The Amazing Race

[sparkie]

I don't know - I kind of like Rob and Amber. Well, Amber not so much, because, there's not much there but I admire Rob's ability to manuever the other racers/survivors into thinking he's not the one to be worried about, but the other racer(s)/survivor(s) are the real issue. Like him or not, he's good at the mind games required to win these sort of games.

I'm also kind of rooting for the mom and son because he's so sweet to her. I would have ripped my mom's head off and shoved it into a Chillean sewer by day two. I'm also rooting for Debbie and Bianca. (BTW, Debbie's not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I like Romber. They are entertaining and pretty good racers.

And I think Rob is hot. There, I said it.

I don't watch Survivor, so I didn't know Rob and Amber before the Race started. I don't like or hate them(yet), but Rob's incessant mugging for the camera really bugs me. As for the other teams, have any of them watched the show before?

Former Fametracker here. :sigh:

Hi everybody. I met Phil today. He is on a book/for fun tour of the US with his Dad. How sweet is that? He looks exactly the same as he does on TV. Divine.

Very friendly, very talkative (the booksellers kept trying to get him to zip it, sign the books and keep the line moving) and just an all around happy guy. He said he's exhausted and only had TWO days off last year! I talked to his Dad and said that he must be proud that his son is living his dream (that is what the book is about...doing all you can with your life...) and his Dad said "he's worked very hard for it". Got my picture taken with him...and my book(s) signed. Really cool.

Oh, yeah, and I love this show and hope that we lost FTers can find a more mellow place to discuss than TWOP. I've been there, too, but YEESH...it gives me a headache!!

I like Rob. He's having so much fun! And (so far anyway) he's a good racer. I just can't resist that combo.

Go Rob! Even if you have to take Ambuh with you.

He brings the funny (otherwise known as wiseass), which is something new from what I've seen. A nice change from the psycho duo of J&V.

Well, good, so it's not just me. I do love the recaps, though.

I hate that Rob seems not to know the difference between Survivor and The Amazing Race. Just for the record, Rob - Survivor is the one where you backstab and cheat and lie and form alliances that you ultimately have no intention of honoring. The Amazing Race is NOT that show. Dickhead.

I'm loving the two brothers. I wish they'd pull themselves together and start racing better.

Haaaaate Gretchen. I really can't stand the sound of her voice.

[hoss]

I think Amber totally wears the pants in their relationship.

True...but like most good relationships, she just makes him THINK he does. I love The Rhambah..just how they (ok..mostly Rhab) piss off the others. Sure, they don't need the loot, but would be good to see them stay in the game as long as possible.
