Another one to muddy the water but this one says Romber do not win.  I saw this last week over at sucks while the Madbananarush spoiler was being bantered about. 

My boyfriend works for CBS. He knows the outcome of the race, but was sworn to secrecy. After nagging him for a long time he finally gave me the folowing information : -

Romber will be in the final three but will not win. M/G won't make it out of England.


Missbehavinalot posted it and as you can imagine it was flamed because it contradicted the Madbananarush spoiler.  But as every one now knows, missbehavinalot was correct.

This is new spoiler starting at TWOP.


[So who wins The Amazing Race? You might have red about them, but I wouldn't bet on it. All I'll say is that it's not even close. The final two teams get so beat they're black and blue. /b]

Poster by the name of Prior Walter.  Peeps already solved the riddle.  Dude is saying he knows Romber win.  Going back to TWOP to watch the show.



Hmm maybe Romber do win being they are seen on airplane alone, and not seen in Puerto Rico going to Miami while RK and UJ were.  So to me  either they were just not seen, are ahead and come to a easy win, or are way behind.

Didnt Lynn and Alex say they were pleased with the outcome in a interview?? So that i think hints to RA not winning?? But i dont think they would be able to say something like that i dont know.

This is the only other post at TWOP Prior Walter's posted so far:

Haha, ok. Well, I won't go the riddle route. Rob and Amber win. And yes, I'm new here, so I understand with that comes skepticism.

As for Lynn/Alex saying they're happy with the winner? Don't look too much into that. Afterall, what would they say? "We're pissed with the winner!" That would certainly give it away. They're not THAT stupid.

And it's not a close race here. Not at all. Not sure how editing will show it, but planes and trains won't make a difference here. U&J start the race with a disadvantage, and never recover. And from what I've been told Ron & Kelly actually ended their relationship before the last leg, although don't look for that to be shown. Wish I knew more like places and tasks, but I don't. So I won't take offense to people questioning this, I would too.

This certainly maybe why after all these months that since the race officially ended there is so much animosity and hatred for Romber" Still"  from the other teams }^! }^!

I hope the TAR producers (or whoever) learn a lesson from this season NOT to let contestants from other reality shows participate again - unless they meet our approval   :)*.  I agree with M/G that the rest of the racers were at a disadvantage because of R/A popularity around the world.  I will be thoroughly disgusted if they do indeed win.   ,.( :/

The only ones who seem to be bitter about Romber are Lynn/Alex, Patrick, and Gretchen and these people had a problem with Romber in the first place.  They are probably mad that Romber placed higher than they did.  Yes the race has been over for like 5 months and the bitterness could have worn off but could have started up again because the show focused on Rob and Amber, the media always talked about Rob and Amber, they are getting a wedding. These teams never had a chance to shine because of Rob/Amber being on the show.     I have a feeling that some teams feel hurt how the media wants to talk about Rob/Amber all the time and I would be feeling angry no matter how they placed first or second or third.  It is just not fair

Why have we not seen bitterness from Ryan/Chuck (yeah I know first), Megan/Heidi, Debbie/Biianca, Ray/Deana

Can anybody explain why Brian/Greg are not bitter towards Romber because Romber did not have the heart to even stop to see if they were all right. Since they have a reason not to be nice towards them but are.

Hey, not everyone in the world watches Survivor. What Rob does so well is meet and befriend people.  He has found at least one person in almost every city to help him out. (Of course, Amber's cute little smile doesn't hurt).  And Rob certainly has studied previous TAR's and knows how the game is played.  And, and this really shows how smart he is, what other teams member takes the time to have certain set phrases (such as, please drive as fast as you can) into the local language?  Other teams just bemoan the fact that not everyone in the world speaks English, Rob alone does something about it.

More from the new spoiler Prior Walter at TWOP:

easjer, I understand. Like I said, I know this will come with a lot of doubt and skepticism, as should all spoilers. Coupled with the fact that all I was given was pretty vague on the actual events of the race, and mostly behind-the-scenes information. No one has to believe anything. Just remember it next Wednesday morning, haha.

One thing I will say about the finale is, of course, the first leg is a non-elimination leg, with U&J coming in last. But to make things fair, there is some airport bunching, but U&J pretty much get screwed there and never recover. In the end, they're about 2-3 hours behind the other teams.

Also, I'm told that those who feel that Amber isn't pulling her weight, may change their minds. Apparently she rocks the roadblock.

Well, it seemed to me they were on a lot of magazine covers that show up everywhere.  You didn't have to watch Survivor to know who they were.   [^/  I do agree that Rob plays the game well, but at this point I am sick of them.   _}{

EVERY MOVE, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY DECISION AND EVERY STROKE OF LUCK CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BATTLE TO THE FINISH LINE FOR THE $1 MILLION, ON THE SPECIAL TWO HOUR FINALE OF "THE AMAZING RACE 7," TUESDAY, MAY 10 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"5 Continents, 25 Cities and more than 40,000 Miles!" -- Three teams compete in the last legs of the race ending in one team winning the one million dollar prize, on the special two-hour finale of THE AMAZING RACE 7, Tuesday, May 10 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

After 40,000 miles of travel, Teams reach the last city and one of them becomes the one million dollar winner of the Race. Along the way, the final three Teams are neck and neck, racing in their taxis to the next location when one Team’s taxi gets a flat tire. Another Team is at the mercy of strangers when they are forced to beg for money. Also, a team makes the crucial mistake of leaving a clue behind while shopping at a bookstore.

Very good points, gman.
Rob is definitely a people person...a communicator!  He sees opportunities, draws from them & uses them for their gain.  I must admit I don't want Romber to win for the same reason as most others: they won Survivor.  But, must give him credit for "doing his homework", strategizing wisely & moving smoothly thru the game (for the most part).  I hope potential future TAR teams, are paying attention to Rob & will implement similar methods.  I betcha past teams are watching and saying ohhhh... |( ....so THAT'S what we shouda done to advance further & maybe win!! 

Romber is a great TEAM not only due to Rob's sharp tactics, but b/c they're such a compatible couple!   It's refreshing seeing them working together instead of bickering & badmouthing over petty stuff as we've seen in past Tars.
I am quite sick of Kelly.  I wish she'd shut up & quit being so petty and defensive. Gee, Ron can't say anything thing much to suit her!  If they're still together, hope they're in counseling.  If not, they should be!   
Now that M/G are gone, I'm rooting for U/J.  They are a great team and compatible couple...kind, loving, caring. 
They need the money the most too!! Goooo U/J... })}

"TAR Spotted Filming Last Week"
My friends were in Jamaica on vacation last week and spotted TAR filming at a resort there. They saw three teams (at least one was a male/female couple -- not Rob & Amber ) do either a roadblock or a detour (involving hitting golf balls to a specified area). They said the third team was far behind the other two (like five hours).

I'd like to read that article Bluetickmaggie , I dont recall Brian & Gregg having good things to say about Romber .

Puddin did you ever read Brian and Greg's JAM interview where Greg's states that everybody deserves to win and that includes Romber. They have only gotten slightly negative about Romber because they were just dissapointed that Romber did not see how they were doing at the pit stop after the accident and that they stuck to themselves.  They don't go all out and flame Romber like Lynn/Alex, Patrick, and Meredith/Gretchen(blog) have done.  They also did take the high road on the Early Show when asked if they were upset that Romber passed them when they had the accident and they said they were not.  This says to me they are not bitter or hold a grudge against Romber like some of the other teams have been doing.  They had no reason to hate Romber before the show since they did not know who they were and thought Rob/Amber as another team. If I were them Puddin which I am not I would have flamed Romber to high heaven for passing me at an accident scene but they chose not to.  Puddin to me they have taken the high road unlike some of the other contestants.  And Puddin aren't you excited to see them make a cameo appearance on the Final episode since you miss them. 

Puddin don't you think it hurts the other contestants to be pushed aside by the media because all they want to know is about Rob/Amber, or that the show focused on Rob/Amber and that they are getting another reality show.  These contestants that are bitter towards Rob/Amber are just feeling hurt.  It was all about Rob/Amber and they never got to shine.

All, I just reviewed the betting spoiler here http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/show/CTVShows/1111083841265_9/

I then went to the web site given in the article http://sportsbook.com

I can't find any place to bet on a reality show like The Apprentice, Survivor, American Idol, etc.  Can anyone find where to bet?  I only see sporting events.  The web site doesn't appear to be a place to accept reality TV show bets.

I just had a thought after reading, again, that U/J want the money for IVF.

What if Romber win but give the $$$ to U/J for that - after all, they are really in it more to WIN than for the $$$. It's the competition thing. Plus they won all those prizes. Maybe at the end, they decide being the champions is enough and give at least some of the $$ to U/J. And that will make the wedding special of Romber even more enticing to an audience during sweeps month!

Just a thought, not a spoiler.... [^/

Thought I would bring over another post from last night at TWOP from Prior Walter:

Prior Walter, MBR on Sucks was fooled by a source. I'm not trying to be rude, but how can you be so sure that your source isn't messing with you as well?


Hey. Well, I'm new here, I don't know the MBR situation, but my source (that sounds so dramatic) is pretty reliable. They've proven true to me in the past when I was obsessed with this FOX show that he was a field producer on a couple of summers ago. I'll admit, this is the first time I'd weasled some TAR spoilers from him, but I'm confident. Confident enough to post it on here. But again, I understand the hesitation to buy into any kind of spoilers. You're never sure until you see it for yourself.


Just to let you know, this is Prior Walter's original post and I copied to my hard drive before going to bed.  Prior Walter edited it almost immediately.  "He" is now a "she" and network mention (FOX) is removed.  Did Prior Walter edit it because he/she revealed to much of the source or did Prior Walter think by editing it, he/she was more convincing?  Is the source yanking Prior Walter's chain?  Is Prior Walter yanking our chains?  ..to be continued.

Bluetickmaggie I'm not one to argue so what can I say ? Gregg & Brian were a great team to bad they didn't get farther . I read some where ( not sure where ) that they are doing a comedy show or something so maybe they will get their time to shine afterall  ?

MF:  I had the same thought some time ago.  My dream is that Rob and Amber get to the finish mat first but then step aside and let Uchenna and Joyce actually get on the mat first and win the money they desperately want.  Thus Rob and Amber can honestly say that they WON TAR7 by reaching the mat first.  Technically they would be right and such a gesture on their part would really add credence to Phil's early interview that TAR7 was indeed "the most memorable of all TAR's"  And such a gesture on the part of Rob and Amber would certainly change many people's negative opinions of Rob.

I can dream, can't I?

Gosh, I think that's highly unlikely. LOL. I'm on the Romber love train, but not quite that delusional. LOL. Not that I don't think Rob isn't capable of an act of kindness, but he wants this SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo bad, and if it were a close race to the finish with U&J, his highly developed sense of competition would propel him to that mat first. Now, if anything, I can see a possibility of them saying "as winners of TAR,we would love to *help* U&J get the procedure done, cause we think they're such great people...."

Amber's "I Can't Run" at the beginning of the new preview makes me think even more that she gets hurt. It didn't sound like an exhausted I can't run - she sounded like she was in pain. I think the clip of them running with Rob's hand on her back is before this and he is helping her along.
