Michael
and Kathy met a year and a half ago in Cancun, Mexico.
They have kept in touch and maintained a long-distance
dating relationship; however, they have never spent
more than five days together at a time. Their primary
motivation for going on the Race is to see how compatible
they are as a couple.
What struck
Kathy about Michael were the provocative questions
he asked her on their last night in Cancun, when they
spent 12 hours together talking and getting to know
one another. This was enough to prove to Kathy that
Michael is a genuine person worthy of maintaining
a long-distance friendship.
Kathy and
Michael are polar opposites. Kathy is more high-strung
under pressure and Michael is very laid back. Michael
describes himself as unconventional, amusing and dark,
while Kathy describes herself as moody, caring and
oversensitive. They both agree that their different
personalities complement each other well.
Michael
has done quite a bit of traveling throughout Mexico,
England, France, Holland, Spain and Canada, while
Kathy has been to Mexico, the Philippines and Canada.
The most important item in his backpack is his CD
player, because he feels that music will change any
mood into a good one. Her most valuable item is her
journal.
Michael
resides in San Diego and lives with his cat, Tig.
His birth date is May 30. Kathy lives in Birmingham,
Michigan. Her birth date is December 4.
