I am definitely going to keep watching The Amazing Race: I want to see how long it is before somebody decks Rob Mariano, so I can cheer wildly.
One of the things I've always liked about Race is that it wasn't Survivor: people engaged in minor pettiness and slight sneakiness, but nothing really underhanded. But in two weeks, Boston Rob has already demonstrated that he is willing to inject Survivor-type nastiness into what was otherwise a relatively above-board contest. Bribing security guards to withhold information from other teams, and then lying about what you've done? And then having the chutzpah to get indignant when people call you a liar? Not to mention going in with three other teams to bribe a bus driver to only open one door of a bus (those teams are racking up negative karma points, too -- the nastiness is infectious), and then pocketing your portion of the bribe.
Even Victoria and Jonathan last season weren't this annoying.
