No.  First off, The Amazing Race is set in Edwardian
times; what's goth *now* was extremely conservative
fashion *then*.  Their 'gothic' is much closer to our
'emo' (and, yes, if you read the literature of the
time they do speak of others as 'how gothick!'), and
tended to be mid-Victoriana.  IIRC, the couple you
speak of were into the younger, more edgy fashions of
the time.

Second, goths do not wear pink, except as an accent. 
IIRC, the couple tended to wear pink with black as an
accent.

So, not goths, just fashionable for their time.

I believe in dragons, unicorns, good men
and other mythical creatures.
