Two weeks ago on The Amazing Race the big story was the elimination of Zev and Justin after they came in first. The reason is because somewhere along the leg Zev's passport was lost and after they failed to find it they were eliminated. It was a shame because they ran a great leg partly because they befriended a cab driver who seemed to know the area really well. Online after the show we found out that Zev's passport had been turned into the US Embassy in Cambodia after Justin accidentally dropped in when taking out his head light in a dark temple while they were looking for the monkey challenge. Since Zev and Justin where eliminated this gave the poker players the chance to race another day. It was a lot of fun to watch the teams act like a monkey but it was amazing how many teams had no idea who was in the picture. Who doesn't know who Jackie Kennedy is? I mean some of these teams aren't that young and should have known right away who she was!
This week we learned more about what the racers didn't know. When told to find the world's tallest building (I knew where this was right away, but I am a major geek apparently) in the Persian Gulf some teams (Sam and Dan) went to the airport and asked for tickets to the Persian Gulf. Who didn't know this was a region not a country? Do they not teach geography in school anymore? Brain and Ericka helped of the brothers (and many other teams this leg) and told them that they were going to Dubai, U.A.E. I wish I could have been on this leg, it looked like a blast between the Burj Dubai, the desert, and Ski Dubai the teams all seemed to make great memories. In the end Lance and Keri seemed to be more lost or lost more often then Mika and Canaan and came in last. Lance and Keri argued a lot during their short time on TAR but they seem to truly understand each other and took the elimination better then I would have expected.
It will be fun next week to see Mika and Canaan have a blow up at the top of the water slide. In a race for a million bucks I will throw almost anyone down a water slide lets hope Canaan thinks the same, just for pure entertainment purposes. Comment away with your favorite parts of these episodes and who you are rooting for.

I was cracking up when that girl was like we are going 120 mph and it only feels like 60!
I also was amazed people didn't know right off the bat it was Jackie O.
I was sad to see Zev and Justin go. I am pulling for the father son team, and the married couple. I also like the people who came in first this week. She looks like a cat doesn't she?
