Wow! Thanks for watching Hayley! You and Blair made this season memorable and fun to watch. My only question is how much time do you think it took from going up the tower the first time to realizing the parking lot was wrong? I imagine that being a frustrating experience having the win in the bag.

Oh gosh, most frustrating thing ever! Probably about an hour. Although, our selfies were so bad that we would’ve sadly never won. Production actually helped us out at the end because there were so few selfies that had any type of solid identifying markers. It was like a random plane selfie, and we wore the same clothes so much that we couldn’t even narrow it down. We were like “do you remember which of the million planes we’ve been on this month had purple seats?” 🤣 or, “hmm what airport’s food court was that?” If y’all ever want to know any cool behind the scenes type of info, I can def provide! I am a TAR fan, so seeing all the BTS stuff was the coolest ever for me.

Hey! I was wondering if you thought the show portrayed you correctly? Also, how did it feel to have such an underdog/complex team edit?

Definitely not, but going into the whole thing, you know this can happen. 95% of the time, Blair and I got along great and we had fun. We would hang out after legs, eat together, and had some really great convos at the airport and on all the long plane rides. We are both competitive, and both fans of TAR, so we genuinely wanted to be there. Once we found our groove, we knew we were going to the end. We truly did work hard to get through each leg, and we were proud coming from the bottom to finishing high quite a bit :-) I’m actually close with a lot of the cast. Bergen and I talk weekly, if not daily. I was a grooms woman in Jeff’s wedding. Mike and Rochelle are 2 of my favorite people in the universe. I wouldn’t trade my experience (the good and bad) for the world :-)

Hi Hayley! I only have one question. If given the chance and you were invited back at TAR, would you and Blair race again? Thank you so much! Much love from the Philippines.

More like 25 minutes** 🤣 but, in real life, Blair is a great guy and I’m happy to have him as a friend

And how to read a clue

@@OnceUponAnIsland or a map?

And don't have height and food phobias

@@eduardmihai5760 apply for fear factor to get over the fears

Well if they do that can potentially double the wardrobe options.

And of course the only non-white people are matched up together *eye roll*

honestly a lot of gay men date men that look like themselves, and i say this as a gay

i mean..they’re not wrong

This made me LOL, especially knowing Bergs now, Kurt is 1000% not his type 😆

During casting, they asked me what is one profession I’d never date. Having spent the bulk of my career in trauma, I immediately said a surgeon…yet, I got a surgeon hahah

@@hayleykeel8899 Lol shoutout to you for being so chill and answering questions!

Anytime 😊

@@hayleykeel8899 Why not with a surgeon?

I’m a nurse and a bottom. I think I could make a relationship with another bottom work for at least a while. People can take one for the team and toys exist. I could definitely befriend the other person and compete as platonic partners without losing my damn mind. But dating/racing around the world with a surgeon? No. Un-think-a-ble. I’m glad they exist and they’re clearly a vital part of our medical system, but they are THE most arrogant people in the world. Nurses comfort and surgeons perform high-stakes dissections surrounded by people following orders to the letter. It’s not even close to the same profession. People become nurses and surgeons for wildly different reasons. We have wildly different worldviews. And a Venn diagram of qualities that make someone a good nurse and qualities that make someone a good surgeon would have no overlap beyond passing the first two years of science classes in college. Pairing a surgeon and a nurse because they both work in medicine makes about as much sense as pairing a nature photographer with a supermodel because they both work with cameras.

Maybe he'd just found out about the race at that time and didn’t have the time of day to do that. He did say he's poor. If I were him, looking for financial stability and love at the same time; sitting in front of my TV watching and studying about a reality TV show would be the last thing I want to spend my time doing.

I remember reading an interview that they were both expecting their partners to be in charge of the driving, they said their match was the complete opposite of what they both had told casting they were looking for in a romantic partner

@@JustACoupleKids2 there’s been a recent interview that apparently only one team ever has come on the race without knowing it first… I can’t remember their names, but it was the gay couple from season 6(or 7, the seasons have blended together at this point for me), and they only applied because they thought it was going to be a get rich quick scheme…

BLAAAIR! I sometimes shout this out loud to my wife whenever I mention the season in passing LOL

​@@OnceUponAnIslandbotatos

@@OnceUponAnIsland hahaha

The dude just turned off his brain to survive being around her, she comments and yells about everything honestly seems exhausting to be around. Even the times she is right, to actually be able to hear them and use the information means listening to the hours long prelude of rambling angry nonsense she is constantly spewing.

She said she was tired of arrogant men and they put her together with someone exhibiting a God complex or at least trying very hard to adopt his talking habits.

She is the poster face a a nag women.

Season 29 was HEAPS better than this one

@@vidhead85 I like Laura and Tyler than the unlikable woman who won that season though.

@@schmolik1 I hated Brooke too. She was just so whiny and just awful. I think Scott should've gotten an extra million for dealing with her I always say "How she didn't end up as roadkill in Vietnam is a miracle in and of itself"

@@vidhead85 The way she singlehandedly rivaled Flo in the complaining department. Unhinged I tell you.

@@schmolik1 Scott won so I'm happy. Though I wanted him to pick a male partner because I always root for male/male teams.

In fairness, he can probably communicate just fine when he chooses to. However, he might not have cared enough to choose to. 🤷🏾‍♀️ annoying but maybe it was his way to cope through the season

A smart man knows that talking with angry fools is a waste of breath. He turned his brain off when he was around her, and he probably had no recollection of anything she said the moment the show ended.

The Navy will literally take almost anyone.

Doctors in the military go through what's call Direct Commision. Meaning they don't have to really do any of the military stuff to qualify because they have skills/ degrees that the military needs. Chaplains also do this and JAGs do too I believe.

Military doctors suck and the military takes anybody

Watch season 29 to see the stranger twist work the best.

Chaotic is the perfect word for them.

I grew to love both of them. I was weirdly hoping they would be the couple to actually end up dating.

iconic

Accurate 😆

@@hayleykeel8899 you look similar to Anna Farris (Scary Movie) lol I enjoyed you on the show

Not you liking The Weavers. They were insufferable to me the entire time.

Me too! We will be podcasting about it!

Thanks 😊

Thanks :-)

i just noticed this! it’s such a cool addition and i’m gonna be looking for it at the end of all new episodes now

Thank you 😊

Japan was the worst leg imo. 40 frickin minutes of watching these people do a robotic dance was not fun.

I have PTSD from this dance. We were there for about 4hrs just listening to the song play over and over and over while simultaneously rehearsing just to go f it up over and over and over 😆

@@hayleykeel8899 Oh no! The dance reminded me of that quick pose model that I always see videos of, but man, that was hard to keep up with for the length of the 1 believe 2-hour premiere. Did you ever end up catching up with the early eliminated teams like Jeff & Lyda, New Kids on the Block, and Libby & CJ?

They do in season 29 and it is one of the best seasons of all time.

You might want to check out season 29 lol

Season 29 is actually really good

That would be season 29.

@@OnceUponAnIsland i think I conflated these two seasons together.

Watch season 29 to see this basic idea of pairing up strangers perfected.

We do :-)

@@hayleykeel8899 Very happy to hear that. Despite the hiccups, I think you guys made a great team. Wouldn't mind you guys coming back someday for another round if you wanted

I’d so be down!

Season 29 is all strangers and it is glorious. I recommend watching it.

@@OnceUponAnIsland I did watch that season and it WAS glorious! But they also go to choose their teams on the first leg. Doing a Blind Date season where they are all "professionally" matched would have a totally different vibe. The hopeless romantics would also be rooting for some couples to fall madly in love, while actively rooting against the Hailey and Blairs to crumble and create mayhem. Lol.

A lot of the times in a fight, both sides are wrong.

That's up to the patrons!

I also love The Amazing Race!

update mee

Better- I prefer the ironic enjoyment of this season

Love it 😂

Far better than the Family Edition. Despite it's terrible theme idea, the season actually turned out pretty decent.

which couple of the ones that were already together broke up?

Where can I watch this? is it on free on prime? Or do i have to pay paromont to watch it.

👀

That's funny because I hate her just from this video.

I have yet to watch season 6, is there a twist to it?

Well, it is the first season to introduce the super-leg and its also the first season where both team members have to do an equal number of Roadblocks. (I believe it’s called “the bowling moms’ rule” lol) Also, it contained a whopping number of eight co-Ed teams with only two all female teams and one all male team. As a result, the top 6 teams were all consisted of young couples. I believe this was the season that inspired the couples theme for season 26.

@@OnceUponAnIsland They introduced more African legs by popular demand. That's about the other twist.

Yep

He’s also on HGTV a lot now on Farmhouse Fixer Upper. He and Harley are incredible guys.

Hope you enjoy it!

The patrons pick the... wait a minute... you stole my line!

@@OnceUponAnIsland Lol

Yeah, I'd love to see a video about that. I really don't like it when the Amazing Race gets super alliance-y, and that one really annoyed me. I understand helping out your friends once in a while, but that was ridiculous.

Thanks :-)

🤷🏼‍♀️ I wasn’t about to go to sequester with him hahah I’m Jk, we actually weren’t as dysfunctional as we were portrayed. We were there to get it done

That's a whole other video lol

That's up to the patrons 😊

What season is that

@@philadelphian7814 Season 29

@@OnceUponAnIsland thanks

I love that idea

only 1 male-male team huh? how about adam and taylor?

It's a fun dumb.

They are on Prime and Hulu. I wish they were on Paramount as well.
