The Amazing Race Season That Made Me Pass Out Laughing - The Amazing Race 26

- The Amazing Race is a long running show that one time made a big mistake in thinking that they could help single people meet each other and fall in love during the high stress environment of the one million dollar race around the world. It failed. Hard. But, how bad is it? Let's find out.

Fun video! I can probably answer a lot of the questions here for you all if you’d like! Just lmk!
Some that I see a lot-Blair and I are friends in real life; he used to date Brooke, but not anymore; Steve and Allie one of the pre-existing couples are no longer together; Mike and Rochelle and Matt and Ashley are married now.
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.
Blair and Hayley sound like a married couple that reached there boiling point after 25 years but somehow they skipped to that point after 25 hours.
More like 25 minutes** 🤣 but, in real life, Blair is a great guy and I’m happy to have him as a friend
I think it's so funny that whoever picked the couples was like what do gay men want? someone who looks identical to them?
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 😆

This season was so fun!!! They really paired a surgeon with a nurse.... and two bottoms....
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.
I think Hayley and Blair were stuck in a vicious cycle - he thought she was obnoxious and stupid so he didn't listen to her, so got angry that he didn't listen to her and was obnoxious in her anger, he didn't listen to her because of how obnoxious she is when she's angry, she got angry because he wasn't listening and got more obnoxious.
I think you were right about them both being awful in their own way.
I love how Bergen was so determined to win the race that he didn’t even bother doing the least amount of research or practice on what would be an obvious and necessary requirement for the race.
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…
I get Hayley can be annoying and be a bit disrespectful but oh my god Blair would be the most annoying TAR partner, I couldn’t ever have a partner that doesn’t communicate at all.
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.
I will NEVER forget the way hailey always yelled at Blair and how she yelled it
BLAAAIR! I sometimes shout this out loud to my wife whenever I mention the season in passing LOL
@@OnceUponAnIslandbotatos
@@OnceUponAnIsland hahaha
I have ZERO interest in another blind date season, but I’d love to see another all strangers season like S29.
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.
Loved that Tyler was just chilling his way to the Million Dollar zero stress zero care just vibes ..
How on earth did Blair get accepted into the navy without being able to effectively and vocally communicate? HOW DID HE BECOME A SURGEON WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE?
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
I was honestly impressed by this season, and how well most of the blind date couples worked together. I had been wanting to see teams of strangers for a while, and this proved it could work. Phil just didn't need to be pushing the blind date angle all the time. He honestly sounded pretty desperate at times.
Watch season 29 to see the stranger twist work the best.
I had zero plans on ever making this video until I watched the season on a whim and when it ended I said "oh my gosh, this is so beautifully bad"
15:22 omg his face after she says "He's gonna be in my life forever"
That is a terrified man right there
I think the most memorable of the legs was Monaco and the box of chocolates/roses Roadblock and perfume making Detour task. It actually fit the theme of the season without being too blatant, new country visit, and the navigation was epic.
I would love this format again but with the pairs determined with the same compatibility test that the Married at First Sight people get and more relationship-building challenges
I was rooting for blare and Hailey they were chaotic 😅
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
I started to watch TAR last year, especially S26 was the first one. The last season had a lot of features that I was impressed, such as Yield, double Switchback, Mega leg, and City sprint etc. I cannot wait for the newest season (S33) in January next year.
My family likes to bet on this show. Just $5 on who wins/goes farthest. I always lose. This season it was between my (now) wife and my teams, and she won, and I came in 2nd. Best I’ve ever done. Love this show, glad it’s back in a few weeks, however fleeting it might be.
I love how this season was the first one I saw
And It has a special place in my heart because of one reason
Jeff and Jackie come back for BB17, one of the greatest seasons of Big Brother.
That’s it, that’s all I can say XD
I watched this years ago when it first aired so this refreshed my memory!
I love the Amazing Race fandom💕 I can’t get enough of your take 👏🏽😂
I loved that season 😂
Also the family season is so underrated. I loved the little kids participating and the mom with 2 gilrs one boy
Not you liking The Weavers. They were insufferable to me the entire time.
This is actually one of the seasons that I watched. My mom would wait for me so we could watch it together. And, while I don't remember anything else, I remember Blair and Hayley.
just wanted to say i love the verses at the end of your videos. 10/10
I’m so excited for the next season of the amazing race!
Me too! We will be podcasting about it!
Thank you for the verse at the end it will help alot of people's lives
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
Imagine being a surgeon and just straight up shutting allé communication off when something doesn't go your way. Like ''doctor! We are losing him, what should we do!'' ''...''
Love your vids. Keep it up, and have a good holiday :)
Love the channel man. Great narration.
Thank you 😊
I enjoy this season a lot. Rooting for Tyler and also Blair. Very relatable.
Oh I remember this season! I saw an episode at my grandparents and was like pissing myself laughing, so I binged it, and I was rooting for Laura and Tyler the whole time because they were functional.
The season may have been romantic Trainwreck for the most part, But this season did have one of my well my favorite amazing race teams in Mike & Rochelle. I also love the actual challenges in season. It's definitely not my favorite season, but at least for me I feel it is rewatchable.
Fun fact: Blair is currently dating Brooke from season 29
Edit: *used to be
i feel like this season was very entertaining, jackie was everything
This is one of my all time favourite seasons. Chaotic in the best way! i've watched it at least twice 😂
Thanks 😊
i love this season lol, i was rooting for Hailey and Blair so hard, though Hailey can be a pain sometimes but so glad they won like 3 legs or something , also happy with the winners
Thanks :-)
Blair and Hayley were basically an Eldrich Elder God in blind date form.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
I can appreciate the thought but I think they should just do the strangers with no blind date twist.
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.
9:46 “Jim’s the camera” 😂
On paper, it dose sound like a good idea (if you pair up the cpuples a little better) cuz you get to see both good and bad early, you can get a good feel for the other.
Not the greatest season; but it is worth a watch. This blind date concept of pairing strangers together was something the American series has never done before. So to have half new/stranger teams and half pre-existing relationship teams made for excitement. Me, naturally, I was rooting for the pre-existing teams (with Team Truck Stop being my favourite). But seeing strangers work together was also neat.
That rich gay guy was so annoying just bcoz he couldn't get a date, he gave up without considering the partner
"They're both in the wrong all the time" literally so true
Hayley was more obviously obnoxious so it's sad all the other teams were shitting on her all game. But like, it was also deserved so lol
A lot of the times in a fight, both sides are wrong.
Great vid. I never knew that Jackie and Jeff came from a blind date on Amazing Race (im a Big Brother fan)
Despite the mess that was this cast, I would say this season had one of my favorite racecourses of all time. Really the only destination I didn't like was the Netherlands.
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?
Okay, I Just want to say thank you SO MUCH for posting this video? If it wasn't for you I would have skipped over this season and I'm now eternally grateful to you because MY GOD did I enjoy this. I've heard people complain about this season but I absolutely loved it. I'll be honest, I kind of wish Blaire and Haley would have won but their character arc was honestly incredible. He wasn't even mad at her for messing up. I have to wonder if they still talk to one another.
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!
This season is good for bachelor fans..i forgot about it coz they are inactive on social media.They kept the drama off the insta..i can't believe a survivor fan made me appreciate this season
I also love The Amazing Race!
Great Bible verse in the end! 1st Corinthians 13:4-7 ... Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I definitely remember this season being fun to watch and mostly due to Jackie and Jeff, and Hailey and Blair.. I totally forgot who won though because Tyler and Laura, while incredibly likeable, were also boring in comparison.
I think TAR should do this concept again, but with all the teams being blind dates, and also put more thought into the matching process. Like, poor Bergen and Kurt looked like brothers...
I can just imagine the drama and chaos of 10+ teams made entirely of strangers. Entertainment would be iconic!
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.
At least Jeff and Jackie seemed like decent characters, but mostly because they very soon after compete on Big Brother 17.
i’ve never watched tar or been interested in it but this has made me very curious!! i am gonna try and watch this season
update mee
You should do more amazing race content.
That's up to the patrons!
this season was such a fun brand of messy imo its great
The blind date season was one of my favorites
You can tell a lot about someone if they think Hayley or Blair was the worse person that that team.
(I can never remember who’s who.)
Laura and Tyler like I love there team like if they are still friends, that's find or probably together and married.
I’d love to hear you assess the dating teams on season 6. That season was so full of drama there was never a dull moment.
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.
I just finished binging it last week and needed to vent about it😲 Thanks for this!!
Hope you enjoy it!
I remember this season for Hayley and Blair and also the trucker couple that couldn't drive stick
Fun fact: One half of one pre-existing couple is a member of New Kids On The Block, a boyband in the 70s-80s, and it was Jonathan Knight.
Yep
He’s also on HGTV a lot now on Farmhouse Fixer Upper. He and Harley are incredible guys.
We watched this season during homeroom in middle school! Laura and Tyler ftw
Blair & Hailey were the best of this season and their story arc was priceless XD
Hayley and Blair are two polar opposites. what a horrible match
Blair is like Zoro from One Piece always getting misled but saying that he’s going in the right direction😂
The funny thing is I don't remember the rest of this season, but as soon as I saw the finish with Hayley it all came rushing back to me.
As a woman who found a woman, I can confirm that we lesbians too look for romantic partners who look exactly the same as us down to every precise detail. Sometimes I mix up my GF for my mirror.
Just finished watching it lol she always tells him she was right😂😂(Blair and Hayley)
Phil: "When was the last time a woman called you perfect?"
Jeff: "My mom."
me: "King."
It was my first season and it was a damn good season I thought the blind date turmoil was interesting 😂
Jeff was seen on big brother live cams choking his chicken.
It's funny I just finished rewatching this season and the biggest issue I had about it was the lack of drama and how there really were no villains or anyone I didn't want to win. Yes Hailey was annoying but she never did or said anything that made me hate her. For the most part ever one was nice and polite,
👀
That's funny because I hate her just from this video.
I actually really loved this season 😂
I love this BLIND DATE season. Especially Rx For Love team.
Thanks :-)
Bergen & Kurt could have been doppelgBängers 😂
The blind daters did great, better than the twosomes who already knew each other. The blind daters seemed to handle the stress of the race better. I remember the winners of the race were one twosome of blind daters.
Tyler and Blair are two of the handsomest racers of all time.
Bahahah you’re joking this was my favorite season😭😂
I enjoyed this season. I once met Jackie while she was working the front desk at The Cosmopolitan. She was incredibly nice and open about talking about her Amazing Race experience. I had no idea she was on Big Brother too.
What do you think about this season? Is it better or worse than the infamous family edition?
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.
never heard of that show but that seems funny as hell. and i usually hate reality tv.
they just matched similar or clashing personalities together. and some of these looks like really bad matches! and they film this in a "race" in foreign country ahahah! perfect usuless TV show! i love this video!
Lyda (still together and married to Jeff) appeared on Wheel of Fortune in December 2023.
And the blind date teams didn’t even become a couple.
Hayley and Blair were basically a trainwreck but hey they finish 3rd?
Also Bergen and Kurt, the team who doesn’t know one of the most important things in The Amazing Race. How to drive stick.
🤷🏼♀️ 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
I'm terms of televised disasters, Blind Date has nothing on Family Edition (Season 8).
That's a whole other video lol
Holy shit her laugh at the end is the best part.
I loved it!
Jenny played the hell out of Jelani at the end lol
Okay, I skipped over this season because it sounded dumb, but now I want to go back and watch it. So I think I'll do just that.
It's a fun dumb.
Wonder when we are going to get The amazing race: Blind edition.
“I’m always right, and you never listen!” Sounds like they’re married!
15:24
His face tells it all xD
Honestly, Blair and Hailey remind me of how my aunt and her husband used to be, though both have come a long way.
The 2 bottoms 😭
The families was the worst idea oh, this could probably work if they really thought about it
Yay, more TAR content! Honestly an underrated season imo, the theme sucks but the cast was pretty good.
You should do a video on the alliance from S32, I think that would be really cool to analyze. (The patrons pick the videos, I know, I know, I just thought I'd mention).
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.
Jelani and Jenny need 2nd chance... like an all-stars season or an unfinushed business season 2...
If I was saying the right directions and my guy wouldn't listen I would lose my mind!!!!
They should do a Survivor Frenemies edition of the amazing race.
Lex van den Berghe and Kelly Goldsmith (Survivor Africa)
Alicia Calaway and Kimmi Kappenberg (Survivor Australian Outback)
Robb Zbacnik and Shii Ann Huang (Survivor Thailand)
Jonny FairPlay and Sandra Diaz-Twine (Survivor Pearl Islands)
Denise Stapley and Abi Maria Gomes (Survivor Philippines)
Zeke Smith and Andrea Boehlke (Game Changers)
Domenick Abbate and Chris Noble (Survivor Ghost Island)
Natalie Cole and Lyrsa Torres (Survivor David vs Goliath)
Kass McQuillen and Spencer Bledsoe (Survivor: Cagayan)
I love that idea
only 1 male-male team huh? how about adam and taylor?
