Well it will be interesting to find out if Zev and Justin ever recovered the original passport  :(

looks like VN 817 to me  :tup:

It also says the date they purchased the tickets:  24JUL09  (so the flight was on the 25th)

Darn...poor Zevy and Justin.  Man, that sucks.  At least they got his passport back.

That has to be REALLY BAD LUCK and I feel really sorry for them and I hope they make it to All-Stars 2
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

On the passport: And it was all avoidable. Why keep anything other than clues, money, or travel documents in the fanny pack?

Just like incomplete clue reading.  This week, Cannan and Mika could have re-read the clue before they got to the FCC and and asked the question with "assignment" not "task" the first time. Future Racers need to learn the balance between fraticness and taking a moment to review and doublecheck their clues -- it would save them more time in the long run.

Judging by the reaction of Garrett & Jessica, Marcy & Ron and Brian & Ericka, Zev & Justin were one of the more popular teams among the racers.

Too bad the first teams to the airport did not manage to catch
Thai Airways TG 687 leaving at 8:50 pm and arriving at 10:15 pm in Bangkok
or
Lufthansa LH 773  leaving at 9:10 pm and arriving BKK at 10:40 pm
From Bangkok they could take
Bangkok Airways PG 931 leaving at 7:40 am and arriving at 8:50 am in Phnom Penh

That would be a nice lead over the 1:15 pm arrivals they got.

I was wondering why no one went to explore other options. They had around 12-18 hours to search for other flights. Or maybe they were required to go direct? :duno:

Two things:

1. WHERE THE HELL IS THE PREVIOUSLY ON THE AMAZING RACE MUSIC. THE NEW INTRO IS CRAP.
2. Did Cheyne really think that he and Megan would be first when both the Globetrotters OBVIOUSLY
landed on the mat first? Has he ever watched the Amazing Race before?

The exit interviews should be telling. Also there was a additional task to the roablock that I didn't see, the racer doing the RB was to steal 3 items from the circus audience as well.

From what I understand Justin and Zev are not sure they actually won the motorcycles or if TAR/TPTB might give them to Dan and Sam.

It was strange when the lady at the Vietnam Airways counter said they were the only airline flying to Sean Penn, Cambodia.  Probably a travel restriction that we were not party to.

Sam and Dan - It was a lucky first-place finish for them, but they did great this entire leg, I must say. Other than the fact that they lied about not having found the clue at the hotel. That wasn't really nice, neither was it necessary.

Flight Time and Big Easy - Still dominating the race, huh.

Brian and Ericka - I was amazed when they completed the Detour seconds after obtaining the piece of fabric from the store owner. I was like, "huh????" but they did good this leg, worked together really well. They're climbing up the ladder!

Gary and Matt - They're still working well together and still doing very well. Which surprises me, I really thought prior to the race that they'd be a bickering duo.

Meghan and Cheyne - I really love how they helped Brian and Ericka by giving them directions to the shop. That was sweet and so contrasting to Sam and Dan's lying. And they're still so loving! Awww.

Lance and Keri - LOL at Phil's expression when Lance did that unncessary action at the pit-stop. You know, I really can't stand how Lance just has to flex his muscles at every opportunity.

Mika and Canaan - Still at the back of the pack heh. But they're so cute, I can't help just loving them.

Maria and Tiffany - They haven't exactly been doing extremely well so far, huh. But I love their support for each other, still really like them. And they're indeed lucky to have avoided elimination once again.

Zev and Justin - What else can I say, but it really sucks to go out this way. They had a truly fantastic leg, they came in first, and this had to happen. Guess it's kinda about "more haste, less speed". Gosh I love these guys, it was sad to see them go. I almost tear-ed when Justin said it was his fault but Zev said that it wasn't. Well, at least I think that these guys will go a long way in their friendship. :)

Hmm, the three all-male teams left have been dominating the race, coming in first for the past three legs. Come on, let another team shine! Brian and Ericka for a win!
TAR 26: Hayley and Blair` Mike and Rochelle` Jelani and Jenny`

I predict this happens:
Leg 5:
Meghan & Cheyne are Top 3
Herb & Nate are ahead
Maria & Tiffany/Mika & Canaan barely survive, arriving after the other

Leg 6:
Sam & Dan/Herb & Nate arrive at the mat 2nd/3rd (as they've done so in Legs 2 & 4 :funny:), behind some random team (Gary & Matt in Leg 2, Zev & Justin in Leg 4 - I suggest Brian & Ericka :lol:)
Meghan & Cheyne are 4th/5th
Maria & Tiffany/Mika & Canaan are behind again, with Mika & Canaan eliminated (assuming Lance & Keri were eliminated last leg - I checked, this is the spoiler thread :funny:)

And it's funny that even though there were more placing shuffles in this season than TAR 13 & TAR 14, the finishing order is just as predictable. :funny:

Oh, Zev and Justin. From 8th to 1st and then last... :'( After watching Elimination Station, they got hit with REALLY bad luck. Shame too, they were a "disability" team that the producers actually handled very nicely.

Not much to say about last night's episode. It was in a similar style as HCMC. I loled at MIka/Canaan for saying "task" instead of "assignment" and calling Kennedy Queen Elizabeth.

Not too keen about the airport drama. Yes, we know all of them are going to make it on the same flight; you can't trick us. For that, it pulls the episode down to 8/10. (A still pretty solid episode though.)
