He played within the rules.
He took a chance, in most situations a 4 hour penalty would end your race, but he knew that others would likely end up quitting the task and be behind him, plus you had 2 directionally illiterate teams, Susan and Patsy who took 2 hours to find the highway entrance in Santiago, and the 2 girls who drove to the ocean before realizing they took that wrong left turn at Albuquerque and missed the enormous Andes mountains by 150 miles or so.
So one of those 2 stupid teams deserved to be ousted and they were. (Jeez if you're gonna participate in a race around the world, at least learn how to read a map and road signs first)

And there's always some scheming during Amazing Race.
Hewson said:I don't think Rob's done an excessive amount of scheming, basically just bagging out on the eating 4 lbs of food. He took a risk there and it paid off.
Otherwise they've played the game pretty much the same as all the others, they're just better at it than most. Rob was the only one who knew how to stack 180 books on a dolly in one trip without dropping them all over the street. And they've been smart enough to enlist some local help when needed, its not like nobody's ever used that tactic before.
Many of the other racers' biggest problem is they are focusing so much on Rob and Ambah that they'll get themselves eliminated.
I find the Rob/Ambah element fascinating in this edition.

And I hope the brothers aren't injured in the car accident
Have you watched every episode?James Wrothman said:Just curious, What's so amazing about it. Amazing would be like Higaldo or something. Something where you have a chance to die.
Hewson said:Have you watched every episode?
Did you see the one where the racers had to survive a swarm of amazon killer bees wearing only bathing suits and armed with only butter knives?
How about the episiode where they have to race through an active landmine field wearing circus clown oversized shoes while blindfolded?
And lets not forget the episode last season when they had to spend a night in a Turkish prison with cigarettes strapped to their naked bodies and their hands and feet bound.
Pretty amazing stuff.
