Ryan Phillips and Chuck Horton are a team of Best Friends on The Amazing Race 7.
With most of the pack closely bunched together at the back due to a delayed flight, Ryan & Chuck found themselves on the last truck after the Detour with Megan & Heidi and Ron & Kelly. In a tight race between the three teams to the Pit Stop, Ryan & Chuck lost a footrace to Ron & Kelly, eliminating them in 11th place.
