Pamela "Pam" Chien and Winnie Sung are a team of Best Friends on The Amazing Race 22.
Despite their obvious racing skills, they had a tendency to panic and make hasty decisions when they felt they were in danger. After spending the first half of the season cruising along near the top of the pack, they would fall apart in Botswana. Despite being in a solid 2nd for most of the seventh leg, including having two teams have to stop to pay speeding tickets, they imploded on the Detour, switching from the Brawn side of the Detour to the Brains and back, their second-guessing and inability to spot one of the animal cutouts putting them out in 7th.
