Beware the curse of the Casablanca idol. While no one has been the victim of a terrible surf accident just yet, we bet in the coming weeks that little Moroccan idol will be the undoing of one team. With only four teams remaining, things are getting fierce between beauty queens Dustin and Kandice and, well, about everyone else. With the lovable Cho Brothers off the course, will anyone do the right thing? Will Rob and Kimberly continue to be cursed by every car they jump into? And can Lyn and Karlyn hang tough without the help of the now-eliminated Six Pack? Answers, and maybe some leftovers, after the jump!

Brad Pitt takes time off from incessant fatherhood and hits theatres today in Babel, the story of four plotlines in one film coming together to "explore the nature of the barriers and misunderstandings that seem to separate mankind." Huh? Yes, that's right. Think Crash in a more exotic, beautiful location.

The movie involves an American tourist couple struggling to survive, two Moroccan boys wrapped up in an accidental crime, a nanny illegally fleeing to Mexico with two of her American charges, and a Japanese teen rebel whose dad is being hunted by Tokyo police. Ho-hum, just like every other day, right? Yea, we're just as confused as you but we'll probably end up seeing this one just for the scene where Brad cries into the phone.

As the film was shot in Morocco (and that's a rare one for us) we offer you some cool travel tips for a fun time in Fez:

Where To Stay:
Sofitel Palais Jamai Fes
Head to Fez and check into this impressive former palace (the once-residence of the Grand Vizir Jamai), built in 1879. The hotel offers superb views of the Fez Medina and a great terrace to enjoy the twinkly lights below on, a fun lobby piano bar, and rooms have gorgeous Moroccan accents and free Wi-Fi.

Where To Shop:
Souk el Henna
Forgo the larger bazaar or head here after your bargaining's done for a great selection of spices, hennas, kohls, and aphrodisiacs. Apparently the charming square's quite picturesque and features a giant, gnarled fig tree at its center.

Where To Eat:
Dar Saada
Built in the 14th century, this palace is one of Fez's traditions, a must-see for visitors. Intricate Moroccan architecture makes for an elegant dining experience, and heaping plates of roast lamb and beef tangine ensure you won't leave hungry. ]]> sedona 2006-10-27T09:00:02-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2006/5/2/82917/90013

Traveling can just as easily be about facing up to very simple fears and annoyances; some people hate aisle seats while others don't like the idea of how dirty a hotel bedspread is. (Very, very dirty, in case you were wondering.) Nonetheless, many of these things are unavoidable--travel rarely happens in a controlled evironment, unless you are doing it from the comfort of your living room as we do every day.
