Hung & Chee

Hung Nguyen and Chee Lee are a team of Married Parents on The Amazing Race 32.

Hung & Chee immediately emerged as contenders, winning the first two legs. They then joined the Mine Five alliance, which went on to dominate the race with its controversial answer-sharing tactics, with Hung & Chee themselves contributing to figuring out the answers in several tasks and sharing it with their allies. Despite communication problems between the two emerging at several points in the race due to Hung's controlling nature clashing with Chee's more laid-back one, their consistent racing abilities and reliance on the Mine Five eventually got them to the final three. However, in the final leg, Chee struggled with a needle in a haystack Roadblock early on, dropping them out of contention for the win and eventually finishing in 2nd place.
