In 2010, former Auburn cheerleader Krista Klumpp fell short of becoming the ultimate Survivor. But blonde Auburn ambition is returning to CBS this fall in the form of the lovely Caitlin King and Brittany Fletcher.
The former romantic rivals turned best friends (thanks in part to King dating Fletcher’s brother, a former Auburn baseball player) have just been announced as cast members for the upcoming season of The Amazing Race.
King, 24, is a former Auburn Soccer standout and currently a early childhood special education teacher. Fletcher, 25, graduated from Auburn in 2009 and currently works in medical sales.
“We didn’t know each other, but we didn’t like each other,” King says in one of the shows promo videos. “We were always, like, after each others’ boys.”
Now they’re tag-teaming a race to a million dollars.
“The nice thing about Caitlin and I that’s great, we’ve never been the kind to hold grudges,” Fletcher says. “We forget and forgive and move on.”
Watch them move on Sept. 30 at 7 pm CST on CBS.

This isn’t the same Brittany Fletcher that Lutz is dating, is it?
It’s her sister.
Hope they’ll place better than the first AU couple that was on a few seasons ago…
It should be interesting to see what these girls can do. There are already bets going on around my office at Dish for the strongest team, and my money is on these ladies! I wish the show didn’t air on Sundays because that is my husband’s football night, but luckily we have the Hopper DVR, which lets us record up to six things, so at least I won’t have to fight with him for the remote. This season sounds better than ever!
This is the kind of behavior you are so proud of showcasing on national TV? If this is how people from Auburn treat others, I thank God I live far away. Absolutely disgraceful. You can keep these “gorgeous” people, we don’t need them anywhere near us. So happy they were eliminated after that shameful display of bad sportsmanship.
