Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I think Amba actually = Amber, and they're saying it that way because someone is from Boston or something, and says it that way. Also, they're engaged, and Amber won the ultimate Survivor thing, and Rob was runner up, than proposed to her. Also, they both won their own Survivors.

I got this information from In Touch magazine, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Haha. x-post with Kathy reveals that my trashy magazine sources are correct.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Rob and Amba were the final two on Survivor:All-Star (she won), and got engaged at the finale. Her name is really spelled Amber, but is rendered Amba (or Ambah) by Rob's heavy Boston accent.

[eta:

Also, they both won their own Survivors.

Nope -- All-Stars was their first win.]

hip deep in pie

Steph they are former winners of Survivor, now engaged? Married? and her name is Amber. Rob, who's got a wicked Boston accent, says "Ambah."

Really? Then what were they doing on All-Stars in the first place?

Actually, I don't care, never mind. I've never watched a single episode of Survivor, and thus have no idea how it works. But thanks.

There were only 3 past winners on All-Stars -- it was was cast more on the basis of who they thought would give good ratings/who wanted to come back. [i.e., the best looking previous players plus Richard Hatch.]

That's tonight? Sheesh. Hopefully the people are less vile all around this time. Oh, they can be stupid or whiney or whatever. Just easy on the vile. I might give it up.

I am really really really really REALLY fucking done with winter. Checked the weather for saturday (planning on driving up to Philly to surprise a friend) and ....possibility of snow or flurries.

I just.... no. No more.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am glad that "Boston Rob" cops to being actually from Canton in his bio. Not so glad about the hair gel, though. My flatmate is convinced their wedding will be held on CBS within the year, since as reality shows go they are remarkably network-loyal.

Ali, I think they became All Stars because they were talky enough and popular enough among viewers to be used for more ratings.

They've been in talks with Mark Burnett to produce their wedding as a reality show since the All-Star finale.
