S.C. couple join an 'Amazing Race'
Caite Upton is ready to hit the road again.
"It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life," Upton said. "It was very overwhelming, but it drained us.
"I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Racing around the world can be addictive.
The 16th season of "The Amazing Race" premieres at 8 tonight, and Lexington native Upton partnered with Columbia native Brent Horne to form one of the 11 teams globetrotting on the popular CBS program.
On the show's Web site profile, Upton and Horne are listed as dating models.
Caite (pronounced like Katie) Upton. That name sounds familiar, doesn't it?
When she flubbed a question at the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant, she was known as Caitlin Upton. Her stumbling answer has been viewed more than 39 million times on YouTube.
(For the record - and for those snickering about her infamous rambling - Upton was cool and composed, and coherent, while speaking to this reporter during an interview last week.)
Upton returned to TV for the debut episode of "King of the Crown," the TLC show that followed Cy Frakes, a beauty pageant coach who owns the local store Gowns and Crowns. She also appeared in an ad for Wonderful pistachios.
The pressure she felt on the Miss Teen USA stage doesn't compare to the strenuous nature of "Amazing Race," which requires physical and mental endurance.
"A lot of times you put wear and tear on your body because of how long you're going and how fast," she said.
Horne, who wants to wait at least six months to recuperate before strapping on the backpack again, said there was no down time on the race - even on 15-hour flights.
"Because you're so anxious, you're constantly looking," he said. "Constantly planning and plotting."
For the viewer, the show is a beautiful snapshot of exotic countries, places we most likely will never visit. The camera pans countrysides and cities for us, but do the contestants get to take in the view?
"We try our hardest to suck in every moment," Upton said. "We do as best as possible."
Horne agreed - but the race still came first.
"Whenever we're put in a competition situation, we react," he said. "At times we'd catch ourselves (and) we had to focus in.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Upton and Horne will be watching the show edits for the first time tonight. They couldn't divulge specifics about their experience (our interview had a governor), but one slipped: Yes, they are still together after appearing on a show that can make or break relationships.
It's Valentine's Day, so the question had to be asked.
"It's an incredible ride," Horne said. "Relationship-wise, it pushes you to the limit."
The couple are throwing a premiere party for family and friends.
"I'm so excited," Upton said.
Upton has experienced fame's spotlight and glare. Is Horne ready to step under the light?
"I think so," he said. "I'm not so used to having my name thrown out (in) the national media.
"It's pretty overwhelming."

This is a couple of weeks old, but I just stumpled upon it today:

Quote
Is The Amazing Race’s Caite Upton an amazing racist?

The only thing worse than needing advice from Miley Cyrus is not heeding it when you do. Former Miss Teen South Carolina Caitlin Upton became an internet sensation after seriously fumbling a question during the Miss Teen USA pageant in 2007. (The youtube video has been watched over 50 million times in its various forms.) The 20-year-old’s appearance on 16th season of The Amazing Race was to be her shot at redeeming herself, so you would think she would be a bit gun-shy about things like… making fun of Asian Pacific Islanders and Chinese people!

The article goes on for a while about Miley Cyrus afterwards.

According to what Jody put on facebook, The starcasm website has also taken photos from Jody and Shannon's personal facebook pages for an article featuring them. (Fun fact: Shannon's mothers name is apparently Kelly Kelly.)

Very much agree. It's one thing to voice an opinion, but its another to semi-stalk them in a shallow attempt to gain credibility.

News articles is news articles. Much the same way a bus is a bus is a bus. I'd hope the members here have more sense than to think I condone what they've written.

I think Brent and Caite broke up. Caite's FB status now says she is single. The Enquirer this week says they are no longer together. And I was looking at Facebook and they are no longer FB friended with each other!

So if they were right about that. Jordan hates Jeff's grey hair and does not like his age difference?

I wondered about this too, I tried to get on their AR Team page a couple of days ago and it seems to be gone.

Thanks for the article, Coutzy.

I was neutral about this team until I saw that picture.

Brent had a pre-planned surgery for his shoulder yesterday and had a major complication. While the surgery was taking place, they accidentally punctured his lung. They had to insert a chest tube to keep it inflated. Today, they were able to remove the tube and hours later, Brent was released from the hospital.

And then from a totally reliable source which I refuse to reveal and don't bother asking me or PMing me, Brent lied about his age......when the cast was revealed, he was stated as being 28, and he's actually 30.

He goes back in surgery next week to fix his shoulder since they messed up on Friday. He is recovering nicely from his punctured lung. Yup, he turns 31 on Nov 24th this year.

How can this be?  Forgive my ignorance, but I cannot believe Brent lied to Production about his age and that it wasn’t caught.  Granted,  background checks are probably not as thorough as one might expect, however, if for no other reason than they are ferrying people in/out of foreign countries, I can’t imagine WRP doesn’t complete even the most basic screening.  And come on, how hard is it to compare the age listed on the application to his Passport/DL/Birth Cert?  If it wasn’t caught, someone needs to be fired immediately.

I don’t remember what happened with Freddy/Kendra, heck that was 10 seasons ago, but my question in relation to Brent is this…if he did lie, why?  And in regards to WRP/CBS, assuming by the time they revealed Racer info they knew his true age, did they erroneously or intentionally misstate it?  An error is one thing, but purposely misstating the age is another...what could their motivation be?  I can think of a couple reasons, but really it’s just stupid and unnecessary.
