I could swear somebody in this season tried to sell a driver their crappy watch. He wouldn't take it though so maybe the issue never really applied.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Yeah, I remember that. I guess it's not breaking the rules unless the cab driver actually takes it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it's interesting that you can get stuff for free, but not trade your stuff. I guess it's so you aren't scamming people with your 'fancy' American stuff? If someone does you a favor, they know they aren't getting anything out of it.

I suspect it's so people don't try to get around the (presumed) "no bringing your own extra cash" rule by bringing jewelry instead. It evens the financial playing field.

Weird to see the different ways the two teams fucked it up. The brothers still had their travel docs, so they would have been just fine to check in and then figure out some way to get back and find their bags. The girls - for fuck's sake, that chick didn't even have her shoes on. And how would they know they wouldn't need money? (Actually, how'd they get to the party cab challenge anyway if their money was back at the dock?)

Oh, that makes even more sense, Jess.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm not happy that it was a non-elimination challenge. I would be happy to see either of the last two teams eliminated.

I'm with you sumi. I mean, what is the harm in making sure you have your things WITH you? Yes, you might have to spend time hailing a new cab, but to leave your passport behind? Major stooooooopido.
The cab situation is interesting in general. How do they know when they will need the same cab all day? And if they can't barter for cab fare when they are out of money, they are back to begging which I thought they tried to eliminate with the changes to non-eliminated teams not losing their cash.

It feels like there is more running out of money this season -- I wonder why, if it's true.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I can't tell from watching if they're just bad at managing the cash, or if there's something else going on. Now, this leg, obviously it took extra for them to make the trip back and such.
Are the penalties for misbehavior fixed in advance? Two hours for each seemed long, although if they'd only gotten a half hour for each they still would have come behind the next team.
Totally agree with Jessica about the bags. D. even said so at the time; the other partner should be running right now. But I guess the redheads made it clear they were trying to be circumspect about why they went back. I think it would have been possible for teams not to notice what happened, being focused on their own propeller.
And seriously, people, never leave your passport. Did none of you watch last season?
