I KNOW!!! I could not believe it. I am going to hope it was due to the adrenaline rush of the race and the small size of the picture. Good grief!!

I don't watch the show, but what are you talking about?

Oh man, what a tough way to go out, especially after being team #1.

They were shown a picture of Jacquie O during her visit to Cambodia and told to find the room named after her in a hotel. Most of the teams completely mis-identified her.

And what a crappy way for Zev and Justin to be eliminated!!

Ok, what happened?! The week I decide to actually watch this show, 60 Minutes runs over time (probably because of football), and it only caught the first 15 minutes of TAR!

However, I did enjoy this little quote: "We're going to 'Sean Penn', Cambodia"

My biggest complaint about this show is that you never know when it's going to be on due to football. As a result, I DVR both time slots. I watch Desperate Housewives at 9 so AR will have to be watched tonight or tomorrow night.

This is why we're a team. My wife and I were horrified. My eyes were rolling really hard with Canaan so sure that it was Queen Elizabeth. Yes, Her Majesty often stands up in a moving convertable.

In their defense, though, the picture they were looking at seemed small. Zev and Justin identified her (as Mrs. Onassis, no less) but they didn't seem sure because the picture was small.

I do that too. BUT, they've changed CSI to 9 and have some lame medical show on now in the 8 slot. I didn't know that so my DVR cut out at 8.

I think I can watch on CBS.com though. Today should be a slow day at work, so I'll do that (with the volume down low

)

First, I have my DVR set to record a full extra hour. This has saved me multiple times in the past. And, yes, srmom, cbs.com has the full episodes available to view.

This link fills in the story of where/how the passport was lost, and how they were able to later recover it. So sad. I was really hoping for a top three finish for them. Warning, though. You have to fight through about a minute of Garrett and Jessica at the beginning of that clip before it gets to Zev and Justin. Ugh.

Finally, Meathead has got to go. What the heck does his fiance see in him?

(waves hi to Nittany. Great to see you back on the boards, even if it is just this thread)

I hated seeing Zev and Justin eliminated. Justin seemed like such a patient, cool guy who really liked having Zev for his friend.

I agree - how ignorant can a person be? Very, it would seem.

And I was alternatively LMAO off and gobbsmacked about the "it's the Queen" comment. (presumably they meant Queen Elizabeth II, although they never really specified, so who really knows. Maybe they thought it was "Queen" Latifah

).

A million bucks is a million bucks!

But seriously, though, that was kind of mean. But then again, I love water slides (even big a$$ scary ones), so they wouldn't have been a problem for me.

Yeeeah, big red flag. Run, honey. (Although she annoys me too -- I'm MORTALLY afraid of heights and I've done that particular water slide with little problem. Don't go on TAR if you're that afraid of something.)
