Reichen Lehmkuhl and Willis Chapman "Chip" Arndt, Jr. are a Married team and the Official Winners of The Amazing Race 4.
Though they often found themselves squabbling with other teams and making errors that would set them back, their consistency among a group of mistake-prone racers allowed them to make it to the final three. They then ran an almost flawless final leg, whilst their competitors made several key errors, which ultimately allowed them to win.
