Changes: Kellie & LaVonne

Latest revision as of 17:12, 5 December 2023

Kellie Wells-Brinkley and LaVonne Idlette are a team of Former Olympic Hurdlers on The Amazing Race 32.

Kellie & LaVonne struggled throughout their short time in the race, often finding themselves languishing near the back of the pack. They again found themselves at the back at the start of the second leg, which was compounded having a poor taxi driver, dropping them to last. Despite this, they had one last chance to avoid elimination but were the last team to finish assembling their volqueta, resulting in their elimination in 10th place.
