Amazing Race 15: Episode 1, Part 2
By Daron Aldridge

Fourth goes to Lance, Keri and Lance's primal scream of approval. Zev and Justin sidestep the "lost clue" landmine from earlier, coupled with Zev at the Roadblock, and they are team number five. Down five spots from the last leg, Meghan and Cheyne settle for sixth. Conversely, Tiffany and Maria are strong this leg, jumping from 11th to seventh with the extra task. Mika and Canaan outpace Marcy and Ron for eighth and ninth place respectively.
This race to the finish turns out to actually be a footrace to the end. It is very close, with no need for manufactured suspense and Garret ups the drama by plowing over a guy on a stopped moped. The tenth team to arrive is...Ericka and Brian. This means that Garrett and Jessica are the last team to arrive and Phil is sorry to tell that they have been eliminated from the race.
Garrett closes out the show with touching words to America and Jessica, "We're stronger than what our placement shows. I don't know if we are closer to marriage." With that uplifting note, see you next week for more racing, arguing and hopefully more pratfalls.
