Chuck and Wynona McCall

These people are from Daphne, AL. Chuck is a retail manager at Walmart and is also a Taxidermist. Wynona is a Cosmetologist/Hairstylist. They are both avid reality TV show watchers. And as Wynona puts it; “It’s definitely harder than it looks.” Sure, they are both in their late 40’s. But we have seen that older couples in past Amazing Race seasons can win!

Reef Wranglers

Many people I know hates seeing other programming on The Weather Channel. But since these folks are from Baldwin County, I have to talk about them. Reef Wranglers is a limited four-episode series focusing on the adventures of the crew at Reefmaker, a business based at Walter Marine in Orange Beach, AL. These guys sink older boats in the Gulf of Mexico to create artificial reefs.
