Jeff and Jordan Survive Week 2 of the Amazing Race

Last week was a great start for the Big Brother team, as Jeff and Jordan finished in first place on the first leg of The Amazing Race.  This week the duo had a bit more of a struggle, with teams taking various routes to complete the tasks.  While there was more of a struggle this week, Jeff and Jordan still finished in 6th place, and kept the great Jeff and Jordan humor all along the way.  Things are heating up on the race, so here's to hoping our Big Brother reps can go all the way.  For the full report of this weeks show, check out the full review of The Amazing Race 16 week 2.

Jeff and Jordan in First Place After Week 1 of The Amazing Race

Big Brother fans who tuned in to week one of The Amazing Race 16 got to see Big Brother 11's own Jeff and Jordan take the lead right off the bat, as they finished the first week of the race in 1st place.  Jeff and Jordan worked well together as they figured out clues that lead them all the way to Chile, completing travel tasks and other challenges, beating out all the other teams.  Jeff and Jordan were listed as "newly dating," which once again verifies that Jeff and Jordan are together.  The hilarity between the 2 from Big Brother carried over to The Amazing Race, as Jordan confused Chile with China a few times.  The duo were the first to arrive at the airport for the first challenge, but a delayed flight almost set them back, but luckily all the teams ended up on the same flight which put them at a level playing field again.  Jeff and Jordan made quite an impact, and we'll be cheering them on as they make it all the way to the end.  For the full detailed report, check out the blog post Amazing Race 16 Week 1 Review.

Interview with Jeff and Jordan about The Amazing Race

We are only a little more than 1 week away from Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother 11 kicking off the 16th season of The Amazing Race.  The popular duo did an interview with EW.com, which confirmed once again that Jeff and Jordan are still together, although they still live in separate states, but Jeff mentions one of them will have to move.  Beyond that, the interview features some classic Jeff and Jordan back and forth and humor that we Big Brother fans are used to.  Here is an excerpt from the interview:

"The former Big Brother 11 contestants and couple are back at it again on The Amazing Race 16, and not much has changed because she still can’t tell time. “There were moments like my asking what time we have to be there and her refusing to learn what ‘a quarter till’ is,” says Jeff Schroeder. “A third grader knows what ‘a quarter till’ is. Can you learn it? Maybe in the next couple of days?” And the two of them aren’t doing much on-camera canoodling. “We’re not being so lovey-dovey, which is what everybody wants us to be,” says Jordan Lloyd. “There was one point when I was mad at him and he was mad at me. He was ready to strangle me.”


The couple can’t give discuss specifics, though Lloyd recalls having some concerns about the show’s physical demands. “I don’t like to work out. Everybody knows that. If I work out one day, I want to see results and so yeah I was worried,” she says. “Though I was more so worried about having to eat a bug or something. I would rather Jeff eat a bug than me.” When asked if the two ever got hurt, Schroeder would only say, “We are in perfect health right now.”

And apparently, so is their relationship. Though the couple definitely had their share of spats on the course, Schroeder insists their bond remains strong. “To throw a couple into a stressful situation like this, you are going to see different sides to both people,” says Schroeder. “We definitely didn’t stray from who we are. We got along, we got through it and we’re still together. It made us stronger, I think.” And now their goal is to eventually end up in the same state. “This is the longest we’ve gone without being together,” says Schroeder. “One of us has to move … I’m not saying anyone’s getting engaged though, anything like that.”
