Looks gorgeous...casitas around a pool in Vietnam.
Garrett & Jessica hate being the 1st ones there...Garrett keeps saying it sucks to be there. I wonder why Lisa & Eric aren't there? They don't have any real guesses who will be next because they didn't expect to be eliminated so fast. Jessica is already going stir crazy. Garrett was planning on proposing to her at the end mat...so to lift her spirits he decides to ask her now. She was surprised (and said yes)...they have been together for 7 years. Her ring is a gorgeous square cut diamond.

You're welcome Mango
The other teams wonder why another team hasn't shown up yet...it's been at least 48 hours past when they thought the next team should have shown up. They are thinking it's either a passport issue or a serious injury.
They then switch to show Zev & Justin heading to the embassy. Turns out it was turned in to the embassy...someone found it at the monkey place. They had misread the clue and went into a temple...it was dark & Justin pulled out his headlight to see...he figures that the passport fell out when he did that.
Zev & Garrett call the others on the phone...tell them that they had come in first but Lost their passport.
The others tell them they will be welcomed with open arms & lots of cocktails.

Lance & Keri arrive before Zev & Justin...they are all surprised to see "Boston" They are all happy to have Lance & Keri join the group. They get to race in vietnamese boats (baskets) boys against the girls!
Hmmm whats up with Zev and Justin still not being there? I thought for sure this weeks would have a little interview with them. Hope something didn't happen to them.

Yea... interesting, that. I thought they had found the missing passport. So what would have stopped them from leaving? Unless the timeframe wasn't clear and they hadn't found the PP until after the next leg had been decided?

Basket races - guys against the girls (all 3 guys in one boat racing for a time then the 3 gals in a boat)...the girls have better teamwork & beat the guys by about 9 seconds! the guys make excuses that the girls got to watch them 1st & that the boys weigh more!
They are having cocktails when Zev & Justin (finally) show up! They all go out to experience the Vietnamese nightlife & Zev decides to try a chicken's foot!
Mika & Canaan arrive the next day...they start explaining about Mika's fear of heights & water...and Canaan explains how he almost pushed her down the slide. I think Canaan said they were at the top of the slide for 45 minutes!

They are hanging around playing cards and having cocktails...when the phone rings & Maria & Tiffany are on the line. All of the other teams trash talk them - say they are the least favorite team, they didn't connect with anyone. The pokers explain what happened and the others said it sounded like a story (because of the lies that they told at the beginning of the race). The Pokers tell them, they'll see everyone at end city and the rest of the teams are happy that they won't be joining them.
The elimination station teams head off to play soccer with some local kids. When the "kids" show up, it turns out to be not kids but players from the Vietnamese National Team...

I've never been a fan of the poker girls, but I have to say I felt really bad for Maria. She looked so sad, and I think she actually felt that the other teams didn't like them and probably took it to heart more than Tiffany did.
I also have to wonder if the girls weren't even more mean-spirited than we saw early on...I can understand why Zev doesn't like them, and Lance doesn't like anyone...but EVERYONE seemed to dislike the girls. I wonder what we missed....
