Dånooky:
The difference in that case is that Mexican consulates can give new passports pretty fast (in this case fast enough to allow them to stay in the race) I'm not sure how the US Embassies work but I wouldn't think they'd give a new passport so fast, specially in Russia. Any American citizen care to enlighten us about this?
BTW, Toni & Dallas chose to keep racing without their passports (they got eliminated mostly because they were too far behind). In the case of Zev & Justin, I think they were eliminated because it would've taken a lot of time to issue a new one.

As far as I know, all countries can issue emergency passports to their citizens.
And remember!! Zev and Justin went to the consulate all sad and gloomy to... oh!! someone had find it and gave it back to the office so... in that case, they were in better condition than the mexicans because they didn't need a new one.
Oh, and BTW, it happened in Venezuela not Colombia... just making it clear.

Dallas lost the passport on a Friday....I think Justin lost the passport on a Sat. The Consulate in Moscow was open on Sat and Dallas got it back. The flight the teams took left Moscow at 5 am....well before the Consulate opened. Toni/Dallas made it out of Moscow that day.....they were just too late arriving in Portland to make the finish line.
I think Justin and Zev had to wait till Monday for the Consulate to open....Like Dallas.....when they got there, so was the passport.

WOW... I didn't know all that.
I guess my point is, they're letting the mexicans play without rules.
They let the brothers separate even though is against the rules.
They let the brothers play without their passports... against the rules.
The let the brothers check-in without their luggage, even though it's against the RULES... just this past weekend, Phil didn't let Chad and Stephanie do it because they didn't had their backpacks nor paid their cabbie so... I just don't like that.

Is this a rehash of the original poll Discovery did? ???
If so, why repost it now?
