00:54The announcement shocked fans, as Sarah shared that her journey to motherhood began around

00:58the same time as their final episode.

01:05after their time on the show, as their elimination was during episode 3, which the couple noted

01:11was also their 5 year anniversary.

01:14The elimination came after a fellow contestant jumped too early, costing the entire team

01:19the game.

01:20One fan commented under their YouTube video, So sad they lost, due to that girl jumping

01:24off to betray the entire team.
