DR Jennifer, I do understand you reasons for rooting for Rob and Amber to win. I think different people will have different reasons for who they root for.
Rob is a good player...I don't think Amber is so good, however. So I think Rob would have deserved to win, but not Amber...I do think Uchenna and Joyce played very good and fair (not dirty).
I do tend to go for the emotion and/or the underdogs. But it is fun to see who others root for and there reasons!
I have no doubt that Rob and Amber would be fun people to have as friends, however.
It's funny that you use the word emotion, because some people (like me) were emotionally attached to romber even before the race.
I liked rob from his survivor and survivor all-stars. Amber i wasn't as crazy about, but I liked them as a couple. So i was cheering for them before TAR7 even started.
I had no idea how they would play the game. I knew they were competitive. But I really did not know if they would be good at all.
So even if they were awful, I would have been cheering them on. It's sort of interesting that they ended up being so good.
And DR MBarnum, I know I can always count on you to cheer for the likeable/underdog team. That's what is so great about you. You want the nice guys to win.
One question. They made Ron and Kelly pretty unlikeable (even though i'm sure they are nice people). I wonder if anybody was cheering for them (they were a pretty good team).
