Best Amazing Race Contestant ever
GabyM:
I'm surprised that no one's mentioned Rob as one of the good contestants. From what I saw in season 7, he took competitiveness up to another level, including quite a few questionable strategies, such as telling the station agent not to give any information to the Debbie/Bianca/Susan/Patrick alliance, bribing the driver to only open the front doors of the bus, stealing Debbie & Bianca's taxi, and convincing 2 other teams to take a 4 hour penalty so that he & Amber would be safe even by not finishing the task
Peace, Love, TAR! :D:

He also did a good job getting locals to help them (although it may have been because they recognised him and Amber from Survivor). He was also really entertaining.

Word on the entertaining part. I've read Ray's post race interview and he mentioned that Rob loved to play it up for the cameras, and that the two couples were good friends during the race and ended up going to each others' weddings
Peace, Love, TAR! :D:

LOL, in another interview from Ray, I read that instead of just bribing the bus driver to only open the front door, the original plan was to, when all the other teams were at a rest stop, get the driver to leave with just Rob and Amber and Ray and Deana, and leave the other teams stranded in the middle of nowhere. It didn't happen because they ran out of time. I have the link somewhere in my Favorites.
I loved watching him on TAR, so I started watching Survivor. Now I'm hopelessly addicted to Reality TV....
