    Amazing Race 7

    Any watchers? Who do you have your money on?

    I'm gonna guess Rob/Amber, Ron/Kelly, or Uchenna/Joyce. They look like pretty fit couples.




    Ron was a soldier in Iraq...big advantage. But his girfriend is a beauty queen...big disadvantage.

    I'm watching as we speak...and the only thing that comes to mind is why is rob and amber doing this?

    I can only assume requirement from winning survivor all stars. There's no way they would do it voluntarily.

    I think it's the new "crossover" phenomonon where stars from other reality shows are showing up in other reality shows.

    I hope the gay guys win it-they are always the most fun on this show..i think it stinks that Rob and Amber are on the show-they had their 15plus minutes of fame-they should have given the spot to two other "regular" people. I would LOVE to go on Amazing Race. Maybe someday I'll send in an application.

    They won't win. All the other teams are gunning for them. They'll get held up at every single yield...

    i think they are doing it voluntarily. i am sure Rob thinks he can win it.
    i also heard them say just after their post-Survivor engagement that when they get married they are going to make it into a TV show (where they get paid) also. they were soliciting for offers right then.

    Oh god...talk about a boring TV show...like I really care to watch that. I didn't even watch when that retard Jessica Simpson married Nick.

    Ok, so I've determined from the first show, Ron and Kelly aren't as tough as I thought. I don't think the gay guys are going to last very long...but it is hilarious to watch them!

    So this is the 2 hour episode and what I'm finding pretty amazing is how many people IN AFRICA recognize Rob and Amber. It's pretty amazing. I didn't think survivor went beyond our borders much less Africa.

    I'm actually rooting for Rob and Amber. The others hate them so much so it's kinda funny that way. That and the help they're getting is also funny.

    Poor old folks

    This season is much more bearable than season 6. There hasn't been much silly whining and yelling.

    I love TAR. I would like to see the gay guys win also because they are so funny. Rob is totally working every other team. I mean how smart is he? He didn't win Survivor but he is going to get the money anyway!

    Hey, I just noticed I have a star and new rank. How did that happen?I would probably know the answer if i would have read the info. when i registered.

    Thanks. I guess this is the instance where having a lot to say is a good thing.

    This was the first time I've ever watched The Amazing Race, and I have to say that this is one reality TV show I actually like.

    Can't really say who I'd like to win yet, although I do have to say that I DON'T like Rob & Amber at all -- that is, if Rob & Amber were the ones that passed the other team who's truck had flipped over. I don't care if it's a competition -- when there is a potential for serious injury, you don't just keep going as if nothing is wrong. All the other teams who saw what happened at least made sure everyone was OK -- Rob & Amber just went on by.

    (I'll admit I'm still learning names, so if it wasn't Rob & Amber that did this, please correct me).

    It was them.

    I'm not too sure what I would have done. I think Rob and Amber zoomed by because they might be used to the whole reality tv show and assumed that either no one could get hurt or a lot of help would be nearby and they couldn't do anything.

    One thing I really liked was how some of the other teams did whatever they could to help Meredith and Gretchen after they lost everything (apparently from what my friends said, that was a first for TAR).

    Once again, I fully understand this is a competition, but it's still nice to see when other teams are willing to help the underdogs out once in a while.

    Given the fact that other people had already stopped and they saw it, I dont think there was any problem with not stopping.

    As for the gays....they need to be kicked off and soon. They are SO annoying.

    awww c'mon the gay guys are funny. i love how they can't stand Rob and Amber. it added to it that they dissed R & A and said there was no room on their bus when there was and wouldn't let them on last night. so Rob says he's not going to be "Mr. NiceGuy" anymore after that. which was funny in itself.

    the ending was great last night with the brothers out running "mr. competitive" and his gf to get to the finish. i'm glad the brothers stayed in. they worked it hard after getting in that accident to actually have a chance.

    Oh, please, do you actually think they would have stopped if there was no one there helping? HELL NO! I agree it is a competition but come on a little common decency would be nice. Well, bad karma for them. I have been hearing little titters and i think Uchenna and Joyce win. Remember this show is taped and already done. And leave the cute little gay boys alone. They are keeping the show really entertaining.

    i looooove Uchenna and Joyce. i'd love to see them win, and then see them go back to Africa to the Children's home and adopt a couple of those beautiful children.

    You do know that if you are going to say a SPOILER, you give a warning first! Geez.

    Personally, I would like to see the gay guys, ucheena and joyce, and meredith and what ever her name is, gone.

    SORRY I a still learning all these little ins and outs.But it isn't 100%
    so is that a teaser or is it still a spoiler ? I had the same thought of Uchenna and Joyce going back and adopting maybe a couple of siblings. It would be much cheaper than in vitro and a lot surer shot. I wish them luck .
    Everyone who want s to be parents should get the chance.

    YAY! Lynn and Alex are gone! Woo!

    Now I want Meredith and Gretchen gone. Though I really do admire their strength (and it's quite amazing considering their age and the fact they lost all their stuff), she's FREAKING ANNOYING!!!

    Oh and did you catch the promo for next week's episode...that was a blasphemous thing that Kelly said (even though it was a small clip).

    HELLLLLO, I am in California and AR hasn't even been on yet! But I will still watch because I like watching the interaction. But go back a few posts,
    isn't this what I got yelled at for?? Okay you're forgiven.

    AH CRAP. Sorry about that...I forget you guys over there are in some kind of funky time zone

    But if you wanted to know, I took a nap and woke up right as they got eliminated so I watched the whole thing knowing the end. It was no loss.

    I am but a lowly Lieutenant J.G. , so of course I would forgive you OH Great Admiral. But I am a little bummed that the boys are gone. I want Amber and the ass gone. He is really getting on my ner ves. And yes lets hear a cheer for the oldies but goodies. They have gotten way farther then anyone here thought they would.

    If Meredith and Gretchen dont get the boot next week I am going to be freaking annoyed. My wife and I could not decide which team we wanted to get evicted more today.....the "Oh my goodness" lady (Gretchen) or the coniving gay duo. The only benefit with Lynn and Alex being gone before Gretchen and Meredith is that it leaves a weaker team which is a non-issue. Each week they have been squeaking by due to other people's errors.

    Hell, the lady climbed into the elephant, weighing it down more and not helping to push. Somebody really needs to hit her upside the head (No, I am not advocating abuse here!) as she appears to be completely addled.

    My favorite part of the entire thing was the previews for next week. A conversation between Kelly & Ron where she is talking to him about his "fear of committment". It went something like this:

    Her: You don't do committment.
    Him: Yeah, I don't do committment, yet I was in the military.
    Her: Yes, but you got out of it.
    Him: How?
    Her: By being a POW

    I laughed so hard my chest hurt. Like he WANTED to be a POW just so he could get out of the military?? omg! haha
