It's really sweet to see how the two are still together and as in love with each other as ever despite all the rocky points they faced on Total Drama. Not to mention the fact that this means they've been together for three years at this point. Now that's a truly beautiful relationship.
If you read between the lines, you can actually realize that Bridgette was Geoff's first choice for a partner to run the race with!

Tom & Jen making up after their fight in Transylvania, and Jen cheering Tom through a challenge he was having a lot of difficulty with.
