The show is a pioneering event in the world of gay married couples. Part of the game's rules is that the couple needs to have a legally recognized marriage to play.
"We're boldly going where no other same-sex couple has gone," Takei added. "We want to be seen [on the show] in context throughout society as no different from other couples who preceded us, in the context of normalcy and commitment to each other."
The other couples on the show Tuesday are Christopher Knight (Peter on "The Brady Bunch") and Adrianne Curry ("America's Next Top Model"), and Damien Gurganius and Nicole Brewer from "The Biggest Loser: Couples 2."
