"Big Brother" 11 stars Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd say competing in "The Amazing Race" was much harder than competing in "Big Brother."
"'Big Brother' is like running a marathon... 'The Amazing Race' is like a sprint," Jeff said.
The couple, who have become one of the most loved "Big Brother" couples in the show's history since season 11 aired starting in July 2009, will star in "The Amazing Race" season 16 starting this Sunday, Feb. 14, 2010. The show premieres that day on CBS at 8 p.m. (EST).
Jeff and Jordan were brought on to the show after the show's production team approached them about being a part of season 16. The couple said there was no hesitation and no question in their minds about whether or not they wanted to race. Jordan added that she wanted to do the show because she had always wanted to travel.
Now that they've finished both competitions, Jeff's answer to which show he would be on again was simple.
"Whichever one I could win."
Both Jeff and Jordan agree that communication was their weak point during the race. They had created a great, stable connection on "Big Brother," but sometimes they get caught up in bickering instead of calmly discussing the issue.
As for Jeff and Jordan's personal lives, Jeff said everything is going well, and the pair is just trying to get grounded again after all of the excitement that has been brought in to their lives since being chosen for "Big Brother."
Jeff said the couple is still living in different states, which is a little stressful, but they are making it work by visiting each other often. Plus, Jordan loves Skype, he said.
