I caught that and attributed it to his just being a 'doof'. Now, I have much respect for his service to our country and my dad had friends who were WWII POWs, and that only increases my respect for him. I cannot begin to fathom what a POW experiences.
Yet Ron does lack in the social graces, at least when it comes to Kelly. I just don't think they are a good match and I hope they can remain civil the remainder of their time on the show! lol
As far as her 'redneck hick' remark, or whatever it was, I was able to forgive that because her level of frustation was obvious and understandable due to the lack of chemistry between them. She's tried really hard, but Ron just isn't the guy for her. What makes Romber such a good team (soulmates) is what is hurting Relly (not even a spark). IMHO, of course!
Agree, Rob and Amber are soulmates. An excellent match. It's interesting to watch the way they relate to each other, always in harmony. They each have a strong desire to be #1, and together they're a real powerhouse. If they lose TAR7, it won't be for lack of giving it their best.
