Gnomes On The Roam, Other Product Placements Of The Week

"What's a gnome?" was all Rob Mariano could say to his girlfriend and teammate, Amber, when given his next clue in the April 26th episode of CBS' "The Amazing Race." But it wasn't just any gnome; it was Travelocity roaming spokesgnome. The team that retrieved a gnome with a picture of a plane on its bottom would win a prize from Travelocity. Older teammates, Gretchen and Meredith took great care to deliver their gnome unharmed to the pit stop. They were seen throughout the episode cradling their gnome and going so far as to name it but unfortunately their gnome didn't bring them any prize. That's just one of the featured product placements of the past week brought to you by MediaDailyNews and branded entertainment researcher iTVX. Other notable placements include:

In their last team task, Team Magna and Team Net Worth had to design a commemorative t-shirt for Hanes in the April 28th installment of NBC's "The Apprentice." Net Worth's Alex finally fell victim to his own ambitions when he couldn't help teammate, Tana, effectively market the t-Shirt.
