Please keep this thread completely empty of all discussion (and sigpics) until the West Coast gets to completely ignore this episode too. After all, if every person who swore they'd never watch the show again -- and keep everyone else from watching the show as a divine duty -- because Rob & Amber went out follows through on their promise, the ratings can only be one number: zero. So you're not watching tonight. In fact, the only reason you're on this thread is to see if anyone will break their word. And no one's going to. They swore on Rob's hat, y'know. That's sacred. So according to Rob & Amber's most devoted fans (who of course know everything, just like their heroes. Well, everything except how to spell the name of a country that they say will no longer exist as soon as they get through with it), we're not watching, we're not talking, and no one cares any more. And how could they possibly be wrong? So just keep this thread completely quiet.

Anything else would be a sin.

I love Romber but I love TAR more! I would never stop watching!

Unfortunately, it appears TAR will be late tonight because basketball is still on!

One nation, under Romber...

I love Romber but I love TAR more! I would never stop watching!

Heresy! The sinner shall be punished with flame! And Donald!

No one expects the Romber Inquisition...

I thought we were going to be close to a normal start time!! The Memphis/Nevada game was so close..then we have to suffer through the end of UK and Kansas. Just bring on TAR please!

Basketball finally over....looks like TARs will be about 42 minutes late.

42 minutes late.

So basically, it's Romber Memorial Week.

I think it should be a Memorial for those civilians killed by the Marines in the 60 Minutes story. I think I'm going to be sick to my stomach after watching it.

I hate Romber. I'm glad that they're gone. They never should've been on it in the first place. Even the first time! Now I can enjoy my favorite show ever without the distraction of the hate of the heat of a thousand suns! ETA: Oh wait! Schmirna's still there. Gah!

*waits*

*checks watch*

*yawns*

*goes to make a sandwich*

Canada is on time. If you want early updates, I'll do a few under Canada Spoiler thread.

Recap: Romber is still eliminated in case any were worried or hoping.

We Can'tadians get to watch the show on time, courtesy of the CTV feed.

So far, hell hasn't frozen over, the world hasn't stopped spinning and nobody's been thrown into the fjords of Tierra del Fuego. Yet.

Still I think the cheers would have been louder if it was Rob and Amber who walked in. C&M seem to have rubbed everyone the wrong way.

ITA! No one likes Charla and Mirna!

Yup.

And I love how everyone's comments are about wanting great competition, and Mirna's still lost in her own world thinking that she single-handedly threw Romber out of the race.

B!tch.

A simple receiver/transponder that tells you how far you are from the clue and D&O are fighting over how to use it. I mean this thing is just a high tech version of the 'Hot or Cold' game.

Glacier Clue: Guidos #1 Next step flight to Maputo Mozambique
#2 Uchenna and Joyce
#3 Eric and Danielle
#4 Teri and ian
#5 Charla and mirna
#6 Dustin and Kandice who misread a clue again
Cha cha still looking and arguing

Start times leg 5:

O&D - 12:02
E&D - 12:06 + :04
T&I - 01:04 + :58
J&B - 01:55 + :51
D&K - 01:58 + :03
J&U - 02:38 + :40
C&M - 02:41 + :03

Total time difference, first to last: 2:39

Some women handle the rats okay, but some leave to the men to guide it.

And guess which team member who has to carry the most of any team in the all of TAR would not go near the rat?

Apopo mine field:
Joe and Bill have the best rat and are #1. Back to Maputo and the Praça Dos building
#2 Cha Cha
#3 Uchenna and Joyce
#4 Teri and Ian
#5 Eric and Danielle
#6 Dustin and Kandice
Charla's rat is still looking for a mine.

Take your pick of these two bon mots from The Guidos:

Teri: Do you have "The Guidos" embroidered everywhere? Underwear, too?
Guido: Thongs. We get wedgies.

or...

While in the airport waiting for their flight, The Guidos head to a shop and spray perfume all over themselves (including Joe's hair), one of the Guidos said, "Smells like a French whore, but it'll do." As if they've had lots of experience...

Or while admiring a rat, one of the Guidos said, "Guido's just a bit bigger."

Talk about your cultural blindness, many of the teams avoid the task of painting nails which turns out to be both fast and easy because they think men could not sell it, when in this country it is a man's job to do nail painting.

Phil runs when D&O try to hug him with their dirty, coal dust, smelly selfs.

That was soooo funny!

Start times:

Cha Cha 12:02am
Mixed Tag 12:06
Teri/Ian 1;04
Guidos 1:55
BQ's 1:58
Uchenna/Joyce 2:38
Schmirna 2:41 (which explains why U/J was still on the mat...)

Hours of operation 8:00am, which of course made the start times mute......

Guido thongs? *shudder*

Is anyone counting how many times per episode Mirna says "Come on, Charla" or "Charla, come on"?

Mirna didn't know what an avalanche was but called the BQs not that smart?

The counter would break if I tried counting that. Also, pot: meet kettles......

And as a drinking game that would be a fast ticket to the ER for alcohol poisoning.

Wow, so late, so getting home a 9 pm means I didn't miss much?

LAST EDITED ON 03-18-07 AT 07:50 PM (EST)

Sorry forgot to put in CANADA SPOILER (PIT STOP INCLUDED)

Detour Pamper or Porter
Pamper: Paint finger nails for money
Porter: fill 10 bags with 45lbs of coal and carry 1 bag to an address

Pamper is much easier.
Charla and Mirna finish first and are first at Pit Stop.
Dustin and Kandice #2 at detour and #2 at pitstop

-Teri and Ian were taken to pamper detour by error so instead of being last they are 3rd after detour and 3rd at Pit stop

-Oswald and Danny are 5th at detour 4th at pit stop (you have to see them chase Phil)

-Joe and Bill finish porter first but are 4th overall and 5th at Pit stop.

-Eric and Danielle are 6 at detour and 6th at pit stop

-Uchenna and Joyce are last after the detour and last at pPit stop but Phil is pleased to tell them they are still in the race since this is an non-elimination leg. they are Marked for elimination as last season.

Lets see shovel coal or paint nails...doesn't seem that hard to figure out which one to do. I'm surprise only 3 teams did it. Especially since Terri and Ian only had to paint 2 peoples nails.

Travel to Mozambique's capital. Must book at travel agency due to regulations. Due to limited departure times, teams have a 3:00pm arriving flight ticket in case of emergency.

Eric is upset a pair of old queens beat him in a race to the mat.

Yipes Chara an Mirna got first.. The world may have come to an end

LAST EDITED ON 03-18-07 AT 08:46 PM (EST)

Eric needs to shut his pie-hole.

You're not allowed to use that vocabulary unless you're in the club, or lovingly joking with very close friends in the club.

Between this and the repeated boob comments, he's become a regular on my poo list. Jerk.

Apparently this was taped on World Aids Day, Cha Cha Cha remember one of their former lovers who died of Aids.....

and the world just went upside down, because Schmirna who was so late leaving the Roadblock, finish the Nail Polish part of the Detour first....

Meanwhile: Cha Chas, Guidos, Uchenna/Joyce are all on Porter....

BQs are heading for Pamper, Mixed Tag's heading for Porter, and Kahunas want to head for Porter...

Schmirna is team #1! For the first time ever! BTW, MY EARS!

BQs are team #2 from Pamper

Kahunas arrived at Pamper by mistake... and want to overcharge!

Danny: Do I look like Rambo?

Oswald: You look lika a soggy racoon!!

Kahunas are Team #3
Cha Chas are Team #4 and the Phil chase begins!
Guidos are Team 5
Mixed Tag are Team 6 by a hair
Uchenna/Joyce are last, but it's a non-elim, so they're "marked for elimination" which means it's first or a 30 minute penalty....

I just love the ChaChaChas!

Too bad it was a NEL. I don't really care for U/J.

I agree. I would have been happy if Uchenna and Joyce had been booted. I really don't think the non-elims are fair. You can be last and win the game just because of the odds of when you are last. I think they should always kick out the last team.

I cant' believe they Mirna's team came in first they annoy me so much and why why why do they insist on speaking English with an accent . It doesn't make people who don't speak english understand you better. It's so rude... I cringe physically cringe everytime they are shown on Camera...

Glad U &J got the non elim though .. although secret Romber fan would have loved for Romber to have gotten it last week

LAST EDITED ON 03-18-07 AT 11:06 PM (EST)

>>speaking English with an accent<<

And just in this leg, speaking Italian & pseudo-Spanish while in Africa! Good job girls!

(I think their "5 languages" just consist of grazi, gracias, rapido, donde, amigo. I don't think I've ever heard them using any other words.)

(etf spelling)

Haha I say the same thing, it gets old very fast. Funny to watch though

Michael
http://www.hinghamweather.com

I think Mirna's accent is real. Is English her first language? Not sure.

Nope, the accent(s) are not real.

Both of them moved to the country very young, and speak English very well with no accent in their confessionals.

I'm sure much of their family speaks with an accent -- so it wouldn't be nearly as weird if they broke into Syrian or Armenian -- But Spanish? Italian? Lower East Side?

100% phony.

Arabic is the official language of Syria, where they were born. Syriac, Armenian, Kurdish, French, English, and "others" are spoken there as well. Their bios list Armenian and Turkish among the languages they speak.

I think the board might need a few dozen to realize this fact:

Charla and Mirna, you're team #1!

Mozambique!! Glad to see a new location. What a turn around, the coal turned to be a disaster. I knew it from the start too. Ian and Terri were lucky they stumbled on it. Can't wait to see what next week's plane incident is all about!

Michael
http://www.hinghamweather.com

Yeah they were lucky 2 locals put up with their overpriced sloppy nail polishing!
At least Schmirna charged their 'customers' fairly. The BQ's even gave a free service for a child with no money.

I was not happy to see Schmirna in 1st.

But watching Danny & Oswald chase Phil all around the yard? Priceless.

Word. They are now my team to cheer.

Can't wait to see what next week's plane incident is all about!

Agreed! I was racking my brain last night trying to figure out what it could be. They must have had a ticket to actually get on the plane? Maybe Eric's mouth finally gets him in trouble.
