Everyone's a little bit regionist, sometimes. Doesn't mean you have to go around commiting hate crimes!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I liked the hillbillies. I liked that they tried. I liked that they were crying at the end and talking about how they would be best friends forever after this experience and that the one guy without facial hair said that the other guy was the only one who ever stuck by him. You rarely see that sort of discussion of meaningful relationships between men on television.

I did like the mom and gay son and the one guy in the gay couple, Lynn, who said that Rob was "as dumb as a rock." I wish the couple that they identified as Ex-POW/Beauty Queen had gone.

I liked the Hillbillies, too. They seem like good people. I also like the ex-POW and Beauty Queen. So far, I like just about all the teams except the testosterone freak and his wife and the ex-Survivors. Tha mom/son team is quite surprising. I think they will fool a lot of teams with their cutesy suburban looks. They gay couple are fun, but they are really going to need more focus if they want to stay in the game.

I agree about the gay couple......wait til next week, they apparently have a major hissyfit.
I'm glad the hillbillys are gone...I had a hard time understanding their English.
The ex-pow and his beauty queen get on my nerves.....her whole bit about the "all-american" couple drove me nuts.......I don't think they'll last long.
Amber and Rob are idiots.........they must go, and SOON!

the thing is that they got help from this random american guy in customs. i think for the most part, people won't recognize them. my mom and my friend who love survivor love rob and amber. my mom said that rob is really smart but just acts dumb, and that amber rode his coattails all through survivor. *shrug* i still dislike them.

a little over 2 hours to go!!!

there is just something about rob that is annoying. i guess i gave the wrong impression. I don't only want them to be kicked off because they have already won, i just find rob annoying! :)

SPOILERS BELOW


yay barbie twins are gone! patrick and susan are falling behind but that market task SUCKED. rob and amber only got so far ahead because they didn't do two trips with the books. as soon as the next team was stupid and did 2, everyone else was like, oh, they did 2 so we can do two. sheesh. my mom is sooo happy rob and amber are in first and i'm like, kill me now please. sigh. anyways, i thought this was a semi-interesting episode. the shoe shine bit was boring, but after that it picked up.

i still have not wrapped my mind around the fact that rob collected money from the front teams of the bus to bribe the bus driver to not open the back door. then he pocketed his own money so he didn't have to pay for the bribe! he makes me sick.

on a happier note...the dumb girls are gone. thank jesus i couldn't stand her when she was like: my hair is in my mouth. and the other one goes: put it behind your ears. excuse me???

brian (or greg, i still can't tell the difference) is really hot. which makes them both hot, cuz they look alike. i like that team. they better stay a looooong time.

even though I HATE Rob and Amber, I am beginning to realize that they could win. The ARE playing to win......and even though I was yelling NO FAIR at the TV several times, they are doing nothing against the rules. Yes, it's rude to bribe a bus driver to not open the back door, and to take money for something and pocket some........but that's how you win. They are playing this game exactly like they would play Jeff Probsts show....and so far it's working. I may not like them, but they DO play the game........

ok i can't believe i'm the first one to post on this, esp. since i'm on the westcoast. where are all my fellow AR7 lovers???

rob is the smartest bastard to ever be on national television. i hate his guts but you can't help but acknowledge his moves on that 4 lb. meat road block. he unfortunately knows what he's doing.

i loooooove the brothers. mmmmmm, there's some meat i'd like to sink my teeth into. okay, i should stop before things get kinky.

rob is ruining the integrity of the show. yes, it's possible to scheme and cheat your way through but everyone else thus far has shown respect for the game and has played it cleanly. and what bugs me is that a lot of those teams who also took the penalty probably wouldn't have listened to rob if he hadn't been on survivor. he's a D-list celeb and that gives him power over the other teams, which he's totally milking. i hate him so so so so sosososososos much...more so even than jonathan last season, and that's saying a lot.

i'm very sad that debbie and bianca are gone. it's really their own fault for not realizing they were going the wrong way for TWO HOURS!!! but still. yay lynn and alex for coming in first! i love them!

what integrity???? It's a darn game. Rob and Amber ARE playing the game......While I do not like them.....It is refreshing to see a couple NOT screaming at each other, NOT whining, and NOT pretending to be friendly......and is refreshing to see a couple who PLAY THE GAME........
It's a game, the point is to win. He made a very smart move last night.
I am not sure they will win, but THEY PLAY THE GAME.
You want integrity, go to a chess match, or a dog show

I agree with you Elphaba....R&A are not there to make lifelong friends....they are playing to win....While I dont agree with some of the things they have done...he is pretty crafty...

I don't think, however, that they would be this far had they not been on Survivor, and learned how to play.

The scary part is he's growing on me.....I'm beginning to find him attractive......God help me!

I liked the two girls, mostly because they got along well together and although it might no make as good television, it is more enjoyable for me to watch teamwork than a yelling match. I was soooo wishing for the mother and son to get kicked out, but I can't have everything.

Actually, most of this group gets along well. The only screaming couple is Ray & Deana. Also the Gretchen yells at Meredeth but they don't get into fights. Oh, and sometimes the beauty queen can get upset, but it's usually not that often. I think thats part of the reason I like this season so much.
