Seamonkey | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 11:04 am     chicken and egg.. which came first, the hateful taunting or the avoidance? |
Not1worry | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 12:19 pm     There's no excuse for the kind of taunting and teasing Kelly and Jon are doing. It wasn't funny when they were doing it alone, and it was boorish and rude to do it with other teams. Chip was laughing the laugh that said "I better go along with her, or I'll be picked on next". Millie and Chuck have their faults no doubt. I take issue with Kelly and Jon thinking it's so hysterical to make fun of someone's physical imperfections. It's not even imaginative, it's beyond immature. I don't care if they are having fun, when they do it at other's expense that ruins it for me. And yes, 7th grade was a rough year for me, so I know how it feels. Gorgeous Kelly has probably never been picked on liked she's picking on Millie. She and Jon are bullies who think being funny excuses it. While I'm ranting, neither did I think Jon was funny to goose Kelly on the train. She was being glared at and was justifiably nervous and scared. Jon showed insensitivity and the confidence that comes from the safety of being a male in a 3rd world country. I would have punched him. Kelly was rightly furious. Rant over...go clowns! |
Spear | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 01:16 pm     Even Tian and Jaree were making fun of Millie's mole on The Early Show (too bad Harry Smith went along with it). On the other hand, T/J insisted that Jon and Kelly were really nice people so they must have that same high school mentality. |
Hippyt | Friday, July 11, 2003 - 01:17 pm     Sorry,Not,I dislike her so much I spit soda laughing when Jon goosed her. Aw,Princess was frightened,LOL,loved it! |
Not1worry | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 07:48 am     Okay, Hippy, I can appreciate it from that perspective!! |
Crazydog | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 10:36 am     Still love these two. They were hilarious. I thought it was great how she sat on the basket to prevent the fish from getting out. And I loved her "please let me get this so Jon will shut up" and then how Jon said "please let her get this so Jon can shut up, Jon would like nothing more than to shut up". |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 10:42 am     eh |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 10:55 am     I agree, Crazydog! After disliking this team for so long, I think I'm finally turning the corner. Of the five teams remaining, this is the only team that I would like to see win. They're really beginning to remind me of Flo/Zack, and for some reason, it doesn't bother me now but rather makes me want to cheer for them. I understand Crazy what you mean about the Jon shutting up thing - I thought it was pretty funny too. |
Not1worry | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 11:20 am     Much as I dislike them both, and I do loathe them with hostility that is reserved for certain reality show contestants, - the girl can shoot an arrow! She just walked up and nailed it, while the men had to flail around for what seemed like hours. |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 03:14 pm     Yeah, I give her props for that shooting.. what a difference between her and ol Chuck.. But I hope she shoots herself in the foot (metaphorically) and is gone next time |
Crazydog | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 08:43 am     Very happy that these two are still in it. Even happier that they took out their nemesis. I was really nervous for them but I was glad to see them pulling together when they reached the caves. These two may bicker amongst themselves, but when it comes to competition against the other teams, they are tight with an "us against the world" attitude. I think they are great, and I hope they win. |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 09:26 am     I too am glad they eeked it out over the unhappy ones. There was, however, one slo-mo shot going into commercial of Kelly after realizing how far behind they were that was really scary! I can't imagine that she is an easy person to live with. He must not be the sharpest tool in the shed. Has he never heard of an orangutan? Thought it was really funny how Kelly rolled her eyes and pronunced it for him. Also liked Kelly's "I've got long legs like a gazelle, she's got short little stubby things" when talking about a potential footrace with Millie. (Or something like that.) |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 10:44 am     Which made no sense at all.. if you legs like a gazelle that would imply you are FASTER than Millie. I don't like them, but was happy to see the Mopey Virgins leave. |
Lumbele | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 11:25 am     Seems we agree. These two are mean to each other and their competitors, but they got spunk and I'd rather watch these 2 than the permanently dour-faced Millie and Chuck. |
Not1worry | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Mopey virgins...LOL |
Azriel | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 12:17 am     I was really happy to see that even though they knew they were way behind and in last place after they tried to get the fast forward that they didn't get the old mopey 'we are losing we might as well quit' attitude. They remained focused and just kept going for it with the same energy and that's what helped them catch up to Millie and Chuck. I like Jon and Kelley and I hope they stay in to the end. |
Beachcomber88 | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 01:43 pm     Huh? Azriel, Kelly practically gave up after they saw the Fast Forward was taken. She wasn't really trying at all. She clearly had the "Look what you've done Jon, we've lost now" attitude. That's when I believe Jon swore at her and they showed her getting out of the car as they cut to commercial. They only perked up again once they saw Millie and Chuck's car in the parking lot and realized that they had a chance to stay in it. I like this team too, but I wouldn't give them credit for fighting strong until the end. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 05:30 pm     can't stand them. no way, no how. kelly is just downright mean, angry, accusing...then all kissy-kissy when things end up okay at the end. way too high-maintenance for me! dropping the lobster trap back in two episodes back when they had it right there, coming up out of the water, was just giving up, IMO. i hope to see them gone next... |
Crazydog | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 11:09 am     After they lost the fast forward, Kelly did say, "that's it babe, we're done", but it was kind of in resignation. Jon was the one that was all mopey - he swore at her just to get her to shut up. But then I believe Kelly did say something like, that's OK, we'll just finish the rest of the tasks and go out with dignity. When Mary and Peach realized they were in last, they just gave up, had some food and a good time. It's a good thing Kelly and Jon didn't just give up because it saved them. I do think that Kelly had a good attitude about finishing well, and that she pushed Jon to keep going. Then when Jon was racing Chuck at the Roadblock, I thought Kelly was very supportive and encouraging. The Guidos taught us in Thailand that Winston Churchill said "never give up, never surrender"! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 11:22 am     I don't think she was supportive. Encouraging? Sure.. but a cattle prod is "encouraging". |
Beachcomber88 | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 11:41 am     I thought Kelly was encouraging - she was telling Jon how close he was to catching Chuckie as he was going up the ladder. I guess I don't remember it right about who had the "let's give up attitude". I thought that it was Kelly, and all I can remember is the slow-motion scary Kelly face. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 03:01 pm     Whatever.. I think overall, Kelly and Jon were not supportive of each other.. over the whole race thus far. She didn't even think to caution him to be careful on the ladder, just screamed at him to go faster. Clowns and Goats encouraged by telling the other to relax and not put themselves into danger. |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 11:22 pm     More moments of Kelly berating Jon and telling him how stupid he is. But in the end, it all works out. I'm liking this team the most out of all the remaining ones. I hope they pull it off. Loved Kelly's comment about it being the first time they finished first and the "We're Virgins" remark. One last jab at the departed Millie and Chuckie! She just couldn't resist! Normally I would think this would be a childish thing to say, but c'mon, we're talking about Millie! Shovel it on, Kelly! |
Crazydog | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 08:25 am     Yes, I love this team. I love them so much more than all the remaining teams combined. I like the way they go back and forth with each other. Kelly's little rant that "I hope you get eliminated to prove that a**holes finish last, and lucky me, I'm engaged to the a**hole. Yay!" was funny. As was Jon's "why don't I just get on my magic carpet and fly us over there". Glad to see them finish first for once. And glad that they seem to have gotten a better trip - I think they're going to the "sunny Caribbean" as opposed to "exotic Mexico" (Tijuana?) or "festive Latin America" (Tijuana again?). And good for Kelly for being in pain but not crying or saying anything about it. I thought both of them were very supportive of each other. Kelly was so concerned for Jon at the ice hole, she ran alongside on top of the ice. And Jon was so proud of Kelly for breaking the boards. |
Snee | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 12:01 am     don't like 'em. nuh-uh. |
