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.
00:57I 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, we'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.
01:39You 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.
01:56Oh 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.
02:14To train with us.
02:16Be 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.
02:47I 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.
03:03Money.
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 partners.
04:03The amazing race, Canada.
04:05We've made audition videos for the amazing race, Canada, since season one.
04:12And they're embarrassing.
04:13They are embarrassing, to say the least.
04:14Lack of a better word.
04:15We met in high school, so we've just been best friends ever since.
04:18Now 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.
04:23Woo!
04:24Yes, my!
04:28Brad and Sam, father and daughter from Toronto.
04:33My name is Brad May, and I played in the NHL for 18 seasons.
04:36My nickname, Mayday, came from an overtime goal in 1993.
04:40Mayday!
04:41Mayday!
04:42Mayday!
04:43As 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.
04:50Growing up with my dad playing hockey definitely taught me to be tough.
04:54At 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.

06:05Oh, there he is!
06:15Welcome to Niagara Falls, and welcome to Season 10 of the Amazing Race Canada.
06:21Let's go, Johnny!
06:26This is the very spot where this adventure started over ten years ago.
06:32And now, it's your turn.
06:37Yeah, baby!
06:38Lauren and Nicole, first of all, how do I tell who is who?
06:42You go, you go.
06:45I'm Lauren.
06:46And I'm Nicole.
06:47We're bringing that twin energy, so twin-ergy.
06:50Twin-ergy.
06:51That twin telepathy, that double trouble.
06:55There's actually two different sides of us.
06:57We like to dress up, walk around carpet.
07:00And also, we are not afraid at all to get our hands dirty, get our hair wet.
07:04Season 10 is go big or go home, and I am so excited to kick some ass with my partner-in-crime.
07:09Oh, yeah, baby!
07:12Julie and Olivia, what are the two of you going to be bringing to this race?
07:15We have ten years of being together and one year of marriage.
07:19We're here to bring it.
07:20We're bringing discipline, energy, and power!
07:23We train for endurance competitions five to six times a week, and it is a grueling activity.
07:31We swim, cycle, and run.
07:33To all the other teams, watch out. Good luck.
07:36The 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
07:50that we are not only the same as everyone else physically, but also mentally.
07:54And there's no one here I would rather have than my best friend, Connor.
07:57Yeah, buddy!
08:00Connor and I met Frosh Week at McMaster University.
08:03First interaction we have, he's hitting on my girlfriend, and I'm like, who the hell is this guy?
08:09I ended up hitting it off with him, and now we're besties.
08:13In terms of my career, I'm an influencer.
08:16I really just make content that will make people laugh.
08:20Having the courage to be who you are is nothing but inspiring.
08:26Do you want to know what you're racing for?
08:33For 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.
08:47Yeah!
08:48Because you were made to travel, our friends at Expedia will be sending you on a dream trip for two
08:53around the world.
08:57A quarter of a million dollars cash.
09:01And the amazing Race Canada.
09:08Are you ready to go?
09:11Your first clue is on the bags that you brought with you.
09:15Good luck.
09:17Race safe.
09:19Make Canada proud.
09:29Go!
09:30Yeah!
09:31Let's go, let's go!
09:33Oh, they're fast.
09:34We're on the amazing Race Canada, baby!
09:36Here we go!
09:39Woo!
09:40Roadblock.
09:41Who's down the hill first?
09:42Me!
09:43In this roadblock, one racer will attempt what no ordinary human has ever done before.
09:48Go over the falls and descend 180 feet down one of four rappel lines.
09:55Alongside this raging waterfall to retrieve their next clue.
10:00Woo-hoo-hoo!
10:01I'm going to go first.
10:02Me?
10:03You are.
10:04I am.
10:05Yeah.
10:06You got it, baby.
10:07I'm going first.
10:08I'll go first.
10:09Do it.
10:10You have $500 for this leg of the race.
10:11Let's go.
10:13Horseshoe Falls.
10:14We got to get all the way over there.
10:15Yeah.
10:16You got the cash?
10:17Yeah, I got it.
10:18Let's go.
10:19Oh, my God.
10:20Overlooking the Horseshoe Falls in front of the Table Rock Center.
10:21Dad, do you know where?
10:22Yeah.
10:23People are following us.
10:24Let's go.
10:25I know it's down that way.
10:26It's a bit of a run.
10:27We got this, baby.
10:28You set the pace.
10:29This is good.
10:30You set the pace.
10:31We're good.
10:32We got a lead.
10:34This is a really wet day.
10:36Do we want a taxi?
10:37I don't think there's...
10:38Should we ask someone how far away it is?
10:40Let's get a bus.
10:41To the falls, to the falls.
10:43Let's do it.
10:44First come, first serve.
10:45We got to go.
10:46Okay, run.
10:47Are you going to the falls?
10:48We want to go to the Outdoor Observation Deck
10:49to the Horseshoe Falls.
10:50Perfect.
10:51Let's go.
10:52Horseshoe Falls.
10:53Let's go.
10:54Taylor'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.
10:57We're literally going to pass the other teams.
10:58We're trying to get a cab.
10:59Bye-bye.
11:00See you.
11:01Bye.
11:02See you later.
11:03Guys.
11:04Do you have the money?
11:05Do you have the money?
11:06Do you have the money?
11:07Do you have the money?
11:08Do you have the money?
11:09Do you have the money?
11:10Do you have the money?
11:11Do you have the money?
11:12I dropped it.
11:13For real?
11:14Yeah.
11:15How the hell?
11:16No freaking way.
11:17No freaking way.
11:18Let's go do this.
11:19I dropped the money.
11:20Oh, boy.
11:21Outdoor Observation?
11:22Table Rock Center.
11:23Wow.
11:24What a view.
11:26It's just absolutely unbelievable.
11:27This race has begun.
11:28That move to get on the bus, everybody starts running.
11:29I'm telling you, that's not how you win the race.
11:49You've 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.
12:00Come on, baby.
12:01Let's go, baby.
12:02Damn.
12:03I'm a little disappointed.
12:04I thought we were in first place.
12:05I mean, they got here quick, eh?
12:07I hate heights.
12:08I hope you know that.
12:09Perfect.
12:10Not perfect.
12:11You're going to be lowering down on this rope on the side
12:13of the cliff at Niagara Falls.
12:15This is like a little gas pedal.
12:16If you pull it up, you're going to lower slowly.
12:19OK, I can't fall, right?
12:20Ooh.
12:22Step over?
12:24OK.
12:25Ah!
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 god.
12:39OK.
12:40Well, here goes nothing.
12:42John's about to rappel from about 200 feet up there.
12:45Woo-wee!
12:47Oh, that is cold already.
12:49Oh yeah, there it is.
12:51Cold.
12:51Wow, this is very nerve-wracking.
12:53Oh my god.
12:54Set.
12:55Go.
12:56Pull, pull.
12:57Go, Taylor!
12:58Woo-woo!
13:00There she is!
13:01Yes, Taylor!
13:02Hey, baby!
13:04This is the wildest thing I have ever done in my life.
13:08We're doing it.
13:09Let's go.
13:12The tricky part with this lever is that you
13:14have to control the speed.
13:16If you go too fast, you'll go past the clue.
13:19And that will put us at the back of the line.
13:22Let's get that clue!
13:28Yes!
13:29Woo-woo!
13:31Woo!
13:33Yeah!
13:34I'm so proud of her.
13:36That was amazing!
13:39I just rappelled down Niagara Falls!
13:42They want me to look down.
13:44I literally haven't looked down yet.
13:46Elevator, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:47Here, here's your face.
13:48Number one!
13:49Good job!
13:50I did it so fast!
13:52Come on, girlie!
13:53I'm not looking.
13:56Detour, game time or show time?
13:59Teams will make their way to the eclectic and electric
14:03entertainment district known as Clifton Hill.
14:09In game time, teams will find the Great Canadian Midway
14:12and play any of these race-marked games.
14:16Once they win 400 tickets, they'll receive their next clue.
14:22In show time, teams will recite historical facts
14:25about Niagara Falls to a group of tourists.
14:29They'll need to memorize these 77 words
14:31and perform with the corresponding props
14:34to receive their next clue.
14:37We're going to go to show time.
14:38OK, let's go.
14:39Let's go.
14:41There's only four rappel lines, so any team after that
14:43is going to have to wait.
14:45We're number one right now, number one.
14:47Let's go, Lori!
14:49This is the first time he's done anything like this.
14:51What the hell?
14:53Oh, my God.
14:56Oh, yeah, speed up a little bit.
14:58I'm going to get the angle there.
15:00Not looking until I get down.
15:01Kevin, you better buy me a really nice ring.
15:04OK, I got my clue.
15:06There you go, son!
15:07Good job!
15:08I'm soaked!
15:10Ah!
15:11I can't even imagine what's going through his head
15:14right now.
15:15Yes!
15:16Get that clue!
15:17Yes!
15:20Yes!
15:21She got it.
15:22I hated it!
15:24You have to buy me a really big ring.
15:26Baby, I love you so much.
15:28Let's do game time.
15:29Game time? OK, 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.
15:37My leg hurts.
15:39My legs.
15:40How are you feeling?
15:41I'm tired.
15:42This is just your legs, though.
15:43Yes.
15:45I don't know whether it's because of the cold.
15:48Just, I feel so sick.
15:50As I'm running down the boardwalk to Horseshoe Falls,
15:54something is wrong with my legs right now.
15:56Oh, my legs!
16:01Oh, no!
16:04My legs!
16:10Oh!
16:12I know he's free.
16:14Oh, my God.
16:16I've seen a few racers come down now
16:18and getting a little nervous here.
16:20Let's go!
16:20Just for a bit!
16:22There you go!
16:23It is insane to be this close to the falls.
16:26She is moving like the wolves.
16:29Come on.
16:29She just got the clue.
16:31Drib, drib, drib, drib!
16:32Yes!
16:33Let's go!
16:35Yeah!
16:36That was epic!
16:37Grapple, baby!
16:40One thing about Tyson, we go to 1,000 miles per hour.
16:43Hey!
16:44Slowing down, man!
16:46Hey!
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, they'll come in anywhere.
16:57Every time we have to run,
16:58it 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
17:05to find our money ASAP,
17:06or we're screwed for this rest of the leg.
17:09This sucks.
17:10Oh!
17:11God!
17:13But I will not get frustrated.
17:15Just frustration
17:18helps
17:19move my body and life.
17:21I've been challenged my entire life to face stuff
17:23that isn't made for the average little person,
17:25so I just have to keep feeding myself slack.
17:28Go, John!
17:29I'm not going to let Connor down,
17:30and I'm definitely not going to let myself down.
17:33Yeah, John.
17:36Got the clue.
17:37Let's go, baby!
17:38Woo!
17:39Let's go!
17:40Yeah!
17:42Oh!
17:44First challenge, height.
17:46Perfect.
17:47I hate height.
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.
17:54You got it, baby!
17:55That's it, Lauren!
17:58Secured.
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!
18:13You must use the props as directed on the script.
18:15Welcome to Clifton Hill, otherwise
18:17known as Street of Fun.
18:19We have to memorize a script that talks about bizarre facts
18:23about Niagara Falls.
18:24All of that force can reduce 4 million
18:26kilowatts of electricity.
18:28The light bulb represents the generating
18:31of electrical power, which is what the falls do.
18:33Say, do you remember Annie Edson Taylor?
18:36She went over the falls in a barrel
18:38and survived with a cat.
18:41French acrobat Charles Blondin crossed
18:43the falls on a tightrope.
18:44Charles stopped with a stove on his back,
18:46cooked an omelet, and lowered it down to the passengers
18:49of the Maid of the Mist.
18:54My legs.
18:56My legs hurt.
18:57We're almost there.
18:58Do you know we're almost there, babe?
18:59I need this.
19:02Eva and Tristan are behind us at the moment.
19:04What?
19:05What place are you?
19:06We're 10th.
19:07Okay, so we're last.
19:07Oh, no.
19:08No, we're not.
19:09Oh, jeez.
19:10My legs.
19:12Okay, we're in, like, ninth place.
19:13I love it.
19:14That's the power of positive thinking right there.
19:16Way to go, Sam!
19:18Secure the clue.
19:18Cute Lou is secured.
19:20Let's just get down this thing.
19:22Yahoo!
19:23That's my girl!
19:25Game time.
19:25We're going game time.
19:26Okay, let's go.
19:27I don't know where that is.
19:28Is that not where you and Mom had your first date?
19:30No.
19:31Oh, Skyline Tower, maybe.
19:33Great Canadian Midway, Dad.
19:34It's an arcade.
19:36Sweetie, stop.
19:36I'm almost positive.
19:37Can we slow down and focus?
19:39We're very similar, me and my dad.
19:41We're both stubborn.
19:42Let's go.
19:42I saw the other teams run this way.
19:44Let's go.
19:44Okay, fair enough.
19:46This is it.
19:47Great Canadian Midway Arcade.
19:48It's 1,000%.
19:49Sticker, sticker, sticker.
19:52Oh!
19:52Oh, yes!
19:53Okay.
19:54We got to get 400 tickets.
19:55400 tickets.
19:55He's been training for this moment since he was a kid, so.
19:58My dad's my hero.
19:59I'm kind of following in his footsteps.
20:01I'm playing college basketball in Edmonton.
20:03Let's go, let's go.
20:04Come on, guy.
20:05Money Mike.
20:08How many was that?
20:1012?
20:11Yeah, we got to find a different game.
20:13Yeah, 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.
20:19I'm massive in the poker world.
20:20I can think through games at a high level.
20:23I got a really good strategy, baby.
20:25So, instead of playing on this game,
20:27I'm going to throw them over here,
20:29and we're going to use that machine.
20:31Woo!
20:34You got it, baby.
20:34You got it so good.
20:37Oh, we got 25.
20:38Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
20:39We're doing this.
20:40We're doing this.
20:41We're here in the arcade looking for a certain game
20:44that we can play.
20:45You feel like shooting?
20:48Tap, tap.
20:49Julie and Olivia try to use the machine beside me,
20:52but obviously I took all the balls.
20:54That one didn't work.
20:55I didn't think I'd be lying this early in the game, babe.
20:58I can't help myself.
20:59It's so good, babe.
21:00It's so good.
21:03We got to find a game.
21:04Feeling confident?
21:05I feel like we can get this done.
21:08OK.
21:09There's words in bold that you have to include.
21:11Welcome to Clifton Hill, also known as the Street of Fun.
21:18A French acrobat, Charles Blondin,
21:24tight-roped across the falls 300 times.
21:30Charles also strapped a stove to his back and fried omelets.
21:35I'm sorry.
21:36That's incorrect.
21:37OK.
21:37There's words in bold that you have
21:39to include in the proper order.
21:40So let's just make sure we say it properly.
21:42You got this, Colin.
21:44Yeah, there it is.
21:45There it is.
21:47That was unreal.
21:48That was insane.
21:49Well done.
21:50I'm in.
21:51We're still in it.
21:52We're still in it.
21:53You got this, Trey.
21:56God has not given me a spirit of fear.
22:00Can I let go?
22:01OK.
22:01Here you go.
22:02Oh, got it.
22:05My legs hurt so bad, but I just have to keep pushing.
22:10You can do it, baby.
22:15There she is.
22:16OK, Tristan, you got this.
22:21Lean back.
22:22There you go.
22:22Yes.
22:23We're going to do short times.
22:25Let'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.
22:37All right, we're back to the start,
22:38kind of where we think we possibly
22:40might have dropped the money.
22:41Scan.
22:42Scan.
22:44No, no, no.
22:47We got nothing, huh?
22:48Somewhere around here.
22:49We thought it would be here, but it's not, so.
22:51Do the best we can, and, man, that's all we can do.
22:53Let's go.
22:53All right.
22:54We got no luck.
22:56Now we have to run the rest of the leg.
22:58Disaster.
23:04It's really important for us to get out of here quick,
23:06as there's many teams that have already showed up.
23:08Which was the location of the first challenge
23:09of the first running of the Amazing Race Canada.
23:11Boo.
23:12Well, during these crossings, he strapped a stove to his back
23:15where he fried omelets for the passengers.
23:18I'm so sorry.
23:19You didn't get it.
23:21Oh, god.
23:22There's other teams.
23:23Come on, Taylor, we're so close.
23:25We got to this detour first, and we're
23:28slowly losing that lead that we started off with.
23:31He cooked an omelet and lowered it down to the passengers
23:34on the Maid of the Mist.
23:38Come on.
23:40I'm a little bit frustrated.
23:41Arcades are so fun.
23:42I always have a good time here.
23:44What do I do?
23:44He gets a little flustered at them, clearly.
23:46It's chaotic in there.
23:48I'm 52 years old.
23:49The noise drove me crazy.
23:50Are you doing well?
23:51No.
23:52I suck.
23:53God, I suck.
23:54Come on.
23:54No, you don't.
23:55Got to get out of that mindset.
23:56Kevin 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.
24:05That's it.
24:05It's done.
24:05We're good.
24:06We're good.
24:0650 more tickets, and then hopefully, oh, my god.
24:09They're checking already?
24:10Yeah.
24:10Awesome.
24:11So here you go.
24:11Let's go.
24:12Let's go.
24:13Come here, baby.
24:16How?
24:17What were they playing?
24:19Thank you.
24:20Make your way to Make Your Way.
24:22Nightmares Beer Factory.
24:23One team will win the assist by Dead Jordan
24:25for the next challenge.
24:26OK, let's go.
24:27This is the haunted house that's on top of the hill.
24:28OK, what is it called?
24:29OK, let's go.
24:30The Beer Factory.
24:32Do you want to stop and ask for directions?
24:33Yeah.
24:34Hi, can you really help us?
24:36We were hoping to get a challenge like this,
24:38so we're hoping we can buy some time here.
24:39We're so ready for it.
24:40Two years ago, we moved to LA to pursue acting.
24:43We've had to memorize pages of scripts.
24:45OK, we're going to try it once.
24:46We think we're ready, we're going to send it.
24:47Let's just see what happens.
24:47French.
24:48Oh, that's what I missed.
24:49Can you actually remember what Annie Edson Taylor
24:51did here on October 24, 1901?
24:54She was actually the first and oldest person
24:56to go over the falls and survive.
24:58She did it on her 63rd birthday with her cat.
25:01Meow, meow.
25:04We're not really sure what we're missing right now,
25:06so it's just go time.
25:09He actually cooked an omelet, and he
25:11served it to his passengers on the Maid of the Mist.
25:15Congratulations.
25:17They just finished.
25:18It looks like they're on to their next one.
25:20Let's go.
25:24Nightmares, Beer Factory, in search for your clue inside.
25:27Here, let's find a worker.
25:28Let's ask right here, where's the Beer Factory?
25:30Excuse me, do you know where the Nightmares Beer Factory is?
25:33Right turn, you live on a block on the left-hand side.
25:36Come on, baby.
25:37Let's go.
25:38Let's go.
25:40OK, so right.
25:43Let's go, ladies.
25:44Oh, yeah, baby.
25:46While having a stove strapped to his back and fried omelets.
25:50I'm sorry, you didn't get in.
25:53Oh my god, what are we doing?
25:55Whoa.
25:56OK.
25:57I see a few things here.
26:00So I think we're, like, finally catching up.
26:03Boo.
26:04Ah.
26:05Nightmares, Beer Factory.
26:07We're taking it.
26:09Rude info.
26:10Brave the fright.
26:12Over the last three decades, over 180,000 people
26:17have chickened out of making it through this very,
26:20very haunted house.
26:24Once teams find the Nightmares Beer Factory,
26:26they'll need to make it through the hair-raising hallways
26:29of this former coffin factory.
26:32If they survive the scare, they'll
26:33need to memorize a color combination unique to each team,
26:37then proceed to the illumination tower
26:39to light up the falls in their specific colors.
26:42Returning to the race is the Assist by Desjardins.
26:46This time on Select Challenges, the Assist
26:48will be a winnable pass that one lucky team will
26:51find hidden in their clue.
26:53Tonight, the Assist by Desjardins
26:55will give them a little extra help
26:57as they light up the falls.
26:58Let's go.
26:59Let's go.
27:00We got to go in.
27:01OK?
27:02It's OK.
27:03Memorize a sequence of colors.
27:04Yeah.
27:05Have fun, OK?
27:05Good luck.
27:06Hey.
27:07Baby, I don't like this.
27:09Ah, OK.
27:10OK.
27:13Come this way.
27:13Come, baby.
27:15Oh, don't leave me, baby.
27:16Baby, where are we going?
27:21Baby, it was all fake.
27:22Memorize these colors.
27:25Oh, that's so great.
27:29It's going to jump out, baby.
27:32Oh, my god.
27:33Just say it a bunch of times over and over in your head.
27:36Physically, we are a strong team.
27:38But our memorization isn't the greatest.
27:41Just keep saying it.
27:42Purple, blue, red, green, purple.
27:47Fix my hair if you're going to touch my head.
27:51Yes, yes.
27:52Major League, Major League.
27:55Yes.
27:56Awesome.
27:57Yes, thank you.
27:58Thank you.
27:59OK, I think we have enough.
28:01No, no.
28:01Come here, come here, come here.
28:03Congratulations.
28:03Thank you very much.
28:04You're welcome.
28:05Let's go, baby.
28:07Let's go, baby.
28:08Yes.
28:08Awesome.
28:09Let's go.
28:09Congratulations.
28:10100% that we have enough tickets.
28:13Let's check.
28:14316.
28:16A little bit of ways to go.
28:17Right here, playing baseball definitely helps.
28:19Tyson's just whipping it.
28:21Do you see any cabs?
28:22I'm looking for one.
28:23Let's go.
28:24Baby, I love you.
28:25I love you.
28:25Focus on us.
28:26Focus on us.
28:27Come on, John.
28:27I know, man.
28:28I'm trying.
28:30Taking the scenic settings of the butterfly conservatory.
28:37OK, pause.
28:38Do you want to do the other one or no?
28:39What do you mean?
28:40Do you want to keep this on?
28:40I think we can do it.
28:41We can do this one?
28:42How do you feel?
28:42Yeah.
28:43This area was the very first.
28:45Is it area?
28:46I went to an art school, but I majored in dance, not acting.
28:51OK.
28:52I think what we have to do is we have to break it down
28:54into four different parts, and we just memorize
28:57the first couple of lines.
28:58I've always been a pretty good public speaker,
28:59and I'm an English teacher.
29:00So I teach my kids how to public speak.
29:03Welcome to Clifton Hill, otherwise
29:04known as the street of fun.
29:09During his crossing, Charles stopped with his stove
29:11on his back to cook an omelet.
29:13During one of his crossings, Charles
29:15stopped with a stove on his back, cooked an omelet,
29:17and lowered it down to the passengers
29:19on the Maid of the Mist.
29:20Woo!
29:22Congratulations.
29:22Yeah!
29:23Let's go!
29:24Let's go!
29:26I think they just got it.
29:27Nightmare sphere factor.
29:28Here we come.
29:29A French acrobat, Charles Blondin,
29:34tightroped 300 times across the falls.
29:37During these crossings, he also strapped a stove
29:40to his back and fried omelets.
29:42I'm so sorry.
29:43You didn't get it.
29:44Holy Hannah.
29:45OK.
29:46Holy Hannah.
29:47Across the falls on a tightrope 300 times.
29:49Cooked an omelet and lowered it down to the passengers
29:52on the Maid of the Mist.
29:54What are we doing wrong?
29:58Unbelievable.
29:59Say, do you remember what Andy Edson Taylor
30:02did here on October 24, 1901?
30:04The very first location of the very first running
30:06race of Amazing Race Canada.
30:09Do you want to try it?
30:10I don't know the rest of the second half.
30:11Oh my gosh, Eva.
30:13You got this.
30:13Come on, come on.
30:14Don't worry.
30:15This area has long been known as a honeymooner's paradise.
30:19Tristan.
30:20Huh?
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,
30:26and I feel like we have to just do it faster.
30:30See, look, the boys are still here.
30:33Basketball.
30:33Yes, yes, perfect.
30:35This is our game right here.
30:36Tyson is like going above and beyond, killing the clowns.
30:41Yay!
30:44Nightmare's Fear Factory.
30:45Let's go.
30:47Just saw the boys left.
30:49Let's go.
30:49Keep pushing.
30:50Knocking these clowns down are like locking
30:52down the clowns in the race.
30:58And he cooked an omelet and gave it to everyone
31:00on the Maid of the Mist.
31:02Cross the falls on a tightrope 300 times.
31:04I don't know what we're missing, man.
31:06I need to say cooked an omelet.
31:08Oh, I keep saying fried an omelet, don't I?
31:10Yeah, you do.
31:11Cooked an omelet.
31:12It's me.
31:13Yeah, OK, let's go.
31:15We're back again.
31:17Make your way to Nightmare's Fear Factory.
31:19The girls are still there?
31:20Yeah.
31:21Charles also did this with a stove strapped to his back
31:24and cooked an omelet for the passengers down below.
31:30Congratulations, you guys.
31:31Yes!
31:34Make your way to Nightmare's Fear Factory.
31:38Boo.
31:39A ghost.
31:44Oh, god, this is how it ends.
31:49Green, blue, green, red, purple.
31:50OK, keep that to yourself so it doesn't bother me.
31:54Well, don't breathe in my ear either.
31:57I'm pretty sure Nightmare's is up here.
32:00Come on, John.
32:01It's right here.
32:02Rude info, and an assist.
32:04But they ensured that.
32:05This means you don't have to memorize the color
32:07combination.
32:08You guys are good to go.
32:09We just have to hunt.
32:10Whoa, he grabbed my ear.
32:12Now that is a good photo.
32:14The Illumination Tower.
32:15Yeah, we have a lot of money left.
32:16We could use a taxi at some point.
32:18If we see one, we'll grab it.
32:22We're number one.
32:23I think we're number one.
32:24Yeah, we can smell.
32:25We know we are.
32:26It's right there.
32:26This is the tower.
32:27Let's light it up.
32:30Hi.
32:31Hi, sir.
32:32Blue, purple, green, red, purple.
32:36Hi.
32:37Hi, sir.
32:38Blue, purple, green, blue, red.
32:44Green, red, purple, blue, purple.
32:51Congratulations.
32:51Yeah!
32:52Thank you.
32:54Baby, take a look at this.
32:56That's amazing.
32:57Teams must now make their way to the tunnel
32:59at the Niagara Parks Power Station.
33:02Here in this former power plant, teams
33:04will learn the powerful history of the falls
33:07as they take one elevator down.
33:09We're descending down approximately 180 feet.
33:14Once they reach the bottom, they'll
33:15run through the tunnel, a 2,200-foot-long
33:18subterranean passage.
33:20This observation platform at the base of the Horseshoe Falls
33:24will act as the pit stop for the first leg of the race.
33:27The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
33:31All right, let's go.
33:32Go, go, go.
33:33Cow driver, the cow's coming out.
33:35Where is it?
33:35Go, go.
33:35Yeah.
33:36There's another team coming out.
33:38Power station tunnel.
33:38Do you know where that is?
33:39We want to try and get first.
33:41Let's go.
33:41Oh, my god.
33:42Johnny, wait for us.
33:43Ginger legend.
33:45Red, purple, blue, red, green.
33:50Purple, red, blue, green, purple.
33:55I think we might have to go back.
33:57I really hope not.
33:59Oh, there's a thing there.
34:00Do we go to that?
34:01Yeah, probably.
34:02Let me think here.
34:03I know my two outsides were the exact same.
34:06Blue, purple, red.
34:10Ladies, that was correct.
34:11Yeah, thank you.
34:13Double trouble.
34:15OK.
34:15Do you know where the Niagara Parks power station is?
34:18On the right side.
34:19First big building.
34:20On the right, are we close?
34:21Yeah.
34:22You're 100% sure you know where to go?
34:24Oh, yeah.
34:25We didn't see anyone leaving the challenge ahead of us.
34:27Let's go to the power station.
34:28It's right there.
34:29I see lights.
34:30I see tunnel.
34:31We could be first.
34:32Yeah.
34:32Come on, John!
34:36I know I was purples on the outside.
34:38I know that.
34:38I remember my colors, but my dad doesn't remember his.
34:41Yeah, let's go again.
34:43But instead of going all the way back to the haunted house,
34:45I think we're just going to keep trying until we get it.
34:47Red, green.
34:49Purple, blue, red, green, purple.
34:55Congratulations.
34:56Yeah!
34:57Oh, my god, dude.
34:58Find John at your first pit stop.
35:00So we've got to go find the tunnel.
35:01I think we're just going to run.
35:03Look at that.
35:03Green, red, blue, green.
35:08Yay!
35:10We're going to the tunnel at the Niagara Parks power station.
35:13Hey, taxi, taxi.
35:15Oh, they're in there.
35:16Oh, they're in there.
35:17Can you move the line all the way?
35:18Yeah.
35:19First pit stop, brother.
35:20Let's do it.
35:23Can we come?
35:24Shut the door.
35:25Shut it before anyone else gets in.
35:26Thank you.
35:27Work began on the tunnel in 1901.
35:30We're descending down now 180 feet.
35:32Remember this bit.
35:34That's it.
35:35Oh, I see tunnel.
35:36Sprint to the finish line, baby.
35:39Let's go, let's go.
35:41I've never been so excited to see John.
35:43On this side here, we have a shaft that
35:45spun 250 revolutions a minute.
35:50Thank you so much.
35:51You're doing so good, baby.
35:52I love you.
35:52Come on.
35:53We're almost there.
36:00Look at this.
36:00Wow.
36:02Welcome to Niagara Falls, Ontario.
36:04Thank you.
36:04Thank you.
36:05Kevin and Gurleen, you're not done yet.
36:08Before I can check you in, I've got a question to ask you.
36:11If you'd reach into that vase and hand it to me.
36:16When did the construction on this tunnel begin?
36:20You got it, baby.
36:211901.
36:22Kevin and Gurleen, your team number one.
36:26Come on, baby.
36:28You're so good, baby.
36:30Because you were made to travel, our friends at Expedia
36:33are sending you on a dream trip for two to India.
36:40Gurleen and I work every hour of every single day.
36:43So to get this time with each other
36:44on a trip where you come from, this is beautiful.
36:48Because Expedia wants to make this a dream trip that you
36:51will never forget, they're giving you $10,000.
36:57We love you.
36:59Lauren and Nicole, how far down does the elevator descend?
37:03180 feet.
37:04In unison, your team number two.
37:07It feels good.
37:08You know, there's two of us, so we have to come in second.
37:12And Charles cooks an omelet and gets
37:14everyone in the made of the midst.
37:17Unbelievable.
37:18Congratulations, you guys.
37:19Yay.
37:23Good job, Eva.
37:23Good job.
37:24Good job.
37:24Good aim.
37:25Nice.
37:26Yes, this one gets you tickets.
37:29Nightmare's Fear Factory.
37:32Why am I laughing in a haunted house?
37:35Oh, my god.
37:38I think if we get a taxi, it would be ideal.
37:40This is when we wish we had a taxi.
37:43Blue.
37:44I missed all the action.
37:46You didn't see it changing colors.
37:48Green.
37:49Blue.
37:50Oh, yeah.
37:53There we go, baby.
37:54Ready when you are.
37:55I'm singing to you, baby.
37:57Purple.
37:58Purple.
37:59Because we have the assist by Desjardins,
38:01all we have to do is read these colors off the card.
38:03Red to finish it off.
38:05Come on, John.
38:06There's literally a knapsack the size of me on me.
38:10Off to see Johnny boy.
38:12Let's go.
38:13We're coming, John.
38:16Colin and Matt, how far is the path from the elevator
38:20to the platform?
38:21Oh, jeez, man.
38:242,200 meters.
38:26That answer is incorrect.
38:28You will have to head back to the elevator,
38:30go back to the surface, come back down,
38:32and we can try again.
38:33Oh, John, you're the worst, man.
38:35Yeah.
38:37Oh, no.
38:39We just memorized the facts.
38:41We just memorized the facts.
38:42We got it.
38:43Work began in a tunnel in 1901 and was completed by 1904.
38:48That's epic.
38:50Michael and Amari, the shaft spun at how many RPM?
38:55250.
38:57250 is the correct answer.
39:00Yeah.
39:05Why 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 Elimination Tower.
39:17No, that's not it.
39:18We're going to get them.
39:20Click it, click it, click it.
39:21Quickly, please.
39:22Is that the Illumination Tower?
39:24So it said in a clue, an Illumination Tower.
39:28I seen a tower.
39:29I'm going towards it.
39:31Is this the Illumination Tower?
39:32That's the Skylon Tower.
39:35My stomach drops.
39:37Because at this point, we just feel extremely lost.
39:40Yeah.
39:40Let's just run.
39:43This is a long-ass walk.
39:45This race is not for me.
39:46I'm banking I will overtake some other teams
39:49who are still on foot.
39:51You want to take a taxi?
39:52No, no, no, no.
39:53We're trying to save our money.
39:55We have no idea where we're going right now.
39:57Oh!
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
40:10to a 65-foot platform.
40:12This is epic.
40:13It's like training for our marathons.
40:16Julia and Olivia, when did construction on this tunnel
40:21begin?
40:211901.
40:221901 is correct.
40:26Your team number four.
40:28Let's try this again, John.
40:30When was construction on the tunnel completed?
40:331904.
40:36That is correct.
40:38Is this race anything like you would have ever expected?
40:41It's a complete and utter dream come true.
40:43Standing next to Niagara Falls, my best buddy,
40:45you can't ask for anything better than that.
40:47We're going to reach a tunnel, and that tunnel
40:49is 2,200 feet long.
40:52Thank you.
40:52That's awesome.
40:53Thank you, man.
40:53Appreciate you, brother.
40:56Come on, I just want the other girls
40:57to run behind me right now.
40:59Look, they're behind.
41:00We're in a foot race now.
41:02We're now descending down 180 feet.
41:07Michael, Tyson, the shaft spun at how many RPM?
41:12Yeah, try it.
41:132,200.
41:142,200 RPM is incorrect.
41:18You're going to have to go back to the elevator,
41:20up to the surface, and do it all again.
41:22All right, thank you.
41:23All right, everybody say all right.
41:25Blue, green.
41:27Congratulations.
41:29No way.
41:30Congratulations.
41:31Thank you so much.
41:33Look at where they are.
41:33They're still there.
41:34So it's all the way down there, eh?
41:36Can you just tell us where the Niagara
41:37Parks power station is?
41:39Oh, it's just there.
41:39It's behind.
41:40OK, baby, let's go.
41:41Should we just run?
41:42One more hurdle we got to get through, like.
41:45Oh, my legs.
41:48Right behind us.
41:49Got it, Taylor, keep coming.
41:50Keep coming.
41:51Teams are passing us.
41:52Man.
41:53Oh, man.
41:55Brad, Sam, your question is, when did construction
42:00on the tunnel begin?
42:021901.
42:021901.
42:04Correct.
42:04Give me one of these, baby.
42:06Oh, my god.
42:07Your team number six, Taylor and Katie, how far
42:10down does the elevator descend?
42:122,200 feet.
42:16That is incorrect.
42:18You have to go back to the surface, come back down,
42:20and we can try again.
42:22I'm sorry.
42:22That was all my fault. I'm sorry.
42:24Hey, there's still teams behind us.
42:25Keep it going, Taylor.
42:26We got to push.
42:27I'll do yes.
42:28Good luck, guys.
42:29Bro, this is actually sick.
42:31I know.
42:32We're not thinking before we do.
42:34It's getting us in trouble.
42:36We're going to be reaching our tunnel.
42:39Our tunnel is 2,200 feet long.
42:43Johnny boy, that was a lot of cardio.
42:46Connor, John, when did construction
42:50on this tunnel begin?
42:521901.
42:53Y'all are correct.
42:54Yes!
42:56Let's go.
42:57We did it.
42:58This might have been the tunnel.
42:59We did it.
43:01Now or never.
43:02Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on.
43:03Before we run, we got eight ties, two options.
43:07We go, we give it a go, or we just go back
43:09and do it one more time.
43:11So we don't have to make the run.
43:12Everyone was right behind us.
43:16This could basically be it.
43:17Oh my god.
43:22If we go back, we get it wrong.
43:24We got to travel back.
43:25Do it one more time.
43:26Get the notes down, pack, and then come back.
43:28Let's go.
43:28The elevator's here.
43:29Hopefully we're not last.
43:30Hopefully we're not last.
43:32I hope we're not last.
43:33I see, like, a tunnel sign.
43:35Finally.
43:37We can hear another team's coming,
43:38so it's important that we do this right
43:41and really pay attention.
43:42We're going to reach our tunnel, which will lead you
43:44out to a 65-foot platform.
43:47We're going.
43:48Let's go.
43:49It's not over yet.
43:50We're descending down approximately 180 feet.
43:54No time like now.
43:55It's constructed in 1901 to 1904.
43:57As it spun 250 revolutions per minute.
44:02I'm just exhausted.
44:05Today's a new day.
44:07Hi, John.
44:08All right, let's try that again.
44:10How long is this viewing platform?
44:1365 feet.
44:15That's correct.
44:16Yes!
44:17Oh my god.
44:17Taylor and Katie, you're team number eight.
44:19Good job, Taylor.
44:20I'm so proud of you.
44:20I'm sorry.
44:21I love you.
44:22Mwah.
44:24Oh my god.
44:24Michael and Tyson, let's try that again.
44:26When was construction on the tunnel completed?
44:311904.
44:32Correct.
44:33Oh my god.
44:35You're team number nine.
44:36Just happy to be involved right now.
44:38We've learned in the first leg, I should be carrying the money.
44:43Oh, 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.
44:55Come on.
44:56Dorothy, Alus, the shaft spun at how many RPMs?
45:04250.
45:06That answer is correct.
45:10What?
45:12You are team number 10.
45:14The Amazing Race Canada is only for the best of the best,
45:17and that's why we're here.
45:21Even in Sand Creek.
45:23Eva, Tristan, you are the last team to arrive.
45:28I am sorry to tell you this, but you have been eliminated from the race.
45:32Wow.
45:33Oh my god.
45:35Tristan, it's not the ending that you were hoping for.
45:37I know that.
45:38Were you happy to be able to do it with one of your besties, Eva?
45:40I wouldn't have done this with anybody else.
45:42You're the best friend that anybody could ask for.
45:45At the end of the day, we're still strong within our sisterhood.
45:48That's all that matters to me.
45:50Echo magic out.
45:52Next time on the Amazing Race Canada.
45:54I asked you if are you sure.
45:55A storm is brewing on BC's Sunshine Coast.
45:59Is it farther?
45:59I don't know.
46:01Just an absolute beauty.
46:03At the roadblock.
46:04Giddy up on that thing, huh?
46:05Michael and Tyson horse around.
46:07If this isn't it, then I don't know what is.
46:10No longer having kids after this.
46:12And the race reaches a fever pitch for Julia and Olivia.
46:15No!
