America’s Favorite Duo according to the 2009 Fox Reality Awards set off today on their next big adventure – The Amazing Race 16.
Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd, who both competed in Big Brother 11 this past summer with Jordan winning first place, were spotted at LAX airport today with backpacks similar to what Amazing Race contestants carry. Both Schroeder and Lloyd met while on Big Brother and revealed to People magazine on October 20, 2009 that they were dating. While on the show, both competitors stayed loyal to each other as allies until Schroeder and Lloyd were put up for eviction together and Schroeder was voted out of the house. Even without her ally, Lloyd continued to fight through the competition and ultimately won the show.
Online fans have speculated that the two would be invited to participate in The Amazing Race since the finale of Big Brother 11. It wouldn’t be the first time CBS has given spots on TAR to crossover reality shows. The Amazing Race 5 had Big Brother 4’s runner-up Alison Irwin competing with her then-boyfriend Donny Patrick and The Amazing Race 7 had Survivor sweethearts Rob and Amber who finished in second place and were invited back for The Amazing Race: All-Stars.
Schroeder’s twitter account hasn’t been used since November 22 which fits with the speculated filming dates of the new TAR season.
The Amazing Race 16 began filming today and will finish in December, leaving a premiere date to be in early 2010.
