The southernmost tip of Argentina — aka the end of the world — marked the end of the road for professional reality stars Rob and Amber Mariano. The couple — who met on Survivor: All-Stars, were engaged on the Amazing Race 7 and married on yet another reality show — seemed to be the team to beat on CBS' The Amazing Race: All-Stars, winning each of the first three legs. But following a fluke series of unfortunate events (one of which involved the spelling of "Philippines"), they lost their lead and came in last. TV Guide spoke to the pair the day after their eliminat

Question: Am I the only one sick of seeing Survivor's Rob and Amber? I thought it was unfair of them to appear on The Amazing Race. Then Rob was on another show, and now they are doing a show about moving to Vegas where Rob will become a professional poker player. Give us a break. They've had their 15 minutes of fame, now give it to someone else.
