Is It Real Or Isn't It?

This was kind of bizarre story, but aren't most of them on CSI? A women is pictured dead on a website photo that makes it to the CSI lab. Gregg says it is real while Nick thinks it is fake. They find out it IS fake, but several days later the woman in the picture IS found dead in the same place. Huh?

We go from there, leading to three young and fairly well-off guys who are visiting in Vegas to see who can finish their "bucket list." One of the items is "kill a prostitute." One of the guys is a real nerd.

In a secondary story, parts of Hodges motorcycle are found in a separate, fatal accident. He and Ray go on that case.

Overall, a "fair" episode, not that memorable but not bad, either, except for a cameo appearance by "Carrot Top." Now, there's a weird dude who fits right into this TV show.
