So why are Zev & Justin begging in the airport if they haven't lost their passports yet? That's what I want to know. :duno:

Aren't they trying to beg that the lady will give up her tickets, so they can get on an earlier flight  :duno:

That was my thought as well.

adding this from the CBS webpage

Hmm..."one team monkeys around and breaks a cardinal rule". Could it be that the team lost their passport during the monkey task? And could one team refer to Zev & Justin only doing the monkey task, making it a possible Detour? (I don't read much of the spoilers by the way, so I might be wrong)
It looks like the Roadblock to me? We see Herb,Canaan,Ericka,Dan,Zev with the monkey mask, the others I'm not sure. Plus there are plenty on monkeys in Phnom Penh.

WHILE SEARCHING FOR ROYALTY IN CAMBODIA, TEAMS CONFUSE A FIRST LADY FOR A QUEEN AND A MIMICKING MONKEY STOPS ONE TEAM DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 15," SUNDAY, OCT. 11 ON CBS 
"Sean Penn Cambodia Here We Come (Cambodia)" - Teams scramble to spot royalty in the jam-packed streets of Cambodia and one Team monkeys around and breaks the Race's cardinal rule by losing their passport
 

If they are imitating monkeys during that task, they are probably at a location where monkeys are kept and wandering about. Could it be that Zev and Justin tossed their packs conveniently out of the way and while everyone's attention is on Zev and Justin doing the task, one of the monkeys breaks into their fanny pack and takes the passports? It's a kind of off the wall theory, but I'm pretty sure that monkeys at a tourist site like that have seen enough tourists with backpacks to learn how to operate zippers. It would fit the wording in the CBS statement too.

Watching the CBS ad during football last night, Phil's phrase to Zev & Justin at the mat seemed odd.  It was something like ... I cannot let you continue until you find your passports.  Will they get to hold their spot if they find the passport?  That could explain the happy looking confessional.

I like the idea of monkeys stealing the passports.  That would be quite unique.

I doubt any of the Racers would be keeping their passports in their backpacks; that would be an open invitation to disasrer whether there were monkeys or not.  The fanny pack, however, is something I could see even monkeys might walk off with.

Thanks to Puddin's picture matching skills we know that this shot was taken here at Wat Toul Tom Pong between 3:45 and 4:06 pm (assumes July 25th).

Chateau...don't know if jenimama's times are 100% accurate, but she placed them already at the pitstop between 3 and 330.

Didn't we find exif data on this shot saying 4:25 pm?



The shadow times agree with 4:25 pretty well.  So  :duno:

Although GE/GM does a decent job with Phnom Penh, I have some interactive maps for Peach whenever she wants to get that started.

Lol you can see his monkey mask.

There are a few shots where they are wearing them. Maybe they have to bring them to fill too?

peach, obviously jennimama's cameras time was not set for Cambodia time


The exif data on the pics of the Trotters arrival and starting their run is listed at 7/25 1:26PM

The exif data on the shot up at who we are presuming is Zev and Justin shows 7/25 1:19PM.

The source is from California.... :lol:

I just reviewed the calculations and images and cosine corrections etc.

That gives me a readjustment to make 4:10 to 4:25 pm for this shot. 

Maybe I'm an hour off?  I just can't get jenimama's time of 3:00 to 3:30 pm to make low enough shadows.  There's about a 10 degree difference in solar elevation from 3:30 to 4:10 pm.

I'm going to make some guesses here

teams equalized at the airport
teams arrive in Phnom Penh
first task, go to the Foreign Correspondents Club and get the newspaper/clue
Find the Queen? Not at the Kings Royal Palace though, we know at least one team went there by accident, perhaps they were looking for Raffles Hotel Le Royal? we see at least 1 team (Mika and Canaan) being handed a clue there.
**While searching for royalty in Cambodia, teams confuse a first lady for a queen
**Teams scramble to spot royalty in the jam-packed streets of Cambodia
Detours are next?
We hear that some teams are spotted at the Russian Market around 2:30 and from the promo we see Cheyne and Meghan.The Blogger recalls spotting these teams ..5 pairs
Canaan Smith and Mika Combs (Rambo guy)
Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle
Gary and Matt Tomljenovich
Meghan Rickey and Cheyne Whitney
A Male/Male team, one was shorter so I assume Dan & Sam
I think from the photo it looks like Lance and Keri choose this task as well leaving ..
Herb and Nate
Brian and Ericka
Zev and Justin unaccounted for so perhaps they took the other detour option? and it was faster seeing as these are the first 3 teams witnessed arriving at the pitstop
Roadblockers per screencaps/ and eye witness evidence
Herb
Ericka
Zev
Canaan
Dan
Tiffany?
Meghan/Cheyne unknown
Lance/Keri unknown

Zev and Justin lose their passports and cannot check in, they go back to retrieve them and whether they recover them or not this now puts them in last place

and yeah, 1 team will be eliminated

there is no video captured as to where Zev and Justine lost the passport (only one is missing), unlike Toni and Dallas' situation, so sad for them!  :'(

I have double-checked the flight information provided in this episode. The earlier VN670 that I had listed for July 24 or 25 apparently did not exist. Plus with Chateau's work, the date of July 25 is more likely for SGH to PNH. Other than VN670, the original times for VN817 (Dep. 1225 arr. 1315) is accurate and VN840 and VN314 are not applicable because every team finally got on VN817.
