They NEVER ever disrespect eachother, and they don't fight all the time and I find them be some of the best competitors ever on The Amazing Race. PEACE, Mike  Rob's too busy disrespecting others to focus on his girl :wink: Honestly, to see his own smug taunts come back to haunt him was a beautiful moment.
It's a competition, so what. Plenty of other people have said far worse things than Rob, who is simply singled out because he's Rob. When I think about it, the disrespectful comments and assumptions that the other groups make towards Rob and Amber because they were on Survivor are in more adundance than Rob's comments. Rob and Amber are the only couple I have seen virtually always treating eachother with support and respect, and not bursting into anger or arguments every 5 seconds because of trivial things. I'm willing to bet their relationship is one of the strongest on the show. Ron and Kelly can go ahead on living the crapfest relationship they have now, based on insults and distrust.
One of the things that I've noticed on this show is how many fractured relationships there really are, from all seasons, and it actually ends up deterring the groups who have this problem. This is as much a competition of knowledge/skill as it is a test to work together and respect your brother/sister/mother/father/friend/spouse/etc.
EDIT: This may have come across as defensive, but that's not what it's supposed to be. Just posting a response. It's all good.
PEACE, Mike

Hey, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying Rob can't always have his cake and eat it too :wink:

Phew, thank God you said exactly what I wanted to say! If Ron and Kelly goes next week, I'll be very happy, because the final three teams would be my favorites, even though I still want Rob and Amber to win.

True, and I guess it was good so possibly the people who think the show is catering to Rob and Amber and their reality fame can shut up now, and see even Rob can make a mistake. I'm still rooting for them, although I sense I'm the only one, along with MikeQ. Everyone from Rod to MaverLibs to my parents (ooh, I was so mad when they said that they wanted Rob and Amber to lose) want Uchenna and Joyce to win. Good team, great competition, but second place is what I prefer. If they win, I won't break anything (valuable), but... you know.

I've wanted Rob and Amber to win since leg 1. They're just such a great team.
The wedding will air on May 24th, two weeks after they win TAR. :razz:

You mean two weeks after they lose TAR :wink:
Anyway, I'm surprised that so many people here spend all their time ragging on Ron and Kelly (who -- don't get me wrong -- suck) instead of laughing at Rob's misfire. I mean, come on! That was a truly hilarious moment!

It was funny. And what's great is that thanks to that nonelimination round mistake, Rob and Amber will probably never make another mistake, thus ensuring their victory.
Funny how stuff works out. Uchenna and Joyce will be too busy helping Larry David and his wife push boats to actually pay attention to the game.

I think Meredith and Gretchen are the only team that's actually gotten help out of pity. The fact that this is the final four makes the notion of helping the competition out even more absurd...but then again, this is Gretchedith we're talking about.

I want Uchenna and Joyce to lose because they aren't playing the game. At this point, you should not be helping other teams.

It will be hilarious if Meredith and Gretchen finish the Race above Uchenna and Joyce.

Down with Rob and Amber. :down:
Ron and Kelly are not THAT bad. [-(
Meredith and Gretchen are my least favorites, but I almost hope they stay til the last two teams so I have somebody to hate on. :mod:
Uchenna and Joyce are my favorites, and I not only think they should win, but they will. :Jump:

What's the Just kidding for? Saying that you are pro-Rob and Amber? If that's the joke, it's far worse than my "Matzoh" joke last night! ... okay, not quite, but... you know.

Still not as hilarious as Meredith and Gretchen beating Rob, only because of his own taunts. That was just perfect karma and pure hilarity. :wink:

2) Rob & Amber
3) Meredith & Gretchen
4) Ron & Kelly

As much as some of you may not like Rob or think Amber is a bit blank, you have to admit they're not that bad as a couple. They almost never fight or argue with each other, which is more than can be said of many of the couples that have been on this show in the past.

How can you not like Rob and Amber. At least they try to win every game, they compete well, they get along, they actually want to win the million and will do anything they can to win. I love that about them. I really hope they win.

Yea, sure they're better than some from the past, but I don't like them as people. In that regard, I guess they do sorta go good together.
