In fact, knowing the lying, arrogant punks were put in their place makes the show even more enjoyable for me. Well, to each his own, although I must admit I find your description of them a little overboard. Rob and Amber were competitive, and not out to make "friends" of everyone in the race, like Kentucky.
A spelling error, one that almost anyone might make in the heat of a competitive race like that, arrogant or not, cost them the race. In addition to their competitiveness, I admire Rob and Amber for not grousing on and on about how Uchenna and Joyce were given a most unfair break in being allowed to board that airplane after the gate had already closed. In this day of post 9-11, I find it most odd that that event was allowed to occur.

I enjoyed Rob and Amber this season. But you are misunderstanding the events of their prior season. 1) Rob and Amber were given an "unfair break" earlier in the race themselves when plane came back for them. 2) Uchenna, Phil, et al have explained how poorly that scene was edited. Uchenna and Joyce found out that the ticket agent lied to them about the flight (after Rob asked her to). They raised a fuss about being lied to (wouldn't you?) and the gate agent, faced with a very upset Uchenna and several cameras called the plane back. I'd hardly call that unfair.
