Danny and Oswald from "The Amazing Race: All Stars"

The Amazing Race has included gay people from its very first season when Team Guido raced into the final three. Reichen and Chip won the big prize in Season 3 and, of course, there have been others along the way. One of the most beloved teams of all times, however, has to be Danny and Oswald from Season 2. The gay best friends shopped their way into our hearts while remaining formidable opponents. AfterElton.com had the chance to talk to them following their elimination from Sunday night’s episode of The Amazing Race: All Stars.

AfterElton.com: Hi guys! Thanks so much for talking to us.
Danny: Just know this. The majority of the talking is usually done by my big-mouthed friend Oswald. When in doubt, it's Oswald.
Oswald: If it's anything raunchy, it's Danny. [Danny laughs]

AE: Got it. You're my favorite team ever on The Amazing Race. I was so sorry to see you eliminated last night. I was really rooting for you.
Both: Thank you, Josh!
Oswald: We really enjoyed it.
Danny: Josh, I've never dated a Josh.

AE: You've never dated a Josh?
Danny: No. So I'm coming on to you, just so you know.
AE: You don't know what you're missing.
Danny: You sound really hot.
AE: [laughs] Why thank you.
Oswald: So, Josh, do you have any questions for us?

AE: As a matter of fact, I do. This was your second time on The Amazing Race. How did this experience differ from your first time?
Danny: Go ahead. You know you want to answer it. [laughs]
Oswald: I think what we wanted to do this time around is be a little more competitive than the last time we were on.
Danny: He joined a gym.
Oswald: No, Danny. We wanted to come in and maintain our style, which is a little more laid back than other people, but we also wanted to show that we were in it to win it. And I think we did that.

AE: The show seemed a lot more comfortable with gay content this time around, showing Bill and Joe kissing, you guys hugging and being campy. Did it seem that way to you as well?
Danny: We were the first to kiss on the mat. Bill and Joe are just Johnny-come-latelies. They saw us do it, and therefore thought they could do it too. And we chased Phil around the mat. They didn't even try to chase Phil. And by the way, they've had enough plastic surgery to pay for a whole new state. Oswald: Oh, quit it. I think, the whole idea of the show being more comfortable with gay content, I think it's admirable that CBS is actually taking a step in doing so. They showed us, not coming in and marching with a rainbow flag and standing on any particular platform, but just showed gay people in very ordinary circumstance without having to say "I'm gay" in every single episode.

AE: You guys have a great chemistry. A lot of people are wondering why you don't date. Have you ever considered it?
Danny: Here we go with the dating question again!
Oswald: It would be incestuous if we dated.
Danny: I wouldn't want to lose my best friend. You date temporarily.
Oswald: Best friends forever.

AE: On The Amazing Race website you did an interview in which you listed all the things you were going to do after the race. One of the things you mentioned was, um, finding male companionship. How has that gone?
Oswald: Slow? I have a male companion. We've been dating for three months. Danny: You know what I call him?
Oswald: Oh my God.
Danny: An inconvenient truth, because he's come in the middle of my fun. Now Oswald's home reading the Bible as opposed to going out with me.
Oswald: I'm not. Danny finds male companionship as well... on a regular basis.
