Ha ha...maybe, but I got in on the conspiracy theory just before the show started.

Do you know what the ratings have been lately? Have they been falling enough so that the producers thought they'd have to do something to pick them up again this year? (Maybe just those two being on the show in the first place is an indicator.)

Now you've got me all intrigued.

Not sure on the timing - but ratings have been very good last few seasons.

Ugh, conspiracy theories...

Lots of people get on planes at the last minute...they got lucky yeah, but I doubt it was fixed...

They run a good race and don't make mistakes...others are too lacidaisical and retarded to make a great effort...like the whiney kid and his mom.

Man, he has such little respect for her...

Anyways, the real show was the first 45 minutes...I fast forwarded through the last 15

FWIW there's considerable "backlash" on sites like jumptheshark.com and fan sites basically accusing CBS of fixing the show because they're going to pull a "bachelorette" and televise their wedding(rumor not claiming they are indeed going to televise it).

Rob is so funny I'm actually glad he's on the show but the sheer number of coincidences is creating a lot of "this show is fixed." Leave at 9 for a 9:30 flight 25 miles away and get there at 9:25, in a foreign country, possible yes. Find the hidden boat first try when everyone else couldn't, again possible, maybe Rob is just very good with maps. Drive around admittedly COMPLETELY lost and just miraculously stumble upon the parking place for the next stunt, sure I've been lost before and lucked into where I was going but it's just the sheer number of times this stuff is happening that's leading to the speculation.

I've always suspected that some of the non elimination stuff is rigged, they pull it out when a team that "makes for good tv" is otherwise gone.

If Rob and Amber wind up winning the show is going to be accused of fixing it right or wrong, I guarantee that.

Just wait until the first time Romber finishes last, and it is a non-elimination leg............

Enjoyed the double episode - the old lady (Gretchen) really biffed it.

Nice new twist on the non-elim leg - losing money, and ALL possessions.

Was that the first big wreck on TAR?

Rob and Amber showed their true colors - not even stopping to see if everyone was ok.
And it was funny seeing Rob get mad at Lynn and Alex for not letting them in the cab, after all the similiar crap that ROMBER did to the other teams......

I don't understand how they get plane tickets with no money. Are flights not included in their expenses?

No - flights are paid for by the Race - that is the only expense the teams do not have to cover.
