Preston McCamy and Jennifer Hopka are a Dating team on The Amazing Race 14.
Dissension immediately rose between Preston & Jennifer after they missed the first train to Switzerland in the first leg, causing them to fall to the back of the pack for the rest of the leg. They then struggled carrying cheese downhill, only finishing ahead of Christie & Jodi. However, while searching for the Pit Stop, they made a wrong turn and were passed by the latter team, resulting in a footrace that they ultimately lost after Jennifer decided to piggyback on Preston, eliminating them in 11th place.
