Transcript
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!
00:25Woo!
00:26I did it!
00:28For nine seasons, we've raced to amazing heights and shared some unforgettable moments along the way.
00:37I can't believe I did it!
00:39Unreal!
00:41And now, 11 new teams are ready to race.
00:49Michael and Tyson, best friends and professional baseball players from Vancouver.
00:53I 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.
01:04We actually got to play a couple tours together. We were teammates for Team Canada.
01:11We not only bring in the physicality, we're the Mr. Congenialities.
01:15Racers better beware, we're coming.
01:18We're coming.
01:23Kevin and Gurleen, newly dating couple from Calgary and Abbotsford, British Columbia.
01:29I'm Kevin, I won Big Brother Canada.
01:32I'm Gurleen, you might know me from Farming for Love, and we both met on Traders Canada.
01:39You guys know I'm a faithful. Look at the evidence! How could I have played this game as a trader?
01:43I just feel sad that Kevin left.
01:48We have only really been dating for eight months, but we're madly in love.
01:53Kevin is the man of my dreams, literally.
01:56Oh my God, that's too much. Like, that's too much.
01:59Eva and Tristan, best friends from Toronto.
02:05Eva and I met about four years ago. We work out at the same gym, and we have been linked at the hip ever since.
02:13To train with us.
02:14Be ready to work hard.
02:15Eva and I inspire and empower those around us.
02:18Period.
02:19Period.
02:25Michael and Amari, father and son from Thunder Child, First Nation, Saskatchewan.
02:31I was 21 when Amari was born.
02:33Like, I think he peaked in maturity when he had me, and I never developed from there.
02:39So I'm being raised by a 20-year-old my whole life.
02:44I'm a retired pro basketball player. I am in the North American Indigenous Athletic Hall of Fame.
02:52When there's cash on the line, there's not a smile on his face.
02:55I'm not actually competing with my dad. I'm competing with money Mike.
03:00Not magic Mike.
03:01Not magic, money.
03:03Taylor and Katie, best friends from Edmonton.
03:07We're freestyle wrestlers.
03:10Freestyle wrestling is a tough sport.
03:126 a.m. practices, bruises, sore bodies.
03:17Last year we had the opportunity to leave the University of Alberta as champs, which is where we got these awesome rings.
03:24And this year we want to leave the amazing race, Canada, as champs.
03:30Dorothy and Aloos, married couple from Calgary.
03:34We moved to Canada from Lagos, Nigeria, three years ago.
03:37We want to represent people who came to Canada with only a few boxes and a lot of dreams.
03:43Look at us, lovebirds.
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 I would rather travel with than Dorothy.
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.
04:12And they're embarrassing.
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 great 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.
04:40Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
04:44As an eight-year-old girl, my dad winning the Cup, it was so cool.
04:46He'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. All day.
04:57Every day. Yeah, baby.
04:58Let's go.
05:02From the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, it's time to start the amazing race, Canada.

06:04Oh, there he is!
06:06Welcome to Niagara Falls and welcome to Season 10 of The Amazing Race Canada.
06:19This is the very spot where this adventure started over 10 years ago and now it's your
06:33turn.
06:38Lauren and Nicole, first of all, how do I tell who is who?
06:42You go, you go.
06:45I'm Lauren and I'm Nicole.
06:47We're bringing that twin energy, so twinnergy, that twin telepathy, that double trouble.
06:55There's actually two different sides of us.
06:56We like to dress up, walk a red carpet, but also we are not afraid at all to get our hands
07:02dirty, get our hair wet.
07:03Season 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.
07:11Julie and Olivia, what are the two of you going to be bringing to this race?
07:15We have 10 years of being together and one year of marriage.
07:19We're here to bring it.
07:20We're bringing discipline, energy, and power.
07:25We train for endurance competitions five to six times a week and it is a grueling activity.
07:32We swim, cycle, and run.
07:34To all the other teams, watch out.
07:37Good luck.
07:38The storm is coming.
07:40Connor and John, what are the two of you hoping to show Canadians who are watching?
07:44I'm trying to show the Canadians, not only myself, but the wonderful, inspirational community
07:49of little people that we are not only the same as everyone else physically, but also
07:53mentally and there's no one here I would rather have than my best friend, Connor.
07:58Yeah, buddy.
07:59Connor and I met Frosh Week at McMaster University.
08:04First interaction we have, he's hitting on my girlfriend and I'm like, who the hell is
08:07this 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, he's nothing but inspiring.
08:24Do 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
08:37win the first ever 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS.
08:43That's one for each of you.
08:48Because you were made to travel, our friends at Expedia will be sending you on a dream
08:52trip for two around the world, a quarter of a million dollars cash and the amazing Race
09:03Canada.
09:09Are you ready to go?
09:12Your first clue is on the bags that you brought with you.
09:15Good luck.
09:17Race safe.
09:19Make Canada proud.
09:20Go!
09:21Let's go!
09:22Let's go!
09:23Oh, they're fast.
09:24We're on the amazing Race Canada, baby.
09:25Here we go.
09:26Woo.
09:27Roadblock.
09:28Who's down to go first?
09:29Me.
09:30Me.
09:31In this roadblock, one racer will attempt to cross the finish line first.
09:32I'm ready.
09:33I'm ready.
09:34I'm ready.
09:35I'm ready.
09:36I'm ready.
09:37I'm ready.
09:38I'm ready.
09:39I'm ready.
09:40I'm ready.
09:41I'm ready.
09:42I'm ready.
09:43I'm ready.
09:44I'm ready.
09:45They 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 alongside this raging
09:57waterfall to retrieve their next clue.
10:02I'm going to go first.
10:03Me?
10:04You are.
10:05I am.
10:06Yeah.
10:07You got it, baby.
10:08Okay, I'm going first.
10:09Yeah.
10:10I'll go first.
10:11Do it.
10:12You have $500 for this leg of the race.
10:13Let's go.
10:14Yeah.
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.
10:33This is a really wet day.
10:34Do we want a taxi?
10:35I don't think so.
10:36Should we ask someone how far away it is?
10:37Let's get a bus.
10:38To the falls.
10:39To the falls.
10:40Let's do it.
10:41First come, first serve.
10:42We got to go.
10:43Okay, run.
10:44Are you going to the falls?
10:45We 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.
10:54I don't know why.
10:55The adrenaline is hitting me so freaking hard right now.
10:56We're literally going to pass the other teams.
10:57We're trying to get a cab.
10:58Bye-bye.
10:59See you.
11:00Bye.
11:01See you later.
11:02Guys.
11:03Do you have the money?
11:04Yeah.
11:06No freaking way.
11:07No freaking way.
11:08Let's go do this.
11:09Hey, drop the money.
11:10Oh boy.
11:11Outdoor observation.
11:12Table rock center.
11:13Wow.
11:14What a view.
11:15It's a beautiful view.
11:26Oh, boy.
11:27Outdoor observation.
11:29Table rock center.
11:31Wow.
11:31What a view.
11:32Wow.
11:33Wow.
11:34Wow.
11:35Wow.
11:35Wow.
11:36Wow.
11:37Wow.
11:38Wow.
11:39Wow.
11:39Wow.
11:40Wow.
11:41It's just absolutely unbelievable.
11:43This race has begun.
11:45That move to get on the bus, everybody starts running.
11:48I'm telling you, that's not how you win the race.
11:51You 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.
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
12:13on the side of 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.
12:18OK, I can't fall, right?
12:22Step over?
12:24OK.
12:25Ah!
12:28I can hear the falls rumbling behind me.
12:32I am absolutely terrified.
12:35She's losing her mind right now.
12:38Oh my god, OK.
12:40Well, here goes nothing.
12:42John's about to repel from about 200 feet up there.
12:46Woo-wee!
12:47Oh, that is cold already.
12:49Oh yeah, there it is.
12:51It's cold.
12:52Wow, this is very nerve-wracking.
12:53Oh my god.
12:54Set.
12:55Go.
12:56Pull, pull.
12:57Go, Taylor!
12:58Woo-hoo!
13:00There she is!
13:01Yes, Taylor!
13:02All right, bye, honey!
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!
13:29Yes!
13:29Woo-hoo!
13:31Woo!
13:33Yeah!
13:34I'm so proud of her.
13:36That was amazing!
13:39I just repelled 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 plate.
13:48Number one!
13:49Good job!
13:50I did it so fast!
13:52Come on, girlie!
13:53I'm not looking.
13:57Detour, game time or show time?
14:00Teams 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 about
14:25Niagara Falls to a group of tourists.
14:29They'll need to memorize these 77 words and perform with the
14:32corresponding props to receive their next clue.
14:37We're going to go to show time.
14:39Okay, let's go.
14:40Let's go.
14:41There's only four repel lines, so any team after that is going
14:44to have to wait.
14:45I'm 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 heck?
14:54Oh, my God.
14:57Oh, yeah, speed up a little bit.
14:58I'm going to get the angle there.
15:00Now the thing until I get down.
15:02Kevin, you better buy me a really nice ring.
15:04Okay, I got my clue.
15:06There you go, son!
15:07Good job!
15:09I'm soaked.
15:12I can't even imagine what's going through his head right now.
15:15Yes, get that clue!
15:17Yes!
15:19Yes!
15:20She got it.
15:21I 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.
15:29Game time.
15:30Okay, let's do it.
15:31What game are we going to play?
15:32The basketball one?
15:33I 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.
15:40How are you feeling?
15:41I'm tired.
15:42This is just your legs, though.
15:43Yes.
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.
16:10I know he's pretty.
16:12I've seen a few racers come down now
16:14and I'm getting a little nervous here.
16:16Let's go.
16:17Just for a bit.
16:18There you go.
16:19It is insane to be this close to the falls.
16:22She is moving like the wolves.
16:25Come on.
16:26She just got the clue.
16:27Drib, drib, drib, drib.
16:28Yes!
16:29Let's go!
16:30That was epic.
16:33Grapple, baby.
16:36The one thing about Tyson,
16:37we go to $1,000 per lap.
16:39Hey, slow it down, man.
16:42Hey.
16:43Let's go.
16:44Let's go, baby.
16:45Let's go.
16:46Let's go.
16:47Let's go.
16:48The money that we dropped early on,
16:50keep your eyes peeled.
16:51They'll come in anywhere.
16:52Every time we have to run,
16:54it reminds me that we have no money.
16:57We lost our money right at the beginning.
16:59We got to get back to the starting point
17:01to find our money ASAP,
17:02or we're screwed for this rest of the leg.
17:04I don't know.
17:05I don't know.
17:06I don't know.
17:08I'm so screwed for this rest of the leg.
17:10This sucks.
17:11Oh, God!
17:13But I will not get frustrated.
17:16Just frustration helps nobody in life.
17:21I've been challenged my entire life
17:23to face stuff that isn't made for the average little person,
17:26so I just have to keep feeding myself slack.
17:28Go, Jon!
17:29I'm not gonna let Connor down,
17:31and I'm definitely not gonna let myself down.
17:34Yeah, Jon, get in there.
17:37Blue, let's go, B.
17:38Woo!
17:39Let's go!
17:40Yeah!
17:41Let's do it.
17:42Ah!
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.
18:04Come on, Taylor.
18:05OK, we chose showtime.
18:06We chose showtime.
18:07Yes.
18:08Woo!
18:11You must use the props as directed on the script.
18:13Welcome to Clifton Hill, otherwise
18:15known as Street of Fun.
18:17We have to memorize a script that talks about bizarre facts
18:21about Niagara Falls.
18:22All of that force can reduce 4 million
18:24kilowatts of electricity.
18:26The light bulb represents the generating
18:28of electrical power, which is what the falls do.
18:32She went over the falls in a barrel and survived
18:35with a cat.
18:36Meow!
18:37French acrobat Charles Blondin crossed
18:39the falls on a tightrope.
18:40Charles stopped with a stove on his back, cooked an omelet,
18:43and lowered it down to the passengers
18:45of the Maid of the Mist.
18:51My legs hurt.
18:53We're almost there.
18:54Do you know we're almost there, baby?
18:55I can do this.
19:02Eva and Tristan are behind us at the moment, but.
19:05What?
19:05What place are you?
19:06Oh, we're 10th.
19:07OK, so we're last.
19:08Oh, no.
19:09No, we're not.
19:09Oh, no, we're not?
19:10Jeez.
19:11My legs.
19:12OK, 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.
19:19Cute Lou is secured.
19:20Let's just get down this thing.
19:22Yeah!
19:23That's my girl!
19:25Game time.
19:26We're going game time.
19:26OK, let's go.
19:27I don't know where that is.
19:28We got to find out.
19:29Is that number you and I had your first date?
19:31No.
19:31Skyline 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.
19:44OK, fair enough.
19:46This is it, Great Canadian Midway Arcade.
19:48It's 1,000%.
19:49Sticker, sticker, sticker.
19:52Oh!
19:52Oh, yes!
19:54We got to get 400 tickets.
19:55400 tickets.
19:56He's been training for this moment since he was a kid,
19:57so my 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, a massive in the poker world.
20:20I can think through games at a high level.
20:23I got a really good strategy, Trevor.
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.
20:35You got it so good.
20:37Oh, we got 25.
20:38Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
20:39We're doing this, we'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?
20:47Tap, tap.
20:49Julie and Olivia try to use the machine beside me,
20:52but obviously I took all the balls.
20:54That one, that one didn't work.
20:55I 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.
21:00It's so good.
21:03We got to find a game.
21:04Feeling confident?
21:05We feel like we can get this, 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.
21:15Woo!
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, that's incorrect.
21:37OK.
21:38There'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.
21:43You got this, Colin.
21:44Yeah, there it is.
21:45There it is.
21:46Woo-hoo!
21:46That was unreal.
21:47That was insane.
21:49Well done.
21:50Well done.
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.
22:02Here you go.
22:02Got 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!
22:20Lean 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'd 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.
22:54All right.
22:55We got no luck.
22:55Now 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
23:14to his back, where he fried omelets for the passengers.
23:18I'm so sorry, you didn't get it.
23:20Oh, my god.
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 slowly losing that lead
23:29that 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.
23:51Are you doing well?
23:51No.
23:52I suck.
23:53God, I suck.
23:54Come on, no 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. It's done. We're good.
24:06We're good.
24:0715 more tickets, and then hopefully, oh, my god.
24:09They're checking already?
24:10Yeah.
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.
24:22Nightmare's Fear Factory.
24:23One team will win the assist by Dejardin
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 Fear Factory.
24:32Do you want to stop and ask for directions?
24:33Yeah.
24:34Can 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.
24:44OK, we're going to try it once.
24:45If you 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 did
24:51here on October 24, 1901?
24:53She 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.
25:05We'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 served it to his passengers
25:12on the Maid of the Mist.
25:15Congratulations.
25:16Congratulations.
25:17They just finished.
25:18It looks like they're on to their next one.
25:20Let's go.
25:21Beautiful.
25:22Beautiful.
25:22Beautiful.
25:24Nightmare's Fear Factory in search for your clue inside.
25:27Here, let's find a worker.
25:28Let's ask right here.
25:29Where's the Fear Factory?
25:30Excuse me.
25:31Do you know where the Nightmare's Fear Factory is?
25:33Right turn, you live on a block on the left-hand side.
25:36Come on, baby.
25:37Let's go.
25:40OK.
25:40So right.
25:41OK.
25:42Let's go, ladies.
25:43Oh, 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.
25:54What are we doing?
25:55Whoa.
25:57OK.
25:57I see a few things here.
26:00So I think we're, like, finally catching up.
26:02Boo.
26:03Ah.
26:05Nightmare's Fear Factory.
26:07What'd he say again?
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.
26:22Ah.
26:24Once teams find the Nightmare's Fear 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
26:36unique 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
26:51will find hidden in their clue.
26:53Tonight, The Assist by Desjardins
26:55will give them a little extra help as 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.
27:05Come on, OK?
27:06Good luck.
27:07Hey.
27:08Baby, I don't like this.
27:10Ah, OK.
27:11OK.
27:13Come this way.
27:14Come, baby.
27:15Oh, don't leave me, baby.
27:16Please don't leave me.
27:17Baby, where are we going?
27:21Baby, it was all fake.
27:22Memorize these colors.
27:26So great.
27:29It's going to jump out, baby.
27:30Nope.
27:32Oh, my god.
27:33Jeez.
27:34It's 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.
27:57Thank you.
27:58Thank you.
27:59OK, I think we have enough.
28:00Hey, no, no.
28:01Come here.
28:02Come here.
28:03Congratulations.
28:03Thank you very much.
28:04You're welcome.
28:05Thank you so much.
28:06Let's go, baby.
28:07Let's go, baby.
28:07Yes.
28:08Awesome.
28:09Let's go.
28:10Congratulations.
28:11100% that we have enough tickets.
28:13Let's check.
28:13Hey.
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?
28:23I'm looking for one.
28:23Let's go.
28:24Sammy, I love you.
28:25I love you.
28:26Focus on us.
28:27Focus on us.
28:27Come on, John.
28:28I know, man.
28:29I'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?
28:41I think we can do it.
28:41We can do this one?
28:42How do you feel?
28:43Yeah.
28:43This area was the very first.
28:45Is it area?
28:47I went to an art school, but I majored in dance, not acting.
28:52OK.
28:53I 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 lines.
28:58I've always been a pretty good public speaker,
29:00and I'm an English teacher.
29:01So I teach my kids how to public speak.
29:03Welcome to Clifton Hill, otherwise
29:05known as the Street of Fun.
29:09During his crossing, Charles stopped
29:10with a stove on his back, cooked an omelet.
29:13During one of his crossings, Charles
29:15stopped with a stove on his back, cooked an omelet,
29:18and lowered it down to the passengers
29:19on the Maid of the Mist.
29:22Congratulations.
29:23Yeah, bro.
29:24Let's go.
29:24Let's go.
29:26I think they just got it.
29:27Nightmare Sphere Factor, here we come.
29:29A French acrobat, Charles Blondin,
29:34tightrope 300 times crossed the falls.
29:38During these crossings, he also strapped a stove to his back
29:41and fried omelets.
29:42I'm so sorry.
29:43You didn't get it.
29:44Holy Hannah.
29:46OK.
29:46Holy Hannah.
29:47Crossed 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?
29:56Oh.
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. Come on.
30:14Come 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.
30:31The boys are still here.
30:33Basketball.
30:33Yes, yes.
30:34Perfect.
30:35This is our game right here.
30:36Tyson is, like, going above and beyond, killing the clowns.
30:41Yay!
30:44Nightmares, fear, factory.
30:45Let's go.
30:47Just saw the boys left.
30:48Ugh.
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 omelette and gave it to everyone
31:01on the Maid of the Mist.
31:02Cross the falls on a tightrope 300 times.
31:04I don't know what we're missing, man.
31:06And I need to say cooked an omelette.
31:08Oh, I keep saying fried an omelette.
31:10Don't I?
31:10Yeah, you do.
31:11Cooked an omelette.
31:12Yeah.
31:12It's me.
31:13Yeah.
31:13OK, let's go.
31:15We're back again.
31:17Wait, Nightmares.
31:19The girls are still there?
31:20Yeah.
31:21Charles also did this with a stove strapped to his back
31:24and cooked an omelette for the passengers down below.
31:30Congratulations, you guys.
31:34Make your way to Nightmares, fear, factory.
31:38Boo.
31:38Ah.
31:39A ghost.
31:46Oh, God.
31:47This is how it ends.
31:52Green, blue, green, red, purple.
31:53OK, keep that to yourself so it doesn't bother me.
31:57Well, don't breathe in my ear either.
32:00I'm pretty sure Nightmares is up here.
32:03Come on, John.
32:04It's right here.
32:05Root info.
32:06Analysis.
32:07But they ensured that.
32:09This means you don't have to memorize the color
32:10combination.
32:10You guys are good to go.
32:11We just have to haunt.
32:13Oh, yeah.
32:14Oh.
32:15Whoa, he grabbed my ear.
32:18Now that is a good photo.
32:19The Illumination Tower.
32:20Yeah, we have a lot of money left.
32:21We could use a taxi at some point.
32:24If we see one, we'll grab it.
32:28We're number one.
32:28I think we're number one.
32:29Yeah, we can smell.
32:30We know we are.
32:31It's right there.
32:32This is the tower.
32:33Let's light it up.
32:36Hi.
32:36Hi, sir.
32:38Blue, purple, green, blue, red.
32:44Green, red, purple, blue, purple.
32:51Congratulations.
32:51Yeah.
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.
33:13Once 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.
33:31Run.
33:32Let's go.
33:32Go, go, go.
33:33Cow driver, there's a cow coming out.
33:35Where is it?
33:35Go, go.
33:36Yeah.
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.
33:41Go, go, go.
33:42Johnny, wait for us.
33:43Ginger legend.
33:45Red, purple, blue, red, green.
33:50Purple, red, blue, green, purple.
33:53I think we might have to go back.
33:57I really hope not.
33:59Oh, there's a thing there.
34:00Did 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.
34:12Thank you.
34:13Double trouble.
34:15OK.
34:16Do you know where the Niagara Park's power station is?
34:18On the right side.
34:19Big building.
34:20On the right?
34:21Are we close?
34:22Yeah.
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 till we get it.
34:47Red, green.
34:49Purple, blue, red, green, purple.
34:55Congratulations.
34:56Yeah!
34:56Oh, 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.
35:10We're going to the tunnel at the Niagara Park's 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.
35:33Remember 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.
35:53Come on.
35:54We're almost there.
36:00Look at this.
36:00Wow.
36:02Welcome to Niagara Falls, Ontario.
36:04Thank you.
36:04Thank you.
36:05Kevin and Gerleen, 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.
36:20I believe you.
36:211901.
36:22Kevin and Gerleen, you're 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.
36:37Gerleen and I work every hour of every single day.
36:40So to get this time with each other
36:41on a trip where you come from?
36:43Yeah.
36:44This is beautiful.
36:45So sweet.
36:45Because Expedia wants to make this a dream trip
36:48that you will never forget, they're giving you $10,000.
36:53Oh, my goodness.
36:54Really?
36:54That's crazy.
36:55I love you.
36:56Lauren and Nicole, how far down does the elevator descend?
37:01180 feet.
37:02In unison, your team is number one.
37:06Your team, number two.
37:08Feels good, you know, where there's two of us,
37:09so we have to come in second.
37:12And Charles cooked an omelette and gave to everyone
37:15in the made of the myth.
37:17Unbelievable.
37:18Congratulations, you guys.
37:23Good job, Eva.
37:23Good job.
37:24Good job.
37:24Good aim.
37:25Nice.
37:26Yeah, this one gets you tickets.
37:29Nightmare's Fear Factory.
37:33Why 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.
37:45I missed all the action.
37:46You didn't see it changing colors.
37:49Green.
37:50Blue.
37:51Oh, yeah.
37:53There we go, baby.
37:55Ready 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.
38:04Red to finish it off.
38:06Come on, John.
38:07There's literally a knapsack the size of me on me.
38:11Not 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.
38:27That 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.
38:36Yeah.
38:37Oh, no.
38:40We 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.
39:01Yeah.
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.
39:21Quickly, 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 Skylark Tower.
39:35My stomach drops, because at this point,
39:38we 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, like, 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
40:19on this tunnel begin?
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.
40:37Yay!
40:39Is 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.
40:54Appreciate 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, let's 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 stay alive.
41:25Blue, green.
41:29Yes!
41:30Congratulations.
41:31Thank you so much.
41:33Look at where they are.
41:34They'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.
41:40It'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, keep coming.
41:51Teams are passing us.
41:53Man.
41:54Oh, 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 down
42:11does 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 this.
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.
42:37We'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 on this tunnel
42:51begin?
42:521901.
42:53And y'all are correct.
42:55Yes!
42:56Let's go.
42:57We did it.
42:58This might have been in 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 tries, 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.
43:18If we go back, we get it wrong.
43:20We got to travel back.
43:21Do it one more time, get the notes down packed,
43:23and then come back.
43:24Let's go.
43:24The elevator's here.
43:25Hopefully we're not last.
43:26Hopefully we're not last.
43:27I hope we're not last.
43:29I see like a tunnel sign.
43:31Finally.
43:33We can hear another team's coming,
43:34so it's important that we do this right
43:36and really pay attention.
43:38We're going to reach our tunnel, which will lead you out
43:40to a 65-foot platform.
43:43We're going.
43:44We're going.
43:44We're going.
43:45We're going.
43:45We're going.
43:46We're going.
43:47We're going.
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!
44:18Taylor and Katie, you're team number eight.
44:19Good job, Taylor.
44:20I'm so proud of you.
44:21I'm sorry.
44:21I love you.
44:22Mwah!
44:24Michael and Tyson, let's try that again.
44:27When was construction on the tunnel completed?
44:311904.
44:32Correct.
44:33Oh, my god.
44:35You're team number nine.
44:37Just 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.
44:45I can't run there.
44:47Enjoy the view.
44:47Thank you.
44:49This is crazy.
44:50I hear them.
44:51My legs.
44:53My 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?
45:11We're going to New York!
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 10th place.
45:23Eva, Tristan, you are the last team to arrive.
45:28I am sorry to tell you this, but you have
45:30been eliminated from the race.
45:32Wow.
45:33God.
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
45:39with one of your besties, Eva?
45:40I wouldn't have done this with anybody else.
45:42I would have gone to the best friend
45:44that anybody could ask for.
45:46At the end of the day, we're still
45:47strong within our sisterhood.
45:49That's all that matters to me.
45:51That girl magic out.
45:53Next time on the Amazing Race Canada.
45:55I asked you if you're sure.
45:56A storm is brewing on BC's Sunshine Coast.
45:59Is it farther?
46:00I don't know.
46:02Just an absolute beauty.
46:04At the roadblock, Michael and Tyson horse around.
46:08If this isn't it, then I don't know what is.
46:11Two kids after this.
46:12And the race reaches a fever pitch for Julia and Olivia.
46:15No!
