The Amazing Race

[stillmecholo]

I guess my biggest problem with Rob (aside from the fact that he's a Red Sox fan) is the fact that he's trying to turn this into The Amazing Survivor. This show is not supposed to be about scheming, and I can't help but feel like the producers are changing the rules of the game to make it more like that other show I don't watch because it sucks.

I also have no sympathy for the sheep who blindly followed Rob. If they keep doing that eventually they're going to be stabbed in the back.

Sorry to see the girls go, but it was their own fault. And unlike last week, when my three least favorite teams finished 1-2-3, this week my fave teams finished 1-2-3. I really like the Brothers McHotty.

StillMeCholo, I was just coming to post this exact same thought.

It's a race, not a globetrotting edition of Survivor.

Boo, Rob. That being said, I have this horrifying suspicion that he and Boring Amber may take this thing. And that could only be bad.

After this edition. I expect that this might happen to future TARs. The best thing about TAR was that it wasn't hyper-competetive. That is one reason why I won't try out. The game is best when it is not mucked up with people like me.

I must weigh in on the Rob/Ambah debate: I am not familiar with either of them 'cause I quit watching Survivor after season 2.

I think Amber was in Season 2 with Colby, in Australia. Which just proves she's complete cipher. Wasn't her nickname Ambore?

I don't like Rob but one has to respect the way he is playing the game.

The thing is that I absolutely do NOT respect the way he is playing the game. In fact, the reason why I dislike him so much is because I have no respect or tolerance for the Survivor tactics that he seems so proud of. And what's worse is that he's making me dislike Phil, because Phil seems really thrilled by him. Ick.

I refuse to watch until Rob and Amber are gone. I realize that I risk missing the entire thing but I dislike Rob that much.

I'm not enjoying this round so much. I was hoping for good things with the Bubba Boys but they got Philiminated in Round One. Gretchen and Merideth are no Don/Mary Jean, the Mother/Son relationship is fraught with so much damned tension and I could care less about a whole slew of folks remaining (including Uchenna) with maybe, maybe the exception of Lynn and Alex.
Finally, I loathe Rob, he makes me very uncomfortable. There's competitiveness and there's competitiveness and I find his very ugly.

Just when I thought all of my hate when to Rob, Blamber had to open her mouth. Her "I can't wait until the other teams see us" soldified when I can't wait to see them get eliminated. At this point, I'd rather see the Older McWhinersons or Abusive Ray and Dena win. It's also why I won't be visiting the TAR TWoP boards any time soon - I can't stand to see a Romber lovefest. There's no way they should've gotten on that plane considering they were at the ticket counter at 9:30, but I've become used to those "Nice People Letting People on the Planes at Last Minute" - a TAR staple.

I'm loving the Bros more and more every week. Not just because they're cute, but they're funny too.

I enjoyed this ep more than I have most of the other ones, but thank god Veronica Mars is back with new eps. I'd so rather be watching that.

I stopped watching after seeing that Rob/Amber could not be eliminated. So who is gone or was it a non-elim?

God, tonight's episode was such a nail-biter for me. And I seriously wanted to smack Ray and Rob in this epi. God, could they have been bigger assholes? Especially Ray.
