EZ-Pass.

Expect next season that EZ-Pass will be a prize at one of the pitstops.

And also the worst product placement goes to the Sprint phone call at the end. It looked like they were going to bring out their loved ones and they get handed a phone. Gee thanks.

Yeah, not even a video phone (we saw them on video, but they only could hear each other).

Did Sprint sponsor the calls to the losers as well? There must have been two other teams' families standing by).

I don't know whether Sprint did so, but the CBS insider videos show that there were crews at the other teams' families' houses.


Tribe strikes again!
You've been warned, so don't complain.

Call me crazy but I'm not sure EZ-Pass was intentionally meant to be a product placement. It just so happened that EZ Pass won the game for Tyler and James so they had to mention it on the show. Rob/Kimberely got stuck at the toll booth. The rest of the show was a foot race with no challenges so the cab ride WAS the race. How could they not mention it ?

Think about it, EZ Pass is only valid in a few cities - why would they spend so much on advertising ?

On the other hand if a deal can be made for the TAR footage, EZ-PASS should hire the models to do their next ads.
