I don't know about that, Wick1st. If "shush" were the worst thing ever said to me I'd count myself lucky. I certainly wouldn't call my partner "just a piece of trash redneck." In my book that shows a different (and not very flattering) side of Kelly, not Ron. Granted that was just a clip, so for her sake I hope there was a lot more nastiness on his side to justify such an elitist comment.

Ron reminds me alot of Rob. Rob comes out with what he is thinking and Ron keeps trying to play the nice guy while all the time has that sneaky little brain going. The way I see it --- you can only be nice for so long before the real personality comes out. I live in Greenville, SC and know Kelly and Ron. You'll see...just wait...Ron is not all that and more!!!!!!!!!!!

Curlyq, yeah, I'm guessing something else went on (that we haven't seen yet) to illicit such a response. Should be interesting. I've seen articles where Ron is referred to as Kelley's "former" boyfriend.

I keep thinking that they (CBS) wanted Ron on the show and they either hooked him up with her or he met her somewhere and said he would like to race with her. They do not seem to know each other very well.

I got distracted by the news. I have nothing to add on Rob's behavior. I'm torn about it. I would have stopped but I know that's because of the person I am and Rob is nothing like me. So, it's a judgement call as to whether it was "wrong" or not. I tend to agree with those who say that they could clearly see a car was already stopped so they decided to keep going. (Note: I think I am cutting him some slack because Rob did make a comment about not wanting anyone to get hurt so I think he was just being what he considers 'practical' not unfeeling.)

Ok - that's it for me. I'm off. See everyone next week (or on the Survivor thread tomorrow). Night!

Ahhhh ............... ok, I see Wick. Now I remember your posts from the "Ron and Kelly" thread.

I don't know Ron but I've been following his story ever since he was a POW and the only thing he seems to have in common with Rob is that they're both baseball fans. He always comes across as very polite and well manered.

But we shall see.....

In the last few scenes it looked like Deanna had trouble keeping her right eye open. Has it always been this way or did something happen to it in this episode?

Cathie - I noticed that during that first leg. When they were on the mat at the end, she seemed to be having problems. I thought maybe I had missed her getting hurt but then, in the next shot, it was open again.

So, I'm not sure what was going on with her eye but I did notice it (haven't noticed it before, either).

Csnog, no, they were dating before the show. If you go to the AR Insider (or whatver it's called there) on CBS.com they tell about how they met. She saw coverage of him on the news, contacted his family and invited him (after he was released and returned home) to South Carolina where she was to turn over her pageant crown. They've been doing the long distance thing ever since.

It is called common courtesy. Rob and Amber don't have it. There isn't a rule about it, they aren't getting punished for it, just ya know, shows what kind of humans they are.

They sure don't act like they are dating.

No sweet talk at all between them.

I agree about Ron and Kelly. She doesn't seem like she likes him that much. I have noticed that since the beginning.

She needed an escort to give up her title as Miss SC and he liked the idea of a beauty queen because he is so small town. They have feed off each other, but neither really have a lot of personality. She is somewhat reserved and things have to be so so. In fact, I never saw how in the world she won Miss SC. They never spent very little time time together. Everything was totally long distance and they didn't even know each other before the race started. They were never a couple to begin with. Having the two of them on the AM is just good TV -- You'll see what I'm talking about as time goes on. He even has a child that no one ever mentions and I would love to know the real story there.

I was kind of enjoying Rob and Amber up until tonight. Not donating any money, saying Gretchen probably wasn't even hurt - just trying for sympathy, not even stopping to ask if they were ok at the wreck, I don't think I'm enjoying them much after all. I'm hoping for Uchenna and Joyce and Greg and Brian now I guess. I admired how they handled their setback without giving up. I also admired how Gretchen and Meridith hung in there and kept trying till the end. It was perfect that they beat Ray and Deanna after all the negative comments Ray had to say about the "old" couple, especially when they started this leg dead last.

Jen, I get just the opposite. Just like tonight when they were waiting to get on the train. Ron said "Why are you leaning in on me" or something and Kelly looked like she wanted to kiss him. He sounded like he was half-way kidding .......... and half way not.

Wick, I think they're both adorable and while I haven't seen as much of her as I have of him, the kid's got a TON of personality. (Did you see him on Letterman?) As for his son, he was mentioned quite a bit in news coverage.

It would be a hoot if they did break up and the Robfather orchestrated the whole thing! (not that I like to see ANYONE break up, but you know what I mean.)

rob's comment about gretchen was totally in jest - nothing wrong with that - nor was there anything wrong in not giving money or stopping - its a game and they were acting in accordance to the game with the goal of winning it - never wanted either to win on survivor but so far i dont see how they have done anything wrong - they use any and all resources to get ahead and they are just humorous and confident - and they dont bad mouth others like some do to them - they say things either in a joking way, as in gretchen didnt get hurt etc or because it really is true, like Lynn being a baby in the van.

who knows if i would have stopped or not - if i saw actual people hurt i might but if not,and if i saw others stopping i may just go - why stop to ask if everything is ok, if you already see others stopping to ask the same question - especially if there is nothing you can do to help.

i wonder if the cameraman will get interviewed.

I really liked him when I first met him. As you say, adorable. He will be Mr. Nice Guy for the cameras. No doubt! In the end, we are what we are and he's just not my cup of tea for a friend. I admit that he makes for good TV too but in real life he's still young with a lot to learn. As far as her, she's got a lot to learn too!

I'm re-watching the show ........... does anyone remember if there is any relation to a show that has a fast forward and a show that is a non-elimination? At least on more recent seasons where there have only been a FFs couple per season as opposed to every show. You know that's always a fun side-game while watching the show, trying to determine if it's non-elimination and I'm hoping that's another clue.

Well, either way Wick they're both lucky to have a friend like you!

They had to think that everything was OK because someone was still filming and Brian/Greg were standing.

Maybe we will know more next week when they show portions of the show we haven't seen.

I agree, the comment about Gretchen was a joke. That is his sense of humor. I also don't disagree with not giving any money. (That's a lot of negatives in one sentence!) But not stopping at all? It's called a soul Rob.

Raen, you have been a sanity saver for me the last two weeks. First I went on vacation and set my VCR to record the wrong channel and now, this week, I think I set it correctly but for some reason, it didn't record. If it weren't for you, I'd be in the dark and very unhappy. Thanks for doing this every week.

Now see, I disagree with him refusing to pitch in and help Meredith and "what's his name" more than I do not stopping. I think it's poor game play for one ............ and there's this little thing called karma (but I guess that would apply to the car wreck to.)

I guess I'm more forgiving of them when it comes to the wreck because everything was happening so fast and, as I said earlier, it may have appeared that the boys were getting help (and they were.)

I just have to express this:

Can you imagine if you were a camera person on this show? You're probably pretty close to the other camera people because it's such an extreme gig.

So, you're riding with Rob and Amber and you all drive passed the accident. Rather than being able to stop and see if your friend/fellow camera person is ok, you have no choice but to continue filming Rob snickering into the camera saying this was a competition and he wasn't going to stop.

Do you know how much that would suck?

What a night! I have two daughters and both are huge fans of the show...they talk about competing some day. I called DD#2 before the show started and got her voice mail, so I assumed she was out and was taping it. Then I called DD#1 because she has every other week custody of her children, this is an off week, so I knew she was watching it alone.

I called her during every commercial break to discuss what just happened. About half way through the second episode...I was just about to hit the redial button when the phone rang...it was DD#2..."It's about darn time you got off the phone...I've been trying to call you for an hour and half! ooops! LOL!

So then every commercial break, DD#2 would call me and then I would call DD#1. And with hubby adding in his two cents....it was quite a night!

A couple of classics from our house...

DD#1 thought Kelli was nuts when she said that "shopping was hard." Walking across that water tower was hard...Shopping is a piece of cake!

When Meredith and Gretchen arrived last at the pit stop and Phil was giving them all the bad news...and he tells them that they are going to lose their backpacks with all their clothes...Hubby adds..."and then we are sending you to some place cold." DD#1 says "Shame on them for being so mean to old people!". (DD#1 is a strong advocate for the elderly and is always going out of her way to do something nice for them.)

When Rob says, "No more Mr. Guy." DD#2 says, "WHEN! When were you EVER Mr Nice Guy."

Both girls said they were crying at the end...while mom was yelling at the TV. Not a fan of Ray and Deena, I was cheering on the guys, "RUN, you *#&%$Y&$s!!!" Hubby says, "They did the Ostrich eggs right? "Yes, I say, (wondering what the heck that has to do with anything.) Well, he says, You could have said, "Run, you suckers!"
