Interesting article Andrea - aren't Rob & Amber just a little bit overexposed? Colin & Christie? Ugh! I've missed most of this season, but if the Kentucky couple were elminated already, how does that qualify them for all-star status? Thankfully no Jonathon and Victoria.

I think Team Kentucky developed a fan base because they were SO small-town and undereducated. Jonathan and Victoria have a new baby daughter, so that may have kept them from competing IF they were contacted.
I do wish Chip and Kim, and Uchenna and (Joyce?) could compete again. They had such class, and they got so much joy out of the places they went.
I'll probably half-watch it; I have such a narrow base of shows that I like.

Oh I think it's great news! I have many favorite teams from past seasons that I would love to see in the race. Thanks for the heads up, Andrea. Now I will have to seach the forums to see who else has been picked! Editing to add, here is the scoop at my favorite Amazing Race forum

I love the "Race" but Rob and Amber turn me off - do't know if I'll be as interested watching his antics again!

I don't either Karen! I think they were part of separate teams before but now they are together. Looks like the page is up at cbs.com - I sort of remember them now: Eric and Danielle

I am glad John Vito and Jill got eliminated as I don't remember them from past seasons, lol. Who else found Kevin and Drew to be annoying? I was never a big fan of them the first time around, though.
I think so far I am rooting for blondes and Mary and Dave (even though Mary lied last night!!). I hope they are as resourceful as they were last season. I also like Amber and Rob, they really are good at the race.

Karen I am with you on John Vito and Jill. Drew was so dramatic after he fell in the road. Rob and Amber are very resourceful, but I am not sure if I want them to win.  I would like to see Dave and Mary or Uchenna and Joyce win, I think! I can still remember how Uchenna cut all her hair off and that really took a lot of courage in my opinion. I was sad to hear they are unable to conceive and they are hoping the race will bring them closer together.

Just caught up with the last 2 episodes - it was fun seeing them in Chile, in the Atacama Desert, where were last fall. A couple we met on the trip went to see that big copper mine as a way to kill some time before a late afternoon flight. A highlight for us was the hike we took in the Valley of the Moon.

Leslie, did you see when they were in Puerto Montt and they stopped in a restaurant to ask for directions? I am pretty sure that that was the restaurant where we stalking Oliva during our "famous" webcam stalk.

Karen - is anyone watching besides you and me?
So glad you know who was elminintated - actually it was very surprising at this stage of the game - they were gracious though. Their downfall was his stubborness - they should have moved on to the other roadblock.

I was shocked that Rob and Amber got the axe! I am cheering for Joyce and Uchena as well.
Mirna and Charla's whining and screeching is really starting to get on my nerves!!

Yep - Mirna and Charla are annoying, but it was great to see them beat R&A, especially after they stole the cab & tried to throw them off - it must have been by a narrow margin - it looked like they were pretty close to them on the last run. It was sweet of Uchenna to give Charla the last helping hand onto the finish line. I was surprised it wasn't a non-elimination round. Probably not the last we'll see of Rob & Amber...

So very pleased with last night's outcome, BUT, I wanted them to lose to Joyce and Uchenna in the final moment. This was unexpected.
What was with Mirna and Charla? Whine, whine whine...

Charla/Mirna - they need to get a grip!!! :eek:

I watch the show every week--was shocked when Rob and Amber were eliminated (not that I liked them, just figured they'd do better in the race). I agree with everyone about Charla and Mirna--hope they're the next to go!

I was shocked that Rob/Amber got eliminated off.

They drive me bonkers too but they surely do provide amusement as well! Watching them is like driving by an accident, you can't help but look!
I think at this point, I am cheering for Joyce and Uchenna and the blondes. I admire both of these teams as they never bicker and they just get the job done! Oswald and Danny are too laid back for me, I wish they would be a little more serious about winning.

The blondes are getting ruthless. I couldn't believe they were able to talk the travel agent into hanging up on Uchenna. The suit of armor sequence made me laugh out loud at the TV.
