Kim just had a major panic attack that almost caused her to quit the race. In all of the podcasts/interviews that they have done the past couple of days she has been very complimentary of Penn. In the extra clips throughout the race she has often said she has the best partner and she was extremely supportive of Penn when he screwed up in London. I don’t know why some are so hung up on her not acting how they think she should act in a few minutes of edited footage. 
 

My nephew’s wife suffers from anxiety and I’ve seen first hand how it effects her and how the judgmental bull she hears from others makes her feel like less of a person.

We don’t know that she didn’t…editing can really change reality.

I just started listening to their race recaps on their podcast and on one (sorry, I don't remember which), Penn mentions that his "love language" is actually physical - hugs and kisses.  So whenever Kim stops to give him a hug or kiss on the race, that is her way of showing him that he is doing great and she loves him.  

It does seem to me like she is not as physically/verbally demonstrative so she makes sure to do this.   

My anxiety has gotten extreme at times over the past several years and I just shut down and need to be away from everyone.  So I get it.  And a lot of people do NOT understand.
