What a sweet couple, at least they won't come somewhere near an atrocious bickering team.
And what a way to get eliminated! I don't think the producers had to cut down on cost so much this leg that they aren't even giving teams any money for this race? :groan:
puddin:
I would for sure vote them back onto the Amazing Race along with Anita & Arthur as well as all the first eliminated teams from all seasons!

All but Ari & Staella, right? Staella was okay, but I'd prefer never to see Ari again.
And if all first-outs did come back, I'm sure Reggie and Kim would back without the dead weights known as Kenneth and Austin.
As for these two, I'd take them back ONLY if they didn't win.

‘The Amazing Race 14′: Exit interview with Preston & Jennifer
What part of the trip did you enjoy the most from a travel perspective?
Preston & Jennifer: When we were taking the train from Locarno to Interlaken. Going around the lake and up into the mountains. It was 2.5 hours or longer train ride. It was amazing — the most scenic part of the trip.
After the runaway cheese incident, Christi & Jodi were in last place. What happened for them to get ahead of you?
Preston & Jennifer: We had a good 30-minute lead. Went to the Pit Stop but we didn’t have enough money to pay for the taxi. We were 75 francs short. Then we spent 45 minutes begging for money. Finally, we decided to run. When we realized we were going the wrong way, we had to turn around. Jodi & Christi saw that we were going the wrong way and went the other way. The time we took begging cost us the race in the end.
Is this something that you’ll be able to laugh about in years to come, or do you think it’ll be a sore spot between the two of you?
Jennifer: We’re already laughing about it. I was upset the first few days, but we’re all winners. I can say that I had that experience.
Preston: I’m super-competitive and it still bothers me. I think about it a lot. I want an opportunity to redeem myself.
Jennifer: I think it’s embarrassing more than anything. Everybody was shocked we were the first to go.
Do either of you view your relationship differently?
Jennifer: We don’t live together now and didn’t before the race. We got to spend three weeks together 24/7 and learned a lot about each other in that time. Our relationship is stronger than it’s ever been.
Preston: Being together 24/7, tired and hungry, it puts a strain on your relationship. I learned a lot about Jennifer that I didn’t know before — what buttons not to push. And she learned what buttons not to push with me. It has definitely brought us closer. Where we are right now is light years ahead of where we were. I’m not sure we even liked each other at that time.
Jennifer: You always point fingers, but the stress was high when we lost. But then we got over it. We were already best friends before we got in the show. When I saw the passion in his eyes to push me to do my best, it made me fall in love with him all over again. I know he can be that rock for me the rest of my life.
Which team or teams do you think has what it takes to go all the way?
Preston and Jennifer: All the teams are really good. They all have a good balance of smarts and athleticism. When we got to sit down and talk to them we saw that all of them has that strength to win. A lot of the race boils down to luck. We were the only team that had every taxi driver that didn’t speak English. The language barrier was a downside for us. Even in L.A. our taxi driver pulled over to ask someone how to get to LAX.
What country would you like to visit next?
Jennifer: Fiji!
