Sigh, I knew it. I accidentally read spoilers that said that in the 5th or 6th leg R/A weren't seen anywhere and I hoped that it would have been a case like when they did those books in their first leg when they were soooooooo ahead of the pack, but alas, no. And all of the previews made it pretty clear that yeah, it was the end of the road. It was partially bad luck (not finding it) and the way the leg was spread out with very little bunching, but they DID screw up the first task by not checking the spelling of the places, had they done that right away, they would have been in 3rd place after that first task.
Ah well. They were wonderful to the end though, and had such a great attitude. I loved them. I just hate that frickin' Charla and Mirna beat them. I'm rooting for Danny/Oswald and Terri/Ian now, but my love and enthusiasm for this season is gone with Rob and Amber. Sigh.

Date: 2007-03-12 07:26 pm (UTC)Perhaps crashed and burned isn't the correct phrasing (I posted all my TAR comments this morning and I'm sooooo tired) but for them - it was a huge crash from first place 3 times in a row to last place. Mostly I think Rob mentally lost the game. Amber was clearly on the right track urging him to bald snark the first task and do the other but I think he just focused on this and then getting behind and it just through him. Because the BQ's did the same thing but managed to pull up in the standings.
So - no disrespect meant towards those who love them. It's just not something I feel and as I said, I have only seen them in TAR 7 which did not always show them in their best light.
