‘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?
