Don't mind Uch and Joyce but wish Rob/Amber had won. More cunning, more entertaining, better competator. Why aren't Uch and Joyce hated for perhaps foolishly sinking all their money into conceiving, and after both somehow gotting laid off from a totally corrupt company/ies, the writing for which was on the wall very early.
As a team they were gracious to the others that were to them and at the end.
Agree about Lynn and Alex, super annoying and bitter.

That's why I don't understand the hatred towards him. What he's bad cause he's successful??

He's hated for being a conniving, unscrupulous, bas**rd. No one likes to see an ***hole win in life. Kind of like watching Domi or Bertuzzi hoist the Cup, or Mike Tyson collecting another cheque for $10 million.
Here's the thing. I'll bet they could have been equally as good competitors without such manipulative malice towards their competitors. Bribing a bus driver to not open the rear doors? Slowing down to at least ask if everything was alright? Taking potshots at your competitors? Didn't help em at all. He just lacks class.
Was he really that good a Racer? Some of the other Racers have suggested that it wasn't a "level playing field" that the general public was "falling over themselves" to help the infamous Rob and Amber, but not the other Racers. When you look at how many times they were able to get a local to zip them through a leg of a race, it does appear that they had an unfair advantage. Heck, in one of the episodes they even showed Rob and Amber's face on a magazine in South Africa.
