I think this just shows that just because you are a hero and just because you served bravely, doesn’t stop you from being a jerk or a dud. ---

> [@shijinn](#): > > if either team Romber or POW had chosen the fast forward, would they have done it? that would have been a sweet test for Rob’s relationship, no way he’d be as gentleman as Uchenna. as for the POW, i would guess Ron would not be a factor to Kelly’s decision to cut or not. It’s kinda hard to say what someone would do if you don’t see them in the situation, isn’t it? Even most Boston Rob haters agree that he and Amber seem to have a very good relationship and they get along very well. If you’ve followed the whole Rob/Amber TV saga, you can see that he did take a big gamble with Amber in SAS. He did seem quite emotionally attached to her even then. Rob is an ass…to people he is competing against. That doesn’t factor into his relationship with Amber at all. ---

> [@EhhMon](#): > > Producers cave in hoping they can play the POW angle. He chose Kelly a girl he only dated for a month and not years like its be depicted on TAR. I think the show has made it fairly clear that they had been dating only a short time before the race. ---

> [@Jaade](#): > > … It’s kinda hard to say what someone would do if you don’t see them in the situation, isn’t it? … true, especially with all the editing. still, Rob strikes me more as a macho ‘protect the girl’ kind of man rather than sensitive as Uchenna has shown, and i keep thinking of that scene back in the previous fast forward where he put Amber on the spot for a decision he couldn’t make. ---

How the fuck did Kvetchen and Neardeath make it to the final four? _How stupid are the teams they’re competing against?_ ---
