Sheri and Cole come in second place on Season 28 of The Amazing Race.
After making it to the finals together, mother-and-son duo Sheri and Cole LaBrant snagged second place on the season finale of The Amazing Race, which was right behind this season's winners Dana and Matt.
While Sheri and Cole didn't walk away with $1 million after weeks spent racing around the world, they managed to leave the Race proud of their accomplishments and the countless memories they made along the way.
Read what Sheri and Cole had to say following their incredible experience on The Amazing Race.
Watch the season finale of The Amazing Race now on CBS.com.
1. How was it racing together as mother and son?
Sheri: "I definitely think that, as a mom, it was a dream come true to travel the world with your kid. Especially having so many children, doing things one-on-one is really difficult, so this was a great time for us to be together. I’m assuming Cole would have had more fun with a brother, but he didn’t make me feel that way. He looked like he was having fun, too."
2. Since your high-flying challenges on The Amazing Race, are you both still afraid of heights?
Cole: "Not at all. Nope! I think it was last season, [when] Tanner was afraid of heights and then he had to do the rope swing. After that, he was not afraid. Not sure how that happened for him because it did not happen for me."
Sheri: "If I had to jump off that building again, I think I may cry."
3. Would you guys do an All-Stars season if you were asked back?
Cole: "We would totally do an All-Stars season. Absolutely. I honestly went into it not sure what to expect. I thought it would be awesome, but it is one of those things that I could do on repeat, year after year."
Sheri: "I would do it yearly, too. No doubt."
4. What was it about the hashtags that made you know they'd be important in the final memory challenge?
Cole: "It was a social media season, so it just made sense. They had hashtags in the clues and it's a social season, so we just thought about it and remembered it."
5. What techniques did you use to memorize all the hashtags?
Cole: "We both just studied. Pretty early on, maybe [during] the second or third leg, we picked up on the hashtags being [part of a] memory challenge. I never thought we would make it that far, though, so we didn’t really study them. It was on the plane from China to L.A. that we really tried to memorize them. You say the clues over and over, so it was something that you just naturally memorize."
Sheri: "With Cole just finishing high school and now being in college, I knew his study skills were better than mine. He is a straight-A student, so if he studies it, he knows it."
6. What are your top travel tips for potential racers?
Sheri: "Travel light. Ever since the Race, I have not been checking luggage. When you think you might need something, you probably don’t. Pack lightly because you don't need everything."
Cole: "Pack like a 19-year-old guy."
7. What was the best part of your experience on The Amazing Race?
Sheri: "I can't say just one thing, so I'm going to say traveling the world and making friends with the cast. I think our experience was as fun as it was because our whole cast got along. There was no drama. It was a competition, but we were all traveling the world and having a great time."
8. What was your favorite location from this season?
Cole: "Probably Dubai or Chamonix, France."
Sheri: "Same. It's funny because we came in last in Dubai and I hated the driving, but the activities in both those places were incredible. Everything was gorgeous. Just like pictures."
Watch the season finale of The Amazing Race now to see how Sheri and Cole's journey came to an end.

Exclusive: 'The Amazing Race' runner-up team Sheri LaBrant and Cole LaBrant talk (Part 1)
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/17/2016
The Amazing Race's "Mother and Son" team Sheri LaBrant and Cole LaBrant finished the final leg of Season 28 in second place during Friday night's finale on CBS.
Sheri and Cole lost the $1 million to winners Dana Borriello and Matt Steffanina, however, they defeated third-place finishers Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, who had been known as the ones to beat.
Sheri and Cole overcame the odds by making it as far as they did in the race around the world, including two last-place finishes, a clear physical disadvantage and Cole's fear of heights.
In an exclusive interview with Reality TV World on Monday, Sheri and Cole talked about their The Amazing Race experience. Below is the first half. Check back with us soon for the concluding portion.
Reality TV World: I hear that you arrived at the finish line about 30 minutes behind Dana and Matt. Is that accurate?
Cole LaBrant: Yeah, I think, pretty much around there.
Sheri LaBrant: I would say maybe some [time] close to there, but I was thinking it was a little closer. The reason why I'm going to say less is because when we drove to do the barrels, we actually drove past the finish line, and I saw people clapping.
So, I think what happened is, we saw Dana and Matt running through and the people were clapping, because then Tyler and Korey said they actually saw them on the mat. We didn't see them on the mat, but I saw everyone clapping, and I can guarantee you it didn't take Cole 30 minutes to do that puzzle.
Reality TV World: Yeah, I was going to ask if you had an idea how long, Cole, it took you to do the final Roadblock. You seemed prepared that hashtags would be involved, so I'm wondering if you finished the puzzle in one try or not.
Cole LaBrant: Yeah, I mean, I was prepared. I didn't get it absolutely on the first try. I had all of the hashtags of the countries correct and stuff, but I just didn't know how to spell some things correctly. (Laughs) So I'd have everything in place, and then from there, find out the misspelled words and fix them. So I got it right on the first try except for the spellings.
Sheri LaBrant: And he did do it very quickly.
Reality TV World: It seemed like no one really viewed Dana and Matt as a big threat all season long, mainly because of their bickering and the fact two male-male teams kept finishing the legs in first place. So were you surprised Dana and Matt ended up winning the Race?
Cole LaBrant: I mean, I wasn't surprised. They won the first leg and they're huge fans of the show. And really throughout the entire show, they weren't close to elimination. I know towards the last few legs they may have been more towards the bottom, but there were only five or six teams, so that's still not bad.
They were a strong team, really, all the way through. And yeah, they were a team who bickered a little bit, but all in all, they were a really strong team. And I knew it could've been anyone's game. I didn't expect anyone would win, and after Matt got the jump off [the skyscraper] on the first try, there was really nowhere left in the leg to catch up. So, they really had won the Race after the very first challenge.
Reality TV World: You two were viewed as the underdogs this season, mainly because you luckily survived two non-elimination legs. Were you worried about teams not taking you seriously or, if you were to win, not finding you deserving? If so, did that affect your confidence at all?
Sheri LaBrant: First, let me correct that. (Laughs) We didn't get two non-elimination legs. We got one "keep on racing."
Reality TV World: Okay, okay, I'll give you that. (Laughs)
Sheri LaBrant: I just want to put that out there.
Cole LaBrant: It's pretty much the same thing though, mom.
Sheri LaBrant: But it's not the same thing! It's not the same thing.
Cole LaBrant: It is. We finished last twice and should've been eliminated twice.
Sheri LaBrant: Yeah, well, we got lucky twice, but it was a "keep on racing" and a non-elimination.
Cole LaBrant: (Laughs)
Sheri LaBrant: But I'm actually perfectly fine that everyone thought we were the underdogs and underestimated us, because I think us staying under-the-radar kind of kept us in the game.
Reality TV World: On that note, since you were mostly in the back of the pack throughout the Race, did it sort of light a fire inside of you and add a lot of pressure, or was it a more disheartening situation in which you approached each leg thinking, "We'll just have fun and do our best, and hopefully we can make it to the next leg."
Sheri LaBrant: I think that was probably our strategy (laughs) through the whole thing. It was just to do our best and really have fun doing it and make it to the next leg. There were a few times that we knew that we were last, and so, in Chamonix, I told Cole, "I think scaling the side of the mountain is going to be faster," because I wasn't ready for us to be out.
So I said, "I think it will be faster," and then, on top of that, since we are last, if we are going to go out, let's go out doing something really fun, which is scaling the side of a mountain and not necessarily building a tent.
And we kind of did the same thing with racing the camels, you know? We knew we were last in Dubai, well, we just thought racing camels would be so much more fun than pulling a camel through a dessert.
Cole LaBrant: There was really no point throughout the entire race where we, or at least I, thought that we could win until the finale. Even in the finale, I still knew it was anybody's leg and anything could happen, but I mean, because of our leg history, it was pretty much like second to last, second to last, second to last, last, then a continuation, second to last, second to last, non-elimination.
So, like my mom said, really, our strategy was stay it in and make it to the next leg. Obviously we tried to win. It's not like we wanted to get second to last, but it was also just all in all, we were a physically weaker team. We just had fun, tried to stay positive and confident, and then other than that, anything else was just going to happen as it happened. So, we just gave it our all and got second!
