I haven't posted here in FOREVER! But when I thought about coming online to say something about TAM this was the first place I thought of!

AAAAARRRGHH!! I am so angry that Toni and Dallas are out!! *sobs* Seriously, I am almost still in shock or denial or something because that is just so wrong.

I mean...I have been a Nick/Starr fan since the beginning, but Toni/Dallas were always my second favs and I certainly wouldn't have begrudged them winning (even over Nick/Starr). THIS IS JUST SO UNFAIR!!!

I hate Dandrew! How in the HECK did they get in the top three?!? GAH! I just can't even stand it, I can't believe one little mistake messed up such an awesome team. It's so bitter!!

As to what you guys were saying about Phil. It's kind of funny because I was thinking along the same lines when I was watching tonights epi. When he was telling Ken/Tina that they were the third team, my immediate thought was "I would love to know what Phil is thinking right now." That has never occured to me before, but right then it did. I mean he must have his own personal favorites. I couldn't help but imagine that he was disappointed when he realized Dallas/Toni were out.

They were such a much beloved team by everyone. I like Starr and all I can say is that I hope we aren't wrong. They seem like good people (her and Nick) but all I can say is you gotta be one awesome chick to get Dallas. That man is so wonderful!! So yeah, Dallas/Starr love FTW!!!

I carry Xeroxes of the first two pages of my passport in each piece of my luggage and in my purse. AND hang onto the document itself for dear life!

I reduced my passport to credit card size, laminated it and carry that also but they lost their money too because he left the pouch.

I gather it is more the VISA that can ba a problem in Russia.. you have to have a passport but also have a sponsor for your Visa and only the sponsor can apply for the new Visa.

Of course if the pack was retrieved with the documents that wouldn't matter and they'd make it to the finish line to congratulate the winners.

We will see.

Raen, no announcemnt, just some heavy speculation that it was T/D for certain reasons, and unfortunately it was them :-(

Damn, I didn't mean to look before the West coast airing, but I came into TVCH for another reason and couldn't help myself.

Now I don't even want to watch. I so wanted Toni & Dallas to win this thing. Thank goodness they got at least 1 winning leg, but damn, they were running so well and so consistent the entire race, this just sucks!

OK, just to cheer us up a wee bit.. I DID have to laugh at Nick (and then Starr) when they got the clue to go to a place associated with the founder of the Cyrillic alphabet.. and Nick called it "the Acryilic Alphabet" and then Starr repeated that..

I'm pretty disappointed that it was Dallas and Toni that were eliminated. They were a good team and a wonderful Mom and Son and it was nice to watch them race.

Nick and Starr have pretty much dominated the race. They seem like very nice young people and would be well deserving of the win.

I've warmed up to Ken and Tina a bit since the start of the race. I still find it a bit irritating that she is constantly measuring him and his behavior but I guess in fairness he did cheat on her. I'm not sure if she will ever be able to forgive him regardless of what he does so their relationship may be a lost cause.

Finally I'll put in a feeble cheer for Dan and Andrew - a team that I didn't like at all for the early part of the race. They seem to have mellowed out a lot during the race and their egotistical displays at the beginning of the race are long history. They are treating each other quite well and they are taking the negatives pretty much in stride and showing some good humor about their failures. Plus they have added some much enjoyed comedy to the race. They may be a team that learns something positive from the experience.

Beautiful, Seamonkey!

On another note, I didn't lose a passport in a cab, but I dropped my wallet (with all my money, credit cards and i.d.) in a cab leaving us at a train station in Spain a few years back, only to discover the error 10 minutes after being in the train station and running back upstairs, finding the cab (the driver had, fortunately. gotten into the cab queue), and found the wallet on the floor in the rear of the taxi. I don't know if the cabbie was happier with the extra tip I gave him, or the huge hug and kiss I gave him!!!

BTW- the shot of the cameraman looking into the car and showing the pack was a re-creation apparently (the actual cab was a different color). I think it was plain KF- they've been going all out for about 3 weeks (in game time terms), but I'm surprised this is the first incident with passports in 13 seasons.

So, I wonder if any of the final 3 have ever been to Portland.

I would like to start an online campaign to teach the <93> two words: "THANK YOU". I never heard them say "thank you" once to a single soul who helped them throughout the entire race. Ugh

Then you have a <93> wife who doesn't even let her husband touch a clue let alone read one. Ugh Ugh Ugh! Leave her, Ken - Leave her now before she sucks the daylights out of you!

Dallas and his mom rock! Life will bring them so many more rewards for being the good people they are that money can never buy for some others no matter how much they win.

The Frat Boys not only said Thank you to the man on the submarine, but they were also the only ones who did NOT practically rip the clue from his hand.


***What is this world coming to when I'm defending the Frat boys??

Nooooooooo! Worst possible passport losers :-(. Did they spend time looking to see if the taxi was still about? Because it's just possible the taxi was looking for a fare nearby and he could have got it back. Unlikely, I know, but I'd have tried. Very sad to see them eliminated.

It will be a travesty if anyone but Nick and Starr win, because it means the entire show just depends on one segment of the race, so why bother with the other legs. Nick and Starr for the win!!

Too sad to see Toni and Dallas out. They are way cool.

If those bumbling frat boys win this show The Amazing Race better just close up forever as that would be a huge embarrassment to the show.

I hope Nick and Starr win.

It IS sad because on a season long basis, Dan and Andrew have a worse average placement than anyone left in the race, Toni/Dallas, Terence/Sarah, Kelly/Christy and Mark/Bill!

As an experienced traveler, I carry money, credit cards & passport in a pouch under my shirt or in a calf zippered pocket. Finally convinced DH to do so instead of leaving a bulging wallet in his rear pocket. Thieves look where people are patting themselves when they see a "be careful of pickpockets" sign.

Still amazed that the Frat boys are still in the race.

Two teams that were "almost" eliminated made it to top 3!
I know everyone dislikes Andrew/Dan but they sure did pull together this week and even did their extra challenge with stride.

I am hoping for a Nick/Starr win and it's so funny-one week I like Starr better, the next week I like Nick better. I think Nick has been the force on that team!

I was laughing about the acrylic letters too!

Too bad about Toni/Dallas-so heartbreaking!!!!! I was proud for both of them-I hope my son is close to me like that!

Nooooooooooo!! I am so sad. I know Dallas is still kicking himself! Wonder how he got a new passport.
