Kathy & Chance
Lawyer Cousins, NSW
Kathy and Chace are both lawyers in it to win it. The two are cousins of Vietnamese heritage and describe themselves as young Asian Australians pushing boundaries. They grew up together and are very close, literally in the same household at one point. They have 250 relatives – 40 of which are first cousins. Both their parents escaped war-torn Vietnam as refugees. Together they have travelled through Europe and Vietnam, and are excited for their next adventure.
Extremely intelligent having both studied double degrees, the pair are strong willed, assertive, and often clash, which is something they’re working on. They will do anything to win, as long as it’s legal!
