Panda, I was thinking the same thing! I feel like my son will be like that with me--cuz we are so close now. So we'll see if that continues on. (He's not even into double digits yet!)

Does the cameraman takes a picture of the car license plate or driver's id?

Is there a Dallas interview yet?? I want to see if he is still kicking himself. I hope not. What an awesome mom he has.

I hate to say it but I wouldn't have been so calm if Dylan told me he lost the passports, esp at this age with my hormones raging

I looked and haven't found it Pamy. But I'm such a sap that I actually teared up last night when they were eliminated. It's pathetic that I only have one team I can POSSIBLY root for in the final. Gah!

Though I would like to see Tina and Ken win it, sorry...but for some reason I do not have much love for Starr and Nick, I honestly think it will be kinda funny to see the frat boys win it.

I'm bummed about the passport thing too but at least they had an awesome experience and maybe even a love match will come out of this.

There is NO WAY I could have faulted my son for that kind of mishap...poop happens. I'd concentrate on the great run they had...it's only money after all. I hope all is well in their world and that they got over the loss. This might have been the leg that did them in regardless of lossing their passports and money...that's the way I'd look at it.

I kept waiting for the cab driver to show up/track them down...sigh.

Was this the first time Phil walked off the matt to greet the last team? I don't recall him doing this before. It seemed that Phil liked mom and son.

I'll miss them, since I was rooting for them. I guess Star and Nick are who I want to see win the money.

Phil came to the field where the girls were trying to unroll the hay barrels in one of the seasons...worst luck ever for those girls.

Sorry to see that Toni and Dallas are gone. One mental error and there goes the race!

One thing I found interesting...none of the leaving times were shown this time...and all the teams seemed pretty bunched up at the start. Nick and Starr regained the lead very quickly, which is strange considering what a poor leg they had the week before. The only team who seemed significantly behind (and that was subjective) was Dandrew.

I don't understand why, if Mom had been keeping the passports and money she decided to give them to him at this late date in the race? Did I miss something? I was running in and out of the room, doing stuff for the holidays.

Second, I think it would be absolutely hysterical if my some bizarre Amazing Race Gods that Andrew and Dan somehow won. It would have to be some bizarre twist of fate but I would be ROFLMAO that the people who had the worst time racing could somehow pull it together and win the final leg.

i am not sure why, but all of them gave the person who stayed behind their money and passports.

Since they were going to be split up and not knowing what the task may end up being, I think they gave the money to the team mate that had to actually complete the task in case they needed it. The team mates left behind were there to wait only. I think the same holds true for the passports. They were each travelling with their own passports...just in case.

That's my take on it.

I loved this team, I was teary to.

It's very sad that Dallas and Toni were eliminated. She is certainly an awesome Mom. The frat boys had help with the Lenin statues, or they would have been further behind. Also, their makeup dance was way too easy; just a blip..or at it seem that way on the show. It could have been the editing.

I'll be rooting for Nick & Starr to win.

I was so upset when Dallas left the pack in the cab. Because I have done the same thing. Now I always check before closing the cab door. They were so positive I wanted them to win.

Have any of the teams been doing post-Philimination interviews? I'd like to know how/when they got their passports back and why didn't Phil meet them at the mat? It didn't appear they were that far behind, it wasn't even dark yet.

I'm thinking that Phil needed to catch a flight out ahead of the crowd..

In TAR5, Phil went back to the Roadblock to eliminate Lance/Marshall when Marshall quit with a knee injury.

As Roxip mentioned, in TAR6, Phil also went back to the Roadblock to eliminate Lena/Kristy when Lena couldn't find the clue in the hay bales after many hours.

Add both of those reasons to the fact that Dallas and Mom had no money so to make them beg on the street any more after all of the other teams had already checked in would have been very hard to watch, harder for them to do and an even more cruel blow at the finish mat. Why put them through that when there was no need.

In season 1 and whatever that other season was where the guys were in Hawaii, they could just give them a different envelope and let them know they were out of the race. It lessens the humiliation for the team so far behind and it also saves money. I honestly didn't care if the Guidos were humiliated but still....

I think Phil, like Jeff Probst, honestly likes some teams better than others. He's human and it's a natural human trait. It also was feasible within the confines of the show for him to go meet Dallas and Mom and Lena/Kristy during their seasons and I also think he had great respect for both teams. Unfortunately, I do not remember Lance/Marshall so I cannot comment on them.

Phil is not all that shy about subtly but pointedly letting people know what he thinks of them. You can see his obvious disdain for some (Jonathan?) and his face just light up when he sees others arrive at the mat.

I agree with Dipo, it would be hysterical if Andrew and Dan won. LOL

Nick & Starr are nice, attractive people with a lot going for them but they not interesting to watch. IMO When I watched the show I was more interested to see how the frat boys and Ken & Tina were doing and who would mess up and still manage to get to the mat.

Dallas and his mother played hard and I'm sure they made many wonderful memories doing TAR. They got to experience what some of us can only dream about. They were a great team and should be proud of themselves.

When I travel, I always wear my passport around my waist or neck. I just don't want to take a chance on losing it.

Just plain heartbreaking! But they BOTH took their loss so gracefully, no blaming or anger. I so wanted them to win!

Exactly, Puzzled. If you are playing for a million dollars, and everything depends on your money and your passports, you WEAR the money and the passports. In Moscow, you would probably want to wear them under your clothing.
