Ages: 49, 40
Occupations: Director of artists' colony, radio news director
Hometowns: Louisville, Ky.
Relationship: Married parents
"We come
across as a sweet, loving couple, but we're not!" Debra,
49, has two grown kids from a previous marriage. They've
been married 8½ years, after meeting on a coed softball
team Debra "started in order to meet single men."
She holds a BA from Northeastern University, an MA from
the University of Oklahoma, and is currently director of
an artist's colony. Debra considers herself "bawdy,
outgoing and driven," and enjoys walking, painting
and traveling. She has struggled with depression after the
recent and untimely deaths of her parents, aunts and uncles,
best man and maid of honor, who "drove off the I-40
bridge to their deaths." She's afraid of "heights
and dark waters," and sometimes has trouble with her
husband/teammate's devotion to his work: she gets jealous.
Debra blows off steam by cleaning the house, and admits
that she can be a "controlling and dominating know-it-all."
She speaks no foreign languages, but has traveled to France,
Mexico and Canada. She refuses to eat fish, according to
Steve. She's outgoing and pushes boundaries, while Steve
is more cautious and reserved, and "always follows
the rules." Says Debra, "I raised money for opera
in Oklahoma. I think I can do anything."
"We can
be sneaky, snide and devious," says Steve, 40, a radio
news director. He jokingly claims that he met Debra through
"The Great Softball Conspiracy" perpetrated by
his wife, but considers their wedding the most exciting
moment of his life. His wife/teammate reminds him of Bonnie
Hunt. Steve holds a BA from the University of Scranton.
He describes himself as "fun, smart and deceptive,"
but regrets that "sometimes I let opportunities slip
through my hands." Steve speaks no foreign languages
and has traveled to Canada, Mexico, France, Germany and
Belgium. He counts "people skills" among his finer
traits.
