Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl might not have won The Amazing Race – but they did get some amazing memories from it.
The 27-year-old social influencer took to Instagram today, reflecting on his and Korey‘s time on the show where they placed third.
“21 days. 27,000 miles. Mexico, Colombia, Switzerland, France, Armenia, Georgia, U.A.E., Indonesia, China, and a finale in Los Angeles… what a dream come true. thank you to all of our friends & family for making this season of The Amazing Race so fun to be a part of,” he wrote. “Hearing from you every week made it that much more exciting. so proud to have finished 5 of the 12 episodes in first place (most first places of the season!), and to finish in third place overall.”
Tyler continued, “I wouldn’t change a thing about how @koreykuhl & I raced – every decision we made got us as far as it did, and not many are lucky enough to make it on the show, let alone run the entire race to the final finish mat. and we had FUN! racing around the world giggling with my best friend is something I’ll never take for granted. lifelong memories with wigs, puns, and way too many laughs.”
“Going into the finale, the final three teams were so excited for all six remaining racers – it was anyone’s game & we were ALL rooting each other on. I don’t think you see that with many seasons, but the adoration & respect is real. congratulations to our friends @mattsteffanina & @danaalexa_ – two incredible people & so deserving of the win. congratulations also to our friends @sherilabrant & @thesupercole – our mom & little brother on the race, who made us proud every week. what a great adventure to be a part of,” Tyler added.
DID YOU WATCH The Amazing Race this season? What did you think?
Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl stop just for a moment to snap a pic in front of the Teotihuac�n Pyramids in Mexico in this throwback pic from their time on The Amazing Race.
The 26-year-old YouTube star and activist shared the pics on Twitter and explained why he didn’t actually have a ton of photos from his time on the show.
“They gave us digital cameras to take pictures & vlog if we wanted – don’t worry we barely ever did…when there were sights worth capturing, we figured the cameramen would do it. We were there to COMPETE, not take selfies or vlog,” Tyler explained.
