I was also really sad to see Zev and Justin go, as one of my favourite teams.
Posted this as a response to an update/article on the LA Times website:
It was really disheartening when they realized they were missing a passport. I had a feeling they would eventually be eliminated, despite them being one of my favourite teams. They were really funny this particular episode too (Zev's reoccurring line, "I'll call your mother!" cracked me up the whole night).
No, I don't think it was fair to eliminate them without giving them enough time to look for it but in that situation, I think the producers needed a team to be eliminated, and even though Zev and Justin were given some time to search for the passport, they probably felt it was easier to just eliminate them there, rather than give extend the rules of the show and give them a few hours to try and locate it.
Besides these two awesome guys, my money's on Sam and Dan, who haven't been focused on a lot yet. With Zev and Justin losing their first place check-in, I guess that puts them first.
The race definitely will not be as enjoyable without the quirky, wonderful, and adorable pair. Sigh.
As a side-note, Zev and Justin eventually did find the passport. In their Elimination Station video, they went to the US Embassy to get a temporary passport when the people there actually had their passport (someone must have found it and gave it to the embassy). It was found at the temple where they had the monkey challenge when Z+J mistakenly went into one of the temples after misreading a clue and must've dropped it when Justin was taking out his flashlight.
It sucks that they had to go out this way. I think the rules should be changed (for future seasons) so that teams have some time to look for the passports rather than getting eliminated so easily -- plus, it would serve as good TV drama ("Will they find the passport and continue on or will they be eliminated? Dun dun dun!")
