Team two was a sister team. They were Jan and Mandy from Pennsylvania. Team three was a stepfather and stepson team. They were David and Brandon from Atlanta, Georgia. The goal was to get as much water into the partner’s container through the funnel on their heads in 30 seconds. Michael said one was just squirting the partner because he was just mad at him.

She said she’s a Biblical character. Kelly said she looks good, but Rhea said she wants to do a handstand and get a staple gun. All of her friends are “so middle aged.” They talk about all of their problems, but Rhea says she has to call them back because she’s coloring and watching Dora. All her friends are also getting their dream cars now, and she’s getting a minivan. Kelly’s friend got spinners on her minivan.
Kelly & Michael: Sabrina Fandom
Rhea loves New York in the summer because it’s full of tourists that grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch. A kid came up to her and said that he grew up watching her. She said it was sweet, but made her feel old because he was bald. She said that Sabrina was on everywhere, which is good because she gets big checks. Some Irish girls came up to her and she couldn’t spell their names.
