sucks for Toni and Dallas - I liked them.

That sucks never a non elimination leg in the right place, idiots like the frat boys stay and good people go home.

Part of the game, luck -- good and bad, is a big part of the Race.

I don't think they ever had a non elimination just before the last leg. I liked Toni and Dallas (I have a soft spot for any team run by a parent\child combo and they seemed to be the best at it so far). As for the frat boys, they are bumbling but their being there doesn't bug me, it is kind of interesting watching them plod on through. The only team I have ever disliked in any race was the family edition, mom and daughters (no soft spot for them) from Florida--they were the worst.

It would have been cool to switch it up and have four teams racing to the end but will all the clue boxes they get routed to during this leg it probably would have been an editing nightmare. An hour is still just an hour.

Yeah, glad they won...they deserved it, were one of the best teams in AR history really, although a lot of that could have been because the rest of the field was so bad

I seriously think those frat guys underestimate how cool they were on the race and how much their frat brothers will appreciate what they did

swd1974 · December 8th, 2008, 08:31 AM

Toni and Dallas - they were stuck in Moscow - with no passport, couldn't leave the country. The passport was turned into the US Embassy the next day, so they could not get back in time.

Turns out part of the problem was that the sound man had to replace the battery in Dallas's fanny pack, so he had taken it off to allow him to do so.

Also - Starr and Dallas are dating now...

That explains it.

Funny, I told my wife jokingly "Now they cant leave the country" then i laughed and said I am sure the show has people who can track that down quickly and not allow a passport to be lost in a cab. Guess they dont!

Went to lunch today at Chipolte in the Tempe Market Place and the curly haired Frat Brother (Andrew?) was in line right behind me. Dude put on a little weight since being on the show.
