I don't think they're "faulting" (is that even a word? lol) them because they're strong, they're just expressing their feelings that it makes the show predictable if they come in 1st every time.

And yea, JP said it. I don't fault them for being strong, they truely deserve it for beating all the other teams. But i just find it extremely boring if they just keep winning.

^^Now that I read what Zippo said, Zippo, their arrogance simply EXUDES. As everyone says on the board and on other boards, you'll see they say the same thing: they're becoming annoying. I like them 'cause they're strong, but I also LOVE to HATE them because of their arrogance and predictability (both in actions and placings). And Kinar, Paula, Monica, etc. have all been in the spotlight, but they have never hammed up the camera much, so arguing the fact they're hosts as a reason for hogging up the camera is not exactly a good argument. No, I'm not trying to pick a fight. BTW, Hi Zippo. Grin

I'm Raymond. :laff:

I have yet to see the arrogance too. I mean who cares, it's a race. Your going to act different. Just because your pissed because your team sucks doesn't mean you should put that hate on a team who is doing what every team should and does want to do when playing the game (winning). Not trying to sound rude in this post but seriously, when you see people win (in TAR, Football, basketball, etc anything), aren't they supposed to celebrate over there accomplishment? I mean, have any of you watched a NASCAR race where a driver won the race and they immediately left without doing a burnout, or without going to victory lane. And even though most of you probably haven't watched a NASCAR race, I'll answer the question for you: NO! They have every right to gloat on everything they have achieved.

They are just overrated - to be exact. Half the edit goes to them because they know how to play the camera or what. I know you might be thinking, then so be it because they deserved it for knowing how to play with the camera, but it's freaking boring if this is turning into a The Amazing Race Asia : Marc and Rovilson edition.

They can cheer for all they want when they win a leg, and i'm sure no one has a problem with that either, JP and Tyler. I don't see anyone having a problem with them cheering when they win. BUT, doing stupid things like pretending to be LOST when you're at the mat? That's just so fake and attracting attention - reminds me of BJ and Tyler when they did every stupid thing that's not even funny at all. Kind of retarded, if you ask me. Roll Eyes

I don't think they're arrogant, I just think they are overdoing it. It doesn't come off as natural at all, it's obvious they are doing it on purpose. It's hard for me to place my finger on it, but it's really kind of like, "Okay, we get it, you are funny, can you just race now?" I still like them, but they're kind of getting old.

^^Ok..that's how I define arrogant. :laff:

Maybe what I really meant was, overdoing it. :laff:

Now, to change topic: Why does Liz find Paula/Natasha boring? :laff:

So, if you say that "half the edit goes to them because they know how to play the camera x x x," then it logically follows that the fault isn't theirs but the producers because the producers have sole responsibility on how the show is edited. So, if THIS is really your beef then put the blame not on M/R but on the producers.

Anyway, let's just agree to disagree. You find them "boring", "not funny", "arrogant", and "cocky". I don't. To each his own.

Hi RaCeDuDe. This is my point exactly (although the word "gloat" is, I think, a wee bit too harsh). Anyway, when someone makes a touchdown in (American) Football and the guy who made the touchdown breaks out into a silly dance -- this should NOT be considered arrogance. He should be given some leeway to show his "thrill of victory" (as Howard Cossell would put it). And, oh yes, we get to watch NASCAR races here too (through ESPN) but most Asians prefer F-1 (Formula) races.

Well, do you think it's possible the producers told them to do thst beforehand or told them to do it afterwards to make it looks more close?

And now, back to the topic of Marc and Rovi...

I prefer Marc and Rovi to Paula and Natasha, actually.

*dodges stones thrown by Jake*

And I don't get how they're actually arrogant... :laff:

my team rankings have changed. I don't like Pam and Van much anymore either. I hope they get eliminated soon.

^^Let's see:

Line 1: True
Line 2: True
Line 3: Don't go back to that topic.
Line 4: I'm rooting for both, but I want the Japanese sibs, Henry/Terri and Ann/Diane to be the F3.
Line 5: *dodges stones as well*
Line 6: Not arrogant. Overdoing it. And ya, I want the Malaysian siblings to go. There's not enough room for more than one Malaysian team, more than one siblings team and more than 2 female teams on this Race. :laff:
