Four teams remain on The Amazing Race Canada

Amazing
From a media release:

Harpooned in Iqaluit, Nunavut: Married Doctors from Montreal are the Fifth Team Eliminated from CTV’s THE AMAZING RACE CANADA

At the conclusion of last night’s episode of CTV’s THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, it was revealed that Brett and Holly, married doctors from Montreal, were the fifth team eliminated from the competition series. The harsh tundra of Iqaluit, Nunavut pushed the couple to their limit when the “igloo challenge” turned out to be much more physical than anticipated. Inevitably, it was their decision to switch to the “harpoon hunter challenge” -where it took Holly 28 throws to hit the target – that resulted in their elimination.

“It was nice to see that even in the most gruelling of days we still held it together, supported each other, and didn’t fall apart,” said Holly about their experience on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA.

Next week on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA (airing Monday, Sept. 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and live on CTV Mobile), the remaining four teams race out of Nunavut and into Nova Scotia, but Vanessa and Celina have a hard time getting “in gear.” Then, Dave loses patience with Jet at a scary Roadblock and the stakes are raised at the second U-Turn of the Race. The remaining competitors vying for the historic half a million dollar grand prize are:

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

Deconstructing Allan Hawco

From Tim Bousquet of The Coast:

Deconstructing Doyle: Allan Hawco talks about acting, women, reporters and Newfoundland winters.
Jake and a baby. But the whole episode started with that premise, right? It started with that, and it’s funny how things evolve. But the writing for me is—I love it. I love the idea of having a back story as an actor. We do a lot of research as actors, and we go back there and build back stories, but I have all of the knowledge, so when I step on stage and I hit my mark, I know everything about Jake.

‘Canadian Pickers’ change addresses
Fans of Canadian Pickers have seen Scott Cozens and Sheldon Smithens seeking out hidden treasures in the attics, basements, garages, sheds — and even boats — of collectors across the country that they can in turn re-sell for profit to their clients. The duo went to new heights and distances for Season 4, jetting across the pond to England for a pick 15 years in the making. Continue reading.
