00:00After 280,000 kilometers traveling from coast to coast to coast, and all around the world,
00:17Canada's favorite summertime adventure is back, where it all started over a decade ago.
00:23Go!
00:24For nine seasons, we've raced to amazing heights, and shared some unforgettable moments
00:37along the way.
00:38I can't believe I did it, unreal.
00:42And now, 11 new teams are ready to race.
00:49Michael and Tyson, best friends and professional baseball players from Vancouver.
00:54I got drafted with the Toronto Blue Jays, played with them for seven years.
00:59I was drafted by the Seattle Mariners, playing with the Philadelphia Phillies as well.
01:05We actually got to play a couple tours together.
01:08We were teammates for Team Canada.
01:12We not only bring in the physicality, we're the Mr. Congenialities.
01:17Racers better beware.
01:18We're coming.
01:19We're coming.
01:24Kevin and Gurleen, newly dating couple from Calgary and Abbotsford, British Columbia.
01:29I'm Kevin.
01:30I won Big Brother Canada.
01:32I'm Gurleen.
01:33You might know me from Farming for Love, and we both met on Traders Canada.
01:38You guys know I'm a faithful.
01:41Look at the evidence.
01:42How could I have played this game as a trader?
01:44I just feel sad that Kevin left.
01:50We have only really been dating for eight months, but we're madly in love.
01:55Kevin is the man of my dreams, literally.
01:57Oh, my God, that's too much.
01:58Like, that's too much.
02:00Eva and Tristan, best friends from Toronto.
02:04Eva and I met about four years ago.
02:08We work out of the same gym, and we have been linked at the hip ever since.
02:15To train with us, be ready to work hard.
02:18Eva and I inspire and empower those around us.
02:21Period.
02:22Period.
02:23Woo!
02:24Get it!
02:27Michael and Amari, father and son from Thunder Child, First Nation, Saskatchewan.
02:33I was 21 when Amari was born.
02:35Like, I think he peaked in maturity when he had me, and I never developed from there,
02:40so I'm being raised by a 20-year-old my whole life.
02:45I'm a retired pro basketball player.
02:48I am in the North American Indigenous Athletic Hall of Fame.
02:51When there's cash on the line, there's not a smile on his face.
02:56I'm not actually competing with my dad.
02:58I'm competing with money Mike.
03:01Not magic Mike.
03:02Not magic, money.
03:04Taylor and Katie, best friends from Edmonton.
03:08We're freestyle wrestlers.
03:11Freestyle wrestling is a tough sport.
03:136 a.m. practices, bruises, sore bodies.
03:18Last year, we had the opportunity to leave the University of Alberta as champs, which
03:22is where we got these awesome rings.
03:24And this year, we want to leave the amazing race, Canada, as champs.
03:31Dorothy and Elouse, married couple from Calgary.
03:34We moved to Canada from Lagos, Nigeria, three years ago.
03:38We want to represent people who came to Canada with only a few boxes and a lot of dreams.
03:43Look at us, love birds.
03:46This is actually a dream come true for us.
03:48We've really always wanted to learn about every part of Canada, and there's no one else
03:53I would rather travel with than Dorothy.
03:55Oh, stop it!
03:57Colin and Matt, best buds from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador.
04:01We want to be part of the amazing race, Canada.
04:05We've made audition videos for the amazing race, Canada, since season one.
04:09And they're embarrassing.
04:11They are embarrassing to say the least.
04:14Lack of a better word.
04:16We met in high school, so we've just been best friends ever since.
04:19Now we're a little bit older, we're a little bit wiser, and we're going to represent the
04:22great folks of the Rock.
04:24Yes, my!
04:28Brad and Sam, father and daughter from Toronto.
04:32My name is Brad May, and I played in the NHL for 18 seasons.
04:36My nickname, Mayday, came from an overtime goal in 1993.
04:44As an eight-year-old girl, my dad winning the Cup, it was so cool.
04:47He's my best friend, my hero, my biggest supporter.
04:51Growing up with my dad playing hockey definitely taught me to be tough.
04:55At the end of the day, it's Team Mayday.
04:56All day.
04:57All day.
04:58Every day.
04:59Yeah, baby.
05:00Let's go.
05:01From the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, it's time to start the Amazing Race Canada.
05:31Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
05:55go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
06:01It's happening, baby.
06:04Oh, there he is.
06:14Welcome to Niagara Falls and welcome to Season 10 of the Amazing Race Canada.
06:20Let's go, Johnny.
06:23This is the very spot where this adventure started over 10 years ago.
06:30And now, it's your turn.
06:36Yeah, baby.
06:37Lauren and Nicole, first of all, how do I tell who is who?
06:41You don't.
06:42You don't.
06:43I'm Lauren.
06:44And I'm Nicole.
06:46We're bringing that twin energy, so twinnergy.
06:49Twinnergy.
06:50That twin telepathy, that double trouble.
06:54There's actually two different sides of us.
06:56We like to dress up, walk a red carpet.
06:58But also, we are not afraid at all to get our hands dirty, get our hair wet.
07:03Season 10 is go big or go home.
07:05And I am so excited to kick some ass with my partner in crime.
07:09Oh, yeah, baby.
07:11Julie and Olivia, what are the two of you going to be bringing to this race?
07:14We have 10 years of being together and one year of marriage.
07:18We're here to bring it.
07:19We're bringing discipline, energy, and power.
07:24We train for endurance competitions five to six times a week.
07:28And it is a grueling activity.
07:31We swim, cycle, and run.
07:33To all the other teams, watch out.
07:36Good luck.
07:37The storm is coming.
07:39Connor and John, what are the two of you hoping to show Canadians who are watching?
07:43I'm trying to show the Canadians, not only myself, but the wonderful, inspirational community of little people,
07:49that we are not only the same as everyone else physically, but also mentally.
07:53And there's no one here I would rather have than my best friend, Connor.
07:57Yeah, buddy.
08:00Connor and I met last week at McMaster University.
08:03First interaction we have, he's hitting on my girlfriend.
08:05And I'm like, who the hell is this guy?
08:08I ended up hitting it off with him.
08:10And now we're besties.
08:12In terms of my career, I'm an influencer.
08:15I really just make content that will make people laugh.
08:19Having the courage to be who you are is nothing but inspiring.
08:25Do you want to know what you're racing for?
08:32For the team that makes it to the final leg and crosses the finish line first, you will win
08:38the first ever 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS.
08:43That's one for each of you.
08:47Because you were made to travel, our friends at Expedia will be sending you on a dream trip for two around the world.
08:56A quarter of a million dollars cash.
09:00And the amazing race Canada.
09:08Are you ready to go?
09:11Your first clue is on the bags that you brought with you.
09:14Good luck.
09:16Race safe.
09:18Make Canada proud.
09:28Go!
09:30Let's go! Let's go!
09:32Oh, they're fast.
09:33We're on the amazing race Canada, baby!
09:35Here we go.
09:38Roadblock.
09:39Who's down to go first?
09:40Me.
09:42In this roadblock, one racer will attempt what no ordinary human has ever done before.
09:47Go over the falls and descend 180 feet down one of four rappel lines.
09:54Alongside this raging waterfall to retrieve their next clue.
10:01I'm going to go first.
10:02Me?
10:03You are.
10:04Okay.
10:05You got it, baby.
10:06I'm going first.
10:07I'll go first.
10:08Do it.
10:09You have $500 for this leg of the race.
10:10Let's go.
10:11Right here.
10:12Right here.
10:13I think this way.
10:14Horseshoe Falls.
10:15We got to get all the way over there.
10:16Yeah.
10:17You got the cash?
10:18Yeah, I got it.
10:19Let's go.
10:20Oh my God.
10:21Overlooking the Horseshoe Falls in front of the Table Rock Centre.
10:22Dad, do you know where?
10:23Yeah.
10:24People are following us.
10:25Let's go.
10:26I know it's down that way.
10:27It's a bit of a run.
10:28We got this, baby.
10:29You set the pace.
10:30This is good.
10:31You set the pace.
10:32We're good.
10:34This is a really wet day.
10:36Do we want a taxi?
10:37I don't think so.
10:38Should we ask someone how far away it is?
10:39Let's get a bus.
10:40To the falls.
10:41To the falls.
10:42Let's do it.
10:43First come, first serve.
10:44We got to go.
10:45Okay, run.
10:46Are you going to the falls?
10:47We want to go to the outdoor observation deck to the Horseshoe Falls.
10:49Perfect.
10:50Let's go.
10:51Horseshoe Falls.
10:52Let's go.
10:53Taylor's going to be rappelling down the side.
10:55I don't know why.
10:56The adrenaline is hitting me so freaking hard right now.
10:59We're literally going to pass the other teams.
11:01We're trying to get a cab.
11:03Bye-bye.
11:04See you.
11:05Bye.
11:06See you later.
11:09Guys, did you get the money?
11:12I dropped it.
11:13For real?
11:14Yeah.
11:15I don't have it.
11:16No freaking way.
11:18No freaking way.
11:22Let's go do this.
11:24I dropped the money.
11:26Oh, boy.
11:27Outdoor observation.
11:29Table Rock Center.
11:30Wow.
11:31What a view.
11:40It's just absolutely unbelievable.
11:43This race has begun.
11:45Vet moved to get on the bus.
11:47Everybody starts running.
11:48I'm telling you, that's not how you win the race.
11:50You got to use this, baby.
11:52I think we're in first place right now.
11:54I am not nervous about heights.
11:56I'm really excited.
11:58How did they get here?
11:59Dang.
12:00Let's go, baby.
12:01Damn.
12:02I'm a little disappointed.
12:03I thought we were in first place.
12:04I mean, they got here quick, eh?
12:06I hate heights.
12:07I hope you know that.
12:08Perfect.
12:09Not perfect.
12:10You're going to be lowering down on this rope on the side of the cliff at Niagara Falls.
12:13This is like a little gas pedal.
12:15If you pull it up, you're going to lower slowly.
12:17Okay.
12:18I can't fall, right?
12:21Step mobile.
12:22Step mobile.
12:28I can hear the falls rumbling behind me.
12:31I am absolutely terrified.
12:35She's losing her mind right now.
12:38Oh my...
12:39Okay.
12:40Well, here goes nothing.
12:42John's about to rappel from about 200 feet up there.
12:47Oh, that is cold already.
12:49Oh yeah, there it is.
12:50Cool.
12:51Wow, this is very nerve-wracking.
12:52Oh my God.
12:53Set.
12:55Pull.
12:56Pull.
12:57Go, Taylor!
12:58Woo-hoo!
12:59There she is!
13:00Yes, Taylor!
13:01Hi, baby!
13:03This is the wildest thing I have ever done in my life.
13:07We're doing it.
13:08Let's go.
13:11The tricky part with this lever is that you have to control the speed.
13:16If you go too fast, you'll go past the clue,
13:18and that will put us at the back of the line.
13:21Let's get that clue!
13:28Yes!
13:29Woo-hoo!
13:30Woo!
13:32Yeah!
13:34I'm so proud of her.
13:35That was amazing!
13:38I just rappelled down Niagara Falls!
13:42They want me to look down.
13:43I literally haven't looked down yet.
13:45Elevator.
13:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:47Here, come this way.
13:48Number one!
13:49I did it so fast!
13:51Come on, girlie!
13:52I'm not looking!
13:56Detour.
13:57Game time or show time?
13:59Teams will make their way to the eclectic and electric entertainment district
14:03known as Clifton Hill.
14:08In game time, teams will find the Great Canadian Midway
14:11and play any of these race-marked games.
14:15Once they win 400 tickets, they'll receive their next clue.
14:21In show time, teams will recite historical facts about Niagara Falls
14:25to a group of tourists.
14:28They'll need to memorize these 77 words
14:30and perform with the corresponding props to receive their next clue.
14:36We're going to go to show time.
14:37Show time.
14:38Okay, let's go.
14:39Let's go.
14:40There's only four rappel lines,
14:41so any team after that is going to have to wait.
14:44We're number one right now.
14:45Number one!
14:46Let's go, Lori!
14:48This is the first time he's done anything like this.
14:50What the heck?
14:53Oh, my God.
14:56Oh, yeah, speed up a little bit.
14:57I don't get the angle there.
14:59Now that you can totally get down, Kevin,
15:01you better buy me a really nice ring.
15:03Okay, I got my clue.
15:05There you go, son!
15:06Good job!
15:08I'm soaked!
15:11I can't even imagine what's going through his head right now.
15:16Yes, get that clue!
15:18Yes!
15:20Yes!
15:21She got it.
15:22I hated it!
15:23You have to buy me a really big ring.
15:25Baby, I love you so much.
15:27Let's do game time.
15:28Game time.
15:29Okay, let's do it.
15:30What game are we going to play?
15:31The basketball one?
15:32I think we're going to kill that one.
15:34We're going to do game time.
15:35Let's go play some games.
15:36My leg hurts.
15:38My legs hurt.
15:39How are you feeling?
15:40I'm tired.
15:41This is just your legs, though?
15:42Yes.
15:44I don't know whether it's because of the cold.
15:46It's just, I feel so sick.
15:49As I'm running down the boardwalk to Horseshoe Falls,
15:52something is wrong with my legs right now.
15:55Oh, my legs!
16:00I want to go home!
16:02My legs!
16:08Oh!
16:10I know he's free.
16:12Oh, my God.
16:13I've seen a few racers come down now.
16:15I'm getting a little nervous here.
16:17Let's go!
16:18Just drive it!
16:19There you go!
16:20It is insane to be this close to the falls.
16:23She is moving with the road.
16:26Come on.
16:27She just got the clue.
16:28Drive, drive, drive, drive!
16:30Yes!
16:31Let's go!
16:33That was epic!
16:35That was epic!
16:36Grapple, baby!
16:39One thing about Tyson, we go at $1,000 per hour.
16:43Hey!
16:44Slow him down, man!
16:47Let's go!
16:48Let's go, baby!
16:49Let's go!
16:50Let's go!
16:51Let's go!
16:53The money that we dropped early on.
16:55Keep your eyes peeled.
16:56They'll come in anywhere.
16:57Every time we have to run, it reminds me that we have no money.
17:01We lost our money right at the beginning.
17:03We got to get back to the starting point to find our money ASAP,
17:06or we're screwed for this rest of the leg.
17:09This sucks.
17:10Oh, God!
17:12But I will not get frustrated.
17:14Just frustration helps nobody in life.
17:20I've been challenged my entire life to face stuff
17:22that isn't made for the average little person,
17:24so I just have to keep feeding myself slack.
17:27Go, John!
17:28I'm not going to let Connor down,
17:29and I'm definitely not going to let myself down.
17:33Yeah, John.
17:34Get in there.
17:36Stop the glue.
17:37Let's go, baby!
17:38Woo!
17:39Let's go!
17:40Yeah!
17:41You're too good.
17:44First challenge, heights.
17:46Perfect!
17:47I hate heights!
17:48Want to go game time?
17:49Let's go, baby.
17:50That was super badass.
17:51Yeah.
17:52The ladies are going to love it.
17:53You got it, baby!
17:55That's it, Lauren!
17:57Secured.
17:59No more trouble in the house.
18:01Showtime.
18:02Let's do showtime.
18:06Come on, Taylor!
18:07Okay, we chose showtime.
18:08We chose showtime.
18:09Yes.
18:10Woo!
18:12You must use the props as directed on the script.
18:15Welcome to Clifton Hill, otherwise known as Street of Fun.
18:18We have to memorize a script
18:21that talks about bizarre facts about Niagara Falls.
18:24All of that force can produce 4 million kilowatts of electricity.
18:28That bulb represents the generating of electrical power,
18:31which is what the falls do.
18:33Say, do you remember Annie Edson Taylor?
18:35She went over the falls in a barrel and survived with a cat.
18:39Meow!
18:40French acrobat Charles Blondin crossed the falls on a tightrope.
18:44Charles stopped with a stove on his back,
18:46cooked an omelet,
18:47and lowered it down to the passengers of the Maid of the Mist.
18:53My legs!
18:55Okay.
18:56My legs hurt.
18:57We are almost there.
18:58Do you know we're almost there?
19:02Eva and Tristan are behind us at the moment.
19:04What place are you?
19:05We're 10th.
19:06Okay, so we're last.
19:07Oh, no.
19:08No, we're not.
19:09Oh, no, we're not? Jeez.
19:10My legs!
19:11Okay, we're in, like, 9th place. I love it.
19:14That's the power of positive thinking right there.
19:16Way to go, Sam!
19:17Secure the clue.
19:18Cute Lulu is secured.
19:20Let's just get down this thing.
19:22Yeah!
19:23That's my girl!
19:24Game time. We're going game time.
19:26Let's go.
19:27I don't know where that is.
19:28Is that not where you and Mom had your first date?
19:30No.
19:31Skyline Tower, maybe.
19:32Great Canadian Midway, Dad. It's an arcade.
19:35Sweetie, stop.
19:36I'm almost positive.
19:37Can we slow down and focus?
19:39We're very similar, me and my dad.
19:40We're both stubborn.
19:41Let's go.
19:42I saw other teams run this way.
19:43Let's go.
19:44Okay, fair enough.
19:46This is it.
19:47Great Canadian Midway Arcade, 1,000%.
19:49Sticker, sticker, sticker.
19:51Oh, yes!
19:53We got to get 400 tickets.
19:54400 tickets.
19:55I've been training for this moment since he was a kid, so.
19:57My dad's my hero.
19:58I'm kind of following in his footsteps.
20:00I'm playing college basketball in Edmonton.
20:03Let's go, let's go.
20:04Come on, guy.
20:05Money Mike.
20:07How many was that?
20:09Twelve?
20:10Yeah, we got to find a different game.
20:12Yeah, we're going to play arcade games.
20:14I play games for a living every day, baby.
20:16We're going to go smash this up.
20:17I'm a poker player.
20:18I'm massive in the poker world.
20:20I can think through games at a high level.
20:22I got a really good strategy, Trevor.
20:24So instead of playing on this game,
20:26I'm going to throw them over here,
20:28and we're going to use that machine.
20:30Woo!
20:33You got it, baby.
20:34You got it so good.
20:36Oh, we got 25.
20:37Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
20:38We're doing this.
20:39We're doing this.
20:40We're here in the arcade looking for a certain game
20:43that we can play.
20:44Do you feel like shooting?
20:47Tap, tap.
20:48Julie and Olivia try to use the machine beside me,
20:51but obviously I took all the balls.
20:53That one didn't work.
20:54I didn't think I'd be lying this early in the game, babe.
20:57I can't help myself.
20:58It's so good, babe.
20:59It's so good.
21:02We got to find a game.
21:03Feeling confident?
21:04We feel like we can get this done.
21:07Okay.
21:08There's words in bold that you have to include.
21:10Welcome to Clifton Hill, also known as the street of fun.
21:15A French acrobat, Charles Blondin,
21:21tight-roped across the falls 300 times.
21:27Charles also strapped a stove to his back and fried omelets.
21:33I'm sorry.
21:34That's incorrect.
21:35Okay.
21:36There's words in bold that you have to include in the proper order,
21:39so let's just make sure we say it properly.
21:41You got this, Colin.
21:42Yeah, there it is.
21:43Yeah, there it is.
21:44There it is.
21:45Woo-hoo!
21:46That was unreal.
21:47That was insane.
21:48Well done.
21:49I'm in.
21:50We're still in it.
21:51We're still in it.
21:52You got this, friend.
21:54God has not given me a spirit of fear.
21:59Can I let go?
22:00Okay.
22:01There you go.
22:02Got it.
22:04My legs hurt so bad, but I just have to keep pushing.
22:09You can do it, baby.
22:14There she is!
22:16Okay, Tristan, you got this!
22:20Lean back.
22:21There you go.
22:22Get it!
22:23We're going to do short times.
22:24Let's go.
22:25Dorothy the Explorer!
22:27Go, Dorothy!
22:28Go, Dorothy!
22:29Go, Dorothy!
22:30Go, Dorothy!
22:31That's my girl.
22:33Oh, wow.
22:36All right, we're back to the start,
22:38kind of where we think we possibly might have dropped the money.
22:41Scan.
22:43No, no, no.
22:45We got nothing, huh?
22:47Somewhere around here.
22:48We thought it would be here, but it's not, so...
22:50Do the best we can, and, man, that's all we can do.
22:52Let's go.
22:53All right.
22:54We got no luck.
22:55Now we have to run the rest of the leg.
22:57Disaster!
23:02It's really important for us to get out of here quick,
23:04as there's many teams that have already showed up.
23:06Which was the location of the first challenge
23:08of the first running of the Amazing Race Canada.
23:10Boo!
23:11Well, during these crossings, he strapped a stove to his back
23:15where he fried omelets for the passengers.
23:18I'm so sorry, you didn't get it.
23:20Oh, God.
23:21There's other teams.
23:22Come on, Taylor, we're so close.
23:24We got to this detour first,
23:26and we're slowly losing that lead that we started off with.
23:30He cooked an omelet and lowered it down to the passengers
23:33on the Maid of the Mist.
23:38Come on.
23:39I'm a little bit frustrated.
23:40Arcades are so fun.
23:41I always have a good time here.
23:43What do I do?
23:44He gets a little flustered at them, clearly.
23:46It's chaotic in there.
23:47I'm 52 years old.
23:48The noise drove me crazy.
23:50Are you doing well?
23:51No.
23:52I suck.
23:53God, I suck.
23:54Come on.
23:55No, you don't.
23:56Yep, got to get out of that mindset.
23:57Kevin is doing great.
23:58He's doing amazing.
23:59I love him.
24:00He's the best.
24:01Now we just have a few more rounds,
24:02and we should be out of here.
24:03We have to get up to 400.
24:04That's it.
24:05It's done.
24:06We're good.
24:07We're good.
24:0815 more tickets.
24:09Are you ready?
24:10Yeah.
24:11Awesome.
24:12So here you go.
24:13Let's go.
24:14Let's go.
24:15Come here, baby.
24:16How?
24:17What were they playing?
24:18Thank you.
24:19Thank you.
24:20Make your way to Make Your Way.
24:21Nightmare's Fear Factory.
24:22One team will win the assist by Dead Jordan
24:24for the next challenge.
24:25OK, let's go.
24:26This is the haunted house.
24:27It's on top of the hill.
24:28OK, what is it called?
24:29OK, let's go.
24:30The Fear Factory.
24:31Do you want to stop and ask for directions?
24:32Yeah.
24:33Hi.
24:34Can you really help us?
24:35We were hoping to get a challenge like this,
24:36so we're hoping we can buy some time here.
24:38We're so ready for it.
24:39Two years ago, we moved to LA to pursue acting.
24:41We've had to memorize pages of scripts.
24:43OK, we're going to try it once.
24:44We think we're ready.
24:45We're going to send it.
24:46Let's just see what happens.
24:47French?
24:48Oh, that's what I missed.
24:49Can you actually remember what Annie Edson Taylor
24:50did here on October 24, 1901?
24:52She was actually the first and oldest person
24:55to go over the falls and survive.
24:57She did it on her 63rd birthday with her cat.
25:00Meow, meow.
25:03We're not really sure what we're missing right now,
25:05so it's just go time.
25:07It's go time.
25:08He actually cooked an omelette
25:10and he served it to his passengers
25:12on the Maid of the Mist.
25:14Congratulations.
25:17They just finished.
25:18It looks like they're on to their next one.
25:20Let's go.
25:21Yeah!
25:23Nightmare's Fear Factory in search for your clue inside.
25:26Here, let's find a worker.
25:27Let's ask right here.
25:28Where's the fear factory?
25:29Excuse me.
25:30Do you know where the Nightmare's Fear Factory is?
25:32Right turn, get up on the block,
25:34on the left-hand side.
25:36Come on, baby.
25:37Let's go.
25:38Let's go!
25:39Okay, so right through the cat.
25:42Let's go, ladies.
25:43Oh, yeah, baby.
25:45While having a stove strapped to his back
25:48and fried omelettes...
25:50I'm sorry, you didn't get in.
25:52Oh, my God, what are we doing?
25:54Whoa.
25:56Okay.
25:57I see a few things here,
25:59so I think we're, like, finally catching up.
26:02Boo!
26:03Ah!
26:05Nightmare's Fear Factory.
26:06Want to check it?
26:08Root info.
26:09Brave look right.
26:11Over the last three decades,
26:13over 180,000 people have chickened out
26:17of making it through this...
26:19Very haunted house!
26:23Once teams find the Nightmare's Fear Factory,
26:25they'll need to make it through the hair-raising hallways
26:28of this former coffin factory.
26:31If they survive the scare,
26:32they'll need to memorize a color combination
26:34unique to each team,
26:36then proceed to the Illumination Tower
26:38to light up the falls in their specific colors.
26:41Returning to the race is the Assist by Desjardins.
26:44This time on Select Challenges,
26:46the Assist will be a winnable pass
26:48that one lucky team will find hidden in their clue.
26:52Tonight, the Assist by Desjardins
26:54will give them a little extra help
26:55as they light up the falls.
26:57Let's go, let's go.
26:58We got to go in.
27:00Okay?
27:01It's okay.
27:02Memorize a sequence of colors.
27:04Have fun, okay? Good luck.
27:06Hey, baby, I don't like this.
27:09Okay, okay.
27:12Come this way. Come, baby.
27:14No, don't leave me, baby.
27:15Baby, where are we going?
27:20Baby, it was all fake.
27:21Memorize these colors.
27:24Oh, it's so great.
27:27Right here.
27:28It's going to jump out, baby.
27:31Oh, my gosh.
27:32Just say it a bunch of times over and over in your head.
27:35Physically, we are a strong team,
27:37but our memorization isn't the greatest.
27:40Just keep saying it.
27:41Purple, blue, red, green, purple.
27:47Fix my hair if you're going to touch my head.
27:51Yes, yes.
27:52Major league, major league.
27:54Yes.
27:55Awesome.
27:56Yes, thank you, thank you.
27:58Okay, I think we have enough.
28:00No, no.
28:01Come here, come here.
28:02Congratulations.
28:03Thank you very much.
28:04Thank you so much.
28:05Let's go, baby.
28:06Let's go, baby.
28:07Yes!
28:08Awesome.
28:09Let's go.
28:10Congratulations.
28:11100% that we have enough tickets.
28:12Let's check.
28:13Hey.
28:14316.
28:15A little bit ways to go.
28:16Right here, playing baseball definitely helps.
28:18Tyson's just whipping it.
28:20Do you see any cabs?
28:22I'm looking for one. Let's go.
28:23Baby, I love you.
28:24I love you. Focus on us, focus on us.
28:26Come on, drive.
28:27I know, man. I'm trying.
28:29Taking the scenic settings of the butterfly conservatory.
28:36Okay, pause.
28:37Do you want to do the other one or no?
28:38What do you mean?
28:39Do you want to keep this one?
28:40I think we can do it.
28:41We can do this one?
28:42How do you feel? Yeah.
28:43This area was the very first.
28:44Is it area?
28:45I went to an art school, but I majored in dance, not acting.
28:51Okay.
28:52I think what we have to do is we have to break it down into four different parts,
28:55and we just memorize the first couple lines.
28:57I've always been a pretty good public speaker, and I'm an English teacher,
29:00so I teach my kids how to public speak.
29:02Welcome to Clifton Hill, otherwise known as the Street of Fun.
29:08During his crossing, Charles stopped with a stove on his back, cooked an omelet.
29:12During one of his crossings, Charles stopped with a stove on his back,
29:15cooked an omelet, and lowered it down to the passengers on the Maid of the Mist.
29:20Congratulations.
29:24I think they just got it.
29:25Nightmare's Fear Factor, here we come.
29:27A French acrobat, Charles Blondin, tightroped 300 times, crossed the falls.
29:35During these crossings, he also strapped a stove to his back and fried an omelet.
29:40I'm so sorry, you didn't get it.
29:42Holy Hannah. Okay. Holy Hannah.
29:45Okay. Holy Hannah. Crossed the falls on a tightrope 300 times,
29:48cooked an omelet, and lowered it down to the passengers on the Maid of the Mist.
29:53What are we doing wrong?
29:58Unbelievable. Say, do you remember what Andy Edson Taylor did here on October 24, 1901?
30:03The very first location of the very first running race of Amazing Race Canada.
30:08Do you want to try it?
30:09I don't know the rest of the second half.
30:11Oh my gosh, Eva.
30:12You got this. Come on, come on. Don't worry.
30:14This area has long been known as a honeymooner's paradise.
30:18Tristan.
30:19Huh?
30:20Do you want to switch?
30:21Yeah, like, we're going to switch to game time.
30:24There's a lot of memorizing in that, and I feel like we have to just do it faster.
30:29See, look, the boys are still here.
30:32Basketball.
30:33Yes, yes, perfect.
30:34This is our game right here. Tyson is, like, going above and beyond, killing the clown.
30:40Yay!
30:43Nightmares, fear, factory. Let's go.
30:46Just saw the boys left.
30:48Let's go. Keep pushing.
30:50Knocking these clowns down are like locking down the clowns in the race.
30:58And he cooked an omelette and gave it to everyone on the Maid of the Mist.
31:01Cross the falls on a tightrope 300 times.
31:04I don't know what we're missing, man.
31:06I need to say cooked an omelette. Oh, I keep saying fried an omelette. Don't I?
31:10Yeah, you do.
31:11Cooked an omelette.
31:12Yeah, okay, let's go.
31:14We're back again.
31:17Way to Nightmares, fear, factory.
31:18The girls are still there?
31:19Yeah.
31:20Charles also did this with a stove strapped to his back and cooked an omelette for the passengers down below.
31:29Congratulations, you guys.
31:34Make your way to Nightmares, fear, factory.
31:37Boo.
31:38A ghost.
31:43Oh, God, this is how it ends.
31:51Green, blue, green, red, purple.
31:53Okay, keep that to yourself so it doesn't bother me.
31:56Well, don't breathe in my ear either.
31:59I'm pretty sure Nightmares is up here.
32:02Come on, John, it's right here.
32:04Rude info, and an assist.
32:07This means you don't have to memorize the color combination. You guys are good to go.
32:10We just have to haunt.
32:12Oh, yeah.
32:14Oh, he grabbed my ear.
32:16Now that is a good photo.
32:18The illumination tower.
32:19Yeah, we have a lot of money left. We could use a taxi at some point.
32:23If we see one, we'll grab it.
32:27We're number one.
32:28I think we're number one.
32:29Yeah, we can smell. We know we are.
32:30It's right there. This is the tower.
32:32Let's light it up.
32:35Hi.
32:36Hi, sir.
32:37Blue, purple, green, blue, red.
32:43Green, red, purple, blue, purple.
32:50Congratulations.
32:54Take a look at this.
32:55That's amazing.
32:56Teams must now make their way to the tunnel at the Niagara Parks Power Station.
33:01Here in this former power plant, teams will learn the powerful history of the falls as they take one elevator down.
33:09We're descending down approximately 180 feet.
33:13Once they reach the bottom, they'll run through the tunnel, a 2,200-foot-long subterranean passage.
33:19This observation platform at the base of the Horseshoe Falls will act as the pit stop for the first leg of the race.
33:26The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
33:31Run. Let's go. Go, go, go.
33:33Cow drivers, the cow's coming out.
33:34Where is it?
33:35Go, go.
33:36Yeah.
33:37There's another team coming out.
33:38Power station, tunnel. Do you know where that is?
33:39We want to try and get first.
33:40Let's go.
33:41Johnny, wait for us.
33:42The ginger legend.
33:44Red, purple, blue, red, green.
33:49Purple, red, blue, green, purple.
33:52I think we may need to go back.
33:53I really hope not.
33:55Oh, there's a thing there. Do we go to that?
33:57Yeah, probably.
33:58Let me think here. I know my two outsides were the exact same.
34:02Blue, purple, red.
34:06Ladies, that was correct.
34:07Yes! Thank you.
34:09Double trouble.
34:11Okay.
34:12Do you know where the Niagara Parks power station is?
34:14On the right side. First big building.
34:16On the right? Are we close?
34:17Yeah.
34:18You're 100% sure you know where to go?
34:20Oh, yeah.
34:21We didn't see anyone leaving the challenge ahead of us.
34:23Let's go to the power station. It's right there.
34:25I see lights. I see tunnel.
34:27We could be first.
34:28Yeah.
34:29Come on, John!
34:32I know I was purple on the outside.
34:34I know that.
34:35I remember my colors, but my dad doesn't remember his.
34:37Yeah. Let's go again.
34:39But instead of going all the way back to the haunted house,
34:41I think we're just going to keep trying until we get it.
34:43Red, green, purple, blue, red, green.
34:47Red, green, purple, blue, red, green, purple.
34:55Congratulations.
34:56Yeah!
34:57Oh, my God, dude.
34:58Find John at your first pit stop.
34:59So we got to go find the tunnel.
35:01I think we're just going to run.
35:02Look at that.
35:03Green, red, blue, green.
35:08Yay!
35:09We're going to the tunnel at the Niagara Parks power station.
35:12Hey, taxi, taxi.
35:14Oh, they're in there.
35:16Team Newfoundland all the way?
35:17Yeah.
35:18First pit stop, brother.
35:19Let's do it.
35:22Can we come?
35:23Shut him before anyone else gets in.
35:25Thank you.
35:26Work began on the tunnel in 1901.
35:29We're descending down now 180 feet.
35:32Remember this bit.
35:33That's it.
35:34Oh, I see tunnel.
35:35Sprint to the finish line, baby.
35:38Let's go, let's go.
35:40I've never been so excited to see John.
35:42On this side here, we have a shaft that spun 250 revolutions a minute.
35:49Thank you so much.
35:50You're doing so good, baby.
35:51I love you.
35:52Come on.
35:53We're almost there.
35:59Look at this.
36:00Wow.
36:01Welcome to Niagara Falls, Ontario.
36:03Thank you.
36:04Thank you.
36:05Kevin and Gurleen, you're not done yet.
36:07Before I can check you in, I've got a question to ask you.
36:10If you'd reach into that vase and hand it to me.
36:15When did the construction on this tunnel begin?
36:19You got it, baby.
36:20I believe you.
36:211901.
36:22Kevin and Gurleen, you're team number one.
36:25Come on, baby.
36:27You're so good, Gurleen.
36:29Because you were made to travel, our friends at Expedia are sending you on a dream trip for two to India.
36:37Thank you.
36:39Gurleen and I work every hour of every single day, so to get this time with each other on a trip where you come from.
36:45Yeah.
36:46This is beautiful.
36:47So sweet.
36:48Because Expedia wants to make this a dream trip that you will never forget, they're giving you $10,000.
36:55You're my best friend.
36:56I love you.
36:58Lauren and Nicole, how far down does the elevator descend?
37:02180 feet.
37:04In unison?
37:05You're team number two.
37:06Feels good.
37:07You know, there's two of us, so we have to come in second.
37:11And Charles cooks an omelette and gives everyone in the made of the meat.
37:16Unbelievable.
37:17Congratulations, you guys.
37:21Good job, Eva.
37:22Good job.
37:23Good job.
37:24Good aim.
37:25Nice.
37:26Yes.
37:27This one gets you tickets.
37:28Nightmare's Fear Factory.
37:31Why am I laughing in a haunted house?
37:34I think if we get a taxi, it would be ideal.
37:37This is when we wish we had a taxi.
37:40Blue.
37:41I missed all the action.
37:43You didn't see it changing colors.
37:45Green.
37:46Blue.
37:49There we go, baby.
37:51Ready when you are.
37:52I'm singing to you, baby.
37:54Purple.
37:55Purple.
37:56Because we have the assist by Desjardins, all we have to do is read these colors off the card.
38:00Red to finish it off.
38:02Come on, John.
38:03There's literally a knapsack the size of me on me.
38:07Off to see Johnny boy.
38:09Let's go.
38:10We're coming, John.
38:13Colin and Matt, how far is the path from the elevator to the platform?
38:18Oh, jeez, man.
38:202,200 meters.
38:23That answer is incorrect.
38:25You will have to head back to the elevator, go back to the platform,
38:28come back down, and we can try again.
38:30Oh, John, you're the worst, man.
38:34Oh, no.
38:37We just memorized the facts.
38:38We're just going to memorize the facts.
38:39We got it.
38:40Work began in a tunnel in 1901 and was completed by 1904.
38:46That's epic.
38:47Michael and Amari, the shaft spun at how many RPM?
38:52250.
38:55250?
38:56250 is the correct answer.
39:04Why did I agree to this?
39:11We saw Evan and Tristan just right behind us.
39:14Hey, do you have maps?
39:15We're looking for the Illumination Tower.
39:17No, that's not it.
39:18We're going to get them.
39:19Click it, click it, click it.
39:20Quickly, please.
39:22Is that the Illumination Tower?
39:24So it said in a clue, an Illumination Tower.
39:27I seen a tower.
39:29I'm going towards it.
39:30Is this the Illumination Tower?
39:32That's the Skyloft Tower.
39:34My stomach drops.
39:37Because at this point, we just feel extremely lost.
39:39Yeah.
39:40Let's just run.
39:42It's a long-ass walk.
39:44This race is not for me.
39:46I'm banking I will overtake, like, some other teams who are still on foot.
39:50You want to take a taxi?
39:51No, no, no, no.
39:52We're trying to save our money.
39:54We have no idea where we're going right now.
40:03We're back.
40:04We're back.
40:05Sorry we didn't listen the first time.
40:06Let's go see John.
40:07We're going to come to our tunnel, which will take you to a 65-foot platform.
40:12This is epic.
40:13It's like training for our marathons.
40:15Julia and Olivia, when did construction on this tunnel begin?
40:20Begin.
40:211901.
40:221901 is correct.
40:25Your team number four.
40:27Let's try this again, John.
40:29When was construction on the tunnel completed?
40:331904.
40:35That is correct.
40:38Is this race anything like you would have ever expected?
40:40It's a complete and utter dream come true.
40:42Standing next to Niagara Falls, my best buddy, you can't ask for anything better than that.
40:46We're going to reach a tunnel, and that tunnel is 2,200 feet long.
40:51Thank you. That's awesome.
40:52Thank you, man.
40:53Appreciate you, brother.
40:55Come on, I just want the other girls to run behind me right now.
40:58Look, they're behind.
40:59We're in a foot race now.
41:01We're now descending down 180 feet.
41:06Michael, Tyson, the shaft spun at how many RPM?
41:11Let's try it.
41:122,200.
41:132,200 RPM is incorrect.
41:17You're going to have to go back to the elevator, up to the surface, and do it all again.
41:21All right, thank you.
41:22All right, everybody stand by.
41:24Blue, green.
41:27Yes!
41:29Congratulations.
41:30Thank you so much!
41:32Look at where they are. They're still there.
41:33So it's all the way down there, eh?
41:34Yeah.
41:35Can you just tell us where the Niagara Parks Power Station is?
41:38Oh, it's just there. It's behind.
41:39Okay, baby, let's go.
41:40Should we just run?
41:41Should we just run?
41:42One more hurdle we've got to get through, like...
41:44Oh, my legs!
41:47Right behind us.
41:48Got it, Taylor, keep coming, keep coming!
41:51Teams are passing us.
41:52Man.
41:53Oh, man.
41:55Brad, Sam, your question is, when did construction on the tunnel begin?
42:011901.
42:021901.
42:03Correct.
42:04Give me one of these, baby. Oh, my God.
42:06Your team number six, Taylor and Katie.
42:09How far down does the elevator descend?
42:122,200 feet.
42:15That is incorrect.
42:17You have to go back to the surface, come back down, and we can try again.
42:21I'm sorry, that was all my fault.
42:23I'm sorry.
42:24Hey, there's still a team behind us.
42:25Keep it going, Taylor, we've got to push.
42:26Love you guys.
42:27Good luck, guys.
42:28Bro, this is actually sick.
42:30I know.
42:31We're not thinking before we do.
42:33It's getting us in trouble.
42:36We're going to be reaching our tunnel.
42:38Our tunnel is 2,200 feet long.
42:42Johnny, boy, that was a lot of cardio.
42:45Connor, John, when did construction on this tunnel begin?
42:511901.
42:52And y'all are correct.
42:53Yes!
42:55Let's go!
42:56We did it.
42:57This might have been in the tunnel.
42:58We did it.
43:00No, never.
43:01Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on.
43:02Before we run, we've got, hey, Tyce, two options.
43:06We go, we give it a go, or we just go back and do it one more time.
43:10So we don't have to make the run.
43:12Everyone was right behind us.
43:15This could basically be it.
43:17Oh, my God.
43:22If we go back, we get it wrong, we've got to travel back.
43:24Do it one more time, get the notes down, pack, and then come back.
43:27Let's go, the elevator's here.
43:29Hopefully, we're not last.
43:30Hopefully, we're not last.
43:31I hope we're not last.
43:32I see my tunnel sign.
43:34Finally.
43:36We can hear another team's coming, so it's important that we do this right and really pay attention.
43:42We're going to reach our tunnel, which will lead you out to a 65-foot platform.
43:46We're going.
43:47Let's go, it's not over yet.
43:49We're descending down approximately 180 feet.
43:53No time like now.
43:54It was constructed in 1901 to 1904.
43:57As it spun 250 revolutions per minute.
44:01I'm just exhausted.
44:03Today's another day.
44:05Hi, John.
44:06All right, let's try that again.
44:08How long is this viewing platform?
44:1165 feet.
44:13That's correct.
44:14Yes!
44:15Oh, my God.
44:16Taylor and Katie, team number eight.
44:17Good job, Taylor.
44:18I'm so proud of you.
44:19I'm sorry.
44:20I love you.
44:22Oh, my God.
44:23Michael and Tyson, let's try that again.
44:25When was construction on the tunnel completed?
44:291904.
44:301904.
44:32Correct.
44:33Oh, my God.
44:34You're team number nine.
44:36I'm just happy to be involved right now.
44:38We've learned in the first leg, I should be carrying the money.
44:42Oh, it's too far.
44:44I can't run there.
44:46Enjoy the view.
44:47Thank you.
44:48This is crazy.
44:49I hear them.
44:50My legs.
44:52My legs hurt.
44:54Let's go, Tress, come on.
44:55Dorothy, Alus, the shaft spun.
44:59At how many RPMs?
45:03250.
45:05That answer is correct.
45:09What?
45:12You are team number 10.
45:14The Amazing Race Canada is only for the best of the best, and that's why we're here.
45:20Even in 10th place.
45:22Eva, Tristan, you are the last team to arrive.
45:27I am sorry to tell you this, but you have been eliminated from the race.
45:31Wow.
45:32God.
45:34Tristan, it's not the ending that you were hoping for, I know that.
45:37But were you happy to be able to do it with one of your besties, Eva?
45:40Oh, I wouldn't have done this with anybody else.
45:42She's the best friend that anybody could ask for.
45:44At the end of the day, we're still strong within our sisterhood.
45:48That's all that matters to me.
45:49Echo magic out.
45:51Next time on The Amazing Race Canada.
45:53I asked you if you're sure.
45:54I asked you if you're sure.
45:56A storm is brewing on BC's Sunshine Coast.
45:58Is it farther?
45:59I don't know.
46:01Just an absolute beauty.
46:03At the roadblock.
46:05Michael and Tyson horse around.
46:07If this isn't it, then I don't know what is.
46:09No longer having kids after this.
46:11And the race reaches a fever pitch for Julia and Olivia.
