i read that was a "pre-race" interview. see up above. so i'm assuming that they were "former" boyfriend/girlfriend and possibly got back together.

as a parent of a child with ADD/ADHD, you don't have a clue what kind of disability it is until you've lived in their shoes. and let me tell you, every single day is an exhausting battle.

I also live in Greenville, SC and know Kelly. The stress she was showing last night was very obvious and the distraction from the task at hand as well. I agree she has certainly used this disability as a crutch but I've also see what she can do when she puts her mind to it. ADD is not going to win the Amazing Race and I'm hoping that last night was a listen her and Ron and they get on the horse and start riding. It was sad to see them struggle last night especially when I know her but I also know that they could have done better as well.

So far I'm bored with them and didn't like him playing the charity card so soon..

Those of you that know them, or one of them.. it must be difficult to witness them being analyzed. Heck, I get that way with contestants I just like but if I everen KNOW one.. ACK! Anyway, there's time for them to redeem themselves.

Was very disappointed with them. They seem very "simple".

I also hated how they labelled themselves as the "American" couple. Did anybody else notice the American flags when they were introduced at the beginning of the episode? Make me want to gag.

Have to say I'm not rooting for them.

Bbk5, but that's the whole point of doing a pageant, you have to have a platform. You know, world peace, homeless cats, ADD, that's just a part of the whole thing. You've gotta have cause to support during your reign. You can't just walk around with a crown on your head and that be your only job description. That's British nobility. We're talking about a beauty queen here, it's two different things.

They did very well. Hooking up with Rob and Amber paid off for them.

In the Insider Clips there's a segment where Phil is doing a behind the scenes bit where he's waiting at the pitstop for the first teams to arrive. He shares some race gossip he must have learned from the producers. Among other things, he says that Ron and Kelly split off from the Romber alliance sometime after the bus.

I'd love to see this explained. Rob sure didn't give any hints on how to stack books, nor did Ron bother to look over to get a peek at Rob's methods.

And while Ron and Kelly were picking up spilled books and she was whining that she doesn't speak Spanish, Rob and Amber appeared to go quietly past them so they couldn't follow them but had to find the library on their own.. of course they still could have followed Rob but we didn't see that.

I am not crazy about these two. he doesnt seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer and she just reminds me of the girl from last season, the one who wanted to take the african children home as pets.

I doubt Kelly will start screaming at Ron. She is fairly classy and will not embarass herself on national TV. She will speak her mind but she won't show her behind. Now as for Ron, I could see him being a real behind if he wanted too!

The more I see them the more I don't think they are a match in real life or for reality TV.

Did you hear her tell him to count the books that she couldn't count? I want to see them outlike Rob and Amber regardless.

I did hear her but thought she was referring to the fact (that Rob and Amber already found out) that the final count had to be from the guy who held the clue, but now that I've read that she has a learning disability, that makes more sense, along with her incorrect subtraction later on. And her partner should be aware of that and cut her some slack.

And if they aren't a match, and I tend to agree with you there, better to find out sooner than later, I always say.

But they aren't very interesting or fun to watch, so far.

I thought these two would be my favorites, but it sure hasn't worked out that way. I was very disappointed to learn that "my boy" wasn't a very good strategist or problem solver. I would have thought with his background and experience that he would be more savvy. Given a choice...if I am ever shot down in enemy territory...I would rather be with Rob!

I was also very put off with his claiming that he would donate his winnings to his fellow vets. We don't believe in broadcasting that sort of thing. What's the purpose? Manipulation? or just making yourself out to be a nice guy?

I am finding her to be even less interesting. And their dynamic as a team just isn't working. I am no longer rooting for them. If they are the next to go, it's fine by me.

Marys.. with you 100%!!

And I'll add that perhaps each of them can find a partner who brings out the best in them.

I'm with Marys and Sea on this one - if I was ever shot down in enemy territory...I would rather be with Rob!

Actually there isn't any place I wouldn't rather be with Rob! If I were 40 years younger, that Amber would be in trouble!!

LOL! Get in line Titan fan. ..... I STILL say put Rob on Big Brother!

But back to Ron and Kelly .......... Maris, what's her face from last season came off (to me) as thinking she was better than "the poor little wretches" in the street. I don't get that from Kelly at all. What about her reminds you of the other girl?

Does anyone get the feeling they may just be together for the show - trying to appeal to the audience as the all-american couple. They just seem pretty akward together.

This team does NOT have the chemistry that Rob and Amber have with each other. They just aren't clicking... This is almost like a 30-day bad date that spans 7 continents, 11 countries and 50,000 miles -- it just won't end...

LOL at the bad date that won't end!

It’s kind of ironic isn’t it that the people who met on a reality show (Rob and Amber) – you know – the ones that some viewers claimed were insincere and shallow about their relationship, actually appear to have one of the better relationships of any couple we’ve seen on the show.

On the other hand, it does seem that Kelly simply got together with Ron because she thought he would be a good looking date and they would make an attractive “All American” couple. And I’m not making that up – didn’t she basically say exactly that in one of her interviews?

That's exactly what I'm talking about!!! The couple that met on a reality show has a great relationship (and no one thought it would last past the island) and the war hero and beauty queen can barely stand to be around each other.
