“For us, we wanted to fully engulf ourselves in the episode and fully take us back to Halifax and that whole day. Once again, it was a gruelling day. There was so many highs, so many lows, there was so many emotions. I think, for us, we wanted to fully be present as we watched one of the greatest days of our lives unfold on national television.”
Tuesday’s finale found the remaining three teams, which also included Calgarian Tyler Turner and girlfriend Kayleen Vandervee and Winnipeg friends Ben Chutta and Anwar Ahmed, often neck-and-neck in the various challenges. But, in the end, it was a teary Ty and Kat who were declared the winners by Jon Montgomery at Point Pleasant Park in Halifax as past competitors cheered them on.
“To be able to come back home and win that first leg as much as we didn’t really have expectations, I think after that it really allowed us to shine a light on the fact that we could possibly do this,” says Smith. “We knew there was a target on our back a little bit,” says Kastner. “I think we were honestly surprised to hear some of it. It’s a competition and we knew that was probably going to be the case if we weren’t seeing it directly when we were racing. We were surprised a little bit but we have the most respect and absolutely loved our competitors and racing with them.”
