‘The Amazing Race 21’ preview: From losing money to losing everything
Over the past two weeks on “The Amazing Race 21,” there is one thing that we are quickly coming to learn about James & Abba: these guys seem to be being held back by pretty much everything from bad fortune to silly mistakes. Last week on the show, they fell victim to accidentally losing their money, and then having “twinnies” Natalie & Nadiya opt to not tell them about it and keep the money for themselves.
So how can things get worse than this? Let’s just say that the rocker and her lawyer pal do something that is pretty much a death sentence on this show unless you somehow manage to find a way to work through it: forgetting your passport and some of your other travel documents. How do you get past this? There’s really only two options here if you want to stay in the race: you either hope that a local has brought them to an embassy, or you have to hope that someone from where you had them last (such as if you forgot them in a cab) still has them.
To make matters worse for James and Abba, these two are going to have to try and go without passports in the toughest place imaginable to do so: Russia. This is a country that is very strict when it comes to having all of the proper documentation, and two Americans without passports is not a great situation in the slightest. The only thing that may save them? That a pair of other teams are going to be stranded at the airport, and this could allow them a little extra time to figure out what happened.
Do you think James & Abba are likely to be sent home this week?

Weres honesty to the twins? When a person found a
Money you will actually ask who lost something? Not a good example to children for keeping it! They ahould have eliminated! I dont like them!

those two women should have been kicked off last week for taking the money. They knew whose it was. I cant believe the show allowed this!

The money was theft, no matter how you cut it. In the real world that would be called “Theft by Find” and is just as much a crime as stealing it intentionally. I’m tired of people who don’t understand that this is a family show and allowing the thieves to continue is akin to condoning the crime itself.
There are many people in prison who think that stealing is ok as well, so just having a popular opinion doesn’t make it morally or criminally correct.
If you can’t remove the thieves, there should be some kind of penalty levied for this behavior.
still love this show

they found the money!!! they did not steal it. the cameras showed how they found it. if it was wrong obviously something would have been done to them!! stealing would have been going in their bags and taking the money. even the guy said he lost the money. I’m tired of people saying they stole it. their playing a game to win 1 million dollars. it’s competition.
who is condoing this “crime” you are speaking about?
Also, there are many other people that will watch the show
A very disapointed viewer with a family

How can you allow a couple of thieves to continue on your show????????????? This will be the last time I watch it if you continue to allow this to go on with them on it. You are condoning a crime and should not be allowed to let younger viewers to see this go on without stopping them from going on any further.
