Ryn | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:14 am     "Engaged" BIO Kelly, 30, has been modeling for the past 10 years. She met her fiancé in a "dive bar" in South Beach, Miami. Kelly admits to being high-strung and obsessive, "athletic, bossy and silly." She enjoys scuba diving, running and traveling, and attended two years of junior college. Kelly and Jon recently had a "bad breakup on their three-year anniversary" over getting married, but since then, they've gotten engaged. Nothing's off limits in conversation. Kelly believes that she "could fit in at the presidential banquet or at a frat party," though Barbara Bush once told her at a VIP Texan party to "stay away from George." She gets motion sickness and fears spiders, bees, heights and sharks. Originally from New Jersey, Jon, 28, is a real estate agent and has worked as a model and bartender in the past. He's an "all-around good athlete" and graduate of Rutgers University, which he attended on a Lacrosse scholarship. He enjoys skiing and boating and considers himself to be "spontaneous, competitive and funny." He claims to have no fears, but "fat people" is the sole listing under his phobias. He blows off steam by "having sex," and says the his favorite topic of conversation is "talking shit about other people." He spent some time in Thailand with his teammate and has traveled to Italy, France, Holland, the UK and Portugal. He speaks no foreign languages. Jon describes Kelly as "very sympathetic for others," but admits that one of his pet peeves about himself is that he is extremely critical of other people. |
Ladytex | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:19 am     Alrighty then...sounds like we will enjoy this couple ... NOT |
Theowl | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:22 am     I KNOW I'm not going to like HIM!!!  |
Jasper | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:25 am     <please don't use symbols to get around the dots - they are there for a reason - thanks - ryn> They won't be making my mediawhore team! |
Crazydog | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 10:01 am     I hate them already. |
Tishala | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 08:49 pm     Oh I think I love them! Heehee |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:08 am     models, bartenders, contestants, oh my! is everyone in the world (besides me and squared) at least a part-time model? this team is not going to make it far IMO and where the heck is ketchuplover? i am waiting for the "they're the winners", under each couple's page! |
Crazydog | Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 09:33 am     I wonder if CBS got some complaints. All references to "fat people", blowing off steam by "having sex", and "talking S___ about other people" have been removed from their page on the CBS site. Now it just says "Jon claims to have no fears and he often blows off steam by playing football on the beach." Whatever. I still don't like him. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 09:39 am     but does he play 'touch' football? and, who is 'steam'? LOL |
Lycanthrope | Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 10:28 pm     I picked these 2 to do well and they finished in the top 3 last ep... |
Crazydog | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 08:13 am     I see a lot of Flo and Zach in these two. Kelly is a high-maintenance <Mod hd> while Jon is calmer and wants to make sure things are right. I thought it was hilarious when he voiced over "like Kelly was going to carry the bass anyways". Good for him to say, twice, "I want to make sure we are going the right way". And did you see her eyeroll the first time he said it? I wanted to slap her. And then a half-hearted, oops Jon was right to the camera, but no apology to him. She seems like she's great and fun when things are going her way, but when they're not, WATCH OUT. Just like Flo. These two are going to have a volatile marriage. |
Spear | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:11 pm     They might agree with you, Crazydog -- the CBS website has an "exclusive video" with each team's bio. In theirs, Kelly talks about taking a deep breath and "getting the Flo out" when she gets stressed! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:25 pm     wow, i want this gal gone! she is mean all the way around, until things go her way or happen to work out despite her! wonder if they are still engaged? |
Seamonkey | Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:47 pm     Flo, but no Zach. She's mean but he's no prize either. I want them gone gone gone. |
Heyltslori | Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:47 pm     Agreed Tabby. She is extremely mean and childish and I hope she's gone soon too. Hopefully it will be humiliating for her too. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:49 pm     I could live with humiliating for her |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 11:41 pm     Why were we all thinking that Amanda was this year's Flo? KELLY is this season's Flo! She is so annoying. I loved how she was telling Jon he was going the wrong way to the lighthouse all the way up until he stopped the car at the steps. This team needs to go next. |
Crazydog | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:02 am     I like him, I think he's really calm and he's funny in his voiceover comments. I definitely agree that she is this year's Flo. She is really annoying though, she always tells Jon he is doing everything wrong. At least she apologized this time. He seems to be able to take it and know how to deal with her though. Did you see that look he had when she was screaming in the backseat about how they were going the wrong way to the lighthouse? It was the "I'm pretending to ignore her" look. Funny. |
Lumbele | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 10:27 am     Nobody is gonna touch that 'orgasm' comment, huh? Geez, I thought he'd be dangling from a tree limb by the time I got online.LOL |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 10:35 am     There is some discussion of that comment in the thread for last night's show |
Hermione69 | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 11:19 am     I don't care for either one of them. I know that Kelly is being criticized more, but I get the feeling that there is a strong cause and effect reaction going on with these two... that he is extremely passive-aggressive and she reponds by being shrill and whiny. I actually get worse vibes about him than I do about her. I hope they are gone soon and if their behavior on TAR is reflective of their real relationship, I hope they break up or get counseling because I think they bring out the worst in each other. MHO, FWIW. |
Not1worry | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 12:53 pm     She is reminding me too much of Arianne from last season. Criticizing Millie and called her Millie the Mole. Made me want to call Kelly a bad name. |
Kappy | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 09:37 pm     Well, because I decided that I really don't care for this team at all, especially after their put downs of Millie & Chuck tonight again ~ for no reason, I'm predicting that they will win the entire race. But I hope not. Kelly reminds me of an eleven-year-old playground bully. And Jon isn't much better. Actually, they deserve each other and all the obvious problems they have, lol. |
Whoami | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 10:40 pm     Definetly my least favorite team. All proud because they call Millie "mole?" Geeze, I've seen more mature 12 year olds. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:28 pm     i have decided she wears the pants in the relationship and he is not going to marry this girl...ever! if he can get whipped in front of a camera, imagine the hell she gives him when they are alone! |
