He's always pretty funny. He's cocky which makes most people turn on him but I think he's learned to tone that down somewhat.

so far rob has by far played the best game....he has made all the right decisions and should have won last week's leg too if not for some traffic problems...romber should glide through this race because they are having fun with it, and that what makes it enjoyable to watch for me.

As many others have said already, Rob is taking this race to a new level. I loved the part where he got several teams to chip in $5 for the bus driver and then kept his own 5 bucks. You get the feeling he's just toying with these people.

"House" was a repeat, but viewers apparently missed it the first time around, as the episode approached series highs with a 10.1/15 to give the 9 p.m. hour to FOX as well. CBS stayed second with the 7.1/11 for "The Amazing Race." ABC's two episodes of "According to Jim" averaged a 6.4/10 for third. NBC moved back up to fourth with "Will & Grace" and a new "Committed." The WB's "The Starlet" got a better sampling on Tuesday than in its Sunday premiere, doing a 1.8/3. UPN was sixth with a "Veronica Mars" repeat.

BTW, did we decided upon what the team's nicknames will be?
Some of the nicknames that I seen people use in the Amazing Race thread are:
Rob and Amber: Romber or Team Survivor.
Debbie and Bianca: Team The L-Word
Meredith and Gretchen: Team Geezers, Team Retirement Home
Any suggestions for the remaining teams?

What is even more astonishing about last week's finish is did you notice that Rob and Amber and the Mother/son combo finished roughly 20 minutes behind the girls. If I recall the trucks that teams got on wwent every 20 minutes and then they got their cabs, that's the case the girls made up a total of almost 40 minutes on the other 2 teams.
Also, I knew Rob would be good, based on how shrewd he had been on Survivor but this outright funny how he is playing these other teams. Barring
some truly bad luck by them or dumb luck by others they should at the very LEAST be in the top 3.

Count me in with the Romber fans! Rob is just an amazing competitor. Smart, too. Amber will ride his coattails all the way to the finish line, just like in Survivor. (Not that I fault Amber for it. She pulls her weight and doesn't complain. )

I am not a Rob fan, but he is playing the game brilliantly up to this point. Loved how he pooled the other the other teams money and didn't contribute; how he paid off the bus driver to let them out first; how he had enough sense to stack the books properly; how he is helping the last place teams from last week to get rid of the real competition; how he is pushing everyone's buttons to get them riled up. They are going to be the team to beat.
Too bad the blondes are gone. I am pretty sure it was a tattoo on her back as well.
The brothers were crushed. There goes any potential cozying up in hotels in exotic locations.

Rob' ultimate quality is that he would rather make his brother and his friends back in Boston watching him on TV laugh than make friends with the other contestants.
Every thing he does, just picture him thinking this
"Oh man, Sully's gonna fucking love it when I screw these two old people over"

Hard to know where to drag line here with Rob. He was brilliant with way he stacked the books to point I didnt pay attention and wondered why everyone else had to make two trips. But he was almost disgusting enough to bribe doors closed and looks like stealing taxis pretty soon too. I dont claim to know what rules are for AR if there are any I sure at least physical contact is not allowed but do where draw the line? How far before its too far? Booby traps for next contestant? Bribing every taxi you dont take if your ahead with few bucks to get competitors lost? I much rather root for guy that is still smart yet is enjoying the view of new countries and is honest when confronted with ploys.

I'm actually kind of rooting for them because that is sweet.
