Although there will be no second win for couple Uchenna and Joyce Agu on the hit reality series, The Amazing Race: All-Stars, many can still keep themselves updated on the couple’s progress, may it be about their baby plans or relationship struggles and milestones, by logging on to their personal website, UchennaAndJoyce.com. The couple does not possess any bitterness with regards to leaving the show, but they did think that the short video documenting their performance on the show was a bit underdone.

Because of their participation in the competition, Uchenna and Joyce have had the opportunity to travel around the world. Joyce greatly enjoyed going to Botswana and Punta Arenas in Pantagonia, while Uchenna cited the trip from Tanzania to Zanzibar as one of his favorite experiences from the show.

Uchenna and Joyce first joined the series on its’ seventh season, The Amazing Race 7. They were able to beat the other couple, Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich, by 45 minutes, even when Mariano and Brkich started the final leg of the race 7 minutes ahead of Uchenna and Joyce. The Agus had planned to use the one-million dollar prize money to fund their attempt to get pregnant through in-vitro fertilization.

Being part of The Amazing Race: All-Stars, Uchenna and Joyce came close to taking home another one million dollars, but because they missed their connecting flight going to Malaysia, they were forced trail behind the other groups, and ultimately were the ones eliminated at the ninth leg of the race.

According to the couple, they went into the competition hoping to use their game plan from the previous season. Unfortunately, it did not work out so well in this season of the show, but despite losing the competition, Uchenna and Joyce have no harsh words for the remaining couples. Joyce said that they were pleasantly surprised and quite impressed by the tandem of Dustin Leigh-Seltzer and Kandice Pelletier, both of whom are former beauty queens.
