Steve Cole and Linda Cole are a Married team on The Amazing Race 14.

They were unsurprisingly ill-suited to run the race, as, other than a single shining moment during Cheese Hill, they were generally slow at everything. They ended up eliminated in 10th when Linda wandered down the wrong side of the mountain at the hang gliding Roadblock, putting them far enough behind that they were never able to catch up.

This husband and wife team met when Steven went with a date to Linda's house for a party. Linda asked her brother to keep his date occupied while she asked Steven out. They have been together ever since and married for 17 years. They both have children from previous marriages, but treat all of them as their very own.

Linda is nine years older than Steven. She describes herself as smart, hard working and adventurous. Steven loves traveling, making and posting videos online, recycling scrap metal and fishing. He is a Virginia Master Angler. He describes himself as a perfectionist and creative. His one setback is that he suffers from claustrophobia.

Both Linda and Steven are well traveled. The two had a very scary experience traveling through Guatemala where they were robbed of all their money and identification. Luckily they were resourceful enough and found their way back to the states without too much hassle.

Together, they are excited for new experiences that will expand their horizons. They love to compete and are looking forward to sharing this once in a lifetime experience together, while making new friends along the way. Look for the other Teams to completely underestimate these two, but with Linda's analytical mind and Steven's ability to problem solve they could do well.
