The Rob & Amber Show



Last night on the Rob & Amber show, oops, I mean The Amazing Race, it was another boring episode. My conspiracy theory involving CBS helping Rob & Amber to win just in time for their televised CBS wedding got a huge boost last night.

First, Rob & Amber seemed to get lost on their way to the CabaƱa La Guatana ranch. Rob was even starting to whine, his cockiness seemed to diminish, just a little. He even ~gasp~ asked Amber if she knew where they were. (now, you know you're getting desperate if have to ask Amber for help) Of course Amber's answer was "uh I don't know." Then low and behold, they just stumble upon the place. Cockiness resumes in speedy fashion.

Second suspicious event of the show happened after Rob finished the gaucho horse riding challenge. It looked like he did it quickly but they never showed his time. Everyone else's time got shown either on the screen or on the chalkboard, not Rob's. The subtitle just said "perfect" how convenient. And surprise surprise, Rob and Amber made the 9:30 am flight to Buenos Aires and their luggage was even first off the plane. I don't even think with a horeseshoe up your ass you'd be that lucky.

Yes, I realize I sound like sour grapes and a little petty. I just really hate injustice in all of it's forms. From the little things to the huge, I've always been that way. I guess if Rob & Amber were a little humble and gracious it wouldn't be so bad but anyone who could walk onto a plane and sarcastically say "how's your stomach's" is a prick in my book. And don't even get me started on Amber. We've all known people who align themselves with anyone who can get them anywhere. Rob does the dirty work and she gets to sit back and fantasize about fitting into to that Barbie sized wedding dress. Never has a more boring person graced my television screen, ever!

Also, why did Alex & Lynn not win a trip when they came in first last week? Is the show trying to fuel more of a rivalry? If you are going to give prizes for finishing first shouldn't it be consistent?

I do think Alex & Lynn have to keep their eye on the prize and stop focusing so much on their hate for Rob & Amber. I loved their STD comment though, very funny. At least they seem to want to win which is more then I can say for most of the other teams.

I was becoming more then annoyed at the asshole comments from Ray.
-We are at the back of the pack with the bottom feeders.
-I don't want to run the race with these people.
-I won't lose to a couple of 70 years olds, I just won't have it.
-I'm a winner not a loser.
-The 70 year olds are a few decades older then what they should be.

Shut up! I cannot wait for them to get the boot and I hope it's Meredith & Gretchen who come in just before them, in a foot race!

I felt so bad for the Mom who has the most negative son ever! He was literally chastising her for being positive. She was crying on the mat and he wouldn't even put his arm around her. Usually The Amazing Race experience is a great one win or lose but not for Patrick, the world's biggest drag.

I noticed last week that Lynn & Alex didn't win a trip, and I thought that was outrageous! I remember last season, or maybe the one before that, they would sometimes give out like a Kodak camera and a printer. But they didn't get anything at all!

Deana and Ray - wow, what assholes! I couldn't believe how vocal he was about being in the back of the pack. I, too, hope he loses to the old couple by two seconds.

When the airplane was held for Rob & Amber, my jaw hit the floor. It was then I realized I was too pissed off to actually write a full blog entry about the episode.

I'm glad the mom and son were eliminated. It was time. Gretchen and Meredith are next. The POW and beauty queen will follow, they are not quick and impulsive enough. Then we'll see...

Grumperina I agree with you on the order in which the next few teams will most likely leave.

Ray has a classic case of small penis syndrome. As my husband commented during the show last night, why doesn't he just yell "I'm inadequate, I'm inadequate."

I wasn't able to write about the show last week because I just couldn't handle how everyone was praising Rob's "genius move" with the meat eating challenge. Whatever.
