How do you rate their Race overall?

"If it comes down to us having to backstab and lie and cheat to win, it ain't worth it." - David

Team Bio:
[Full bio at CBS.com.] From Stone, Kentucky, this coal miner and his wife were audience favorites in Season 10. As much as they viewed the Amazing Race 10 as a competition, they are remembered as seeing the race as an opportunity to travel and meet people. However, for the All-Stars, they realize they can't be as helpful as they were to other racers in Season 10.

David claims that his biggest accomplishment is being the first person in his family to get his boss papers. He is more adventurous than Mary, and claims that his biggest phobias are spiders and deep water.

Mary believes that the greatest difference between her and her husband is that she is more cautious. She experienced her first cab ride, train ride, boat ride and subway rides on the show.

Since we last saw them:
Life went back to normal. David and Mary went home to their kids, but then they visited New York to go on the Early Show. The were mobbed by people that recognized them from the Amazing Race. They loved the attention and are ready to bring their "A-game," to win the All-Stars.

Their Biggest Strengths:

• They don't hold grudges. (Yes, they do! How about them lying to the BQ's right from the 1st leg? They wanted them out of the Race ASAP!)
• They have been together for a long time. (But, they, themselves admit that being together 24-7 has been VERY hard 'cuz they never had to before.)
• They are "starstruck" (also a weakness). -- (It's MORE of a weakness!)

Their Biggest Roadblock:
No novice team who would agree to an alliance with them (or any other team, for that matter). They're all "experienced" now!

Advice to the Team:
Just be yourself. People liked you in TAR 10 for you just being good, honest, hardworking, decent people. Don't trust everyone that you meet--there are many deceptive people out there--even if you have been their "fans" for years.

All-Star Quotes:

Season 11, Episode 3: I'm Sorry I'm Wearing a Bathing Suit. It is Very Weird, I Know
Mary: “David don’t never touch fish, he’s afraid of fish.”
David: “I’m from Kentucky, I’m not a water person period. Lakes, rivers, fishing, kayaking… I don’t never do none of it. This is something I’ve never liked… is fish.”

Mary: “I can’t do a 40-foot rock climb!! Ug… God!”
Mary: “I’m not a thrills and chills kind of lady.”

Mary: “Hoo, I can’t swim and I was listening to that captain. If you don’t paddle, you fall in… and to me that’s die.”

Mary: “Charla’s shoes were in my tent. I’d love to meet ‘em and beat ‘em”

Most Memorable Moments with David and Mary:

1. So much for not "backstabbing, cheating and lying." (See quote above). Their first opportunity, at the airport in Miami, they flat-out lied to Dustin and Kandice to try to get them on the later flight (just like them). They couldn't change their flight, so, they didn't want the Beauty Queens to have an advantage over them.
2. On Season 10, they were in last place on Leg 5, but on Leg 6, they won the fiery Fast Forward on Leg 6 to get 1st.
