Brent and Caite

Dating Models








Brent Horne­

Hometown: Columbia, S.C.
Connection to your Teammate: Dating
Current Occupation: Model
Pet peeve about your teammate: She is hard headed and can’t take criticism
Favorite Hobbies: Sports and traveling
Achievements: My faith. I’ve been in some crazy situations and around some not-so-cool people and still stand my ground with my beliefs
Lifelong To Do List: Travel the world; have a fulfilling, rewarding and successful career; solve the mystery of who killed JFK; make a difference in someone's life; have a family; hit a hole-in-one and host my own show
If I could switch places with someone: Actually no one, I enjoy my life and who I am. I look forward to the journey that lies in front of me
Role Model/Hero: My Mom
What are you passionate about? My relationships and enjoying life! I never take a moment for granted
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Go on a vacation with my family and friends, give back to my parents and in some way better myself so that I could be in a position to help others
People would be surprised to learn: I'd rather give than receive
Favorite place you have ever visited: Grand Cayman
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: We are both "Type A" personalities and need to do some work on the way we communicate with each other
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other than winning one million bucks)? I hope to build on the already great relationship I have with Caite and prove to myself and others that I have the strength and faith to endure the craziest of circumstances


Caite Upton

Age: 20
Hometown: Lexington, S.C.
Connection to your Teammate: Dating
Current Occupation: Model
Pet peeve about your teammate: He picks his nose with tissue paper, throws it in the toilet and doesn’t flush
Favorite Hobbies: Art, sports, modeling and acting
Achievements: Being able to overcome the embarrassment from the flub I made on national television during the Miss Teen USA pageant
Lifelong To Do List: To advance my career as an actress and model. I also want to complete my college career in art with a minor in business at UCLA
If I could switch places with someone: Nobody, I'm very content with who I am.
Role Model/Hero: Johnny Unitas because he continued to be a good person while in the limelight and was very headstrong, genuine and determined to achieve everything he put his mind to    
What are you passionate about? My lifelong goals and dreams
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Buy a Maserati and a round of drinks for my friends. Hah
People would be surprised to learn: I'm very athletic and can pretty much beat every guy in anything. I am also an amazing artist
Favorite place you have ever visited: Montabaur, Germany.
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: We both are headstrong and feel as if we are alpha males in the relationship.  We will also need to do a better job listening to each other
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other than winning one million bucks)? I hope to learn how to stay calm in tense situations

They gave me bad vibes from their intro video.  Add in that Brooke had no good things to say about Brent, and I'm wary of them.

They seem to have a "dark" aura, in general. Maybe it's just their clothing. :lol:

I don't know if she knows what the world is, or even where the US is, or if she knows that maps are common in life...


What is she doing in The Amazing Race?

She had a moment of brain freeze...it happens. Three years ago. :res:

But she went on to be able to laugh at herself, and that is a great gift. She has done some very funny bits for Jimmy Kimmel:

I think she'll be fun to watch...hope she gets the chance to kick some butt!! Revenge is sweet. :funny:

At least she acknowledges how messed up that situation was, and is motivated to show that she's actually better than that.

While I fully respect Brooke as a alumni Racer, it may well be the Brent and her were like oil and water, and that Caite and Brett are more compatible for whatever reason. Doesn't make any of them bad or evil per se. It'll be interesting to see what the local media has to say as this is the third team from this area to make a cast in the last four seasons. Haven't seen anything yet.

I don't know.  In their video, they seemed to have ZERO chemistry.  They just looked uncomfortable with each other.

She seemed very uncomfortable being interviewed, the way she paused between every two words and took a deep breath -- but she's hot  :neener:

I agree. I don't think they are not the bickering team of the season.

I'm a little wary of her. Maybe I'll be surprised.

Does CBS set up teams facebook fan pages or is it up to the racers to make one? I could not find Catie's and Brent's.

Well, they don't have to make one if they don't want to. Joseph & Heidi were the admins of their fan page, so I would assume they made it themselves.

I do think this is a team I don't like AT ALL, and thus, they'll make it far... :(

I don't know about her age, but although she had been 25, I wouldn't have taken her for the race.

Agreed. But maybe they'll surprise us.

What better scenario could CBS and World Race Productions ask for than a former beauty pageant winner who flubs a geography question at the 2007 Miss Teen USA Pageant? She is a lot smarter than most people assume from the pageant winner resume. She could also be as athletic as Dustin and Kandice were. It would be total redemption of her image is she was able to win AR16. To do that I think she needs to stay positive in her relationship with Brent.  If she does, they will have earned their victory.

I'm not saying anything else about her bad appearance in Miss Teen USA... It is just that I don't see them a natural couple. There's something like Brent-talks-just-so-that-it-doesn't-seem-that-she-is-the-only-member-of-the-entire-team-and-this-team-is-just-AWFUL-for-me...
