From a media release:
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.â€

- HOLLY and BRETT – Married Doctors
- JET and DAVE – Best Friends
- JODY and CORY – Brothers

To date, Maslany has wowed audiences by portraying seven distinct clones in ORPHAN BLACK, including streetwise hustler Sarah Manning, Detective Beth Childs, German Katja Obinger, soccer mom Alison Hendrix, PHD student Cosima Niehaus, the unpredictable Helena, and the mysterious pro-clone Rachel Duncan.

A Regina-born actor now living in Toronto, Tatiana Maslany is a rising star who has been acting for over 15 years in film, television, theatre, and radio. She has amassed an incredibly impressive resume with leading roles in many features including The Vow and Kate Melville’s buzzed about film Picture Day, for which she received a 2013 ACTRA Award. Her role in Grown Up Movie Star, opposite Shawn Doyle, competed at Sundance 2010 and garnered her the special jury prize for Breakout Star at the festival, as well as a Genie nomination.
Her recent feature credits also include Cas & Dylan, Blood Pressure, Entitled, and Violet And Daisy which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival® (TIFF) 2011. Some of Maslany’s television credits include THE TANDEM, WORLD WITHOUT END, her Gemini-nominated performance in NATIVITY and CERTAIN PREY, as well as Gemini award-winning performances on BLOODLETTING AND MIRACULOUS CURES, and CTV’s FLASHPOINT.
ORPHAN BLACK centres on English punk and streetwise hustler Sarah who returns home after being separated from her daughter. But her homecoming isn’t exactly what she expected. After witnessing the suicide of a woman who looks just like her, Sarah takes over Beth’s life, including her job as a cop as well as her boyfriend Paul (Dylan Bruce, NCIS). Sarah soon discovers that she and Beth are clones, and as she becomes embroiled in the mystery, she learns that there are more of them out there – all genetically identical individuals nurtured in completely different circumstances. Working with her fellow ‘orphans,’ soccer mom Alison and PHD student Cosima, Sarah begins to unravel the mystery surrounding their identities, while also fighting for her life when an assassin begins killing the clones one by one.
