They were the first ones eliminated on The Amazing Race, but despite their upset over being knocked out of the competition so early, mother/daughter team Marty and Hagan now say they knew they were doomed.

In a post-elimination interview with Reality TV World, the two dished that a number of factors could have led to their unfortunate leg--which saw them dealing with both a later flight than most teams and a slow cab--so they weren't surprised when they were the last ones to arrive at the Cartagena, Columbia pit stop.

"Oh yeah, we knew," Hagan said. "I mean, we knew that we were--us, and Darius and Cameron--were the last two teams to leave the mud pit, and so whenever we got to the cooking challenge and we saw the other teams still there and leaving, we knew that it was us at the very bottom."

The two also revealed that they would likely have had less bad luck on the leg if it had been one where they hadn't encountered the travel difficulties they did.

"I think it was definitely the flight," Marty said.

"Yeah. It we would've gotten to the [Roadblock task] earlier, I would've found the emerald quicker because there were more left to pick from," Hagan added. "So, it was definitely the flight that set us back. But then again, the cab driver was so slow, so it's really hard to pin it on one thing."

The Amazing Race airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
