Chuck & Wynona

Charles "Chuck" McCall and Wynona McCall are a Married couple on The Amazing Race 22.

The oldest team of their season, Chuck & Wynona frequently fell behind their younger competitors on physical tasks due to Wynona's inability to run as fast as Chuck could, which led to frequent bickering between them. Despite this, Chuck & Wynona's unique skill sets when it came to certain tasks, as well as a bit of luck, allowed them to make it to the final six. In the eighth leg, the married couple fell behind early on after Wynona again struggled physically on the Roadblock, though they still managed to make it to the Pit Stop before Joey & Meghan. However, Chuck & Wynona performed a task incorrectly and received a 30-minute penalty. This allowed the YouTubers to check in ahead of them, eliminating the married couple in 6th place.

However, due to Dave & Connor's withdrawal from the competition earlier in the leg, they were spared from elimination and instead checked in at 7th place. 4: Chuck & Wynona initially arrived 5th, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for rolling their cheese wheels down the hill during the Switchback instead of using the provided sled as their clue instructed.
