After easily winning the first three legs, Rob and Amber Mariano were
surprisingly the fourth team eliminated from CBS' The Amazing Race:
All-Stars. On Monday, the 30-year-old Rob and 28-year-old Amber talked to
Reality TV World about the abrupt end to their All-Stars journey; how they
align and lie to their advantage; as well as what's next in their careers as
professional reality television stars.
Reality TV World: You guys won the first three legs. What happened during
the fourth leg?
Rob: It was horrendous. We had some bad luck to start out with and it kind
of snowballed. There wasn't much we could do about it.
Amber: Every chance we got to make-up for it, something else kept
happening. And we kept trying to make-up the time and something else would
happen. After we made-up for [losing time while trying the "Sign It" Detour
challenge], we got on the second [charter flight], got to the airport and we
get outside and there aren't any taxis, so everything kept snowballing. It
was a bad leg.

Thanks for posting this! Pretty enlightening as to the true logistics of the
leg. I was also surprised to read the claim that they weren't told that
spelling counted.

On The Finish Line webcast, I'm pretty sure that Rob claimed that
Charla/Mirna went down and searched for an hour. I suspect that both 1 hour
and 20 minutes are gross exagerations.
As for his other claim that they worked on the 'sign it' thing for an hour
and a half, all I can say is: wow! How could someone stare at 15 signs for
that long and not check the spelling? I also don't get why Amber thinks
that knowing the route from history class has any relevance to the task. It
would only help for finding the start point. After that, all they had to do
was look at the map and copy the names down in order. No prior knowledge
was needed.

I absolutely hate those types of challenges. They really do reward
luck over skill, and they are bullshit. I really wish they would do
away with them. And this is no way influenced by what happened this
time, I have always hated the pure luck challenges.
