Dade Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Marcy and Ronald Biography Marcy Malloy (60); Ronald Shalita (59) Hometown: San Francisco Occupation: Advertising Photographer/Stock Trader & Math Tutor Relationship: Dating Marcy and Ron both believe that at 60 you can be strong, sexy, vibrant and energetic. They met one year ago on an online dating website and are looking forward to sharing the intense experience of the Race. They hope the Race will reinforce the strengths of their relationship and identify potential areas of conflict. Both are exceptionally fit, have great people skills and a high energy level. Marcy is not your typical 60-year-old; she attends flying trapeze classes, studies Kung Fu and rock climbs with Ron. To keep pace with Marcy, Ron is in the gym lifting weights, running, swimming or kickboxing. After being selected for the Race, he found a new physical challenge in a course that allowed him to confront his fears of heights. Marcy is a nationally recognized advertising photographer, while Ron spends his mornings as a high-volume day trader and his afternoons as a math tutor. They both have traveled extensively and Marcy speaks several languages. Ron is personable and extroverted. Trained as a lawyer, he is cautious and likes to take his time to think things through while Marcy is spontaneous, impulsive and easily distracted. Marcy finds balance in Ron's pragmatism and calmness. While he likes to process his thoughts, she prefers to tackle problems head-on. Both are concerned about their different approaches to problem solving, but believe the Race will give them greater insights. CBS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ElleNaturelle Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 They might be the first "dating" team I'll actually like and cheer for! So far I love what I'm reading. I also think they're the cutest pair ever!! She looks fantastic and reminds me of some comedian whose name I can't recall (Sandra??)... and he looks like that guy who created Seinfeld whose name I can't recall either (Larry???).

ZuZuMamou Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Sandra Berhardt and Larry David? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElleNaturelle Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I dont think that's the sandra i'm thinking about. It may not even be a sandra. There's just a famous chick who looks like her. Larry David, idk, is that the guy from Curb Your Enthusiam? If so, then yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarB Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I hope I look that good at 60! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erinjs Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 the language thing will definitely help them out, I am sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scifichick Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I think i'm going to like them too. I hope they rock! She reminds me of Sandra Riomato (sp) of Property Virgins on HGTV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarB Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 ^^^OH she does. I really like her, so hopefully there is a similarity in personality too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jersey721 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Could be my favorite team. I usually hate the old farts (being one myself, go figure), but these guys look like they can represent and give the young guns a run for their money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BBinSavannah Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 She was so annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 People can get annoying when they get older. LOL I am still rooting for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superstaaar Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 wow...I still can't believe she is 60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erinjs Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I found her annoying in the first half, not so much the second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
l1zz1e Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 yeah, annoying the son asked me what I thought they talked about on their first date. I told him I doubted they talked at all, why else would he have gone back for a second date, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
symanticc Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 it seems i only saw them in the second half when the hit the mat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Oh Well... they let me down. bye bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mendes56 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 They spent too much time looking at signs before asking for help with the word. People need to read all the entire TAR instructions twice to make sure they don't waste time! Not sorry to see them go, they were not as entertaining to me as others.

erinjs Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Not sad to see them go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
symanticc Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i wonder if her father joined or had a low draft number? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BBinSavannah Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I believe she said he was a general so don't think it matters how he got there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
