Kellor is the family ship between Kelly and Taylor in The Ridonculous Race fandom.
Canon[]
Overview[]
Kelly is the mother of Taylor. Taylor is the daughter of Kelly. Kelly tries to be a "cool mom" and act down with what's hip these days. Taylor does not see her mom as the young and cool woman she's trying to be and is always insulting her and putting her down. Taylor treats her mom like she is a piece of crap and Kelly mostly just indulges this kind of behavior. Kelly is filthy stinking rich so she can buy her daughter anything she wants. If Taylor destroys stuff and gets herself into trouble, Kelly doesn't care and just covers the expenses herself. This just allows Taylor to continue abusing her mom and getting away with it. Kelly just can't seem to bring herself to punish her perfect little angel and refuses to see her as the monster she is.
Season 1[]
NONE DOWN, EIGHTEEN TO GO PART - 1
Kelly and Taylor were introduced to the show as contestants on the "Mother and Daughter" team. Kelly bragged about how she was a "cool mom" who was so young and beautiful, that Taylor's friends often times forget she was even a mother. Taylor just filed her nails this whole time and rolled her eyes at her mom, knowing that this isn't true. Taylor was also shocked and appalled when Kelly said that some people even mistake them for sisters. Kelly and Taylor came in 12th place, just barely making it to the second flight to Morocco.
NONE DOWN, EIGHTEEN TO GO PART - 2
For the botch or watch challenge, Taylor unsurprisingly made Kelly botch. Kelly drank an entire bowl of three random Moroccan spices, giving her a horrible stomach ache. Taylor ran to the chill zone, with Kelly struggling to follow behind without barfing. Kelly and Taylor came in 13th place.
FRENCH IS AN EIFFEL LANGUAGE
Taylor drew a caricature of her mother looking like a monstrous creature, which scared the art critique. Kelly found this drawing to be complimentary and took the picture to give to her plastic surgeon. Kelly started to talk about how in college, she went to art school and Taylor shut her up, telling her to stop making everything all about herself. Kelly and Taylor came in 11th place.
MEDITERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES
Kelly worked on building a sandcastle all by herself, while Taylor did nothing and just sat there with her arms folded, staring daggers at her. In the end, Kelly and Taylor came in 10th place.
BJORKEN TELEPHONE
Kelly and Taylor crossed a field of geysers and had to repeat an Icelandic phrase to a local. Taylor didn't like how the geysers were ruining her dress so she told her mom to go back and do the challenge again, herself, while she waited. Kelly had to keep going back and forth a few times and Taylor nagged her for taking so long. When Kelly finally got the sentence right, Taylor wasn't even the slightest bit grateful and just took her so that they could finally get up and go.
When Kelly and Taylor made it to the chill zone, they also got a 1 hour time penalty because Taylor didn't go back to repeat the challenge with her mom. Taylor yelled at her mom, blaming her for their fallback, even though this was entirely her own fault. Kelly just laughed this off and said "Kids". When their time penalty finally ran out, they came in 13th place.
BRAZILIAN PAIN FOREST
Taylor finds herself admittedly impressed by Kelly's upper body strength, when the latter was crossing the gorge. Taylor also used her immense lungs to blow a travel tip out of the oven mitt full of bullet ants. Kelly brought up in the confessional how one time, Taylor held her breath for 7 minutes until she bought her a Malibu Bonnie Dreamhouse, only for Taylor to get bored of the overpriced piece of shit in a day and then throw it out. Kelly had a sweaty armpit from playing with coconuts and Taylor called her out for being so gross. Embarrassed, Kelly covered her pit stain with her travel tip. Kelly and Taylor actually performed pretty well together in this episode and they came in 3rd place, which was the best they had ever done yet.
A TISKET, A CASKET, I'M GUNNA BLOW A GASKET
Kelly and Taylor had little to no screentime and no dialogue. Nevertheless, they came in 5th place.
HAWAIIAN HONEYRUIN
Taylor annoyed her mom witless with even more cruel and unnecessary insults against her character. She said to Junior that he was lucky to be working with his dad and that she wished she could have done this game with her father instead of her mother. Kelly described Taylor as a "daddy's girl". Taylor dove into the water for the botch and watch and painfully belly-flopped, which came as a huge surprise to her because she was a professional diver. Kelly tries to repress the truth, when she says that the compliments that she got on her swimming as a kid might have been a "tad bit exaggerated".
Kelly later carries Taylor across a bed of hot coals and once they finally make it to the other side, they came in 12th place. After this whole ordeal, Kelly is aching in pain. Taylor yells and screams in her face about just how slow she was at carrying her and demands her to step up her game and be a professional gymnast like herself. This was enough to make Kelly finally snap and tell Taylor the truth. Kelly told Taylor that she was never a professional swimmer or gymnast or anything. All of the trophies she got as a kid were bought by her dad to make her feel better. I mean, what kind of trophy comes in the mail? This shattered Taylor's reality and Don stirred the pot by saying that the coals they just crossed were hot but that truth bomb was downright cold.
HELLO AND DUBAI
Taylor is still pissed off at her mom for what she did to her yesterday and Kelly tries to apologize to her. Taylor doesn't want to hear any of it and gives her mom a "time-out". Kelly tries to tell her that this isn't exactly how it works and Taylor holds her breath, making Kelly leave. Kelly sits on another seat of the plane and talks to Dwayne about the situation. Dwayne listens to the child horror stories involving Taylor, about just how terribly she misbehaved and how much she indulged her behavior. It was a total tip-off to hear that she allowed Taylor to drive when she was only 10 at least three times and crash all of those cars. Dwayne gave Kelly some good advice on how she needs to parent her kid better and set up some boundaries but this only offended Kelly and made her scream at him and splash water in his face for insulting her perfect angel of a little girl.
Taylor would continue to ship on her mom throughout the episode, pissing her off more and more as they went along. While they were cleaning the windows of the Burj Khalifa, Taylor stepped in some bird poop and wiped it on Kelly's dress. This was the final straw for her and Kelly grounded her daughter, taking Dwayne's advice after all. Kelly left Taylor hanging from the window cleaning platform and demanded an apology. Taylor protested at first but after a while, they realized that the chill zone was in the Dubai Gold Souk, which was a glorious shopping mall where everything was made out of solid gold. Kelly told Taylor that they could be shopping now and Taylor was brought to tears. Taylor then gave Kelly a half-assed apology, telling her mom that she's a total embarrassing loser but as long as she buys her expensive stuff, she can pretend she isn't. This was enough to make Kelly forgive her and she caught Taylor as she dropped back down to Earth.
Kelly and Taylor finally went down to the Dubai Gold Souk and went on a huge shopping spree, buying a bunch of frivolous garbage. However, they stupidly forgot to check in at the chill zone before going on their little shipping spree, so by the time they finally checked in, they came in 13th place. They were eliminated. As they walked off, Taylor told Kelly that she needs her to double her allowance and Kelly, now taking charge, told Taylor that she was cancelling her allowance, much to Taylor's shock.
A MILLION WAYS TO LOSE A MILLION DOLLARS
Kelly and Taylor showed up on the sidelines for when the finalists were on their ways to the final chill zone. Taylor seemed to be a little more respectful to her mom now, not insulting her or saying anything mean. All Taylor did was rant about how gross some of the challenges they missed were and how she was grateful they left the game when they did. Kelly laughed and said "That's my girl." It can be assessed that their relationship became a little better at this point, even if we didn't really get to see much of it.
Fanon[]
Kelly and Taylor are not a very well-favored family ship, due to how rude Taylor is to Kelly. Even when Taylor had her "redemption" in "Hello and Dubai", she was still very nasty and bitchy to her mom. It was also implied that they continued having problems after the elimination. However, since they got eliminated so early on and because they never really had many other meaningful interactions with, this is the most popular ship involving both parties.
