I mean, if he had the time to shoot the fanny pack before the taxi drove off, he could at least have the courtesy to take it with him and give to Toni/Dallas
at the pit stop right? I mean, the money doesn't matter but there were important documentation in there (i.e. Passports) and instead of just standing there
shooting he could have done something. They could have not given the fanny pack to T/D, but just leaving the fanny pack containing the passports in the taxi
when they knew the taxi was going to drive off was just cruel.

Shouldn't the cameraman have done something?

I agree he took his role too seriously I think they are stuck in Russia until they find their passports so they're dead really. Seriously this cameraman
didn't care about them and as you said this was such an important document which would be needed to get back to their American home.

And it was the sound guy who made him take his pack off in the first place. Why couldn't the show try to sabotage Nick & Starr?

Guys, I'm 95% sure that the fanny pack shot was actually a re-enactment.

I'm thinking:
1) Cameramen and soundmen all have to sign a document swearing they will not get involved with the game in any way shape or form 2) The shot of the bag in the floor of the taxi was shot at a later time for television drama purposes 3) Both |

Toni & Dallas showed no concern about their lack of passports at all, only their lack of money. Probably one film crew person followed Dallas while he
left the cab, and the other stayed behind and grabbed the pack.

Wait a minute... if T/D got eliminated, how'd they get to elimination station? You can't replace a passport that fast... so they must have gotten back
their passports somehow, right?

I think it is still possible for Toni & Dallas to be able to get back to the US for the finish line, if this latest pit stop is a 36-hour one. With that
long amount of time, getting a new passport shouldn't be a problem.
And I think I saw racers in red in the eliminated teams line-up in the preview. Could be Toni/Dallas though. |

Jeezus - they're not stuck in Russia until the find their passports! The United States has these neat little things called Embassies, that have some very
nice people working in what's called "Consular Affairs". The Embassies' Consular sections are set up to replace lost passports pretty much
on the spot.

I hope they fire the crewmen who did this once they find out that their ratings start to drop with these 2 gone.
