TAR18: Kent Kaliber & Vyxsin Fiala (dating)
georgiapeach:
Those events have been explained by others elsewhere though.
The cab guy was a drunk sleeping in the back, the driver asked them to get him out.
Kent had apparently showed Gary where the park was already...they had agreed to split after the last holy man was found.
See...editing is a big factor in playing on your emotions and hyping drama. Oddly enough, it is not always REALITY.

I think they (the editors) are not getting a lot of material for the designated baddies this season, so K/V are getting edited to fit the gap, a fact made even easier by the fact that people seem to hold a grudge on anyone that uses a U-Turn.
In Australia, even though they bickered amongst themselves once, could not have been nicer to locals and other teams. They were one of the most recognised teams (if not the most) and they took the time to say hello to people who recognized them. At one point Vyxsin even said in a confessional-type moment "It's hard, because they're like "Vyxsin! Vyxsin!" and you can't stop to chat with them."

I understand that; I just meant that these are reasons why some people have disliked K/V this season. I should've been a lot clearer though :lol:
edit: Just going to add, I definitely think they're getting a bad edit this season. TAR needed a villain once Jaime/Cara were eliminated!

Ok, I went to the K/V party. If it hadn't been for georgiapeach giving me a shove and passing on a lovely note though, I would have dilly dallied and not gone. So I'm writing this report for peach as promised! (Also it's amusing how comments are hate hate hate and K is just LOVE YOU ALL and waltzes off) so here is a positive but
Verbose Report.
So as it was, I was in a state of high anxiety when I walked in. The hostess took me to the amazing race section, but she didn't know what to do with me when I informed her I was there by myself. I was considering fleeing when Kent magically appeared out of nowhere like a magical pink zebra hoodie clad being, murmured some soothing words, and went to find me a seat. Well, he got me a really good one in front of the big tv and he put me with some of his goth friends (I think). I got a puzzled look or two, but hey, TAR embraces diversity.
And he only heard my name once, mumbled inarticulately, because I was dazed!, but he remembered it for the rest of the evening. And he came by to check on me too. peach was right in saying they really go out of their way to make sure everyone is ok. Unfortunately I turn into a maximum uncool spaz in K/V's vicinity.
They passed out tickets (various cute pics of K/V) for the prize drawings, which were during commercials. K/V were both really cheerful and friendly. K is adorable, and perches on things. V is a statuesque beauty.
After the episode concluded, K/V signed pics for everyone and posed for photos. The Amazing Race clue card they whip out for photos is somewhat battered, I am afraid. Phil should give them a new one!
I didn't get a chance to talk to Vyxsin as much, but she is so, so nice. I asked her about the sharks and expressed fumbling admiration of Kent's scientific knowledge (bc that periodic table moment still kicks ass). K added a note when he signed my pic , bc he is a sweetheart. I vaguely recall K asking me whether I was glad I had come after all and kissing my hand (!!) and asking if I'd met Caite (minus Brent) and pulling me over to meet her. It was all kind of a heady TAR blur. (& Caite is a peach, really. she said she was invited to all-stars, but turned it down)
Oh, and my first photo with K/V was a failure, but they could not have been nicer about posing for another one. "Of course!" "We'll be here all night!" ... K/V will overwhelm you with kindness in a society where basic courtesy is increasingly rare! And they're huggers. And apparently give talks to kids at school.
So. I had fun. Thank you, peach, and K and V! Mwah!
But yeah, I don't know how they managed to move that couch in Vienna. :js:
georgiapeach:
I am SO glad you went and that you had fun!! I hear that their parties are a blast, so glad you got to experience one!
Many thanks for sharing with us!
And remember that Kent was moving that couch with a cracked rib from the dinosaur task...he could have been screaming from the pain!
