The Amazing Race 15

[NotaGeek]

I am really enjoying the show this season ... and I only really dislike the lawyer and his wife! I was sad for the guys today, but it was a just reward for losing your travel docs ...

[MNNHFLTX]

Yea, that was something to see Zev and Justin go from first to last, all in the space of 15 minutes (of TV time, anyway). But the passports should have been kept in an interior pocket of their backpack that they only accessed it when they absolutely needed to.

I don't care for Lance and Keri, but to be honest I care for the poker players less (Maria, in particular), so wouldn't mind if they went next.

I was pretty bummed to see Zev and Justin go out like that (especially when they crashed down from such a high), but hey ... you've got to keep track of your travel documents. That's all there is to it.

Glad to see Flight and Big Easy back near the top again. They're a team to watch ... very methodical, disciplined, physically gifted, and they play nice with each other. I wouldn't be shocked to see them win it.

It was funny to see Flight Time & Big Easy running through the Russian Marketplace with all the short people staring up at them. And the lady wearing the scarf they needed to match up being scared out of her wits and just about running away! "She tried to run away. That was cold!" Too funny! They really are great guys.

What a way to go! There are other couples I would much rather have seen leave (can you say Lance and Keri). Those Poker Girls had luck on their side again. That's their second time arriving last to the mat without being eliminated.

[thrillme]

I don't know about some of these couples. I guess we've all argued a bit with our spouses...but I can't imagine getting as ugly as they get. Maybe it's just pressure and perhaps the "editing" that makes it look so bad.

I really love the Globtrotters but then I've always had a "soft spot" for the Globetrotters.

I didn't see the father son come in but obviously they did.

Too bad for the guys that lost their passport. I used it as a demonstration for my son if he should ever travel out of the country without me...that passport MUST be part of your body. You have to check for it regularly and make sure you have copies that you can give the embassy shoud it get stolen.

There wasn't any scene that showed the passport being dropped so I can only figure the camera guys didn't see it dropped either...even though they couldn't interfear...certianly they would have shown it falling. I think he left it at the airport.

I can't confirm its veracity, but this answer was listed on Yahoo Answers to a question about the recovery of Zev's passport.

"Yes, they went to the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh and Zev's passport was there. It had been found in a temple and turned in to the embassy. Justin realized it must've fallen out of his bag when he pulled out his headlamp in the dark temple, which they had gone into by mistake looking for the monkey challenge. Such a bummer."

Yes, very disappointing about Zev and Justin. What an awful way to go and if they did lose the passport in the temple in the dark, they wouldn't have known that it dropped. I wondered if they ever retrieved it since wouldn't they need it to get back to the U.S.?

The post above yours explains what happened. I've seen it elsewhere as well.

I haven't watched this show in a while (apparently, as how did it get to the 15th season already!!). But I'm really loving this 'cast'!! I was very sad for Zev and Justin this week. I know that it's a good 'lesson' to learn about keeping your travel docs safe . . . but I enjoyed watching them. I teach two students with Aspergers, and I see so much of them in Zev, so I was really rooting for him!
Like many others have said, Lance and his fiancee are my least favourite couple. I'm tired of seeing 'macho' men yelling at their girlfriends and vice versa.
I'm rooting for Meghan and Cheyne, I think they are very sweet to one another, and a good example for young folks watching the show.

[Tick-Tock]

Are they required to put their passports in the Amazing Race bag we see them carry? My passport lives in a money belt, where it doesn't just fall out, can't be left behind, etc. . . .

Anti-climatic episode tonight. Everyone was actually pretty nice to each other! I won't miss Lance and Keri. Next week's preview looks a little crazy. Canaan looks like he's about to bodily force Mika down the water slide.

The preview was disturbing.

[NotaGeek]

I think in that situation I would shove anyone down the slide -- $1,000,000.00 -- although I have no idea who would pick a partner for TAR that is afraid of heights, can't swim or wo'n't at least try to eat something disgusting...

True.

Yeah, that's got to be an effective motivational method.

I was glad to see the lawyers go; now if the poker players can get eliminated we'll have a good race.

I've been thinking that myself.

Well, maybe, but I would hope that I wouldn't have to until the end of the race. Who would want to finish a race with someone who now hates you?

I thought for sure that when Lance and Keri reached the pit-stop it would be a non-elimination leg. It was a pleasant surprise that it wasn't! I do have to give them credit that they handled their inevitable loss with more humor and grace than I expected them to.

I am finding that I like Cheyne and Meghan more and more. I find myself cheering for them, the Globetrotter guys, and Gary and Matt the most. I like Sam and Dan, but now that they've formed an alliance with the Poker Player girls their shine has diminished a bit for me.

I'm with you Beth. And I also am liking Erika and Brian a little more as well. I actually appreciated her thoughts last night about expectations of Miss America's and her admission that sometimes her claws do come out.

The brothers I've never warmed to though. Not sure why, but I guess it is their association with the poker gals pretty much from the get-go.

I said that exact same thing, Michael. If you're going to go on a show like Amazing Race or Survivor, you'd better do it knowing that you're going to have to potentially jump from high places, swim, and eat something disgusting.

If you aren't willing to do any of those three things, then don't go on the show. And most certainly don't pick a partner who won't do one of them!

I'd toss her down the slide, too. It's for a million dollars and it's a water slide!! It's not like it's something dangerous.
