Married parents Hung Nguyen and Chee Lee are taking their relationship to the next level by competing on The Amazing Race 32. It's always tough for couples to compete on TAR, as the show will certainly test even the best relationship in the world. It is assumed that married couples have probably known each other for longer, live together, and have a better dynamic overcoming disagreements and obstacles. However, the fans have seen innocent bickering between a couple spilling over into full-blown fights.
As The Amazing Race pairs race for $1 million dollars around the world, the couples must work extra hard to keep their relationships healthy and stable. On TAR 31, for instance, Big Brother 13 winner Rachel Reilly had an infamous meltdown where she told Brendon Villegas that “the Amazing Race was supposed to be good and fun!” Of course, Rachel and Brendon eventually got over it, but they certainly didn't win The Amazing Race. Nonetheless, the fans are expecting big things from married couple Hung Nguyen & Chee Lee, who did pretty well on the premiere.
Before becoming The Amazing Race stars, Hung and Chee were already married and had kids. They look like great competitors, but it must be noted that they are up against NFL football players, Olympic track-and-field stars, and professional volleyball players during this season. In their daily lives, they spend time raising their children, working, and binge-watching TV shows. As a married couple, it is safe to assume that Hung and Chee have been through a lot. They have traveled, dealt with finances, and overcame sickness together, which theoretically makes them better prepared to deal with the obstacles on TAR than pairs of friends or newly-dating couples.
Both Chee and Hung have their own skills that make them well-suited to win The Amazing Race season 32. For instance, Chee is a personal development coach who was born in a refugee camp in Galang, Indonesia and was raised as a refugee. Needless to say, these two are tough as nails. All things considered, it is not at all surprising that this power couple took first place in the TAR season 32 premiere.
This couple is primed for a good showing this season. Chee's main goal seems to be having a good time around the world, but the pair have already proven how competitive they can be.
The Amazing Race airs Wednesdays at 9pm ET on CBS.
