Ha! OK first off: How did Dallas and Toni get home??? Did they get their passports back? New ones from the embassy? Inquiring minds want to know.

Secondly, I'm really rooting for Dandrew now b/c that speed bump was specifically designed for them to make fools out of themselves (particularly the unagile one) and they took it in stride. If they win they will be the suckiest team to miraculously win one leg and the race. It would be incredible.
Is the finale next week?

According to some sites they had to apply for new passports, a process that took several days, so even if they hadn't lost their money they'd have been unable to leave the country with the rest of the teams.

As for me I wonder the same thing that saucy did - why didn't Dallas make a harder effort to catch the cab? Traffic being what it was he might have been able to do so. I'm really disheartened because that was the team I was rooting for.

The finale is next week.

While nothing is impossible it seems unlikely the frat boys could win this thing given how ridiculously bad they are at the race. Then again, the fact they have survived this long in spite of themselves says something I suppose. Sure seems like the only competition Nick and Starr had, such as it was, has taken themselves out of the race. I thought he might chase the cab as well as there was one scene where it looked like he might try. Of course no way to tell how long it was from the the time he left the cab and the time he realized they were lost. Could have been immediate and that was the way it appeared to be edited but could just as easily have been much longer.

My sense was that Dallas just got paralyzed. By the time he got to his mom, it was probably too late. If I had been the mom, I would have done all I could do to find the cab. We didn't get to see the conversations they had and what they attepted to do to get the stuff back.
