The Amazing Race 4 is the fourth season of the American reality television show The Amazing Race. It featured twelve teams of two in a race around the world. The season premiered on CBS on May 29, 2003, and concluded on August 21, 2003. Married couple Reichen Lehmkuhl and Chip Arndt were the winners of the season, while engaged couple Jon Corso and Kelly Parks finished in second place, and best friends David Dean and Jeff Strand finished in third. Production The fourth season of The Amazing Race spanned across four continents and featured new locations in the Netherlands and South Korea. Filming for the show began on January 18, 2003, and finished on February 14. This was the last season where ties at the end were allowed at the mat. In subsequent seasons, even if several teams arrived at the mat on the same time, a chronological order would be determined and the official check-in times for teams arriving simultaneously would be set a minute apart to avoid ties. This was also the last season where a Fast Forward appeared in every leg. In 2004, this season of The Amazing Race won the series its second consecutive Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program. Cast This season's cast included a gay married couple, NFL wives, a pair of circus clowns, and air traffic controllers. The "NFL Wives", Monica & Sheree, were respectively married to Ashley Ambrose and Ray Buchanan, both of whom played for the Atlanta Falcons the season before the television series was filmed. At the time this season was filmed and broadcast, same-sex marriage had not yet been made legal in the United States. Reichen & Chip were never legally married, although they were married in a religious ceremony. CBS decided for the purpose of the show to respect the fact that they recognized themselves as a married couple. Not long after the season ended, Reichen revealed that he and Chip had separated. Future appearances In 2005, Reichen Lehmkuhl appeared on a "Reality All-Stars" episode of Fear Factor. Reichen also appeared as part of the cast of The A-List: New York in 2011. Monica & Sheree, now both divorced, appeared on Atlanta Exes in 2014. Results The following teams are listed with their placements in each episode. Placements are listed in finishing order.
