Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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!)

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

I still don't get why they had to find them before the last arrival (and not before they would have to leave for the next leg).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, that puzzled me. It's like losing your money - it doesn't necessarily impact you until you hit a challenge where it does.
