Changes: Max & Katie

Revision as of 00:11, 8 August 2019

Max Bichler and Katherine "Katie" Bichler are a team of Newlyweds on The Amazing Race 22.

They established themselves as the villains in the first episode, a position which they apparently relished. Though Max's ego and Katie's rude tendencies were very clear to the audience, they managed to mostly hide them from the other teams, becoming much more popular with the cast than they were with the audience. After bumbling through the first two-thirds of the season, they caught fire, winning three straight legs heading into the finale, where Max ultimately stumbled on the luck-based Spy Switchback, taking forever to find his briefcase and allowing Bates to pass him up. They never had a chance after that, and they finished 2nd.
