Kaylynn & Haley

Kaylynn Williams and Haley Williams are a team of Sisters on The Amazing Race 32.

The sisters constantly found themselves languishing at the bottom of the pack due to difficulty getting around and having poor taxi drivers. Despite this, their perseverance and luck with their stronger competitors' making fatal mistakes repeatedly spared them from elimination, including using up every non-elimination point in the race, which allowed them to make it to the final six as the last team standing against the dominant Mine Five alliance. However, during the Megaleg in India, the Mine Five targeted them with two Yields and, combined with the sisters' usual luck and racing acumen, finally resulted in their elimination in 6th place.

Getting to travel the world with your best friend is something that most people can't say that they have done. We'll be able to share these stories for a lifetime.

Haley Williams[]

Name: Haley Williams
Age: 31
Hometown: Bluffton, South Carolina
Current occupation: Real estate agent
Describe what you do: I help people make their real estate dreams come true in one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
Three words to describe you: Outgoing, kind, and determined.
Favorite hobbies: I love HYLO (yoga, HIIT, barre), love cooking and whipping up vegetarian meals, love any water-related activities—preferably boat cruising in the river, longboarding, and just spending time with my girlfriends!
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Competing on The Amazing Race is OBVIOUSLY the accomplishment I'm the most proud of.
What scares you the most about traveling? I love traveling so much, fear typically isn't a part of that equation. But I suppose if I had to pick something, losing my phone or wallet would be pretty scary. I had my debit card taken by an ATM in Ireland a few years back and that was my main money source with me at the time and that was no fun!
What excites you the most about traveling? The food! I love experiencing the culture of traveling and immersing myself into a world different than mine, but if I'm being totally honest, eating and drinking whatever I want and not feeling bad about it probably excites me the most!
What country and place would you most like to visit and why? That's a tough one! Africa because of the culture and the animals or Costa Rica for the monkeys, beaches, and yoga!
What do you hope to accomplish by running The Amazing Race with your partner (other than winning one million bucks)? Other than winning a million dollars, the main thing I'd like to accomplish by running the race with Kaylynn is to find out what we're made of. We're best friends who are attached at the hip and do everything together but what could be cooler than running around the world together, challenging ourselves, and experiencing the world in a way that normal people don't get to. We get to experience so many different cultures while competing against ridiculously strong competitors and get to really see the strengths that we possess while doing so.
