Amazing Race: All Stars

Ghoulish Delight · 02-19-2007, 12:31 AM

We're actually watching this season. We actually watched a bit of season 1, and enjoyed it, but either it was up against something else we watched, or we just kinda didn't have enough of an attention span to care about Survivor AND AR (and we lacked a DVR). But we figured an All-Star season would be a good one to give it another show.

I liked the first episode. And I'll admit to liking Rob and Amber. I liked Rob in his first go on Survivor. He may be smug and an attention whore...but at least he backs it up by actually being on top of things.

CP and I were having MA flashbacks.

As Jeff said, Rob was the star of Survivor All-Stars. He should have won the million without having to marry Ambuh (though he did seem genuinely smitten in his monologues). My memory is vague, but I thought Rob pulled his weight on Amazing Race and CBS contrived to screw them out of the victory. Further, at least Rob and Amber did get married, which is more than you could say for the Bachelor/Bachelorette pairings, except for Trista and Ryan, whom I never understood. Byron and Mary are apparently still engaged, but she's got to be close to 40, what's he waiting for?

It was a phase.
