Man Rob seemed like a real jerk last night for not stopping to help the flipped-over car... he could've at least slowed down and offered help...

Rob is the new villant of reality TV. I think it was very bad that he didn't even slow down and ask if everyone was ok.

i am glad those people got kicked out last night, they were the only team i didn't really like

my favorite team right now is probably the brothers, they get along pretty much 100% of the time or Uchenna & Joyce, she didn't get a bad attitude after getting dumped by the horse

I love the concept of the whole thing but the execution is terrible.

It seems like every show, the 1st place team have a 6 hr lead over the last place team and then for a traveling task, they all leave at the same time so they're all tie again....kinda redundance.

I see why producers want to do this though. If they let one team get so far ahead, no one would ever catch up and it would get very boring.

I know some of the stuff they do on purpose.
Like 2 epsiodes ago where they all had to get a car from a parking garage and drive somewhere.
Rob and Amber had a hugh lead but then parking garage won't open till morning therefore everyone must wait and they all were even again.

i agree CTrain, it makes it really a race to not get eliminated, the only reason to be first on a leg is to win the prizes (they gave them cars! last night)

as long as a team avoids elimination until the last show, they have a chance

crummy taxi drivers play a part as well, which is a crap shoot

I didn't realize that Rob and Amber were from Survivor at first, so I was pretty amused when that woman said "OMG You're Amber!" and then guided here through the market. I couldn't believe the luck until my GF explained the survivor link.

Also, only one team stopped to check on the brothers. I don't think I would have either, especially if there was already someone else there helping them. I don't think that Rob and Amber should be villified for that, myself.

I was surprisingly happy to see the brothers out-sprint Mr Muscles to the end though. Didn't like that guy...

There was already a medical crew and another team there. What could they have done to help? No ne else stopped or planned on it. It was merely a gesture to make themselves feel better about "stopping" to see if everyone was ok. What if someone wasn't ok would they have been able to do anything? No. They would have said OMG thats terrible and kept driving.

Yeah no kidding, I didnt like Ray either, i think that is his name. Did you catch what he said at the end when they were eliminated? He blamed it all on his gf/wife and was considering dumping her because she wasnt competitive like he was.

i saw them on CBS this morning. she says he's not like he was on the show. he's caring, compassionate, and blah-blah-blah. not only are they still together, but they are engaged. i'll bet he beats her. :shocked:

He was a musclebound a$$hole. I couldn't stand him. I was so glad when the "old people" whooped up on them in the corn mashing game. If he would get over his ego and work with his teammate they would have done better.

Was her eye still all screwed up? I thought he must have popped her a few times to straighten her out.

I noticed her screwy eye last night.. I thought it was probably some sort of nervous twitch that was induced by the stress mr a-hole was putting on her.

in the end it was muscleguy's bad attitude that defeated them. i think they're a bad couple and they should just split up. he claims he's compassionate but i saw none of that in the show.

I agree whole heartedly. They were a horrible couple and reminded me of the little 'entreprenuer' guy last time, always yelling at his wife. Calling her incompetent and such when he's the incompetent one. I'm glad they are out of the race. Now Rob and Amber need to lose and I'll be at peace with the world. Flame War starting in 3...2...1...

.

the team that stopped didn't DO anything, they looked at the hurt guy and said "oh no! you are hurt!" , it isn't like they were doctors that could help. rob/amber could have stopped and said "oh man, that looks like a flesh wound!" , but they aren't doctors either

why should all the teams stop to stand around looking at the hurt guy? :confused:

I :heart: Boston Rob and Amber. Boston Rob and Amber get a lot of help because people recognize them from Survivor, so they have a bit of an advantage. I still think it's funny how all the teams hate them.

Amber is hot and Rob is a snake, the perfect combination.

My favorite team is the brothers. I also like Ron and Kelly along with Boston Rob and Amber.

Its the only reason why I'm tuning in everyweek.
They make the show interesting.


















OK....I lied.
I don't give a damm about Rob.
I just want Amber to stay as long as she can :) Shes a major HOTTIE.

Another good show last night. Rob and Amber killed again. I like them and all but i rather see another team win they already got money and publicity someone else needs that, but if they win then hey they beat everyone else.

The brothers are funny that last stunt in the end to come in a shorts was funny. I thought they would catch up, I mean three teams last night had issues. The Gay couple had to change cars twice, the black couple forgot to remove the marker and go back and the old couple jeez they are blind they missed the clue.
