I admit Rob has times when he is a tad too "sniggering ass", but as Miss Alli of TWoP has stated in the past, Rob is totally not serious when he says these things half the time. You have to watch his body language.
Basically, you're either a fan of him or you're not. I just am.

Definitely. There is no inbetween with this team, you are either like them or you don't. They are very polarizing and have been from the moment they were announced as participants of the race. I'm still liking them, but they definitely aren't my favourites.

Rob has always been a bit of a joker, it's natural. But, with the incident with Lynn and Alex (I don't recall what Rob and Amber did to them personally up to that point, but obviously there must be something, or it's just some idiotic disliking they have), Rob was serious with his words for Lynn and Alex.

HATER
Rob and Amber are the best team this season and probably the best ever to play the game (maybe 2nd to Team Guido).

well i liked this two hour block. I was scared when Meredith and Gretchen were walking to the finish line but luckily they got the nelimination. As for Ray and Deana i am glad they are gone. I would have actually cared if the brothers had gotten eliminated but good thing they didn't. here is my prder for the teams now
6.Ron and Kelly
5.Rob and Amber
4. Uchena and Joyce
3.Lyne and Alex
2. Brian and Greg
1. Meredeth and Gretchen
i know for a fact that M&G won't make the final three which makes no kris and jon this season

Really for a fact, or just a guess?

Well, even if he isn't serious, he can be rude and hurtful to many people. I agree that you're either a fan or you're not.

Oh, my god. I have had it.
He. Was. Joking.
Did you not see the tongue-in-cheek smirk on his face?
Ugh.

Next week's preview confused me a bit, but I've got it all down now.
Tonight (Tuesday): Regular new episode
Tomorrow (Wednesday): Clip show
So, don't forget, there is a new episode on tonight.

It confused me too. I'm glad we are getting a new episode tonight, and the clip show on Wednesday. I would prefer not to have a week go by without a new The Amazing Race.

Looks like next week will be a non-elimination leg. Lynn and Alex are really annoying and now I hate them. Rob is still a big ass, but Amber is okay. O. and Joyce are my second favorite team following M. & G. Ron and Kelly aren't anything special, although I'm getting tired of Kelly. She's a whiny brat, it seems.

Brian and Greg's elimination was disappointing, I was really starting to cheer for them.
What was with the teams not reading their clues tonight? First with Meredith and Gretchen at the water tower, then with Brian and Greg at the water tower who wasted quite a bit of time there. Followed by Uchenna and Joyce at the road block, then Meredith and Gretchen AGAIN at the road block. I mean, how hard is it to read and follow the clue? M/G and U/J are lucky it didn't cost them the race like it did Lori and Bolo last season.
As for the rest of the episode I thought it was okay. I liked the fact there was no bunching and that the road block and detour tasks weren't crazy but had definite advantages and disadvantages to them, but the excitement of past legs just wasn't there for me. Ron and Kelly managed to be annoying tonight without mentioning the military, but Kelly's response to Ron's supposed Shut the F up did seem disproportionate. Oh well, I don't like them who cares.

If they showed what she was talking about, then he didn't say that. It was like "Would you shut up" or something. But, it could have been off camera. Also, Meredith and Gretchen's second mistake wasn't because of reading the clue wrong, it was that they passed the clue and thought it was up ahead. But I hate how they are always running into bad lick. Hopefully that luck can change in the coming weeks.

I liked it when the gay dudes said Uchena and Joyce were born to carry stuff on their heads.
The same way I guess those two were born to milk miniature cocks.

Pretty hilarious stuff at the end. The teams were all worried about nonelimination and wore all their clothes (Lynn & Alex) or no clothes (the brothers) so Phil wouldn't take their stuff away because he'd feel too bad.
The editing in this episode was a lot slower. It was nice.
Too bad to see the brothers go. My #2 team behind Rob and Amber.

I was just beginning to REALLY like Brian & Greg. Blah. Me liking any team is a curse :-(
In order of preference right now:
Unchenna & Joyce
Meredith & Gretchen
Alex & Lynn
Rob & Amber
Ron &...?

Now that the brothers are gone, I'm rooting mainly for Unchenna and Joyce.
Preference
1. Uchenna & Joyce
2. Rob & Amber
3. Meredith & Gretchen
4. Ron & Kelly
5. Lynn & Alex
Is it just me, or has season 7 gone by really quickly? I mean, I know there's still 2 non-elimination legs to go, but this only started March 1.

Wow, it was quite an episode for mistakes.
Rob and Amber: Alternating from milking a goat to carrying items to milking a goat again.
Ron and Kelly: All of the bickering is a mistake since they shouldn't have signed up if they weren't going to be able to tolerate each other, although I hear that they were put together at the last minute? At least there is some interaction between this previously silent team.
Uchenna and Joyce: Forgetting to get their post.
Meredith and Gretchen: Misread clues twice; forget where to go, then forgot the clue.
Lynn and Alex: Two vehicle accidents (and still 4th place, dammit).
Brian and Greg: Misreading the first clue; coming in last despite ALL the mistakes every other team made.
Well, it seems Rob and Amber made the least amount of mistakes, but I wouldn't want to say too much and upset anyone who doesn't want to hear me rooting for a team that's so awesome... oops! I just did.
Order of Preference
1. Rob and Amber
2. Meredith and Gretchen
3. Uchenna and Joyce
4. Ron and Kelly
5. Lynn and Alex
I was sad to see the brothers go. They were pretty good. Lynn and Alex make two idiotic comments, first about Uchenna and Joyce and then about Meredith and Gretchen, yet they still have feel bitter towards Rob and Amber. At least they didn't say much about Rob and Amber this time. Lynn or Alex (the useless one, can't tell which is which cause I don't really care) should thank his stars for the other. Lynn and Alex is a one person team from the get-go, and that was made clear on the Road Block when the useless one could barely do the damn thing.

That's my order too, with quite a gap between 2 and 3, and 3 and 4. The thing this season has against it for me is that I'm not really invested in a U/J win or loss. If they got eliminated next week, I would still watch the show - the same couldn't be said last season with Kris and Jon. But comparing U/J to my favourite Amazing Race team, and perhaps favourite reality show contestants ever might be unwise.
Clip show: I didn't like this clip show as much as last seasons. There didn't seem to be that much new footage and the episode didn't change my feelings on any team in particular. I guess the only moment I liked was when Amber was telling Rob that she's gonna be mad at him later for playing that follow the leader game with M/G. Also seeing their picture on a magazine on another continent made me laugh.

I liked Brian and Greg.
For me, at the moment, it's:
1. Uchenna and Joyce
2. Meredith and Gretchen (I like Rob and Amber a little more, but I'd rather see M and G win)
3. Rob and Amber
4. Lynn and Alex
5. Ron and Kelly (they're remind me of a boring version of Freddy and Kendra; watch them win  )
