Reichen & Chip
Married Couple

BIO

Twenty-eight-year-old Reichen is a pilot and manages a flight school in Los Angeles. A former Air Force pilot, he is married to his teammate Chip. He loves skiing and flying and is very into being physically fit. He describes himself as "detail-oriented, caring and thrill-seeking." He speaks French and has traveled internationally quite a bit. Chip is disappointed that his partner is insecure about his "very liberal sexual views." He enjoys flirting with other guys, but that makes Chip upset. He likens himself to Ben Affleck--"intense"--and says Chip is like Bruce Willis: "steady and true." Reichen says he never procrastinates; he gets things done NOW.

Chip is 36 years old and is the president of a media company that mainly produces music-related projects. He attended Yale and Harvard Business School. He loves hiking in the mountains and participating in triathlons." He describes himself as "determined, free thinking and mindful." He says he is like Winston Churchill: "steady…never say no; anything is possible." Chip lived in Hong Kong for three years, in Paris for six months and in London for two years. He is in great physical shape.

Q&A

How would you describe your previous travel experience?
Reichen: Most of my experiences have been on the adventurous side. I've been all through Western Europe, Australia, Mexico and Canada, for some skiing.
Chip: I have traveled extensively and lived in Asia for two years. I trekked in Nepal and South America, but most of my recent travel has been to boardrooms and not the "outback." This will be fun.

What is the most stressful aspect of traveling?
Reichen: I hate packing for the trip. You might not pack enough, or worse, you might pack too much. It's not just stressful, it's boring, unless you're packing for THE AMAZING RACE.
Chip: Directions, getting the right ones.

What is the most important item in your backpack, and why?
Reichen: Energy bars and water. I get pretty irritated when I'm hungry.
Chip: Pen and paper, because this Race is not only about getting to a destination fleet of foot, but making sure you know the way and local languages.

Why did you want to be on THE AMAZING RACE?
Reichen: For the great experience, but mostly to fulfill the need to be honest about my life--to anyone.
Chip: To present a new type of gay relationship to the viewing audience and win.

Have you and your partner traveled together before? If so, what was it like?
Reichen: Chip and I have taken some killer trips overseas and in the great USA, too. Mostly ski trips. We once spent two weeks fishing and diving in the Great Barrier Reef. That was incredible.
Chip: We love to travel and explore new things all over the world. We usually travel well together because Reichen is so organized and I love to go!

What do you fear most about competing in THE AMAZING RACE?
Reichen: Hunger.
Chip: I don't have a fear, but getting lost will really frustrate me.

What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team?
Reichen: Strengths: time management and the ability to communicate with people. Weaknesses: my dependence on sleep and food in order to perform.
Chip: Strengths: stamina, well-traveled, situational awareness. Weaknesses: stubborn, over analytical, short fuse.

What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team?
Reichen: Strengths: Money management, and he's well-traveled. Weaknesses: "Paralysis through Analysis," and he doesn't like to admit if he doesn't know something.
Chip: Strengths: Organization, detail, focus and communication. Weaknesses: Allowing a mistake or bad luck to upset him.

What will you miss the most from home (besides your bed)?
Reichen: Fritz.
Chip: Hans.

What languages do you speak?
Reichen: French, English and a little German.
Chip: French.

What destination are you hoping to visit?
Reichen: Sydney or anywhere in Australia: my favorite place to travel.
Chip: Russia.

What country do you feel best prepared for?
Reichen: As many countries as we can possibly see. Bring it on! We're playing to win.
Chip: China and, in particular, Hong Kong.

It would be really fun to have your take on TAR4 - I personally am interested to see if these two men are discriminated against in any of the countries they travel to.

Very true, like Oshari does for the amazon. Would you be interested in writing a weekly recap/review of the episodes from a gay perspective, Rah Rah Peters?

After reading their bio's a couple of times - I have a feeling we'll be seeing lots of tiffs and pouting issued by these two.

Though the two of them share a marriage - Reichen openly and brazenly flirts with other men. This doesn't make for happiness for couples regardless of their sexual preference.

Apparently there's a bit of jealousy between them too, on other issues. I think we may have another couple of spitfires. :laff:

I also would encourage folks who live in the countries where the TAR4 racers travel to write a review on that episode. Makes it more personal and real.

Rah Rah - hope we can interest you in writing your views on what you see in the episodes.

My only request would be that you please register your account, so your name is reserved and no one else can post using it, since you'll be doing an "official recap".

Thank you for doing that, btw! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
