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.

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

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!"

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
We were talking about this at home, and decided that we could both see how Robin would get annoying under those circumstances. But Eli is just mean, and that's unforgivable. There's an air of passive-aggressiveness and entitlement about him that's just plain off-putting.
Still looking at a Kevin, Jen, Brothers V. finale, but Restaurant Wars is next, and if a contender's going to go down, it'll happen there.
