On just about any other TAR episode in existence, the ludicrous mistake of leaving one's travel documentation behind in a taxi and proceeding off without it would have been enough to guarantee elimination. Sisters Kisha and Jen ended up not even coming close to that demarcation.
Having the dual mental glitch of leaving behind the fanny packs after Kisha completed the Roadblock was one thing. The more concerning issue is that Jen clearly knew she was right but wasn't aggressive enough to take charge of the situation and dissuade Kisha from pushing forward anyway. At least Michael of the Mark/Michael team could do that much.
Fortunately, the sisters did seem to recover their lost bearings.... and had an enjoyable enough Detour ride through the party taxi. Because of both the insane four hour penalty time for Mark & Michael and the nonelimination aspect, Kisha & Jen should not have any lasting repercussions on leg nine.
It just seems to this blogger though that a more open, less dominant/recessive communication dynamic between the sisters would help avoid any such issues through the remainder of their stint on TAR14.
