Even though I've been watching TAR this season, I've never posted over here before. But I came to see if you guys were as disgusted with these two as I am.

I have to admit, I'm surprised by the adoration you guys have for them.

Don't you guys find Jon's passive/aggressive nature and Kelly domineering, borderline abusive behavior toward Jon just a tad bit scary?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't find their banter amusing. I cringe when I watch these two and I can't even begin to imagine what they are like behind closed doors. The way they treat each other cannot be resersed just for the game.

Scorpio, I get the feeling that the edited version of Jon and Kelley (under a lot of pressure in the game, I might add) is a lot harsher than the real 24/7 Jon and Kelly. In the end, they both seem to love and respect each other.

Scorpio.. while there do seem to be some who adore them and who've posted more lately, I can assure you that I don't get "love and respect" vibes from J/K and just because it is Kelly doesn't make some of the stuff she says OK with me.

My favorite teams are gone, except for Chip/Reichen. I don't really like the other three teams but think K/J have worked harder than the goats. So I'd like to see them in third, maybe second, of the four remaining teams.

Thanks for your input guys. I was really disturbed by Kelly and Jon. It's good to come here and get different perspectives.

They bother me too Scorpiomoon and I was SO disappointed when they came in last a few weeks ago but it was non-elimination. Argh!

I think they are rude and crude and are the kind of "friends" who'd bad mouth you the minute you left the room. Tough team but I don't want to see them win.

still not liking these two. and, unfortuntely, not surprised at all when kelly lamented the loss of 'a big wedding and the million dollars', when she feared jon was hurt or worse in the roll-over, rather than the loss of the man himself. it's always about kelly.
i disagree that they have worked harder than jeff and dave. everyone who is at this point has worked the same to be there. i am amazed they can make so many stupid errors and be where they are, though! if they would just take time to read the instructions, they would probably be in first place. "take a camera and go....." uh, camera?

I think it was obvious that Kelly was joking. She was very concerned about the roll over, but when she saw he was OK, she laughed it off. I think these two have definitely had the most fun on the race, and I hope they win.

CD, she may have been joking, but that kind of "joking" is what wears people down in a relationship. And they seem to take every opportunity to be unpleasant to and about other people. I hope they don't win.

As for the Goats, I think what some of us have seen is that so often they relied on others to help them.. like when they couldn't find the clue box and the Clowns told them where. That wasn't an isolated incident. But of course it is just a matter of opinion for all of us, since we aren't there.

It seems to me that all the remaining teams have made their share of stupid errors. They've all been strong enough to survive them, though.

I've come to like K&J, and would be okay with them or R&C winning. Don't, can't and never will like D&J. Too oily.

I wasn't bothered by Kelly's comments last night (about needing Jon to win, etc.) - she was joking, blowing off steam after a scare. It seems to me that it's Kelly and Jon's natures to make lots of jokes and needle each other (and others). It can get tiresome, but I think it works for them.

they are a couple i could not be around very long. i had (had!) friends like them once and they were forever putting each other down and then making up, or blaming each other for the little things... and it was just too hard and awful to be around them. venting then letting off steam, then heating up, then apologizing, then blaming...much too much for me! it's not comfortable to be around people who call each other 'a-hole' or 'stupid' as easily as they do 'honey' or 'babe'. just because someone apologizes later, doesn't make it right to be so awful to them all the time and then have the need to apologize. JMO, of course, but i felt as if kelly was always telling jon how he was wrong about this, stupid about that, and then finding out he had been right all along. and a little "oops, sorry" or an air-kiss and they were supposed to be just fine, until the next incident.
i didn't think it was 'obvious' that kelly was joking. i felt it was just kelly.
not sure what 'oily' means relating to dave and jeff, LOL, but i still think they will win. i will be fine with a reichen and chip win, but a kelly/jon win would be the same (for me) as flo winning, or ian and teri, even!
