Thank God we didn't have to resort to the AXN broadcast. Many thanks, Studio 23!

What a way to start the race. Romber ends up first while John Vito and Jill are eliminated. Still, the personalities bode for great TV.

Yehey!!!! I'm into this again because of them

Go ______!

In the last episode of Rob and Amber Against The Odds, when they got the call from their agent about the Amazing Race All Stars, Rob was already strategizing. He figures that bringing big backpacks were a hindrance. So to bring something new to the game they were packing light. Amber initially was against it but Rob's answer was that they were able to survive 39 days on an island with just the clothes on thier back.

The live AXN broadcast was a lot clearer on my TV than Studio 23's. Too bad it's just the premiere episode they're carrying live.

I want to watch an AXN rerun to see if they still cut up the episode, but... I'm no longer that much of a TAR-addict.

But wasn't it revealed that Romber also got that same stroke of luck earlier in the race? I think that this was even mentioned in one TV interview where Rob was complaining about the "conspiracy" and he started stammering, unable to make a good enough reason or comeback for that bit of info.

Which part was this? I can't seem to remember this...

I remember a leg where Romber were able to get into a plane after the gates have closed, but I'm pretty sure that the jet has not yet pulled out of the boarding gates, as was the case with Uchenna and Joyce.

after watching the TWO & A HALF MINUTE episode of "elimination station"... and seeing the AMAZING "elimination villa" in acapulco ... it ain't so bad being 1st to be eliminated. heh heh.

(because of international restrictions, we can't access it on innertube ... details on how i watched it in the "spoiler" below. if anyone has a better way, please share too.

)

1. go to www.kproxy.com (or any other proxy service you'd like) ... google's translation service might work too.

2. enter this URL when asked: http://www.cbs.com/innertube/player.php?cat=125144&vid=&format=&auto=1

3. it should start to play albeit a lot slower than usual. (so put your "patience caps" on.) you can navigate around innertube like you normally do.

"You're the first team to arrive. And the good news is...."
In season 7, most on the legs with good news where taken by Romber.

and again last night... wow ... GO AMBER!

Ah Team ROMBER. AKA Team Professional Celebrity

A famous person who has no discernable talent other than being famous.

Rob and Amber are the US equivalent of Jade Goody, another professional celebrity that also became famous through a reality show (Big Brother UK).

"Use your boobs, baby! Use your boobs!"

this would probably be the all time best quote from any TAR!

Pustahan, mamayang gabi, bleeped out na yan ng Studio 23.

Exciting episode. I was happy with the elimination, pero sana yung 2nd to the last na lang muna.

It doesn't matter, they're probably next, anyway.

sardaukar · « **Reply #43 on:** Mar 05, 2007 at 11:18 AM »

Kaya lang mababawasan ang conflict kung ganon.

And it looks like it's going to be even more exciting next week. Can't wait!

Sayang, would have been fun to see "Mr. Intensity" Colin and Christie competing with Rob and Amber. Or how Rob and Brennan would have done in this edition as well.

Edited to add: Oh, one other comment on the episode, dapat hindi kita yung Road Block task from the clue box. Otherwise, it becomes a little pointless trying to make the clue cryptic.

I chanced upon a spoiler list in TWoP several weeks before the race started. It is a list of the ones eliminated, which supposedly came from a TAR dedicated website and it was true. Why they suspected it's true is because the list was removed from the site immediately. I was able to keep a copy of it, and if you dig in TWoP spoiler's thread deep enough, it is probably still there. But so far, the list has been accurate, 3 eliminations have been correct. I don't wanna post it here because I posted it on another site and even with spoiler tags, knowing the list is there, it took away the fun. $:-\$

Next week, Phil said it will be the episode "everyone will be talking about". And if that list is really true, a major upset is going to happen. And I'm guessing it will happen because a yield is going to be used against someone.

Uy, link or PM please on the spoiler.
I hope it's not Romber soon :'(

again.. Romber... you're the first team to arrive and the good news is... 3 in a row

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #46 on:** Mar 12, 2007 at 08:53 AM »

Another strong episode and definitely an ending worth talking about. That team must hate our country right now.

AshKetchum · « **Reply #47 on:** Mar 12, 2007 at 02:57 PM »

^^Well, it's not our fault if he's truly bobo and can't spell "Philippines." Buti nga!

Best episode ever. And even though I dislike Charla/Mirna, their comment to the hated team's girl member being a "lying biatch" was priceless--it was about time someone actually said that. But the episode would've been totally awesome if every single team was present and clapping as the eliminated team stepped on the mat.

otogi · « **Reply #48 on:** Mar 13, 2007 at 09:03 AM »

Hu Hu Hu :'(
I have no more team to watch for
Kaya pala masaya ang mga anti-Romber

There goes the rating...

PM naman the link to the spoiler list. Thanks

that was indeed funny! it would've been a lot funnier had they caught him...

reminded me of those uling monsters from Takeshi's Castle...

glad the last team was not eliminated but they have a major challenge... its great also that they changed the sanction for last placers in non-elimination legs... taking their money away only forced them to beg & borrow but requiring them to finish first in the next leg ups the competitiveness quotient 100x...

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #53 on:** Mar 20, 2007 at 02:46 PM »

does this mean no elimination station this week??

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #55 on:** Apr 01, 2007 at 03:28 PM »

Just a quick reminder: Tonight's (or rather, tomorrow morning's) episode of The Amazing Race is a two hour show, so set your VCRs/DVRs accordingly.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #56 on:** Apr 03, 2007 at 07:42 AM »

Without the Auschwitz detour, this would have been the funniest episode of the season. How can you not fall in love with Poland after this? The Poles have a good idiot-radar with the way they brushed off the Schmirnas. Comedic gold from start to finish. Scheming and oblivious cab drivers. sausage jokes, beauty queens and throwing up, and dressing up as a knight. I hope I'm not mean that I keep on rewinding Charla getting face plants as a knight.

Whatever happened to: "and they need to decide when it's most advantageous to go for it"

Correct me if I'm wrong but before this season this rule still applied to the Fast Forward right?

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #58 on:** Apr 16, 2007 at 12:31 PM »

Looks like it wasn't enforced this season. Possible reason could be because they used the FF last time during an Intersection. The team that took advantage of the FF this leg gave up the prize for using the FF last time.

This was one leg where an elimination was badly needed. I don't need to see the last team again. HK must love the first team. During their first season, they also came in first there.

If the next leg is in NZ, that is where they were also eliminated during their season.

sardaukar · « **Reply #59 on:** Apr 16, 2007 at 12:42 PM »

Wow, you still remember that! And they were out at 4th as well, right? Hope their luck changes this time...
