DANG! I was so hoping that at least one of the teams would get all the way to Paris before they realized they got the flag wrong. NT

11/26/12 08:08 PM

me too! They are the most likeable team! NT

11/26/12 11:48 PM

When they were at the airport going to "France," weren't the teams told there were no flights until the next day?

11/26/12 07:48 AM

There was one flight a quicker one that had an hour transfer in Rome. They were hesitant to give the twins those tickets

11/26/12 10:43 AM

But that doesn't explain the Chippendales or the other team. Shouldn't the Goat Farmers have caught up if the flight was the next day? NT

11/26/12 12:45 PM

Also, how convenient was the mechanical difficulty on that completely empty 2nd flight out of Frankfurt? TAR paid $500,000 to avoid giving 2 mil.

11/26/12 07:51 AM

It sucked for Abbie and Ryan. NT

11/26/12 07:59 PM

I think that there was a flight right before that one that they missed NT

11/26/12 10:44 AM

Did Abi/Ryan buy two pairs of tickets? If so I don't recall that ever being allowed before. NT

11/25/12 09:03 PM

I think they just booked the resevations. That's why they couldnt re open the Dora because they weren't checked in NT

11/26/12 10:47 AM

Many teams in the past have booked more than one flight.

frustratedposter

11/28/12 08:52 PM

I believe it has happened before NT

tas

11/26/12 08:44 AM

I believe they did buy two tickets and my recollection is that was not allowed in the past. NT

11/26/12 06:14 AM

I don't think they actually bought two pair of tickets. I think they bought one pair and booked a back-up reservation. NT

11/26/12 06:38 AM

Obviously it is allowed or they wouldn't have done it. NT

11/26/12 06:23 AM

why did the chippendales help the annoying twins who were ordering around everyone at the start of the ep i would have u turned those bitches! NT

11/25/12 06:07 PM

bc theyre friends and part of their alliance :) NT

11/29/12 05:24 AM

Because they've been working with the twins and Lexi/Trey for most of the race. NT

11/26/12 01:39 AM

So rooting for the "Chippendales", they made the race so enjoyable. I wish I could navigate life the way they did this race. NT

11/25/12 06:25 PM

I agree, but I also think the twinnies do too with their ball of energy and zany humor. NT

11/29/12 05:25 AM

They really had fun at the organ grinder challenge NT

11/25/12 09:21 PM

I totally agree. They have made the Amazing Race so enjoyable to watch! I only watch for their segments! NT

11/25/12 08:30 PM

Abbie and Ryan were the strongest team. Getting rid of them improves everyone's position. It was impossible to U-Turn the twins because they

11/25/12 06:13 PM

Yah, I really really don't want the Twins to win. NT

11/25/12 08:29 PM

They helped themselves just as much as they helped the twins. And U turn a team who you know got the FF? NT

11/28/12 10:26 PM

I agree with you that it's a competition but its still a shitty thing what Abbie/Ryan had done. NT

11/29/12 05:27 AM

Also check out Ryan (Danz)'s twitter. He must be the most bitter TAR contestant of all time. NT

11/25/12 09:30 PM

I couldn't believe they were still whining about the Chippendales at the end...don't they get it's a game...it seemed

11/26/12 05:58 AM

A U-Turn is a U-Turn. They would've done the same to another team if they arrived on the mat first. NT

I like the Chippendales but I like Abby and Ryan also. Sad to see them go! NT

I love the Chippendales! But I also liked Abbie and Ryan. A series of bad luck... NT

11/25/12 09:02 PM

I really felt bad for them tonight NT

11/25/12 06:02 PM

Abbie and Ryan, remember sometimes you should learn to build relationships to advance in the game called life!!! NT

11/25/12 05:49 PM

I believe that was the strategy the 1st 3 teams agreed on at the start of this segment.

11/26/12 06:45 AM

I wondered about that. How is that allowed? If a team had already passed the U-turn spot shouldn't they be removed from consideration for the

11/25/12 06:01 PM

they leave them in consideration in case someone accidentally uturns someone ahead of them. As has happened. NT

tas

11/25/12 06:21 PM

It's great strategy for all 3 teams. The biggest reason R/A are in the back of the pack is mostly bad luck. They are still a strong team. NT

11/25/12 05:59 PM

ugh i hate muplite teams aligining its stupid espically this late in the race think of yourselves not other teams not helping

11/25/12 06:11 PM

U turning a strong team is great strategy. It gets them closer to the final leg and eliminating a strong team. NT

11/25/12 06:24 PM

Those terrible twins will end up winning NT

11/25/12 05:59 PM

I hate the twins. They need to stop getting these lucky breaks. Argh! NT

11/25/12 08:55 PM

Ugh. I'd hate to even think that. NT

No, that was so messy NT

It must be a narrower canal. They're making it look easy NT

I neither love or hate them. But they cracked me up last night. I didn't think they would ever shut up long enough to complete that fast forward. NT

the twins think they are super smart..WHY would anyone else u-turn someone FOR someone else? dumb. NT

11/25/12 05:17 PM

NO it was very smart. Having the second team u-turn the first team that had the u-turn is very smart bc it ensures that that team is the only one

11/20/12 10:01 AM

Thanks!! We were wondering about that too NT

11/20/12 03:24 PM

I thought they both were in the pool. On a different note Abbie and Ryan sure love bragging about themselves a lot. NT

11/20/12 11:59 AM

okay i thought the pool they were both in the water was this leg of the race and neither got to partcipate since it was closed when they got there

11/20/12 01:08 PM

I noticed that the Russian cabs weren't marked in any way,

frustratedposter

11/20/12 02:17 PM

I've been to Moscow and the unmarked cabs are 'black market'

11/22/12 10:07 AM

Whatever you do, always take your bags with you. NT

11/20/12 02:21 PM

yep hard lesson to learn that way :( the rockers also said they hadn't paid the cabbie left w/o getting paid they figured

11/20/12 02:23 PM

I wonder if the cabbie thought they weren't going to pay so he left with their bags to get something out of it. Probably just poor communication.

11/20/12 02:31 PM

i know i really liked their attitude they never yelled or blamed each other just went on with the race :) NT

11/20/12 02:34 PM

Thanks for posting that, Belle. It's a terrible way to lose out at a chance to win $1M. I feel bad for them. I hope whoever found his passport

11/20/12 11:13 AM

Interesting. Although both players did the swim challenge, so that's odd. NT

ITA. there were other inconsistancies too. I haven't read the rest of the posts so this might have been already said but....

ICAM! The inconsistencies are driving me bonkers this season. Good thing you don't have a Philiminated game to try to figure out too. hehe NT

11/23/12 12:29 PM

no kidding! i think i'll be up for doing it next season though. maybe. NT

11/23/12 06:24 PM

hot. ziggidy. dog. is it next season yet? NT

11/25/12 05:21 PM

Probably so they could get started on tracking it, before they could do nothing until next day. NT

11/19/12 01:05 PM

Sure, but then check them in and let them get started. What changed a few hours later when they let them check in? Nothing. NT

11/19/12 01:10 PM

Actually one thing did change... they were in last place then while they weren't earlier. Once they were in last place, then the non-elimination

11/19/12 01:20 PM

Why would the non-elimination rule override the passport rule? How could a proper check-in time be given? And how does the 4 hour penalty of the goat

11/19/12 01:47 PM

that's another thing... why weren't the goat farmers forced to wait out their 4 hours before they checked in? NT

11/20/12 03:04 PM

If the rockers were 100% going to be eliminated assessing the 4 hour penalty to begin at the beginning of the next leg would make no difference other

tas

11/20/12 03:20 PM

But if they had been forced to wait out that 4 hour penalty when they checked in, the rockers could have easily checked in

11/20/12 03:37 PM

Yep. Although I don't see why there's even a "passport rule" to begin with. A passport should have nothing to do with a pit stop. If a team can't

11/21/12 07:19 AM

11/21/12 02:28 PM

I agree. It looked like they were making up rules on the fly because they hadn't thought of this situation occurring and decided to do what they

11/19/12 07:29 PM

Granted, it's a conflict. And perhaps they did have to decide the conflict on the fly. The problem is if you hold to the passport rule only,

11/19/12 01:56 PM

in regards to that, they wouldn't actually be eliminating them. Phil would just be unable to check them in.

11/20/12 03:07 PM

I guess that's technically possible, although messy to have teams checking in to the new pit stop before a team has checked into the old pit stop.

11/21/12 07:12 AM

You're right. There probably wasn't a better solution. But IF I were in charge, I would just not let them check in without the passports. And then

11/19/12 02:08 PM

What you say is what they should have done. The passport rule should trump all other rules because you need one to travel around the world. NT

11/19/12 07:31 PM

But let that be the penalty - their inability to travel which drops them to last place and thus elimination. Makes no sense to need a passport just

11/21/12 07:24 AM

Technically, as a non-resident, you need to be able to produce a passport

frustratedposter

That is how I understood the rule also. NT

very confused the rockers said at the end one had his passport the other didn't does that mean one left his in the cab and the other didn't? NT

11/19/12 07:50 AM

Probably. Maybe one of them carried his passport in his pocket & the other carried his passport in his backpack. NT

11/19/12 09:12 AM

Yes. That's why earlier one asked the other "do you have your passport?". Presumably the one asking the Q had his. NT

11/19/12 09:12 AM

i had thought originally they both lost theirs so last night i was thinking only one was turned in lol thanks for the clarification how did they

11/19/12 09:15 AM

We wondered the same thing. I wouldn't think it would be much of a problem, considering once they were eliminated from competition, they'd have

11/19/12 09:30 AM

11/19/12 09:25 AM

They gave it a valiant effort, both in begging for money and trying to recover their passports (or get new ones issued).

11/19/12 07:02 AM

Well, sort of. They actually had the WORST taxi ever - one that stole their bags. You could argue that they should have kept

11/19/12 09:22 AM

By bad taxi, I mean one that had no clue where he was going, which puts no blame on a team at all, unlike this, where there is some.

11/19/12 09:38 AM

Yes, different types of "bad" but still really bad nonetheless. Even if there was just simple miscommunication (which is often the problem when

11/19/12 09:49 AM

Did this happen on another season?

11/19/12 09:26 AM

I was thinking the same thing when I wrote that. I also remember a season where someone went off to buy shoes, but I'm not sure that was the same

Past seasons on non-elimination rounds they had to turn over all their money

Yes your right. thats what it was a non-elimination round. NT

Just read a different article that said Toni & Dallas and Zev & Justin were the ones that lost their passports in previous seasons. NT

Thats what I was wondering

11/19/12 09:02 AM

Hard to say for sure whether it was intentional theft or just incompetence. They usually throw backbacks in the trunk, and a cabbie could go days

As much as I was rooting for the long hair team, they deserve to leave, they have been too laid back.

Probably so. And with the bad leg, they weren't likely to win anyway. But it sucks because it looked like a sure elimination of one of the 2 teams
