'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know it was lost-lost when no camera dude caught it lying on a seat or sidewalk.

What a cruel way to go though -- in first, legitimately proud of themselves for playing well -- and then to get canned this way.

Now I'm wondering what happened -- did they eventually find the passport? Did they have to hang out in Phnom Penh for a couple days until it was replaced?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You know it was lost-lost when no camera dude caught it lying on a seat or sidewalk.

Yep. Though I was hoping it had fallen under the seat in the cab or something where a cameraman might not be able to see.

My guess is CBS dropped them at the embassy with a PA to get a temp passport issued and then whisked them off to the sequestration hotel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I was really bummed that it wasn't just in the cab!

Art Crawl!!!

Man, that really sucked.

(Just watched on Hulu - wasn't home to make up for the 40 minute football delay!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

TAR: So terrible!

I was so hopeful that it would be in the cab because they were lucky enough to be in the same cab all day. But I really do feel bad for them because they did have a great run.

But, yo, hold on to your passports, people.

I'm sure that "travel documents" includes any and all visas as well as passports.

TAR:

Some interesting information surfaced in two post-Amazing Race 15 interviews with the tragically eliminated Zev and Justin: they only had 26 minutes to find their lost passports; Phil told them they won motorcycles for coming in first, motorcycles Sam and Dan will presumably receive; and the two went to therapy pre-season to learn how to be more effective.
