Kim and Leslie met when they became roommates four years ago. Since then, these single teachers have traveled together many times. For The Amazing Race, they'll make a good Team because Leslie is left-brained and Kim is right-brained, and they share a motto: "work hard, play harder."

I wish they could have stayed in for longer as unlike the some of the other teams (Pat/Brenda) I think they provided some real entertainment. From fighting with Amie to saying the word stupid about 500 times in only two episodes, I reckon they where great and a highly memorable team. I wish they could have stayed in longer and made it to at least the top 6 or 7.
