info


Lynn & Alex are a gay couple from West Hollywood, California. Lynn & Alex both work as executive assistants. With their four-year anniversary on the horizon, they signed up for the Race as a means to test the strength of their relationship.

Lynn is well traveled and lived abroad in Germany before settling down in Los Angeles. He and Alex met at a club four years ago and have been together ever since. An additional motivation for Lynn’s participation in the Race is to possibly get married in Amsterdam.
Alex has not informed his father about his sexual orientation, but he has introduced Lynn to his family. Like Lynn, he is also well traveled. Alex describes himself as personable and calculating, but admits he is bad at dealing with stress. Alex describes Lynn as smart but extremely lazy.

Lynn & Alex are both looking to find out what the future holds for their relationship and to see whether it will hold up under the stress of the Race.

Alex's father doesn't know? Well he will now.

What a way to find out that your son is gay.

Such an age difference! I'm surprised they've been together for 4 yr, that puts Alex at only 18 when they got together.

I never understand any couple's reason for going on the race to solidify/test (whatever) their relationship.

I agree with you about the age difference, Happymom. Alex would have been 18, and Lynn 26. That's kind of... strange...

Of course, 18 is legal age in most states, isn't it?

Ray and Deana have 17 years between them, so eight years difference for this couple doesn't seem at all odd to me. Come to think of it, these guys are now the ages of my parents when they were wed.

Yes, 18 is legal in most states. I just think that 18 is very young for guys or girls, but guys especially, to settle down with one person, it's just unusual...not saying unusual in a negative way, just the dictionary definition...unusual.

Eight years is nothing.. don't think any eyes would be blinking about a straight couple.

Well I'll be 100% behind them to begin with.. "family" and all that but I just pray that in their travels they learned to drive a manual transmission and on the right side of the road if necessary!

Gay or straight, 18 is pretty young for anyone to settle down, especially for a guy. Of course it does happen, hubby and I were 16 and 17 when we first began dating, married 19 years now and dated for 4 before our wedding.

Whatever makes him happy is all that really matters, and as long as no laws are being broken, age is just a number.

I think it's unusual that they are billed as "boyfriends" and not "dating."

I think it's beyond the "dating" stage. They live together and work together and have been together for four years.

It was just an nitpickyish (is that a word?) observation. I was just using "dating" as an example. I thought "boyfriends" just looked strange compared to "couple", "living together" or what not, since that is, from what I remember, generally used for a couple's description.

That was a lot of quotation marks. :-)

Anyhow, I'm not really rooting for them until I see the show.

They have that arrogant look. If there is such a thing as an arrogant look. I wont like them.

I wouldn't know their age difference just glancing at their picture.

My boyfriend and I are 81/2 years apart and I'm the 'older' one. lol I don't think if you looked at us you would know the age difference, at least I hope you wouldn't. *wink*

Eighteen does seem young to start such a serious relationship. And, I think the younger a person is, the more significant each year of age difference is. So, 8 years is a lot for an 18 year old. But, if it worked for them, good for them.

I think they look like an interesting couple. Lynn looks like a strong athletic type.

After watching their video... I'm pretty sure he is not. Apparently Alex had to convince him to be on the show with him.

There may be eight years difference, but seeing them on the show, I could never remember which one was the older.

They seem like nice guys, and they're fun to watch. Very easy to root for them.
