Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

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

maybe all teams show their passports to the producers after they check in?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

TC: Jesus - is the Alexia thing the most blatant product placement yet or what? I'd feel better if I hadn't tried a bag of one kind and thought they tasted like crap. Great texture; awful taste. Granted, I tried one of the ones none of the chefs picked - the cheese ones - because I'm a sucker for a halfway decent cheesy junk food. Guess I should give the onion ones a try?

Because books.

I'll say this: Robin does seem like she might be annoying after a while, but the little boys' bullying club is atrocious.

Wow, that elimination was a surprise. And doesn't bode well for Robin's treatment.

Ash was pretty funny, though, when he said in the stew room, "I forgot FLAVOR!"
