come up and apologize to Rob, so she seemed to think maybe she'd gone over a line, or, if she didn't, then she was lying to him as gameplay.. Whatever.. if we all liked just one team, it would be pretty much a snooze fest.

What about when he said (some time later--after he "stole" their cab) to the camera/himself "That'll teach them to say I lied." (something like that.) To me that made me think he was really thinking he did not lie. But you are right about if we all liked the same team(s) the discussion would be boring.

I am truly enjoying Rob and Amber on this show... I thought A lot of their success on Amber's winning Survivor was due to Rob and thought they played the game well there but I think their game play on this is even better!

Just now on MSNBC - Sean (the weatherman) was giving a report about a hurricane conference held in the Bahamas. At the end, he pointed out a party being held across the water. He said that Rob and Amber are going to be married there tonight.

Report: 'Survivor' couple Amber Brkich and Rob Mariano to marry on April 16 Falk AdSolution By Wade Paulsen, 04/15/2005 They placed first and second on Survivor: All Stars. They are one of the final five teams in The Amazing Race 7. And now, according to press reports, their wedding will take on what's become reality TV's biggest annual event of the year: the American Idol finale. "They" are Amber Brkich and "Boston Rob" Mariano, who became engaged on the finale of Survivor: All Stars and had previously negotiated to have their wedding televised. According to a story in Amber's hometown Beaver County Times newspaper, Amber and Rob will tie the knot secretly on April 16 in the Bahamas, with CBS taping the wedding for broadcast on May 24, the next-to-last day of the 2004-05 TV season ... and the day of the final performances on Fox's American Idol. Apparently due to the terms of their contract with CBS, Amber, Rob and their families have refused comment on this report. In fact, even the wedding guests have reportedly had to sign confidentiality contracts. However, the Beaver County Times reports that most of the wedding guests from Amber's home region of Beaver County, Pennsylvania left for the Bahamas on Wednesday.

I happened to be channel surfing last night and caught Rob and Amber on a NESN fishing/hunting program hosted by Charlie Moore. Rob and Charlie were fishing on a lake in New Hampshire ... their bantering was a hoot! Charlie was afraid Rob was going to get him voted off his own show, and Rob was making secret deals with the camera man etc. Midway through the show Amber joined them on the boat. For the finale, Rob and Charlie had to go to "Fishing Council" where they had a campfire, and the ballots were put into a fishing tackle box. Of course Rob won and as he and Amber speed away in Charlie's boat, Charlie is on the dock pleading for a spot on Rob's show.
