CHIP AND REICHEN WIN AMAZING RACE 4
Continuing their We're Masculine Gays campaign, Chip and Reichen appeared on CBS's EARLY SHOW Friday, Aug. 22, the morning after winning a million dollars on THE AMAZING RACE 4. 'There's such a stereotype of the feminine homosexual, and we just wanted to break that and show we could do anything,' Reichen Lehmkuhl, 28, told the audience.
Later that day, Reichen and hubby Chip Arndt, 36, angered the folks at Sirius OutQ when by blowing off a scheduled appearance on The Michelangelo Signorile Show—without even calling to cancel. Signorile producer Anthony Veneziano tracked Chip down by cell phone, but Chip simply said CBS had them all tied up for the day.
However, the couple and CBS had all agreed in advance to the OutQ interview, already knowing the results of the race and that the couple would have a heavy schedule for that post-finale Friday.
