That's why they had to put up subtitles for them! I always crack up when shows do that - it's rampant on Growing Up Gotti as well. Good thing, cuz I can never understand those boys!

Ha. I've yet to see a team with such an unfair advantage, not even Charla and Mirna. The **** Rob pulled on the bus tonight was the lowest thing I've seen yet on this entire show. Stunt casting at it's worst, but I suppose CBS had to get them back out there to promote their upcoming Romber reality show.

Those Gotti boys are the reason the mute button was invented, dear.

Please tell me you're kidding & that there is not going to be a Rob & Amber show coming soon. Please.

And I? Hate those f*cking Gotti kids. Loathe might actually be a better word. Despise maybe? Ugh.

He's kidding.

Although, it wouldn't surprise me to see a wedding special on CBS.

I am not, dear. They're getting their own reality show on CBS that documents the planning of their wedding and the finale is the actual wedding. They've reportedly already bagged another million for all of it.

Yes, diss is right. Bridal shower, wedding preparations... it's all being filmed for an upcoming series.

I am nauseous just thinking about a Romber show. Please please please let something bad happen to them so they don't win Race.

I finally watched this week's episode. I'm kind of glad the girls got the boot, they were dull.

I want Romber off so bad that I love every team in comparison. The two brothers are such idiots, though.

Team Oedipus and Team Enron all the way, baby!

I? Love that team. Their disdain for Romber is hilarious, the mother is such a cute little pixie, and the son is a cute little twerp with a mouth on him. They crack me up. I hope them and Debbie and Bianca do well.

Cripes, I hope they all do well because I really like them all.

I'm with you, Diss. It's kind of silly, but I'm rooting for literally every team except Romber. They're greedy and evil. Yeah, yeah, I know it's a game & it's every man for himself. And Rob definitely knows how to play the game. But I really don't think he's all that smart -he's just really good at being a dick. It's almost like he's sociopathic, no remorse whatsoever. F*ck them.

I am worried that they have a real chance of winning this thing.

And I can't help but question his & Amber's relationship - I don't know how long they'll last if they aren't competing in something. I don't know if it's a desire to win thing, or if it's the fame or if they love the attention & TV exposure, but when it's all over, will they be able to sustain a real relationship? I doubt it.

If I had to pick my faves, I'd go with mom & son (she looks so sweet & innocent, but I think there's something underneath

And you're right - that kids has a mouth on him and I LOVE it!) I also like Uchenna (sp) & Joyce and Gretchen & Merideth (just cuz they're older & I give them tons of credit for doing this. And yes, the gay guys are acting really flaming gay, but I love them too!

Ugh, I watched the first show and that's all I could take. That family is horrid.

I think the son had it correct when he said "Rob can't even put a sentence together."

I wouldn't worry, though, because they won't win. Think positive!

What he pulled on the bus was just evil. I would have gone postal on his dumb ass.

Amber has no personality, she's a lemming. He's a thug. Doesn't exactly make for a great relationship, but we'll see.

Yup, I love all three of them.

Lynn and Alex get on my nerves so badly, though. There's a difference between being loud and being obnoxious; they're just obnoxious. They had me rolling on the floor in the premiere, though, when they were scremaing "It's the hiiiiiiillllllllbillllllllllllieeeeeeeessss!" and when Lynn said "They can't drive a car because they're used to a tractor."

I liked when they were in last place this week - "Well, looks like we're bringing up the rear - but that's OK, we should be used to that"
