End of the “Road-eo”: Cowboys from Alberta Eliminated 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 best friends Jamie and Pierre, a pair of gay cowboys from Alberta, were the second team eliminated from the competition series. After missing the first two flights to Vancouver, the cowboys were in catch-up mode from the get go. In Vancouver, the best friends struggled with the “draw it” detour, before deciding to switch to the “dance it” challenge at the last minute. In the end, the setbacks were too much to overcome, resulting in their last place finish to the mat.
