'The Amazing Race' Season 27 Winner: Kelsey and Joey Won $1 Million And the Championship
Although Kelsey and Joey always find themselves finishing second most of the time throughout the competition, they somehow managed to finish in first place when it matters the most.
Yes. The couple did it. They have managed to defeat Justin and Diana in the final race to win the ultimate prize of one million dollars and the championship title of the 27th Season of The Amazing Race.
In the post-race interview with Entertainment Weekly via ENSTARS, the champions acknowledged that they fought through struggles and obstacles to win the race.
They recalled that things almost went south for them when a Paparazzi tried to steal their cab to head to Belmont Park. Good thing that they were around to stop that from happening. It was the turning point for them in the race.
"We had just been in the cab. We just had to go drop off Joey's fire boots, so we literally were out of the cab for maybe 30, 45 seconds. And then I see the cab door shut. So we start booking after it, and there was no way, there was no possibility that cab was going anywhere. We would have been standing in front of the cab, knocking the doors down," Kelsey said according to ENSTARS.
"They would have had to run me over to get that cab. The driver was also very confused, like, 'Who are these two other people in my cab?' And then we're running up, yelling, and I just lost it. We hadn't been in any confrontations in this entire season, but I knew this was a pivotal moment where there was no way that could happen," Joey said.
The couple also shared a technique regarding taxi cabs. They said that it would save them the hassle of finding another cab if they pay the driver only when they are sure that they are not going to need the him and his cab anymore. They also said that the experience of the whole race has strengthen their relationship.
"The Amazing Race" will be back for its 28th season; which premieres in February 2016.
