00:00Welcome back, Canada, brand new season, whole new level, and 20 more fearless competitors
00:14ready to take their shot at ultimate glory.
00:18This is Canada's Ultimate Challenge.
00:26It's time to turn the country into one massive obstacle course.
00:44For these remarkable Canadians, the journey will be unreal.
00:55Marvelous strangers joining forces as five teams, and they'll need more than strength
01:02to survive.
01:03You want a game?
01:04Bring it on.
01:05They are coming for you guys.
01:06They will come for you.
01:07I'm over it.
01:08I'm done.
01:09We need help out there.
01:10Look at me.
01:11Is everyone okay?
01:12Jump, Jay Park!
01:13Pull!
01:14Fifteen spectacular challenges.
01:15It's beautiful!
01:16Seven unforgettable weeks, and one mission, win no matter what it takes.
01:46This is absolutely surreal.
02:13I'm a bit scared of what's to come, but my fears do not stop me.
02:21I sacrificed a lot to be here.
02:23I'm not coming home empty-handed.
02:24If you're a good guy, I'm not going to be a bad guy.
02:32But if you're a bad guy, I could be a really bad guy.
02:38Nobody will intimidate me.
02:40I am here to fight, and I'm here to play.
02:44And I will win.
02:45That's what I'm talking about.
02:46Bring it in, guys.
02:47All right, players, bring it in.
02:48Bring it in.
02:49Bring it in.
02:50Bring it in.
02:51Bring it in.
02:52Bring it in.
02:53Bring it in.
02:54Bring it in.
02:55Bring it in.
02:56Bring it in.
02:57Bring it in.
02:58Bring it in.
02:59Bring it in.
03:00Bring it in.
03:01Bring it in.
03:02Bring it in.
03:03Bring it in.
03:04Bring it in.
03:05Bring it in.
03:06Bring it in.
03:07Bring it in.
03:08Bring it in.
03:09All right, players, bring it in.
03:10Bring it in.
03:11Come on closer.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Welcome to Tofino, B.C., and to season three of Canada's Ultimate Challenge.
03:26I'm your host, Brandon Gómez, and you can show me some love.
03:30Yeah.
03:31I'm joking.
03:32I'm joking.
03:33Players, this place is known as Tin Whisk Beach, and we are
03:39honored to begin this amazing journey in the unceded traditional territory of the Klaukwet
03:45First Nation of the Nuu-Chah-Nuth Peoples.
03:48All right, let's break down how this is all gonna work.
03:53Your mission as a team is to compete for points in 15 challenges across four regions of the
03:59country, Pacific, Prairie, Eastern, and Atlantic.
04:06Your goal, earn as many points as possible in each region to avoid the dreaded win-or-go-home
04:13elimination showdown.
04:17Because at the end of the day, only one team will earn that title of Canada's Ultimate
04:25Challenge champions.
04:32And you win the red carpet treatment to cheer on Team Canada at the Olympic Winter Games
04:39Milano Cortina 2026.
04:41Hell yeah, Olympics 2026, I'm coming for you.
04:46Team Canada, let's go, baby.
04:49Now I can already see it on your faces.
04:51You're all dying to know whose team you're gonna be on.
04:59You're gonna have to wait just a little bit longer.
05:04Because everyone will start this challenge solo.
05:13What's going on?
05:14I came here for a team competition.
05:17I don't want to start this challenge alone.
05:19I want to get to know who's on my team.
05:23This is the ultimate surf and turf takeover.
05:28Here's how it all goes down.
05:30At the horn, dive off the barge and swim the frigid waters to shore.
05:36Then dig through your section of sand to find your team's shirt.
05:40Once all team members retrieve their shirts and assemble on their team platforms, it's
05:45time to puzzle together a banner made out of 13 pieces.
05:50Next choose one player to be lifted from a towering 40-foot structure to assemble the
05:56banner.
05:58The first team to finish scores the most points and draws first blood.
06:03Yes, sir.
06:04Players, are you ready?
06:08Get suited up and I'll see you all at the start line.
06:11I already see weakness.
06:15I smell the fear.
06:17I can see it in their eyes.
06:18They are not ready for this challenge.
06:22And I just hope they're not on my team.
06:24Players, the ultimate surf and turf takeover starts now.
06:40There's feet in my face.
06:42There's people in front of me.
06:43There's people behind me.
06:44But I'm focusing on the beach, on the beach, on the beach.
06:47It's freezing cold.
06:51My arms are starting to feel heavy.
06:52I'm swallowing salt water.
06:55Right now, it's just pure willpower.
06:57Some players are really struggling with this swim.
07:00They are gassed.
07:03My swimming's superb.
07:05I'm a very good swimmer.
07:06I might call myself an amphibian, like a frog.
07:11Players are finally starting to make their way onto shore.
07:14Eddie, first to emerge.
07:16My adrenaline is through the roof.
07:17I'm ready to figure out what team I'm on.
07:21Oh, my god.
07:24Let's go!
07:26If they want to move on to the next stage,
07:28they have to dig for those shirts.
07:30Ah!
07:35What the heck?
07:36You tell me dogs do this for fun?
07:39Are you sure they put a t-shirt in here?
07:40What the hell?
07:45First to find a shirt, Damien.
07:47He's on team Orange.
07:48Let's go, Orange!
07:49Let's go, baby!
07:54Right behind him, AJ.
07:55They've got two of their four members already.
07:58Oh, I'm ready to throw up.
08:02Just keep digging.
08:03Just keep digging.
08:04Yellow, baby!
08:06Let's go, yellow!
08:07Woo!
08:10Yeah, baby, I'm blue!
08:12I am the first player on my team.
08:14I'm pretty stoked, and also pretty proud of myself.
08:19What's up, y'all?
08:19My name is Micaiah.
08:21I'm 22 years old from Russell, Manitoba.
08:24I am a strength and conditioning coach
08:26that works with hockey players.
08:27Who's this little redhead Manitoban nobody?
08:31Watch.
08:32Just watch.
08:33I was born and raised on a farm, so true prairie girl at heart.
08:37Had my own horses.
08:38Had my own chickens.
08:40I'm telling you, the farm strength is coming out
08:42to play this competition, man.
08:44You know how many square bales I've lifted?
08:46A lot.
08:47And I still got it.
08:48Oh my gosh, Canada, you don't know what's coming.
08:52Come on, come on.
08:54This is no joke.
08:57Yo!
08:59Mark is first on Team Red.
09:01Red, baby!
09:02And Kenan joins him.
09:04You know, if you were to go in the dictionary right now
09:05and search up dog, a synonym actually would be Kenan Wong.
09:09You're looking at the dog right here.
09:11My name's Kenan Wong.
09:13I am a personal trainer from Surrey, BC.
09:17Yeah, baby!
09:19My father is from the South Pacific Islands.
09:22Traveling back home to Fiji has been some of the biggest
09:25life-changing moments for me.
09:26Realizing how blessed I am to be living in Canada.
09:30So I don't want to see any of my teammates
09:32giving half-ass effort, because if you're not a winner,
09:35you're a loser.
09:36Believe it!
09:38Red, baby, let's go.
09:40Let's go!
09:41Let's go, Red!
09:42Let's go.
09:44Team's starting to take shape here.
09:46Let's go!
09:47KO.
09:48Team Green!
09:48Finally.
09:50Who's going up?
09:51I'm going up.
09:52She's going up, she's late.
09:52I can pull, I can pull.
09:53I'm a 40-year-old man who's competing
09:55with all these young athletes here,
09:57and I'm gonna beat them.
09:59My name's Steve.
10:00I'm from Beansville, Ontario.
10:02And people's first impressions of me,
10:03they see the tattoos, the swagger,
10:06they think I'm a bit cocky.
10:07Sometimes they even think I'm a gangbanger,
10:09which is totally opposite of me.
10:11I'm just a law-abiding citizen.
10:12Actually, I'm a correctional officer.
10:14I have a pretty good rapport with the inmates.
10:16The OGs and the heavies, they respect me.
10:18I talk to them like they're human beings.
10:20I don't insult them.
10:20I don't call them names.
10:22I have a wife and two beautiful kids.
10:23They're the whole reason why I'm here.
10:25What I love about being a dad,
10:27there's fighting, people are crying.
10:29Every day's different.
10:30It's just like jail.
10:33Let's go!
10:35Use your heels, bro.
10:36I'm digging everywhere.
10:38Why can't I find this?
10:40And Aaron is struggling.
10:43That guy is digging over there.
10:46I can't find it.
10:50You're like punching the sand.
10:53I've dug everywhere.
10:56Yes!
11:02Aaron's on team blue.
11:03Let's go, baby!
11:05All teams have three members now.
11:07So the next player to find a shirt
11:08will move their team onto the puzzle.
11:11The pressure is on.
11:12One more, come on!
11:13You're ours, let's go, Becky!
11:16Dig, dig, dig, dig!
11:18Let's go, go, go!
11:19We got somebody opening up up front.
11:20Green, green!
11:22Yellow, yellow.
11:24Let's go, team blue!
11:25Come on, come on, come on!
11:27Number one, baby, number one!
11:29Let's go!
11:29I'm a car.
11:30I'm a car.
11:31Okay, I'm going out, I'm gonna get rich.
11:32Let's go.
11:33Go, go, go, go, go!
11:34Blue is the first to complete their team.
11:36They are now moving onto the next section of this challenge
11:38where they have to build that puzzle.
11:40We'll try to assemble it here.
11:43Come on.
11:43Becky just got her shirt.
11:46No!
11:47Let's go!
11:48Yes, Becky!
11:49Let's go!
11:49So team orange is now complete
11:51as three teams waited out for Gabe, Steph, and Gracia.
11:55Come on, we need our last player, let's go!
11:56Come on, let's go!
11:58Gabriel has found his bag.
11:59He's opening it.
12:00Let's see which team he's gonna be on.
12:02Let's finish our team, let's finish our team!
12:03Yellow, let's go, let's go, let's go.
12:04Please, please, please, please!
12:08Three teams waiting on their last player.
12:11Get your hands around!
12:12Gabriel has found his bag, he's opening it.
12:14Green, green, green!
12:15Is it red?
12:16Yellow, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
12:17Please, please, please, please!
12:20All right, Gabriel is on team green.
12:22Team green is now complete.
12:24Oh!
12:27It's one of the two.
12:29Come on, baby, let's go!
12:31Come on!
12:33Is this gonna be this corner?
12:35Oh, oh, oh, oh, guys, guys, guys!
12:37Is it this way?
12:38No.
12:39Come on!
12:40We're basically in last place right now.
12:42I just need them to hurry up.
12:43Bro, come on.
12:44Let's go, you got it!
12:46Oh, yeah!
12:47Yeah, come on!
12:49Come on, come on, come on, you can do it!
12:52Come on!
12:53Let's go, baby, let's go!
12:56Yeah!
12:58I feel like I didn't need to swim as fast as I did.
13:01My efforts might've been wasted on the first challenge
13:04where we need to make our mark.
13:05This is disappointing to me.
13:07I'm Eddie.
13:08I live in Caledonia, Ontario,
13:10and I work construction and build fences
13:12with one of my best friends.
13:13Growing up in a small town, everybody knows everybody,
13:16and I think it's shaped me into who I am today.
13:20Something you might not know about me
13:21is I'm in UFC's Power Slap.
13:23It's a slapping competition.
13:25The last person standing, they win.
13:27To purposely get slapped in the face takes balls.
13:30It takes big cojones.
13:33I will be the winner of this competition.
13:35I don't know who's gonna be on my team,
13:37but whoever is, they're gonna win with me.
13:40Come on, let's go!
13:42Come on, Gracia!
13:43Do not give up!
13:44It's in there!
13:46Yeah!
13:48Yes, let's go!
13:51And Gracia has her Team Yellow t-shirt,
13:54and they can finally move on to this part of the challenge.
13:57Let's go.
13:58Let's go.
13:59Team Yellow is gonna have a lot of ground to make up here.
14:03Is it a surfboard?
14:04Guys, it's a surfboard!
14:05You're right, it's a surfboard.
14:06Go!
14:07One more piece here.
14:08Yes, yes, yes!
14:09Okay, we're giving it to the top.
14:10We're giving it to the top first.
14:11We're the first team to assemble a puzzle together.
14:13We're coming in hot.
14:14Let's get this win.
14:15Top left, baby, top left.
14:16Top left?
14:17Left, left, left, left.
14:17Both Team Blue and Team Green
14:19have sent their players to the rigs.
14:21This is gonna be our first piece on the right.
14:22On the right?
14:23Yeah.
14:24Okay.
14:25Guys, let's do this.
14:26Let's go.
14:27Three, two, one, up!
14:28Oh my God.
14:30I am not usually afraid of heights.
14:32Oh!
14:34Oh!
14:35But this thing is way taller than I expected.
14:38Plus, this board is a sad excuse for a swing.
14:41I'm gonna throw up.
14:42I'm gonna throw up!
14:44One, two, pull!
14:45One, two, pull!
14:47One, two, pull!
14:49Remember, they're 40 feet up in the air.
14:51I don't like heights,
14:52but at this point, if you chose to be up there,
14:54you just gotta do it.
14:56Okay, hold me!
14:58There's wind, there's sun in my eyes,
15:01and I have to balance myself on this beam.
15:05It is insane.
15:07Hi, my name is Veronica.
15:08I'm from Langley, B.C.
15:11I grew up in a Hispanic household.
15:12My mom is Mexican.
15:13Mi papa es El Salvador,
15:15and that's why you've got me.
15:17You've got a little bubbly beast, okay?
15:19I'm loud, I'm proud,
15:21but you don't wanna get on my bad side.
15:23You actually don't.
15:24Don't get on my bad side.
15:27Recently, I got out of a long-term relationship,
15:29and it was hard.
15:31This newfound person within me
15:33is so much stronger and so much more determined
15:36than I ever thought she could be.
15:40I'm really here to just prove to myself
15:42that I am strong enough.
15:44You're gonna underestimate me,
15:46and it's gonna be your downfall.
15:51Okay, we're good!
15:53Team Yellow, who was last to start this process,
15:56now making up a lot of ground here.
15:58Ready?
15:59Let's go!
16:00Let's go, baby.
16:01Let's go, guys!
16:02Let's go, team!
16:02I believe in you!
16:03I'm feeling good.
16:04I'm feeling confident in our team,
16:06and right now, I'm focusing on getting this job done.
16:10I'm Kelly.
16:11I'm a Jibwe from Wikwemikong First Nation.
16:15I'm a professional hockey player and a hype gal, baby!
16:18Let me out of the gates!
16:20Playing pro hockey has been my dream my whole life.
16:23So I was like, dad, we're going to the NHL,
16:25and he laughed at me.
16:26But now, it's amazing to see
16:28that there is a pro women's league, the PWHL,
16:32that little girls can actually look up to
16:35and be like, I'm going to this league.
16:36Babs Stock, she scores!
16:39I'm the best teammate,
16:40but if you're not on my team, it sucks to be you.
16:43You should've stayed home!
16:45I'm just joking.
16:47I got this, buddies!
16:48I got this, Yellow!
16:50We're now one hour into this challenge,
16:53and still, it's anyone's game.
16:55Okay, let's lift her up.
16:58You guys, that's not right.
17:00I think we should almost bring her down and reset it,
17:01honestly.
17:02When we go to clip the next piece in,
17:03we realize it doesn't quite fit
17:05the way it looked like it was going to fit
17:07when we had it laid out on the ground.
17:09Something's up.
17:10Unclip it all!
17:11This piece, too?
17:13All of it!
17:14Let her down a bit.
17:16Oh my gosh, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay!
17:18Ooh, and Team Green is just hanging on by the safety rope.
17:22Oh my God!
17:23I'm blacking out.
17:25Let her down, let her down.
17:26Got you, baby, got you.
17:27Look at their, everybody has three to one side except us.
17:30Okay, okay.
17:31The first piece on the right
17:32is the one that we need to do first.
17:33Let's start there.
17:34Okay, okay.
17:35Three, two, one.
17:37Bring her up, bring her up.
17:39Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
17:42Team Red is in the lead here,
17:43but take a look at this!
17:44Team Yellow now working on their eighth banner piece.
17:48They only have five more to go.
17:51What a comeback!
17:52Yes, Kelly!
17:53Let's go!
17:54There you go, go!
17:56There you go, let's go!
17:57Keep going here, team, awesome job!
18:00You got this, Micaiah!
18:01It doesn't reach!
18:02These two go opposite each other,
18:04so the left goes to the right, right goes to the left.
18:07Stop, Miriam, Miriam, stop!
18:08Miriam!
18:09These two pieces, flip them, flip them!
18:12I think this is wrong.
18:13We have to swap them.
18:15What's going on?
18:16I need people to listen to me.
18:18I've been working in problem solving my whole life.
18:23I'm Miriam, I'm from Toronto.
18:24I was born in Saudi Arabia,
18:26but I was raised in Egypt,
18:27and then we went to the US,
18:29and that's where I finished my PhD
18:31at MIT in civil engineering,
18:33and I left it all behind for fitness.
18:36Being here is a win for me
18:37to represent all the women in hijabis
18:40who are into fitness,
18:41and are always told that they do not belong in there.
18:44I've been undermined so many times,
18:47and I'm here to tell them that you can be strong,
18:49you can be sexy, you can be smart,
18:51and I'm here to shatter those judgments.
18:54Let's go, we are not losing this.
18:56Hustle, AJ, hustle!
18:57Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
18:59Team Orange moving along well here,
19:01but Team Red and Team Yellow,
19:03neck and neck, both on their last piece.
19:06You gotta love a comeback story.
19:07We're almost there!
19:09It's a home stretch!
19:10I am motivated to win,
19:12to show my team that I'm not dead weight.
19:13You got two, three more carabinas!
19:15That's it!
19:16I am not here on a vacation.
19:17I'm here to kill it,
19:19and I'm here to slip.
19:20Yes, yes!
19:21Pride is on the line.
19:22Who's it gonna be?
19:24Yellow or Red?
19:26Let's go!
19:30Will Yellow or Red take this?
19:33Good!
19:33Down, down, down!
19:34Check!
19:35We get a check?
19:36Check!
19:37Team Red?
19:38Check!
19:40You're correct!
19:41Yes!
19:42First place for Team Red.
19:45Come on!
19:46Come on, come on, come on!
19:47Come on, come on, come on, come on!
19:49Yes!
19:52I love Team Red.
19:53Let's go!
19:55We killed it in that challenge,
19:57and I know that we're a force to be reckoned with
19:59moving forward.
20:00Good job, Hercules.
20:02You did great.
20:05Go!
20:06Check, check, check, check, check!
20:09Team Yellow?
20:12You're correct!
20:13Let's go!
20:15Wow, the two teams last to the puzzle
20:17come first and second.
20:19Three, two, one!
20:20Yes!
20:22What a comeback for Team Yellow!
20:24This is one of the best feelings of my life.
20:26We went from last all the way to second.
20:30I couldn't have wished for anything better.
20:31Bottom, though!
20:32Oh, I know!
20:33Started from the bottom, now we're here!
20:36Before everyone comes,
20:37we should make like a formal truce.
20:39Yeah, I like that.
20:40Because I think these are the two strongest teams here.
20:42100%.
20:43We're giving each other our word
20:44that we wouldn't put each other on the block like that,
20:46right?
20:47Yeah.
20:48We're on the same page here.
20:48Let's keep it low-key and not tell the other teams.
20:50Yeah, don't make a big noise.
20:51Three, two, one.
20:51Lock it, lock it.
20:52Okay, let's go.
20:53Perfect, it's good.
20:55There it is, guys!
20:56There it is, there it is.
20:57Let's go!
20:58Team Orange, Team Blue, neck and neck.
21:00Who will take third place
21:02and those all-important three points?
21:04But you still got third!
21:05I got it!
21:07Check, check!
21:08Team Orange?
21:11You're correct!
21:12Yeah!
21:13Well, let's go!
21:14Here comes Team Orange now!
21:17There they go!
21:18Team Orange captures third place.
21:23Come on, come on!
21:25Ready?
21:26Check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check!
21:29Team Blue?
21:30You got it!
21:34Three, two, one!
21:35I am so frustrated.
21:36We were the first team to start that puzzle.
21:39We could have done a better job.
21:41Good job, team.
21:43Okay, finish strong, let's go!
21:44No pouting!
21:45We're now two hours into this challenge
21:48and as the sun goes down,
21:50Team Green is almost there.
21:52Okay, there we go, last piece.
21:53The last thing I will do being here is quit.
21:55I might fail, I might be last,
21:57but I will not quit.
21:59Okay, like that?
22:00Let's go, Green!
22:03Let's go, team!
22:04All right, friends, is it done?
22:07Team Green, you are correct!
22:11Go read that buzzer!
22:12Yeah, let's go read that buzzer!
22:15Ready?
22:16Ready!
22:17What?
22:20Okay, there we go.
22:21Does that count?
22:24I'm pissed.
22:25I did not come out here to place last.
22:28It was the comeback story.
22:31So, teams Red and Yellow take the top spots
22:34while Team Green starts their journey
22:36at the bottom of our leaderboard.
22:38But with more challenges to come,
22:40this region is totally up for grabs.
22:45That was crazy!
22:49That was a good win.
22:51Yo!
22:51So good.
22:53Team Yellow, they're a strong team.
22:54I think we can keep them on our side for a little bit.
22:56I don't think they would screw us over.
22:58Right now?
23:00Sure, but this is a game,
23:02and anyone's gonna say anything to win.
23:05So, we'll see.
23:07Yeah.
23:08We'll see.
23:09All right, let's go.
23:10Let's go.
23:11Let's go.
23:11Let's go.
23:13I'm really happy that we did that little alliance
23:17with Team Red.
23:17Yeah.
23:18The thing, though, is, at the end of the day,
23:20I still wanna beat them.
23:21And I think it's gonna be good and healthy rivalry,
23:24but we have to keep them on a good side.
23:26Oh, yeah.
23:27When we're on top on the next one,
23:29and they're halfway down,
23:30it might be best to get rid of them.
23:34How do you guys think the vibe in the car is
23:36for Team Green?
23:37It must be fire.
23:43That was awful.
23:45I'm sorry for the way I was acted after.
23:47I'm just really
23:51a sore loser.
23:52Yeah.
23:52Yeah, we know that.
23:58Today's gonna be absolutely amazing.
23:59A little bit of rain,
24:01but that's just gonna go to show who can handle it,
24:03you know?
24:04Yeah.
24:06Team Red,
24:07I think,
24:07I think,
24:08I think,
24:09I think,
24:10I think,
24:11I think,
24:12Team Red is a beast.
24:14It's in our best interest to align with them.
24:17I agree.
24:18I woke up this morning with one and only one thought.
24:21I'm super pumped to be on Team Blue.
24:23Now comes the time when we have to choose a captain,
24:26and I'm super excited because, actually,
24:28I do wanna be the captain.
24:29Who are you comfortable to be Team Captain?
24:33You've been my rock, my stone,
24:35and I will always look to you for that.
24:37Seriously?
24:38But I know both of you are thinking strategy,
24:40like strategy, strategy, strategy,
24:42and I love that.
24:43How do you feel?
24:44I want you to be Team Captain for this.
24:46Okay.
24:48I wanna know, Miriam, how you feel as well.
24:49I'm gonna be a team player,
24:50and let's go with you.
24:51That's how I felt, Miriam.
24:52I'm gonna give it my all.
24:54I am so excited to be Team Captain.
24:56I am ready to get us to that number one spot.
25:01I'm Aaron.
25:01I am from Toronto, Ontario,
25:03and I am a former competitive figure skater.
25:05They don't call me Gay Jesus for nothing, sweetheart.
25:08It's not just the hair,
25:09and it's not just because I'm born on Christmas Day.
25:11We also preach the positivity.
25:13Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:16I actually competed up to the senior international level
25:19in figure skating,
25:20but truthfully,
25:21I haven't gotten to dip into this competitive fire
25:24in 10 years.
25:25So watch out,
25:26because I am running with it.
25:29I have a really good feeling about us today, guys.
25:32Let's go and win.
25:34Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
25:43Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
25:47Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
25:50Day two, Team Red is coming in calm, cool, and collected.
25:55We know that we can execute and win another one.
25:57I'm ready to go.
25:59This is Steph representing Conception Bay South,
26:01Newfoundland,
26:02and I'm a former professional bodybuilder.
26:04I ended up winning my IFBB pro card in 2016,
26:08but what motivates me is my baby girl.
26:11She is my inspiration.
26:12I'm a mama bear.
26:13I will lift a vehicle off a human.
26:16Underestimate me.
26:17I dare you.
26:23All right.
26:24I'm a lighthouse.
26:26There we go.
26:29Teams, welcome to you Kool-Aid.
26:32Yay!
26:34All right.
26:35Before I give you the lay of the land
26:36for your next challenge,
26:38we need to choose team captains.
26:40Team Red, get us started.
26:42Who are you giving the seat to?
26:43Right here, baby.
26:44The big girl.
26:45Steph.
26:46She's a leader.
26:47She's a mother,
26:48and we got a little family of four.
26:50Let's go, big dog.
26:51Thank you, sir.
26:52You're welcome.
26:53Yeah!
26:54Yeah!
26:55Perfect fit right there.
26:55Let's go!
26:56Looks good.
26:57Team Blue, who are you naming as captain?
26:59Our big dog, A-A-Rod!
27:02Congratulations!
27:04Let's go!
27:06Okay.
27:07There you go.
27:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:09There we go.
27:10There we go.
27:11You can tell by that strut up there,
27:12he's got the energy that we need.
27:14I got the best team with me,
27:15and we're going to show it.
27:17All right.
27:18Team Yellow, who's it going to be?
27:20Our big papa over here, Eddie boy.
27:22Eddie!
27:25Congratulations, my guy.
27:26Thank you, brother.
27:27Look at you, tomato red.
27:29Let's go.
27:33Yes!
27:36Team Green is Ashley.
27:42I'm the captain, and I'm so pumped.
27:46I'm Ashlyn, I'm from Lethbridge, Alberta,
27:49and I'm a podcaster.
27:50But I also have a bachelor's of science
27:52with a major in chemistry.
27:53I've written a book, so I am a nerd at heart.
27:56I can talk circles around people.
27:58So if my team needs someone to be the leader,
27:59to shake hands, to kiss babies,
28:01whatever I got to do, I'm your girl.
28:04And finally, Team Orange.
28:06We chose AJ.
28:07This team right here.
28:08Let's go!
28:09That's our boy!
28:11Hey, I'm absolutely gagged.
28:12Love y'all.
28:13Really, guys?
28:14You don't even know me yet.
28:17My name is AJ.
28:18I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia,
28:20and I am a tumbling coach.
28:22The sport of cheerleading is harder
28:23than any sport that we have.
28:25It's not hard to throw a ball in a net.
28:28As a coach, I am hard.
28:29Don't get on my bad side,
28:31because I will snap.
28:32Now, you've probably heard the expression,
28:35taking the path of least resistance, right?
28:37Yes.
28:39Well, we're doing the complete opposite of that
28:41in your second challenge.
28:43This is the ultimate tethered track.
28:47And here's how it all goes down.
28:49Each team will be tethered together
28:51as you traverse this 600 meter maze-like trail
28:54in search of the three digit call sign to this lighthouse.
28:58The call sign numbers are hidden randomly
29:01inside three of each team's 25 total sandbags.
29:05But you better muscle up,
29:06because these sandbags are behemoths,
29:09ranging from 50 to 75 pounds.
29:12Now, the first team to uncover the call sign
29:15and successfully light the beacon,
29:17earns the most points.
29:19Okay.
29:20Teams, get geared up and take your marks.
29:24Team red is locked and loaded.
29:25We're ready to eat.
29:29The ultimate tethered track starts...
29:35Now!
29:39Okay, take your time.
29:40Yeah, right there, right there.
29:41Okay, good, one out.
29:43Freak out. Freak out, okay.
29:45I think we have to undo.
29:46Have to undo one?
29:46Yeah.
29:47First challenge as a captain,
29:49there's a lot of pressure,
29:50but I honestly feel excited about it,
29:52because I want to lead this team to greatness.
29:54Tie it in, tie it in.
29:55All right, we're good, we're good, we're good.
29:57Team blue is the first out of the gate,
29:58and one step at a time, they have to do this,
30:00because if one player runs too fast,
30:02the entire team will go down.
30:04All right, there goes team blue.
30:05Oh, team blue crashes into my camera.
30:08Get it together, team blue.
30:10We're in a line.
30:11Okay, you guys good?
30:12Go, go, go.
30:13Breathe, breathe, breathe.
30:13End job, go.
30:14Go, go, go.
30:15Ready?
30:16Go.
30:17Good pace, good pace.
30:18Stay as one.
30:18Come on, guys.
30:19Let's go inside.
30:20Pace is it.
30:21This is gonna be a lot of work.
30:23We're all tethered together.
30:24We have ropes in between us that are five inches apart.
30:27Some people in our group may run faster than others,
30:30but we have to be working cohesively here.
30:34I'm Mark, currently living in Canmore, Alberta.
30:37I'm a solid waste service operator,
30:39pretty much a glorified garbage man, baby.
30:42I'm pretty average when it comes to fitness.
30:45I mean, check these guns out, baby.
30:46They're not even that big, but I can skateboard.
30:49I can hacky.
30:50I can handstand.
30:51I can juggle.
30:52I can human flag.
30:53I can do cool stuff.
30:55These are my vibes, baby.
30:57Peace and love.
30:59Here's bags here.
31:00Let's each grab one and go.
31:01I got two.
31:02I got two.
31:03Okay, pace.
31:06I think our best bet is to get to the end of this trail.
31:08Yeah.
31:09Let's go.
31:10You got it?
31:11Careful.
31:12Synchronize.
31:12We're doing good.
31:13Yeah.
31:14Do we want to stop here and go back?
31:16Let's do it.
31:16Might as well.
31:18We need to see where the end is.
31:19We're going to the end of this trail.
31:21We've decided that at the beginning,
31:22when you have the most amount of energy,
31:24we want to go all the way to the end of the trail head.
31:26Let's get it over with.
31:27Good pace.
31:28Team green is at the bottom of the leaderboard.
31:30We have to perform.
31:31We have to get points.
31:32We cannot be automatically put
31:34into this elimination showdown.
31:35One, two, three.
31:38Are they all the same weight?
31:40I think this one might be lighter.
31:41These sandbags are heavy as AF.
31:44Drag it if you have to.
31:45We'll take it slow.
31:46You guys, this is really heavy though.
31:48Over, over, over.
31:49It's like picking up a block of cement.
31:52It's awful, man.
31:54One, two, three.
31:55You're ready, guys.
31:56Let's go.
31:57Oh, that's two of you.
31:59Wide now, wide now, wide now.
32:00Come on.
32:01Team yellow, the last out of the gate.
32:02The first to start bringing back their sandbags.
32:04Santa with the presents.
32:06Right behind them, team blue and team red.
32:09The elements, the physical stress.
32:12This is a brutal challenge.
32:14Nothing?
32:15Nothing.
32:16You open another one and I'll check it.
32:18Make sure you see everything.
32:20Check all this, check all this.
32:21Yeah, I got one.
32:22Beautiful.
32:23All right, let's go.
32:24Team yellow is the first to find one of the call numbers.
32:26Let's go.
32:27Permission, permission?
32:28There's none, let's go.
32:29That's it?
32:30Let's go, let's go.
32:30Nothing.
32:31Nothing.
32:32Ready?
32:33Nothing for red or blue.
32:34Team yellow, the only one with a number so far.
32:35This is gonna be a long trek, guys.
32:37Walk faster, don't let them pass us.
32:38You got it, girl.
32:39Work.
32:40Game.
32:41All right.
32:42That's okay, that's okay.
32:43No, I can't do both, man.
32:43That's okay.
32:44So, I think right here.
32:47Yes.
32:48Yes, there's two, three, four bags.
32:50Let's just do it.
32:51Here.
32:52This is a long trail
32:53and there's a lot of offshoots.
32:54We need to make sure that we don't miss anything.
32:57Here, here.
32:59No more tangled camera, then.
33:01You got one.
33:02You got one.
33:03Team red finds their first number.
33:05Nothing but a leaf.
33:06I got one, I got one.
33:07Yeah.
33:08Go, here.
33:08Yeah.
33:09And team blue finds a number.
33:13We got the hardest ones, just remember that.
33:15Yeah, we got the hardest ones.
33:15Yeah.
33:16We're almost there.
33:17Right behind team orange,
33:19team green with their first sandbags.
33:21We're not there yet.
33:22We're not there yet.
33:23Keep grinding.
33:24Get that sand out.
33:26I got one.
33:26It looks like team orange found their first number.
33:28I don't think there's anymore.
33:29Ready?
33:30Hey, okay.
33:31Oh, okay.
33:32I got one.
33:33You got one?
33:33Team green has found a number.
33:34Let's go, let's go.
33:35That means all five teams have located
33:37one of their call sign numbers.
33:39We should do middle.
33:40Middle, yeah.
33:41We don't gotta go to the end.
33:42Okay, we're gonna go to the close one.
33:43Okay.
33:45I want you to hold this.
33:46I can't hold it on the left.
33:47Yes, you can.
33:49Yeah.
33:50You got it.
33:51We're on the left side, it's sore.
33:52Let's go.
33:53Lead with me.
33:55You can do it.
33:55Keep going.
33:56You can do it.
33:57Keep going.
33:58I can't.
33:59Yes, you can.
34:00Let's go.
34:00My patience is being so tested right now.
34:03We've gotta pick it up.
34:05We gotta run faster.
34:07Aaron.
34:07Come on.
34:08You're okay.
34:09Please.
34:10You're gonna kill me.
34:11We gotta go.
34:12Where's the clippers?
34:12Here.
34:13I'm sorry.
34:14Push.
34:15Let's go, let's go, let's go.
34:16Drive, drive, drive.
34:17Come on, baby.
34:17Come on, baby.
34:18I see it.
34:19I got one, I got one.
34:20Yeah, let's go.
34:21Team Green has found their second call sign number.
34:23They only need one more.
34:25We're first, we're first.
34:25Faster, faster, faster.
34:27But nothing this time for Team Orange.
34:30This is no joke.
34:32One sec, one sec, one sec, one sec, one sec, one sec.
34:34Dragging is not a good strategy.
34:36Please.
34:37No, we're in a weird spot.
34:38It's not good, guys.
34:39No, it's the time, man.
34:40Keep it, keep it, keep it.
34:42It's just for the win.
34:43Let's go.
34:43We're strong, yeah.
34:45Watch your left.
34:46Light work, let's go.
34:47Team Green is coming in hot
34:49for the only team that has two numbers
34:51on the board.
34:52This is our redemption.
34:53This is our comeback.
34:54This is it right here, baby.
34:55Camera's on us.
34:56This is it.
34:57They believe they got it.
34:58Look at them with that confidence.
35:01This is easy money.
35:02Like, we're actually gonna get first right now.
35:04Let's go right here.
35:05They're looking for gold.
35:06They're looking for that third call sign number.
35:09Come on, come on, come on.
35:12This tether trek has been punishing for our teams,
35:15but Green is only one call sign away
35:17from pulling off a victory.
35:19We're looking for a number one, guys, okay?
35:20Yeah.
35:21Double check, double check.
35:22Ah! Nope.
35:23That's okay, no problem.
35:25We go back, we go back.
35:26We're wasting time, let's go.
35:26All right, here we go.
35:27Team Green is gonna have to head back to the trail
35:30and find more sandbags.
35:33It's falling, it's falling.
35:34Okay.
35:35I need help picking it up.
35:36Stop.
35:37My legs are hurting.
35:38My shoulders are hurting.
35:39My back is hurting.
35:40Come on, we're so freaking close.
35:41But we have to keep going.
35:43We have to keep winning.
35:45Yes!
35:46Yes!
35:47Keep going, one more.
35:48One more, one more.
35:49Ah!
35:50You guys are dragging me.
35:51We will pull you, D.
35:53I'm not only dragging sandbags,
35:56I'm also dragging my teammate who's double my size,
35:59because he's gas.
36:01I wanted to come for a challenge,
36:02and well, baby, I got a challenge, that's for sure.
36:05Oh my gosh.
36:06Come on, D.
36:07I have a cramp in both legs.
36:08You gotta push, D.
36:10This is one of the worst things I've had to do in my life.
36:12Okay, let's go.
36:13It's so exhausting.
36:14Every step is like a battle.
36:16I feel like I'm at war right now.
36:19Use your nose right now.
36:20You're not using your nose, D.
36:22Breathe.
36:23Damien starts saying,
36:24ah, my legs are cramping.
36:26Ah, my legs.
36:28Can you drag one at least?
36:29Oh my gosh.
36:30We do not have time for this.
36:32Please.
36:33Guys, I got it.
36:34Guys, we just need the one.
36:37All five teams now with two numbers.
36:39Next one wins.
36:41I feel like there's a whole other stash of eggs
36:42we didn't even meet yet.
36:43So where are they?
36:44They're down one of those paths.
36:45Ah!
36:46Check down here.
36:47Everywhere.
36:48This is a trail.
36:49We didn't go down here.
36:51No one's found this.
36:52No one's found these ones.
36:53No one's found this yet.
36:55Guys, be quiet.
36:56Did we check down here?
36:58We can't let anyone see this.
36:59No, leave these.
37:00Leave these.
37:01I'll hold it.
37:02I'll hold it.
37:03Give me the lighter bag.
37:04Guys, Blueberry, listen to me.
37:05Guys, Blueberry, listen.
37:07Can everyone listen?
37:07We have two more there.
37:08Just get these two.
37:09We're gonna get the other two.
37:10We don't want to come back and forth.
37:11We are.
37:12We're just sneaking.
37:13Yes, we're here.
37:14It's stupid.
37:15It's stupid.
37:16Such a stupid idea.
37:18Shh, just listen.
37:19Just leave it.
37:20We just need to get all the bags at the same time,
37:22so we don't need to go back anymore.
37:24Guys, they already found it.
37:26Just listen to me, please.
37:26This is stupid.
37:28Don't call me stupid, please.
37:29We have one more up here still.
37:31You know what I mean?
37:32They are not listening.
37:33None of them are.
37:35Guys, I feel we need to go back for the other bags.
37:37I don't want to go all the way.
37:38We've got to get some back.
37:40Miriam, please.
37:41I'm the captain right now.
37:42I'm sorry.
37:42We've got to go.
37:43We can't second guess this.
37:44Let's go!
37:45Team Blue only need to find one last call sign number.
37:49Will it be in these bags?
37:50Where is it?
37:52Here we go.
37:53There is no numbers in those sandbags.
37:54I told you.
37:55Open the other bag.
37:56Open the other bag.
37:57Open the other bag.
37:58We can't open another bag before we're done.
38:00We didn't check down here.
38:01We did not check down here.
38:01No, we didn't.
38:02There it is.
38:03I don't think I can run.
38:04That's what I'm saying.
38:05He's Josh.
38:06Guys, I'm cramping.
38:07Keep going.
38:09We're so close.
38:10I'm seeing a team coming around the corner here.
38:12Yes, we're right here.
38:13Come on.
38:14Don't stop until we're at that stage.
38:16Here we go.
38:16It's Team Red now.
38:17They're hoping to find that final call sign number.
38:19Let's go.
38:21And Team Captain Steph just dropped to the ground.
38:23Let's go.
38:24Let's go.
38:25Guys, we're almost there at the front.
38:26Come on.
38:26Yeah, I can see it, guys.
38:27Not there.
38:28Not there.
38:32Team Red has found their final call sign number.
38:34Check them.
38:35Check them.
38:38And Team Red comes in first.
38:40Yeah!
38:44Oh, baby!
38:45We win the challenge and we show everyone
38:48what Team Red is made of.
38:50Two wins in a row.
38:51Oh, yeah!
38:52Team Red with back-to-back wins.
38:55Oh, I need out of this harness.
38:57Yeah.
38:57I knew it.
38:58I knew it, guys.
38:59Miriam, I didn't know you meant it that way.
39:00So just please speak.
39:02Yeah, but you didn't explain it.
39:03Don't run.
39:04Just like take bigger steps.
39:05Guys, my legs.
39:06Oh my gosh.
39:07Gotta push.
39:08Come on, team.
39:09Pick up the pace.
39:10We see Orange team right behind us
39:12and they've got a head start.
39:13Let's go.
39:14So we need to kick it into second gear.
39:16If we get to the end right now, we're second.
39:17These are our last three.
39:18Shh.
39:19These are our last three bags.
39:20I don't care.
39:21I need motivation right now.
39:22There's none down there.
39:23This is it.
39:24Yeah, this is it.
39:25That's our last bag.
39:26Here we go.
39:27We gotta find these bags.
39:28There's a path here, no?
39:29Oh, you're right.
39:30There's a trail.
39:31You're right.
39:32Oh, there's there.
39:33Let's go.
39:33Okay, perfect.
39:34You got this.
39:35Finally.
39:36Okay.
39:37Yes, we are.
39:38Yes, we are.
39:39Here comes Team Orange.
39:40They're fighting to take second place now.
39:42Here.
39:43Guys, I got it.
39:44I got it.
39:45Go, go, go.
39:46And Team Orange has found their final call sign number.
39:49Yes!
39:51Second place for Team Orange.
39:53Yes!
39:55Yes!
39:57We did this.
39:59Let's go!
40:00Come on, come on, come on.
40:01Yes!
40:02Come on, come on, come on.
40:03Yes!
40:04Feel it, feel it.
40:04That's what's up.
40:05This is how we're supposed to go yesterday.
40:07Yes!
40:08Do you guys want to solidify something?
40:10Guys, look at this.
40:11Top teams, let's go.
40:11Let's talk, let's talk.
40:12I think you guys trust us.
40:14We're honest in our word.
40:15We're never gonna put you guys in.
40:17If you keep us safe this time, we got you.
40:19We're down.
40:19Okay.
40:20You guys are honest.
40:21Yeah, for sure.
40:22As much as this is a physical game,
40:24I came here to play the social game too.
40:26If I can solidify myself with each one of these squads,
40:29everybody's gonna love Team Red.
40:31Let's just keep this on the low key, of course,
40:33because there's five teams here.
40:35Cat and shake, let's go.
40:37Go, go, go.
40:38Guys.
40:39Make sure to walk through it.
40:40Hut.
40:41Go!
40:42Go, go, go!
40:43Go, go, go!
40:44Team Blue has found their final call sign number.
40:46Ready?
40:47Three, two, one.
40:48Woo!
40:50Team Blue takes third.
40:52I love you.
40:53I love you.
40:54Excuse me, guys.
40:55Left, left, left, left.
40:55We're on the left.
40:56We're on the left.
40:57Keep it going, guys.
40:58Keep it going.
40:59Last one.
41:00Last one.
41:01They only have one bag.
41:01It's okay, we got it.
41:02Here comes Team Yellow.
41:04They've only got one sandbag,
41:06but they seem confident that their final number is in there.
41:09Open it up.
41:10Watch out, watch out, watch out.
41:11I got it, I got it, I got it.
41:13Right behind them, Team Green with four sandbags.
41:15We can catch them.
41:16This is a fight for fourth place.
41:18It's in there.
41:18It has to be in here.
41:20Okay, it's in one of these bags.
41:21Let's go.
41:22Everyone, get on your hands and knees.
41:24Bro.
41:25What the?
41:27Oh, it's not in there.
41:27It's not in there.
41:29What?
41:30No, no, no, no, no.
41:30No.
41:32Count the bags.
41:33I don't know how to grip anymore.
41:34Yeah, we got it, we got it.
41:36And Team Green has located their final call sign number.
41:39Here they come.
41:41There you go.
41:43Team Green takes fourth place.
41:45It was so close.
41:46It was right in our clutch.
41:47We just made a simple mistake
41:50of not finding that one hidden path.
41:52This sucks.
41:53So close.
41:55It wouldn't be over there, would it?
41:56Would it be in here?
41:57That is.
41:58There you go.
41:59We didn't see this path.
42:01Predama never out.
42:02And after more than 90 minutes in this challenge,
42:06Team Yellow showing that they're not giving up.
42:08Keep them all in one place so you can find them.
42:11And Team Yellow has found their last call sign number.
42:16And just like that,
42:17Team Yellow takes last place in this challenge.
42:20Good job, guys.
42:21Good job.
42:22Good work, guys.
42:23It was tough, yeah?
42:24That disappointing finish for Team Yellow
42:26only earns them one more point.
42:28It's two more points for Team Green,
42:30three for Blue, and four for Orange.
42:33But Team Red's winning streak continues.
42:36Five more points puts them comfortably
42:37on top of the leaderboard.
42:39For how long?
42:40We'll have to wait and see.
42:41Congratulations to Team Red.
42:43Back-to-back wins.
42:45Yay!
42:46Good work, guys.
42:47Good job, guys.
42:48But listen,
42:49you never wanna get too comfortable in this competition.
42:52Because at our next stop,
42:54one team will be eliminated.
42:57Whoa.
42:57Yes.
42:58I'll see you all on the mainland.
43:06You gotta stay strong with Red.
43:07You gotta stay strong with Red.
43:10To win back-to-back is huge.
43:12Like, right away, bro.
43:12See how we finished right away?
43:14What's the first thing that happened?
43:15Orange came out.
43:16They were kissing our feet.
43:18Yesterday, what happened?
43:20Yellow came out just straight away.
43:22They're riding their high horse.
43:22They just went both.
43:23Keen is the man that talks to everybody.
43:26And they can't have a deal with both Yellow and Red.
43:28They can't.
43:28They have a deal with Yellow.
43:30They're talking with Orange right now.
43:31We're going in.
43:32That's just how it is.
43:33We always have to tell people what they wanna hear
43:34because that will help them trust Red.
43:37I hate this part of the game.
43:39I don't like it either.
43:40I love winning, bro.
43:41Oh, exactly.
43:42That's what we gotta do.
43:43But this is still a social game too.
43:44You can't game up with everybody.
43:47This game is about strategy, sweetheart.
43:48It's not just about athleticism.
43:51Keenan's making alliances with everybody.
43:54This is the stuff that gets me pissed
43:56because I'm the best player in this field.
43:58Get W's, baby.
43:59I'm the alpha male here.
44:00Marquis.
44:01Why the would I make alliances with everybody else?
44:05Next time on Canada's Ultimate Challenge.
44:08Welcome to Vancouver.
44:10We know the elimination showdown is coming up.
44:13The playtime is over.
44:14It's all or nothing.
44:15Oh my gosh.
44:19Red actually wants one of us out.
44:21Yeah.
44:22Wow.
44:22This is the elimination showdown.
44:25One team's journey will end here.
44:29Some true colors are starting to show, that's for sure.
44:30You can literally go yourself.
