The Amazing Race

[Peabrain]

OK, I do not yet remember any of their names. But the team that was sent home was the 2 guys with the strong southern accents. Unfortunately, Rawb and Lamber are probably going to be around awhile. God they drive me nuts. He says something assey and she smiles stupidly at him. That is their realtionship in a nutshell.

There's something wrong with me because I have loved Boston Rob since his original season on Survivor. What's always disappointing to me is seeing him off the island because the boy is bloated.

It will be interesting to see if he loses his shit at any time during the tasks. I can't stand Amber. She's such a dull barbie doll with zero spark or personality.

Personally, I can't stand Rob and Amber, and I can't wait for the smacking sound of hubris to interrupt Rob's idle boasting.

While I realize that all the teams sound off in one fashion or another, Rob just bugs me a bit extra. I suspect it's because I never liked him on Survivor.

I can't stand Amber. She's such a dull barbie doll with zero spark or personality.

So true. She is such a...void. I don't understand how she made it onto the Survivor All-Stars, which led to her being on my TV yet again on TAR. Rob is a pompous ass, but Amber is just the dullest dull that ever dulled.

That said, they didn't annoy me as much as I thought they would in the first episode. Give them time, though.

I was sorry to see the South Carolina boys go. I even got a little misty-eyed when they sounded choked up at the end.

I liked Boston Rob on his season of Survivor, but that was the only season I watched, so I don't know much about him after that, but from what I've seen, he's looking to be very manipulative.

The Southern Boys bothered me and maybe it's being from the South and how on most shows, Southern people are made to look like Team Deliverance. So I wasn't upset to see them go.

As much as I cannot stand Rob and Amber, I will grudgingly admit that they are (OK, Rob is) running a smart race.

That doesn't stop me from looking very much forward to the day they are eliminated.

I am still pissed that the Southern boys were eliminated last week. Those two had a chance to become my favorite team ever. Team Paris, glad your gone.

I know i'm probably in the minority here, but I don't mind Rob and Amber. I think they (meaning Rob) are just taking shortcuts and doing sneaky things other people are just to afraid to do. Obviously it's working because they finished first.

The couple that bugs me the most for some reason is the mother and the son. I hate how the boy is always like "Mom. Mom!!! What are we going to do!!! Nooooo!". Shut up!

I also like Rob, and I liked him on Survivor as well. Amber was a non-entity on her original season, under the power of Jerri, and barely came into her own after Jerri was voted off. The producers were quoted as saying that Amber was picked for "All Stars" because they wanted a pretty face. It was Rob who did all the, er, Robfathering, on the "All Stars".

With that said, I enjoy watching them, but I don't want them to win. They've won before; they don't need the money.

There did seem to be a tease that the first Amazing Romance would occur between the Brothers and the Blondes. Alas, Amazing Race is about racing, not romance.

The shopping seemed like a good idea, until we actually saw what they had to do. Then the books looked a lot easier.

I find Romber incredibly entertaining. I don't think he's that smart (his ego had to tell someone else about the later bus), but he's a smartass. And it's funny. I think Amber totally wears the pants in their relationship.
