Bereft of any dignity - CBS presents 'Rob and Amber Get Married'
Edited on Mon May-16-05 06:33 AM by Atlas Mugged
I hate to think what the next televised edition of this loathesome couple's life might be.

'Rob Porks Amber'
'Amber Tests Urine'
'Amber Vomits Violently'
'Rob Tests Amber's Urine Before CBS Signs Deal'
'Rob Beats Amber'
'A Very Special Rob Beats Amber: Amber Miscarries'
'Rob Porks Amber Again - Make Up Booty Call'
'Amber Tests Urine - Update!'
'Amber Agonizes Over Baby Names'
Ad infinitum...

3. Obnoxious famewhores...
who have nothing going for them whatsoever. Amber won Survivor by making herself as innocuous as possible. Rob is her pushy jerk enabler boyfriend who also appeared on Survivor and lost. They both appeared on the Amazing Race recently and lost again.

I have no idea why CBS is so fascinated with these two. Bring back Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme.

6. The only difference would be...
that you have a pleasing personality and some sort of discernible talent.

8. well I do have a pleasing
personality

I would just like to go on survivor and get voted on the first night. Then it would be traveling the world and staying in 4 star hotels until the show finishes shooting in 37 days...on their tab.

at least that is how they used to do it.

9. What kind of a name is "Amber" anyway? Would you name a kid "Yellow?"
Or how about "Orange"?

10. The only positive hope is that Trista and whoever have ridden off ...
into the sunset and their 15 minutes of fame are over. Hopefully the same will happen quickly for these two, also.

13. I hope you didn't have money riding on that -
I just read a little blurb this morning that she and her husband were appearing in a new show about celebrity couples of varying status learning ballroom dancing.

Okay - I just found the link: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=748586

12. I don't think Rob will ever lay a finger on her in anger...
At least, I sure hope not. But she'll be wrapped around his finger within three years, just you watch.

18. Thanks! Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are my heros.
Also, wasn't it you who recommended Blue's Musical Movie? It's a big hit with my 3 year old, wife, and me. Thanks again!

Have-a some granola,
And put it in a bowl-a

16. Well, so far we've been spared excessive Ryan and Trista
since THEIR wedding, but I still wouldn't be surprised if they sold ABC the rights to follow them around for nine months with a TV camera when Trista gets pregnant.

Rob and Amber have already gone way over their fifteen minutes, and I suppose they and CBS will milk it for all its worth.

19. Don't go away mad - just go away
is what I would like to say to these two. The Amazing Race is sometimes fun to watch because of the places it takes contestants too. This last series was particularly interesting for us because of the older couple from Maryland. But watching Rob and Amber was so disagreeable that it took all the fun out of the show. Once or twice we even just checked out the results on line rather than subject ourselves to them. I was so happy when they lost. I thought it was funny that at the finish line, the couple that came in last got a bigger round of applause than Rob and Amber did as 1st runners up.

21. Any idea who the sponsors are?
That's who we have to target for putting on this kind of crap.

23. Can't be any one major
This travesty is airing opposite the American Idol finale. Which is also something I can't wait to miss.
