anyone see a problem with this pairing? How is Jordan going to be able to help? Jeff might as well do it himself.

I dunno Jordan didn't Jeff help in the finals to win the final HOH. I think she'll be helpful. I can't wait for the new season to start

Big Brother 11 winner Jordan Lloyd and her fan favorite boyfriend Jeff Schroeder are set to compete on season 16 of The Amazing Race, set to debut in early 2010.

The next edition of CBS’s wildly popular reality show The Amazing Race began in Los Angeles on November 28, 2009. Excited fans at LAX quickly noticed two familiar faces among the new teams: Big Brother 11 fan favorite Jeff Schroeder and his girlfriend, Big Brother 11 champion Jordan Lloyd.

Schroeder and Lloyd, who met in the Big Brother House, began a flirtatious friendship and remained allies during the game. The couple became so popular with fans that Schroeder won a $25,000 ‘American’s Favorite Juror’ prize, and Lloyd won ‘America’s Vote’, which helped her to ultimately win the game. On October 20, 2009, Schroeder and Lloyd officially confirmed to People Magazine that they were dating. On October 27, 2009, they made a guest appearance on CBS’s The Bold and The Beautiful.

Fans had been speculating since the finale of Big Brother 11 that the pair may be invited to compete on The Amazing Race. After all, this is not the first time that CBS has allowed and encouraged crossovers among its popular reality shows. On the Amazing Race 5, Big Brother 4 runner-up Alison Irwin competed with her then-boyfriend Donny Patrick. On the Amazing Race 7, Survivor: All-Stars winner and runner-up Amber Brkich and fiancé Rob Mariano finished in second place, and were invited back for the Amazing Race: All-Stars Edition.

Prior to the photo confirmation at LAX, there was significant peripheral evidence pointing to Schroeder and Lloyd’s participation in the upcoming Amazing Race. In previous interviews, Schroeder had hinted that he and Lloyd were preparing for a “long vacation” and had something big planned in the future. Schroeder had also been absent from his Twitter account since November 22nd, which fit with the speculated filming dates for the Race.

Overall, the pair should provide for more than a few memorable moments on the Race. Lloyd is a small-town southern girl who may not be accustomed to high-stress travel and mingling with other cultures. Schroeder is well-remembered for his poor spelling and pronunciation of words such as ‘Technotronics’ and ‘Coup d’Etat.’ It should be amusing seeing the pair try to pronounce foreign words and communicate with those who don’t speak English as they try to navigate around the world.

I think they will work well together. He can be the leader, and she help him. It doesn't work if there are two equally agressive and bold team members. I think they will compliment each other and do very well.

I think that's the point. It makes for good TV. Personally I love them together and can't wait to watch.

Maybe she could help him spell... Technotronics?
