A Rough Ride in Regina Sends “BodyBreak” Fitness Icons from Oakville, ON, Packing on CTV’s THE AMAZING RACE CANADA

At the conclusion of tonight’s episode of CTV’s THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, it was revealed that Hal and Joanne, married fitness icons from Oakville, ON, were the fourth team eliminated from the competition series. The “BodyBreak” couple had a rough go in Regina, after taking a two-hour penalty at the lentil challenge, before being U-Turned by the Tims. Following the “brawn” and “beauty” challenges in the heart of Rider Nation, Hal and Joanne were the last team to the mat, resulting in their elimination.

When asked about their elimination, Joanne said, “I think we got U-Turned after Hal got the tickets to Edmonton. Tim Sr. is really the decision maker in that process, and I think that he’s probably just intimidated. He just didn’t feel that he can compete with us.”

Next week on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA (airing Monday, Aug. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and live on CTV Mobile), the remaining five teams race to Quebec City, where the Sisters get lost en route. Language skills are lacking, leaving some teams tongue-tied and twisted, and at the Roadblock, Vanessa gets crushed by crepes. Meanwhile, at the Detour, the Sisters’ choice could prove costly. The remaining competitors vying for the historic half a million dollar grand prize are:

HOLLY and BRETT – Married Doctors
JET and DAVE – Best Friends
JODY and CORY – Brothers
TIM SR. and TIM JR. – Father and Son
VANESSA and CELINA – Sisters

The Adventure Ends for Dating Couple from British Columbia on CTV’s THE AMAZING RACE CANADA

At the conclusion of tonight’s episode of CTV’s THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, it was revealed that Kristen and Darren, the dating couple from Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, were the third team eliminated from the competition series. After falling behind in the first challenge, the outdoor enthusiasts were forced to take the last flight to Carcross, Yukon, which left them struggling to catch up with the other teams. In the end, it was Kristen and Darren’s decision to perform the “supply run” detour instead of using their express pass which resulted in their last place finish to the mat.

When asked why they didn’t use the express pass, Kristen said, “Handing in an express pass without really trying a challenge is kind of like copping out. Why not give it a shot, why not try, why not experience what that challenge has to offer instead of taking off? It doesn’t seem like a good choice because; I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just want to experience everything you can.”

Next week on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA (airing Monday, Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and live on CTV Mobile, the teams head to Regina, SK, where they get buried by lentils, then drilled by the RCMP. And the first double U-Turn of the Race sends the teams into a panic. The remaining competitors vying for the historic half a million dollar grand prize are:

  • HOLLY and BRETT – Married Doctors
  • JET and DAVE – Best Friends
  • JODY and CORY – Brothers
  • TIM SR. and TIM JR. – Father and Son
  • VANESSA and CELINA – Sisters
