Jeff and Jordan on 'The Amazing Race': 'It's a totally different game'

by Lynette Rice
Categories: Big Brother, Reality TV, Television


Apparently, it took CBS all of three days after the Big Brother 11 finale last September to approach Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder about competing in the 16th edition of The Amazing Race, which premieres Feb. 14. Despite attempts by fans to blow the lid off their latest endeavor, Lloyd and Schroeder couldn’t talk about their participation until now — and they’re not ashamed to admit they’ve watched about as much AR as they have BB. Which is to say, they almost never tuned in before agreeing to hit the race course. “We thought we were going to coast through it like BB, you know, like ‘oh we never saw this before’ and Jordan is like, ‘I never watched BB so I can do this, too,’” Schroeder tells EW. “But it’s a totally different game.”
Ya think? 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. Lloyd has since moved back to North Carolina, where she resumed her job as a receptionist at a hair salon, while Schroeder is back in Chicago, Ill. where he returned to his sales gig in advertising (the couple made a brief appearance on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful in October). “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.”

I am such a punk for romance, but I just love Jeff & Jordan...Regardless if they won or not, it may some other teams I like more than them, but I am going to love watching them and I really hope we don't hear in a few months they are broken up, like most showmances.......

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!

'The Amazing Race 16': five reasons to tune in

February 12, 2010 | 7:00
am




It's
no small feat that "The Amazing Race" is set to launch its 16th season
this weekend, likely thanks in part to the strength of its casting
("Big Brother" contestants notwithstanding), its far-flung locales and
its eyebrow-raising host, Phil Keoghan.
All three elements return for the season premiere of "The Amazing
Race," which airs Sunday night on CBS. Rather sadly, it's only a
one-hour season opener this time around, but it's filled with so many
jaw-dropping moments and gasp-inducing lines of dialogue that you'll
want to cancel your Valentine's Day plans to stay home and watch. (Or,
at the very least, set your DVR in advance.)
Still debating about whether or not to join Phil and friends for
another race around the world? Here are five reasons why you must tune
in on Sunday.
Mapquest: Yes, it's sad but true that this
cycle's batch of contestants seem to have either been sleeping through
class or didn't bother to turn up at all. (Or the educational system is
even worse off than we thought.) Twenty-year-old Caite Upton, best
known as the former Miss South Carolina in the Miss Teen USA pageant,
says that she wants to overcome the embarrassing flub she made during
the 2007 pageant when she stated that "I believe that our, uh,
education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere
like such as ... " (The response was to a question about maps.) Putting
aside maps, she and her partner, fellow model Brent Horne, have trouble
in the first leg simply reading and following the clues appropriately
and fail to realize that they've made a major error on their first day.
Meanwhile, former "Big Brother" contestants Jordan Lloyd and Jeff
Schroeder have their own problems to contend with as Jordan seems to
have never heard of the country Chile and repeatedly — to Jeff and even
to airline counter personnel — refers to the South American country as
"China." (Wow.)








Clueless contestants: It doesn't stop there.
Brothers/cowboys Jet and Cord McCoy (yes, these are their real names)
exchange money at LAX ... for Brazilian currency, believing it to be
the "closest" to Chilean money. And one team — I'm not saying which one
— mistakenly begin to paint the inside of someone's home when they fail
to pay attention to their clue, much to the amusement of the
professional construction workers and painters inside attempting to
renovate this home.
Texas Hold'Em: I haven't been able to stop
chuckling over the aforementioned cowboy brothers Jet and Cord. Despite
their inability to select the proper currency for Chile, they have a
true Texas cowboy approach to just about everything in life. Even when
faced with setbacks, these two have an aw-shucks reaction that's
infinitely as amusing as it is sweet. Even when climbing across cables
150 feet above Santiago, their gentlemanly nature can't help but shine
through as they make small talk with fellow contestants. I'm curious to
see if behind their dimpled exterior lies the beating hearts of true
competitors.
Exotic locations: The first leg of this cycle takes
the racers to such exotic locations as Santiago, Chile, and the
oft-rumored-but-rarely-seen Los Angeles subway system, as teams must
find their own way to LAX using public transportation, much to the
shock and horror of several contestants, including Angelenos Carol
Rosenfeld and Brandy Snow. While some opt for the flyaway from Union
Station, others attempt to take the subway. In both cases, they are
proof positive as to why Angelenos love their cars so darn much.
Iron-pumping granny: Yes, there is an actual
triathalon-running, iron-pumping grandmother in the race this season.
Meet 71-year-old Jody Kelly, who is racing with her granddaughter
Shannon Foster. Among her goals, Jody lists, "Finish a half Ironman
triathlon. Finish a full marathon. Publish another book. Motivate
people to become active. Climb more Colorado mountains. Walk the
Appalachian Trail. Go trekking in Norway. Bicycle through the
Netherlands. Develop a TV show featuring elderly athletes." At a time
when more and more people are leaning toward non-active lifestyles,
Jody's grit and determination to outdo people 50 years younger is
refreshing and inspirational. While I'd be surprised if this team lasts
in the race more than a few legs, I have to say that I'm extremely
impressed by her spirit and can-do attitude about tackling anything
that the race throws her way. After all, she is the oldest person to
ever participate in "The Amazing Race."
I don't want to spoil the rest of the fun season opener, but I hope
that you'll join the latest batch of "TAR" contestants in painting the
town red this Valentine's Day as these teams set off on yet another
race around the world. See you at the Pit Stop.

Jeff & Jordan: Up next, our own reality show!










CBS doesn't typically allow cross-pollution between their reality
shows -- you'll never see "Survivor's" Russell on "Undercover Boss."
But every now and then, the network sees something special in a duo
(like Rob & Amber) brought together by fate (or the CBS casting
department) and gives them another chance to go for the gold.

Such is the case with Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd. This Sunday
the "Big Brother XI" sweethearts will trade their slop passes for
passports when "The Amazing Race" waves its green flag on another
exciting season. And since I was straight up obsessed with these two
for the last half of 2009, I had a million questions.

Are you still together? Why come back to reality TV? Did Jeff ever
take Jordan on that Hawaiian vacation he won on "BB"? Turns out, I'm
not the only one.

PopWrap: Catch us up on what you've been doing since "Big Brother" ended.

Jeff Schroeder: Everything's good with me and Jordan. We've seen
each other a lot since "Big Brother" and doing this show let us be
together more since we both still live in different cities. So right
now we're just taking it day by day.

PW: How does it work with being so far apart?

Jeff: She likes to Skype, so we do that all the time.

PW: So when I asked my readers what they wanted to know
about you two, the overwhelming question was, did they go on the Hawaii
trip together. So, did you?

Jeff: Man, everyone loves that question! We didn't go to Hawaii --
but we're planning a trip to Antigua, which I think trumps Hawaii
anyway. We're gonna stay in a tiki hut.

PW: Is that the number one question you're asked by fans?

Jordan Lloyd: People love that question.
Jeff: Also, "are you guys still together?" But they'll ask it when I'm standing right next it her, so that's a weird one.
Jordan: People also ask if there will be a Jeff and Jordan show.

PW: Will there be one?

Jeff: I don't have the answer to that ... but we are still together and didn't go to Hawaii [laughs].






PW: What made you sign up for another reality show?

Jordan: I wanted to do "The Amazing Race" because I've never
traveled and knew I wouldn't just up and go to another country by
myself. I knew it would be the experience of a lifetime and I'm so glad
I got to do it with Jeff.
Jeff: My passion is traveling, so it was a no-brainer for me when I was approached to go around the world with Jordan.

PW: Have you guys gone back and watched "BB?"

Jeff: I haven't. But Jordan has.
Jordan: I haven't watched
everything, I've seen a lot. But it made me mad. I couldn't believe I
was so naive about certain people. Especially when they showed what
people were saying in the diary room. It was like, "oooh, that's what
they were saying about me!"

PW: I ask because they certainly showed both of you having a
lot of blonde moments, so do you think other racers underestimated you
because of that?

Jeff: I don't know how many other teams even knew who we were at
the start. Some also might not want to have admitted they did. But
eventually our personalities came out and the teams became more
receptive to working with us and being our friends.

PW: Was that a strategy, working with other teams?

Jordan: We were open to working with other teams if they were
willing to work with us. In the beginning we felt very shut out by the
other teams.
Jeff: I don't know if we put out a bad vibe or they were jealous, but ...
Jordan: It didn't feel like they wanted to work with us. So we just decided to work on our own and not worry about them.
Jeff:
It was the same way in the "BB" house, we depended on each other and
didn't need anyone else. We were used to people not wanting to work
with us after "BB," but we would have liked a little help along the way.






PW: When you guys were on the starting line, did any of the teams intimidate you?

Jordan: Mike and Lou are big guys!
Jeff: They look intimidating,
but you can't focus on that. You never know what's coming and size
could be their downfall. I get into a weird mentality where I'm really
worry about myself since I'm my biggest obstacle in a lot of cases.

PW: Was there one country you were hoping to visit on this "Race"?

Jeff: I've always wanted to go to Australia.
Jordan: I'd say Scotland.
Jeff: Man, she just pulled that one out of nowhere!
Jordan: [laughs] I didn't really care, I just wanted to go somewhere different.

PW: Compare the two shows: which is harder?

Jordan: They're hard in such different ways.
Jeff: "Big Brother" is like running a long race, "Amazing Race" is like doing a lot of super stressful sprints.
Jordan: I'd say working together on the race was harder for me. Jeff gets so mad at me sometimes.

PW: So do you think this is your last reality show, or might you pop up on "Survivor"?

Jeff: I'd like to make a guest appearance on "Man vs. wild." I love that guy!
Jordan: I wouldn't do any other shows ... unless it was a Jeff & Jordan show! It probably won't happen though.
Jeff: Anything is possible!

LETS THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!! BRING IT!!!

Big Brother’s Jeff and Jordan Take On The Amazing Race

February 12, 2010


They capped off their inexplicable run on Big Brother with Jordan Lloyd emerging as the season 11 champ and Jeff Schroeder taking home the prize as America’s Favorite Player. But before the ink was even dry on their BB checks, America’s reality sweethearts signed on to compete in the 16th edition of CBS’s The Amazing Race, which starts Feb. 14. With 11 other teams, eight countries and five continents standing between them and the ultimate prize, the couple who hadn’t even had a chance to take a vacation together faced a whole new set of obstacles. Jeff, 31, and Jordan, 22, sat down with PEOPLE to talk about their new challenge. – Reagan Alexander
Were you fans of the Amazing Race before signing on?
Jordan: It’s kind of funny. I’ve been part of two reality shows and I had never watched either one before. I had to YouTube it, just like I did with Big Brother and figure out what everything meant, like ‘detour,’ ‘roadblock’, and all that other stuff.
Jeff: I had watched it a couple of times, but I wasn’t a die-hard fan.

Did your experience together on BB help you, or hurt you?
Jeff: I think it helped us, and played to our strengths. I’m sure that brothers and sisters, or mothers and daughters had issues after a week of being together non-stop. What was a strain on other teams was a positive for us; we didn’t have to worry about being together all of the time, we were already use to it.
Did traveling together put too much strain on you two, or do you think that it actually made you stronger?
Jeff: It was definitely a strain…
Jordan: (interrupting) I think it made us stronger!
Jeff: (laughs) Let me finish. It was definitely a strain on the relationship, but it definitely made us stronger. The fact that we went through the hard times that we did is a testament to our relationship. This show really pushed us to the max, and it was tough, but we’re still a couple, we’re still here, and it show’s a lot that we’re still together.
Do you think you two are lucky that you made it through this without going for each other’s throats?
Jordan: (laughs) I think the main problem was that I was too laid back about things, because I’m not that competitive, and Jeff is so competitive. We didn’t really meet in the middle, so it went from one extreme to another.
Jeff: I need to turn it down, and she needs to turn it up, (laughs) but there were moments when I did want to strangle her, and I’m sure there were times where she wanted to kill me.
Was there ever a point where things got so hard that you two almost threw in the towel?
Jeff: There was one point, but as much as we joke around about strangling each other, and argue, we were never, ever going to throw in the towel. We were never going to quit by any means. I don’t think it was ever an option for either one of us.
Jordan: Yeah, but it was the only time though. It was the worst ever, and I was about to cry but I didn’t want to look like a baby.
If you had a choose between slop for a month, and a Race food challenge, which would you take?
Jordan: I’d eat slop. Before we went in, I told Jeff that I would do all the height challenges, because he’s kind of scared of heights, but that he had to eat all of the gross stuff. I can’t stand anything fishy, or oily, and I can’t eat a bug, and I know that Jeff will do it.
Jeff: I would take care of eating weird stuff, but if there was something that had to be jumped off of,(laughs) it was going to be Jordan.
You two went from being locked in a house for three months with a bunch of lunatics to traversing 5 continents and eight countries in a race against other cutthroat teams. Are you two just gluttons for punishment?
Jeff: (laughs) No, but I look at it as an amazing story, how Jordan and I met, and how things have been working out between us. It’s definitely something to tell the grandkids type of story, and hopefully things keep working out the way they have, because as crazy as it’s been, it’s a serious relationship. I love the way things are and I wouldn’t trade it or change it for anything.
Jordan, when Jeff says that it’s a story, ‘to tell the grandkids,’ what goes through your mind?
Jordan: (laughs) That he’s being nice today, he’s being real sweet! Normally when I talk like that he’s like, ‘Jordan, take it easy!’

JORDEFF DOMINATION!! <333333333333

I am so proud of J/J making to the pit stop first.........

Good Job J/J!!! I like pretty much all the teams so far nobody really bugged me yet lol.

Big Congrats to J and J for finishing first in the first leg! Very nice. It was a lot of fun watching them compete last night.....I hope they make it deep into the game.

There were some pretty funny moments in last nights show....the brothers Dan and Jordan were cracking me up...not sure what the gay brothers name is but I thought his impression of the Miss teen SC was hilarious!
When Jeff and Jordan were boarding the flight to Chile, Jeff's remark to Jordan "Jordan, have you ever been out of the country before? Do you have any illegal plants or fruits on you?" vintage Jeff and I missed that...a lot!

I felt bad for Adrian but kind of knew that was going to happen. I questioned their decision to have him do this task. It did buy the grandma another week on the show and while I admire her determination, her days are numbered and I would be surprised if she made it through next week. My favorite team so far is, of course, J and J. After that, there isn't much to root for. I do like the brothers and I guess the father/daughter team is ok. I remember last season I liked a lot of teams from the start and that dwindled. Maybe this season will be the opposite. All and all, TAR rules and did NOT disappoint!
