HEART OF KENTUCKY
After brothers Erwin & Godwin snagged fourth place, friends and allies Mary and Lyn were resigned to battle each other searching for stamps to avoid elimination. With the thirty-minute penalty looming over her, Mary managed to complete the Roadblock ahead of Lyn and arrived at the Pit Stop where an anxious David waited. The nervous pair began serving their penalty at the mat, dreading that either they, or their friends, would be eliminated. After finding the last stamp, a frustrated Lyn shouted at her taxi driver when he needed to stop for gas. In the end, however, Lyn stepped onto the mat with her partner Karlyn in fifth place as David & Mary still had almost twenty minutes remaining on their penalty.
Now stepping on the mat in last place, coal miner and wife David & Mary received the bad news from Phil that they had been eliminated from the race. On his wife, David remarked, "I couldn't have done nothing on this race without Mary. She's hung with me. She's done everything I've done and I'm proud of her." On her good friends, a tearful Lyn noted, "This has been the first of everything for them and I just relish in their spunk and their spirit. I just appreciate the spirit of who there are." A reflective Mary closed, saying, "The race has made me appreciate where I'm from. Kentucky is who we are. I love my little place in the world, but it's also made me appreciate the fact that I don't need to be stuck in one place, that I need to get out and take my kids to see the world. It's a whole new book. It's not a new chapter in the same old life. It's a new book." |
