Daters Preston & Jennifer well-earned their first leg elimination from "The Amazing Race 14," making key early mistakes on what turned out to be their only stretch on the program.
While ten teams all caught trains from one plane layover or another to Locarno, Switzerland, Preston and Jennifer proved to be the only team to initially miss the connection. The daters moved well off course looking for the train station. By the time they realized their error, it was too late to avoid becoming the last team into the Church of San Antonio.
Thankfully for the pair, a partial equalization kept them from falling behind other lower-tier teams. Preston completed the bungee jumping Roadblock in ninth place but the pair couldn't advance any further up the standings. Jennifer became visibly winded during the task, while Preston lost a wheel of cheese down the hill.
The visibly flustered couple still finished the task ahead of flight attendants Christie & Jodi in tenth place but was defeated in the final rundown to the Pit Stop.
Aside from making the travel mistakes that came with inexperience, Preston and Jennifer became frustrated at times with each other. Their's was an up and down teamup whose prospects as a continuing race team seemed doubtful even if they had managed to survive the first leg.
