The Amazing Race Canada (2013–…): Season 7, Episode 6 - I'm a Little Muskrat on a Mission - full transcript
The race leads to Saskatoon, where some teams find themselves stuck and others dance around the problem.
Previously, on
The Amazing Race Canada...
This is incredible!
...seven teams headed south
to Nanaimo, British Columbia...
I want
to live over here.
...where the competition
between racers
reached new heights.
At the clam-digging challenge,
Dave and Irina took
another strategic penalty...
It worked last time
and we finished third.
Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
...inspiring the rest of
the teams to work together
to sink the strongest
team in the race.
Let's beat 'em!
Oh my god,
let's get them out!
Everyone work fast!
They want
to eliminate us.
It's war time.
This just got juicy!
But when the tides turned,
their alliance was swept away,
and led three more teams
to take penalties,
one after the other...
We're taking
a two-hour penalty.
...after the other...
We're gonna
take a penalty.
...after the other...
We're gonna
take a penalty.
...allowing
Sarah and Sam
to finally sprint to
the top of the podium...
Guys, we're
gonna come help you.
They're not
going home today.
...while Aarthy and Thinesh
joined forces
with Anthony and James,
to leave Meaghan and Marie
wondering what hit them.
You've been
eliminated from the race.
Now six teams remain,
as they race to win
the all-new 2019
Chevrolet Blazer RS,
a once-in-a-lifetime
trip for two around the world,
a quarter of a million
dollars cash
and the Amazing Race Canada.
On the east coast
of Vancouver Island
dotted with ruggedly
beautiful beaches,
this is Nanaimo,
British Columbia.
Today this charming harbour city
will act as the sixth
starting point as six teams
fight to stay in the race.
- Starting in first place!
- Yeah, let's go!
Sarah and Sam won
the last leg of the race,
and will depart
first at 6:18 a.m.
SARAH & SAM: Brave.
- Let's go, let's go!
Route info.
Fly to Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
Teams will now race
from the Pacific coast
to the prairie province
of Saskatchewan.
Surrounded by golden fields,
it's split by
the South Saskatchewan River.
It's the Paris
of the Prairies.
- Go!
- Let's go!
Today Sam and I have
decided our word of the day
is gonna be "brave."
We've been fighting
this whole race.
It's gonna take a lot of
bravery to be confident,
as we lead this pack
and hopefully stay up front.
Goin' to Saskatoon!
Woo!
Fly to Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
- Saskatchewan!
- Aah!
Keep running,
keep running.
Aarthy and Thinesh
are right behind us,
and we tied the last leg.
There's definitely tension
among the racers now.
There is tension.
We think something
happened at the last Roadblock
with Dave and Irina that really
did a number on the other team.
We're off to...
Saskatoon!
After the
last leg of the race,
there's a little bit of tension
around with Dave and Irina.
Are you kidding me?
How can you live with yourself?
You're such a cheater.
- What do you...?
You went
over to my board.
Hide your stuff.
Dave can't play
the game how he wants.
I will be cordial, but we're
not gonna bend over backwards.
First,
by the end of this leg.
We're feeling right now
that the other teams
are ganging up against us.
They're afraid of us,
and they want to eliminate us.
It didn't work,
so that just proves
how good we are, right?
Fly to
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!
- We're going home!
- Ah!
I can't wait for
flat ground, man.
Oh my god!
Dave and Irina are
an incredibly strong team.
They know
how to play this game,
so they would be
definitely awesome to beat.
Especially
in our home province.
Saskatoon is
the city that shines.
They were
already two hours.
It wasn't worth it
to spend...
How is everyone?
Good morning.
Hey, just a quick word, guys.
In the last leg,
we feel like everybody
was working together
to eliminate us,
and it really
didn't feel good.
We weren't
working with anybody.
We offered to be like,
"Do you have a clam?"
"We have a clam."
But we weren't digging together.
Being all together
against one team,
that's not fair.
I'm gonna
tell you the truth
about what happened yesterday.
- Tell me.
There was a moment
where you guys took a penalty,
everyone was like, "We could
get them out right now."
You admit it?
Oh my god,
let's get 'em out!
Everyone work fast.
For sure, for sure.
You admit it!
Because you guys
are a strong team.
That doesn't mean
we don't like you.
You're talking
about being fair.
At the caves,
you went to my board,
you copied my answer,
and then you wiped it off.
You're not gonna own that?
- I wiped it off, 100%.
And you wrote
down the answer.
- Yeah.
- Oh...
Wow!
Is that fair?
Playing fair
is one against one.
I'm sorry,
I love you guys,
but you're playing victim.
- Are you serious?!
Six on one is not okay,
honey, okay?
That's disrespectful!
That's disrespectful!
No, that's not disrespectful.
Wow.
I'm done
talking to you, Irina.
You're a sore loser
who can't handle the fact
that you were last!
Stop talking!
Everyone got super
defensive, but you know,
when you get defensive,
it's because it's true.
Aarthy and I,
I like Aarthy.
She's feisty.
I like that.
Yeah, I respect that.
Listen, I'm sorry.
This is a race.
It all--
we're all emotional here.
We're all pushing
our own limits.
I'm sorry, like, it's not--
it's nothing personal.
- Just give her a hug.
- Let's hug it out.
Who wants a shot
of vodka right now?
Thinesh and I
always help people,
so yes, I accept
your apology,
but no, Irina,
like, you mocked me.
It's just not cool.
Like, I'll forgive you,
but I'm not gonna forget.
Again.
One more.
Okay, let's go.
All teams are now flying
more than 1,200 kilometres
from British Columbia,
via Calgary,
to Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
When they land,
they'll search for Canada's
brightest light.
- Amy, run!
- Taxi!
University
of Saskatchewan.
Sir, we need you to go fast.
- Go, sir!
Brightest
light in Canada.
It's here,
at the Canadian Light Source,
that researchers
from around the world
study the science of
health, agriculture,
and the environment.
This football-field-sized
technological instrument,
the only one of its kind
in the country,
contains a sycrotron
that shines a light
a million times brighter
than that of the sun.
It's here teams will
find their next clue.
Awesome.
I definitely would love
to like nerd out there.
Canada's
brightest light.
- Canada lights.
- This is so big.
- Brightest light in Canada.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Alright.
- This is so awesome.
- This is so cool.
This is pretty awesome.
Oh my god,
we're in the future.
Route info.
It's curtains for you.
Teams will now make their
way southwest of the city,
and search for one of Nutrien's
potash mining operations.
Potash is one of
Saskatchewan's major exports,
and a natural earth fertiliZer
that allows people
around the world
to grow food
and feed our
families every day.
After teams suit up
in full mining gear,
they'll travel one kilometre
below the earth's surface,
where they'll have to hang
this plastic ventilation curtain
in a straight line,
to ensure proper airflow
for the safety of the miners.
Using a traditional spad gun,
they'll nail the curtain
tightly to the rock ceiling,
and make sure there are no gaps
for air to escape.
Then they'll need
to pile loose potash
on the bottom
of the curtain to guarantee
there is a tight seal.
Once the curtain is
up and secure,
and the air is flowing
in the right direction,
Larry the mine supervisor
will give them their next clue.
We're going
to a potash mine.
Potash is kind of like
the heart of this province.
If we finish first
at this challenge,
we can get back
on the lead.
I want to finish
on first try.
Follow this cab.
Follow this cab.
It's so annoying
when the cab doesn't know
where they're going.
- How far away is it?
- 60 kilometres from here.
- 60?
- Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Potash mine.
How far do you think that is?
It's like
10 kilometres out.
Oh my god, I'm so glad
we have an experienced driver.
Yeah.
That's
where we're going.
First team!
We are not
in last right now.
Ah-ha!
Feels good, for once.
What is that smell?
That's the potash.
That's where all our
fresh air goes down.
I'm feeling
pretty nervous.
It's just scary.
I'm also kind of
excited to see this.
I feel this is a privilege.
Ooh, that chloride.
We're Saskatchewan girls.
Are we going down
that elevator thing?
- Yup.
- Oh my god!
Ahh...
- Oh my goodness.
We have to go
a thousand metres below ground.
We're like going to the
middle of the earth right now.
This isn't
your average elevator.
I feel like
I'm on the moon.
We have to
ride in these cars.
Whoa-oa-oa!
Oh my goodness.
It feels like
we're in another universe.
Let's go punch
holes in the roof, bud.
Go punch holes!
If we can get this done
right the first time,
that's what we want.
We're putting up
a ventilation curtain,
which helps to keep
some of the salt
from this conveyor belt
away from the cleaner air.
As long as it's straight in
front of it, with an overlap.
It's a special
technique of how you
have to hold the plastic.
You have to make sure
that you're anchoring it
at a proper distance,
weight it at the bottom.
Sweet.
I just had to do
this in our house
because we're renovating
our formal living room.
We're going deep.
I'm from Northern
Ontario, Sudbury, mining town.
My dad, stepfather, all my
uncles are all hard rock miners.
Make my family proud
and get outta here fast.
Wow.
I don't understand
what's happening.
That's so crazy.
We're hoping some of
the people will really struggle
because like a lot of them
are city folk;
they don't like to get dirty.
I hate the outfits.
They're very... not
figure-flattering.
Our system is Dave
does all the work,
and I give him the
small tools, and complain.
That's our system in life.
Just lift it up.
Three feet should be here.
Ahh, great.
- Perfect.
- Hold on.
- Stick this in.
Okay.
Now you got it?
This is not easy
when you're short.
Let's rock, 'cause
teams are down here now.
Okay, lemme get it
to the top.
Don't touch it.
It has to overlap.
Okay, let's bury it.
Check!
I feel
the prairie pride,
even a kilometre
underneath the ground.
Sorry, team,
that's not correct.
Ahh!
- Joey?
- Yeah?
It's not tight there.
1, 2, 3.
We just gotta
shovel salt on top.
Good job.
- Hurry.
We actually have to
do this to the bottom
so that air
doesn't get into them.
Check.
Great job.
Here's your next clue.
- Thank you so much.
- Congratulations.
Route info.
Teams must now head to
the local Shell station where...
they'll receive a very
special clue from home.
Woo!
We're number one!
- Ahh!
I kind of feel
like I'm on Mars.
I feel like
a foreign environment.
Yeah!
I can't believe
we're a kilometre below.
I never even would
have thought of this
as an option for something
to do in my life.
Should we take this one?
We want to keep it
really straight.
That's good.
Let's not break it.
Good job.
Good job.
Okay.
Help me roll this out.
Yeah.
I'm already sweating.
Oh, god.
It looks like you're
doing a lot of hard work there.
My title
is "nail handler."
Okay,
tell me if it's straight.
Okay.
No, forward more.
Yeah, that's straight, isn't it?
Luckily, my lovely
boyfriend is super smart,
and he'll get me through this.
God, I'm sweating.
- Another one.
- Washer.
Ah, okay,
now it's gonna stick.
Uh-oh.
I'm having a hard time here.
We're sweating
like grease monkeys.
It's a good day.
- Feel good?
- Good.
- Check, please.
- Great job.
You passed.
- Thank you so much!
Woo!
The buggy breeze!
The salty breeze!
Oh,
I see the Shell sign.
Oh, it's a message!
Oh, no way.
- Welcome to Shell.
- Thank you.
Hi, James and Anthony.
You know the ancestors
are with you.
You walk that good path.
We're so proud of you.
Oh my god!
Now, here's your clue.
Make your way
to Champetre County
Vacation Ranch,
and search outside
for your next clue.
Go all the way,
and have fun.
ANTHONY & JAMES: Thank you!
- That's so cool.
I wouldn't be here
without my family.
They accept me
for who I am.
They accept Anthony.
Our moms were our
flower girls for our wedding.
Not all queer people have
the support of their family.
Beyond accepting us,
they're proud of us.
To have support and love,
there's nothing
that can replace that.
Let's see if
we can get this up quicker
than all the other teams,
then get back to the top,
where we belong.
We belong on top,
not underground.
That's okay.
We can add an extra one later.
Okay, go.
Right here?
SARAH Yeah.
- Nice.
- Great job.
Check, please!
Great job.
Here's your next clue.
Thank you!
- Good job.
- Oh...
That was true teamwork.
Are they done?
Were they after us?
Yeah.
It's okay.
- Uh, Sarah and Sam.
- Sarah and Sam just left.
It's all good, my love.
Don't panic.
- Babe?
- Yeah?
That fold's not
like crinkled properly.
Don't pull everything off,
just that.
Hi, girls.
LAUREN & JOANNE: Oh!
Can't wait to see ya.
Hope you're having
the blast of your life.
We love you much.
Hope to see ya soon.
Bye-bye.
- See ya!
Aw.
Thank you.
Our mom is
a cancer survivor.
Our dad has had multiple
brain surgeries.
Both of us had to
grow up quickly,
which is why we're so close.
It's really
nice to see them
and know that they're there,
and they're doing okay.
Oh, I miss them so much.
- Hi, guys.
- My mommy!
I know you guys will
do your best, and good luck!
That definitely
puts me on like cloud nine.
My mom is my hero.
She made me into the man I am.
Mama, this is for you.
Oh my god,
that's gonna fall off.
Oh!
We're just not
getting the end of it.
Can I get one?
Gimme a thing, gimme the thing.
- Is it straight?
- Can you hold on one sec?
Sorry.
- Seriously?
Amy, this is really heavy.
- Come on, come on.
- You have to put sand
and then we fold it over.
- Yeah.
We have to do this.
Check!
Check, please.
- Great job.
- Yes!
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.
Fourth.
We're leaving fourth.
Yeah, we're
leaving fourth.
Go fast, fast, fast!
Oh my god, we're
the only teams left.
- Okay.
- Okay, it's tight.
Everybody's looking at us.
That's like not
intimidating at all.
Check, please.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
We've never been
the only team left,
so it's a little...
It's definitely...
- Everyone's gone?
- Everyone's gone, babe.
Oh my god,
I'm stressing.
I don't know.
I don't want to go home
with an Express Pass.
I'm getting a little stressed.
I know,
but you need to help, okay.
Are you
serious right now?
One of them fell out.
Argh!
I don't want to go home
with an Express Pass.
I don't want
to use the Express Pass
because you never know
if there's a challenge
ahead of you that's
kind of next to impossible.
Come on.
Can we get a check?
I'm a little scared.
Congratulations,
you did a great job.
Thank you.
Make your way to
the local Shell station.
Let's go.
I'm so happy we didn't
have to use this Express Pass.
This leg started
off with some drama.
I don't think people said
everything they had to say.
That was the low.
But we're not gonna
let anything weigh us down.
Yeah,
it's not worth it.
Yeah, this is it.
- Get the clue.
- Get the clue.
Detour.
Dance in a square
or walk in circles.
Everybody step to the
middle, and come right back.
Woo!
In this Detour, teams
will have a chance to call out
or search and scour
for their next clue.
It's their choice, dance in
a square or walk in a circle.
Dance in a Square
requires teams to find
the Howling Coyote Saloon.
One team member must memoriZe
a complicated list of
19 square dance moves,
and then step up to the mic
to call the dance
in time with the music...
Four ladies chain
straight across that ring.
...while the other racer
learns the intricate footwork
from the members of
the River City Squares.
Everybody in the middle
and make some noise!
- Woo!
- Yeah!
Once their dosey-do
is done right,
Caroline the square dance caller
will give them their next clue.
Walk in Circles will have teams
completely turned around,
as they search through the tight
walls of this barnboard maze.
And did I mention
it's massive?
Here, racers must find
and collect four different
types of cobs of corn
hidden in this complicated
barn board maze.
Once they find the only
way out of the maze,
they'll trade their new-found
corn for their next clue.
Let's just do the maze.
- Wanna do the maze?
- Yeah.
Which way
do you want to start?
Let's go this way.
Let's do
the perimeter first.
Okay, it's a dead end.
- Another dead end?
- Yeah, go back.
Okay.
For Walking in Circles,
we have to find
four different ears of corn
inside a 7,500
square-foot maze.
Go this way.
Dead end there.
That's a dead end.
Oh, there's corn here.
Okay.
Awesome!
The maze's complicated
passageways are really narrow.
So easy to get lost.
I don't know
which way we've gone.
We never went this way.
I don't think
it's gonna be that way.
Oh, it has to be this way.
What I love about
Saskatchewan is if you look down
the road, you can see
that nobody's behind us
for at least a couple
of kilometres.
- Maze?
- Maze.
- Maze.
- Who's in here?
Anthony and James
are in here somewhere.
We don't know where.
Dead end.
Dead end.
Go back.
So where you were.
This is really confusing
because all the path
looks the same,
so you don't know
if you're making circles,
which we probably are.
Back...
- This is a dead end too.
- Okay.
- Is that a dead end there?
- Dead end here.
- Here's the red.
- Oh, all red.
Here.
Awesome!
Okay.
No way.
I was born in Moldova,
and introducing Dave
to my family,
they all fell in love with him.
Every time we have an
argument, they're like,
"Well, Dave is right."
I'm like, "Come on."
- I am.
- "I'm your daughter!"
I love you, guys.
Okay.
Make your way
to the Howling Coyote Saloon
for your next clue.
It was really nice
to see your family.
It's a nice reminder
that our families
are out there rooting for us.
Can't wait to
give them a big hug.
- Surprise!
- Ahh!
Get out of there!
- Hey, babe.
I miss you very much.
- Oh my gosh.
Hope you're
enjoying every moment
of this incredible journey.
The kids are super,
super proud of you.
Really great
to see Bekim's face.
I miss the kids a lot, yeah.
I miss my whole family
like crazy, everybody.
- It's 500 metres.
- I think I see a flag.
Detour.
Dance in a square
or walk in circles.
We're gonna do
Walk in Circles.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's play smart.
Let's trace our path.
Exactly.
This way...
This way.
This is a legit maze.
So I'm trying to draw
the places we've gone.
I'm like really trying,
but I cannot guarantee.
Sam, do you think we've
gone down this section?
This map is like long gone now.
Uh...
Honestly, I don't know.
Hi, guys!
We miss you!
We're so proud of you both,
and we're sending so much love
from back home.
We love you!
KUMAR & UMADEVI: Good luck.
That message is just a
reminder of why we're doing it,
and why we're
gonna stay today.
We're not going home.
Is this
a different way to go?
- No.
- Right, okay.
This is the only way, right.
Right here.
Oh, awesome, the last one.
Okay.
Now we're just
trying to exit the maze.
Okay, so we're gonna go left.
LAUREN & JOANNE:
Very frustrating.
Found it!
I did.
Yup, two.
We got
two out of four.
It's not
made to be easy.
Yes!
Finally.
- Yeah.
- Persistence!
I think
we're almost to the end.
That's the way to go.
This is the way, here.
This is the lucky corn.
- That's a pass.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Route info.
Join the Saskatchewan
Rush lacrosse practice,
as you pass, catch,
and shoot on goal.
Oh no!
I haven't played
lacrosse before.
This way.
- Okay.
They're done.
Oh yes!
We're the first team
to leave that challenge.
Maybe let's
try the dance.
Okay,
let's try the dance.
Dance.
You're gonna
be the caller.
I'm gonna be the dancer.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Woo-hoo!
Four ladies
chain straight across.
Okay.
Now, roll her away,
circle to the left.
Can we practice?
Yeah?
Oh, there's a
kitty-kitty, poo-poo!
I get all dolled up
in my red outfit.
You're so hot, oh!
I fall in love
all over again.
Alright, guys!
Four ladies chain
straight across that ring.
You roll away
and circle to the left.
We go to see
the demonstration.
I have to memorize
at least 10-20 sentences.
When you meet your
partner, do a "do-si-do."
Like, it's not easy.
The dance is
super-complicated.
Switching detours could
cost us this leg of the race.
- No.
- Do a left allemande.
No.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
- Whoa!
- Babe, it's insane.
No...
No.
Let's go and find that corn.
Come.
I can't do this.
It's impossible.
It would take us two to
three hours to finish that,
if not more.
Let's go to the maze.
Right here.
Amy, Amy, Amy.
Detour!
Dance in a square
or walk in circles.
Alright, you
dance and I call.
Okay, let's go!
- You're a good dancer.
- Alright.
You're a good dancer.
Maze or dance.
It's gonna be a Detour.
Walk in circles?
- Sure.
We'll walk in circles.
Do you know what
we're looking for, babe?
That's the maze.
See, it's not that big.
- Okay.
- It's big,
but it's not that big.
Go!
Babe, you know
how to follow a maze.
Always right.
There's only one
way through this, right?
This can't be so bad.
Follow me.
I'm a little muskrat
on a mission.
Oh, sorry.
Is it hard?
It's like you
kind of get lost in here.
There's a corn here.
That's just luck.
When you meet your
partner, do a "do-si-do."
I need to be calling
out the instructions
to a square dancing song
as Amy dances
the actual steps.
Now roll her away.
Oh, did it--
oh, I get another partner.
- To the left.
- Right, left, right.
Left on that, right...
The hard part here is you have
to memoriZe this completely.
You're good.
I have a severe
hearing impairment,
so I can hear the voices,
but I cannot decipher the words,
so I have to learn
this dance by memory.
Turn here, da-da-da.
Okay, I think--
okay.
Ladies backtrack
and go the other way.
We're at
the front of the pack
headed to play lacrosse, and I
feel pretty confident about it.
It's an Indigenous sport.
Like, that's in our blood.
- Yeah!
- I see the flag.
Here, teams
will hit the field,
and join members of
the Saskatchewan Rush,
as they test their skills
playing Canada's
national summertime sport...
Lacrosse.
One racer must pass
the ball to their teammate,
who must catch it,
shoot it at this net,
and hit one of
these four targets.
Nice shot!
Once teams have
hit two targets,
Ryan from the Saskatchewan Rush
will give them their next clue.
Hey, guys.
We've never played
lacrosse before.
That's alright, we'll
give you a couple pointers.
Okay.
Scoop the ball up,
hands up like so.
Like that?
I've played hockey
and baseball before.
I feel like there's some
transferable skills
that can go on here.
I play like
left with hockey,
but right with like
writing and stuff.
- Just get in and try it.
- Okay, I'll just try it.
Augh!
Come on.
You can do this.
Do you want me to...?
He thinks I didn't play
sports, but I played sports.
Cheer is a sport.
- Well, you...
He did cheerleading.
- Oh, pfft!
- Do you want me to try?
- Sure.
- Okay.
- Oh, the light.
- Um...
This is a dead end,
I think.
Uh...
That's dead.
- Definitely dead?
- No, it's still going.
Right here.
Great.
We get all
the pieces of corn,
and now it's a mad scramble
to find the exit.
- Let's see.
- What can we do?
Okay.
- Yes, boom.
Sarah and Sam are here.
Okay, so we
need maybe one more.
- A yellow one, yeah.
- Yellow?
- Okay.
- Fully yellow.
Okay.
Yeah, how are you girls?
Definitely
getting a little stressed.
Oh, whoa!
Ahh!
Corn maze squish.
There's too many
people in this maze now!
- This one.
- Yeah.
Dead, dead, dead.
Can we go this way?
No.
Where is the exit?
We are completely lost
getting out of the maze.
1, 2, 3, go!
You got it.
One more.
Argh!
Yeah, woo!
Woo!
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Woo!
Woo!
Route info.
Make your way on foot
to the Remai Modern Art Museum,
and find Jon at
your next Pitstop.
Teams must now make
their way to the brand new
Remai Modern Art Gallery
overlooking
the South Saskatchewan River.
Today, this 130,000
square-foot
home of modern and contemporary
art will act as the Pitstop
for the sixth leg of the race.
The last team to check in here
may be eliminated.
Ahh!
Yes!
Look, Meewasin.
Ahh!
This is Meewasin Trail.
Meewasin ,
that means a good path,
and we're gonna go have
a good path footrace to see Jon,
and we're gonna be first!
Ahkamaeymok!
Jonny,
we're coming for you, buddy!
Can we do it again?
I'm sorry... okay.
Let's do it
one more time.
I'll do it,
and you're doing it with me.
CALLER & TRISH: Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
I'm hesitant to even
make a try because I know
I don't have it memorized.
If I don't have it memoriZed,
I can't make the calls.
Argh!
This is not right.
When you meet your partner,
do a "do-si-do."
If anyone would have
ever told me that I would be
on stage, I would have thought
they had lost their minds.
I battled weight my entire life,
and after my third kid,
I wasn't chasing any dreams,
so I decided to take
matters into my own hands.
I started to run.
Okay, great, I'll run 5, I'll
run 10, I'll do a half-marathon.
I lost over 200 pounds.
You can do anything you really
want to put your mind to.
When you're ready,
you'll do it.
One time in the middle...
That's a dead end.
Augh!
This is like a
needle in a haystack.
So this is a maze.
I actually hate mazes.
They look fun,
but they're not.
- We have to...
- Find the exit.
Find the exit, yeah.
Go, go, go, find.
We're gonna find it.
- Okay.
- We're getting closer.
I feel like this is new.
Definitely.
It's just over here.
Great job, Sarah.
- Good job!
- Clutch.
Congratulations.
SARAH & SAM: Thank you!
So we're gonna
head to Victoria Park
to find the lacrosse
practice field.
Next one.
Is there
a strategy, babe,
or are you just
walking around?
Oh, we got it.
Yes!
Oh, hello, sir.
Congratulations.
DAVE & IRINA: Thank you.
Find the Saskatchewan
Rush lacrosse practice.
Baby!
Babe, babe...
Babe, babe...
It's not the time, my love.
- Who's a good boy?
- Babe!
- Oh-ho-ho.
Babe,
you're wasting time.
Oh, I like him.
We arrived fourth,
now we leave third.
Wait,
I don't remember this.
No, never mind.
Dead end.
- Dead, dead, dead.
- Dead, dead.
Why can everyone
get out of this thing but us?
Dead end.
Another one.
Do you want to dance?
I feel like
it's so close.
Oh my god,
it isn't.
Ahh!
- Oh my god!
- Go back.
We just can't get out.
That's the only thing.
We have it, we just
can't find our way out.
Oh,
you guys are still here?
We can't get out.
You can find the corn,
but you can't get out.
Oh, this sucks so bad.
There's one-- oh!
Nice.
Alright.
We're making some ground
in Saskatchewan!
Dead, dead,
dead, dead, dead.
- Dead, dead!
- Go back.
- Oh my god!
- Oh!
We got there second,
and we could just not
get out of that maze.
I don't know, man.
This is confusing.
This is a maze of doom!
Jonny!
It's beautiful.
Look at that.
Come on.
The roof.
- Jonny!
- Woo!
Welcome
to the Remai Modern
in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Anthony and James,
you guys are
team number one!
Yes!
As the winners of
this leg of the race,
you guys have won a trip
for two to Costa Rica.
Alright!
- Turtles, woo!
- That's not all.
Our friends at Shell are gonna
keep your tanks topped up
for free for a whole year.
- Oh!
- What?
Keep your tanks
topped up, gentlemen.
Give me those!
- You earned it.
- Thanks, Shell!
First place is amazing.
First place feels
like I'm a queen,
and there's my crown.
Bing.
This is
an intense race,
but I think at the end of the
day it's about being proud
of who you are, and always
remembering to laugh.
Your family
is cheering for you.
Your country is
cheering for you.
See you at the next mat.
- Thank you.
Thanks, Jon.
I'm excited.
This is our thing.
I mean, I don't play lacrosse,
but I got coordination.
We're good.
- Uh, speak for yourself,
because I got cut from every
single team in grade 9.
Basketball,
volleyball, badminton,
and that's why I run
the hurdles, so...
Well, we're
gonna make this one.
- I'm gonna make it work.
- Yeah.
Okay.
It's been a while.
You got this.
We got this.
Hopefully...
Hopefully,
I'm not gonna let you down.
No, you're gonna do fine.
Let's la-crosse fingers.
Oh!
Let's go there, babe.
Hey, boys.
Hey, man,
I need your tricks.
I play baseball.
This is not the same
with this stick.
Ah!
- I might be back.
- She's gonna try it.
You wanna try it?
You ready?
Let's try,
let's try.
We need to get this.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
Woo!
I'm sorry.
I know how bad Amy
wants to get out of here.
She's got the dance down,
and I feel like
I'm letting her down.
I'm just worried
because in this maze
you don't know what
position you're in.
Yeah,
always take a left.
Okay, slow down
and wait for me, please.
Okay, yeah, this is it.
Let's go.
You lead the way.
Run, run, run, run, run.
We have four, so we've
just gotta find this exit.
Nice!
Sarah's so good at
hitting these targets,
I believe she may have
a future in lacrosse.
- I got it.
- Nice!
Let's go!
Sarah, you're a champ!
Woo!
Thank you
so, so much!
Make your way on foot to
the Remai Modern Art Museum.
Let's go, let's go!
It's a race to the mat.
- Let's do this.
- Let's go for a try.
One!
Got it, baby!
I love you.
Let's go.
Yes.
Thank you, guys!
Find Jon at your next
Pitstop on the rooftop.
Let's go!
They got
cheerleaders for us!
Oh, that went ground.
Oh, I keep going ground.
- Wanna trade?
- Sure, let's trade.
Oh, it's hard.
I get it, buddy.
I'd like to try again.
Everybody up to the
middle and come right back.
Woo!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Trish, want to
do the other task?
No, because
I know it's...
Okay, okay.
We don't give up,
so we're not giving up.
It's very important because
we want to show our kids
there's no failure in trying.
- Think this is it?
- I don't know, babe.
Oh my god, we're lost.
I don't want to go home
with an Express Pass.
Babe,
you're gonna be okay.
We're back here!
You're being stubborn!
Get me out of here, please!
Nobody's here!
We're gonna be okay!
We're gonna figure this out.
Come!
Why don't
we just use it?
We'll be okay.
You keep
going in circles!
Augh!
W
Is this
the way we came?
I don't know!
Babe...
Babe,
we're gonna do this.
We're gonna make it.
We've been
finding this for so long.
Everybody's left!
We've been here five times.
Is this it?
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Come here, come here.
Okay, let's get the clue.
Join the Saskatchewan Rush
lacrosse practice.
There's
another taxi still here.
We're good.
The moms are still here.
Okay.
That was a maze from hell.
Ha-ha.
How do you
think so clearly?
Stressing never
gets you anywhere in life.
You can...
We'll work on it.
- Try again.
- You've got it, Trish.
Do your best.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
Woo!
Four ladies
roll across the chain.
Circle to the left.
Do a left allemande,
to a right, left grand.
When you see your partner,
do a "do-si-do."
When you're home,
everybody up to the middle
and come right back.
Woo!
I think you got it!
I think you got it!
Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- And it's still daylight!
Thank you, everybody!
Route info.
Join a Saskatchewan Rush
lacrosse practice.
- Let's go!
- Ready for it.
Thanks so much!
We have no time to lose.
We're in last place once again.
Sorry, we're gonna...
- That was really hard.
- I am so proud of this girl.
She stuck it out to the end.
You did awesome.
I couldn't be any prouder.
Thanks.
That was not easy.
Jon!
You're our favourite
person to see.
Sarah, Sam,
you're team number two.
Oh!
- Oh, so close.
- Alright, it's all good.
Good job, good job.
Come and join us,
you guys.
- Hello, Jon.
- Woo!
Hi.
Dave and Irina, I'm glad
you guys could join us.
You're team number three.
- Yes!
- Good stuff.
Competition can breed
animosity amongst people.
How are you guys
maintaining your integrity?
As long as we're
talking, that's what's good.
If you have something
to say, say it.
Now that Dave and Irina
have ostracized themselves,
if elimination was a democracy,
then Dave and Irina
would win in a landslide.
Come on.
Need a little more height.
Woo, we're good!
Let's go!
Congratulations.
Good luck on the
rest of the race.
Thank you so much!
Look for Jon!
Come on!
Land of
the living skies!
Woo!
- Are the girls gone?
- Yeah.
We need to get out.
- No stress.
Don't stress.
We're fighting for second last.
- Oh no, too low.
- Babe.
Just go,
just go, just go.
- Down there.
- Yes, yes, yes.
Let's go!
Rooftop terrace.
Woo!
Bringin' it home.
Lauren and Joanne,
you're team number four.
Yeah!
How does it feel
to be back in Saskatchewan?
It's like bittersweet
because we're so close to home
and family and everything,
but it is also really nice
when you're driving
and everything is just flat.
Ladies, see you
at the next mat.
Thank you so much.
Woo!
We're feeling
a little worried,
but you never know
what's gonna happen.
Just gotta keep positive,
and we're gonna do it.
I see the flag
right here.
Oh, I see a team.
Thinesh and Aarthy
are still here.
We totally have
a chance to catch up.
The moms just got here.
- Wanna have a try?
- Yeah, we can try this.
- You pass it.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Do we start?
Let's go!
Good job!
Why don't we
just go try it?
Let's go!
Come on, baby.
Oh...
Babe!
Come on, baby.
Woo!
Yeah!
Thank you!
Last team to check in
may be eliminated.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Run, run, run!
I'm a sniper!
Let's go!
Our only choice
is to get it in one shot,
and have a footrace to the mat.
Yeah!
Come on, come on, come on!
Woo!
Yeah, woo!
Last team to check in
may be eliminated.
Come on, let's go!
Let's find Jon.
Which way?
I mean,
I don't know where it is.
You have the map?
- I thought you looked.
Let's go.
We gotta go down this way,
or this way?
Didn't they
say go on this road?
Okay, go.
Why don't
we ask someone?
All the way
to the roundabout.
The moms
could be right behind us.
Remai Modern.
It's right there.
Aarthy, Thinesh...
You're team number five.
Thank you.
- Oh, no.
- Relief?
- Yeah.
- Definitely relief.
How did you not
use your Express pass?
We just know that, even
when we're in the bottom,
we know we'll get here.
We're probably
gonna use it to get first.
Well,
with that Express Pass
burning a hole in your pocket,
hopefully you get it done
and used
on the next leg
of the race.
We'll see you
at the next stop.
- Thanks, Jon.
- Thank you, Jon.
- There.
- Yeah, I guess so, sure.
Rooftop terrace.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi.
Trish and Amy,
I am sorry to tell you this.
You're the last team to arrive.
You know,
we had a slow start.
We just couldn't
seem to catch up.
We tried our best.
There's no failure
in trying your best.
That's how I see it.
- It's been beautiful.
The places we've seen,
and coming to Saskatoon.
I've never been to the Prairies
either, so I feel blessed.
You know what's interesting
about Saskatchewan?
In the land of
the living skies,
lightning does strike twice.
No way!
No way!
Ladies, this is
a non-elimination leg,
and you are very much
still in this race.
No way!
Amy!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
We're alive!
We're alive!
Alright, alright.
I can't...
Oh, those teams
are not gonna be happy
when they see
our faces tomorrow.
Oh my god...
Too bad!
Let them not be happy!
I don't care!
We're here, we're here!
We're gonna do it!
We're not
down and out.
Our best leg is
still ahead of us.
It's not behind us.
We can do this.
We got this!
Next time on
the Amazing Race Canada,
teams head to
Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
Proust!
...where some racers
work together
like a well-oiled machine...
We're amazing.
...while others
short-circuit.
- Just do something!
- Oh... aw!
At the first faceoff
of the season,
racers acquire
a taste for revenge.
Oh, I'm so mad!
Cut the tension
in here with a knife.
And the gravity of the race
could take one team
out of the equation.
Put the numbers in.
The Amazing Race Canada...
This is incredible!
...seven teams headed south
to Nanaimo, British Columbia...
I want
to live over here.
...where the competition
between racers
reached new heights.
At the clam-digging challenge,
Dave and Irina took
another strategic penalty...
It worked last time
and we finished third.
Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
...inspiring the rest of
the teams to work together
to sink the strongest
team in the race.
Let's beat 'em!
Oh my god,
let's get them out!
Everyone work fast!
They want
to eliminate us.
It's war time.
This just got juicy!
But when the tides turned,
their alliance was swept away,
and led three more teams
to take penalties,
one after the other...
We're taking
a two-hour penalty.
...after the other...
We're gonna
take a penalty.
...after the other...
We're gonna
take a penalty.
...allowing
Sarah and Sam
to finally sprint to
the top of the podium...
Guys, we're
gonna come help you.
They're not
going home today.
...while Aarthy and Thinesh
joined forces
with Anthony and James,
to leave Meaghan and Marie
wondering what hit them.
You've been
eliminated from the race.
Now six teams remain,
as they race to win
the all-new 2019
Chevrolet Blazer RS,
a once-in-a-lifetime
trip for two around the world,
a quarter of a million
dollars cash
and the Amazing Race Canada.
On the east coast
of Vancouver Island
dotted with ruggedly
beautiful beaches,
this is Nanaimo,
British Columbia.
Today this charming harbour city
will act as the sixth
starting point as six teams
fight to stay in the race.
- Starting in first place!
- Yeah, let's go!
Sarah and Sam won
the last leg of the race,
and will depart
first at 6:18 a.m.
SARAH & SAM: Brave.
- Let's go, let's go!
Route info.
Fly to Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
Teams will now race
from the Pacific coast
to the prairie province
of Saskatchewan.
Surrounded by golden fields,
it's split by
the South Saskatchewan River.
It's the Paris
of the Prairies.
- Go!
- Let's go!
Today Sam and I have
decided our word of the day
is gonna be "brave."
We've been fighting
this whole race.
It's gonna take a lot of
bravery to be confident,
as we lead this pack
and hopefully stay up front.
Goin' to Saskatoon!
Woo!
Fly to Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
- Saskatchewan!
- Aah!
Keep running,
keep running.
Aarthy and Thinesh
are right behind us,
and we tied the last leg.
There's definitely tension
among the racers now.
There is tension.
We think something
happened at the last Roadblock
with Dave and Irina that really
did a number on the other team.
We're off to...
Saskatoon!
After the
last leg of the race,
there's a little bit of tension
around with Dave and Irina.
Are you kidding me?
How can you live with yourself?
You're such a cheater.
- What do you...?
You went
over to my board.
Hide your stuff.
Dave can't play
the game how he wants.
I will be cordial, but we're
not gonna bend over backwards.
First,
by the end of this leg.
We're feeling right now
that the other teams
are ganging up against us.
They're afraid of us,
and they want to eliminate us.
It didn't work,
so that just proves
how good we are, right?
Fly to
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!
- We're going home!
- Ah!
I can't wait for
flat ground, man.
Oh my god!
Dave and Irina are
an incredibly strong team.
They know
how to play this game,
so they would be
definitely awesome to beat.
Especially
in our home province.
Saskatoon is
the city that shines.
They were
already two hours.
It wasn't worth it
to spend...
How is everyone?
Good morning.
Hey, just a quick word, guys.
In the last leg,
we feel like everybody
was working together
to eliminate us,
and it really
didn't feel good.
We weren't
working with anybody.
We offered to be like,
"Do you have a clam?"
"We have a clam."
But we weren't digging together.
Being all together
against one team,
that's not fair.
I'm gonna
tell you the truth
about what happened yesterday.
- Tell me.
There was a moment
where you guys took a penalty,
everyone was like, "We could
get them out right now."
You admit it?
Oh my god,
let's get 'em out!
Everyone work fast.
For sure, for sure.
You admit it!
Because you guys
are a strong team.
That doesn't mean
we don't like you.
You're talking
about being fair.
At the caves,
you went to my board,
you copied my answer,
and then you wiped it off.
You're not gonna own that?
- I wiped it off, 100%.
And you wrote
down the answer.
- Yeah.
- Oh...
Wow!
Is that fair?
Playing fair
is one against one.
I'm sorry,
I love you guys,
but you're playing victim.
- Are you serious?!
Six on one is not okay,
honey, okay?
That's disrespectful!
That's disrespectful!
No, that's not disrespectful.
Wow.
I'm done
talking to you, Irina.
You're a sore loser
who can't handle the fact
that you were last!
Stop talking!
Everyone got super
defensive, but you know,
when you get defensive,
it's because it's true.
Aarthy and I,
I like Aarthy.
She's feisty.
I like that.
Yeah, I respect that.
Listen, I'm sorry.
This is a race.
It all--
we're all emotional here.
We're all pushing
our own limits.
I'm sorry, like, it's not--
it's nothing personal.
- Just give her a hug.
- Let's hug it out.
Who wants a shot
of vodka right now?
Thinesh and I
always help people,
so yes, I accept
your apology,
but no, Irina,
like, you mocked me.
It's just not cool.
Like, I'll forgive you,
but I'm not gonna forget.
Again.
One more.
Okay, let's go.
All teams are now flying
more than 1,200 kilometres
from British Columbia,
via Calgary,
to Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
When they land,
they'll search for Canada's
brightest light.
- Amy, run!
- Taxi!
University
of Saskatchewan.
Sir, we need you to go fast.
- Go, sir!
Brightest
light in Canada.
It's here,
at the Canadian Light Source,
that researchers
from around the world
study the science of
health, agriculture,
and the environment.
This football-field-sized
technological instrument,
the only one of its kind
in the country,
contains a sycrotron
that shines a light
a million times brighter
than that of the sun.
It's here teams will
find their next clue.
Awesome.
I definitely would love
to like nerd out there.
Canada's
brightest light.
- Canada lights.
- This is so big.
- Brightest light in Canada.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Alright.
- This is so awesome.
- This is so cool.
This is pretty awesome.
Oh my god,
we're in the future.
Route info.
It's curtains for you.
Teams will now make their
way southwest of the city,
and search for one of Nutrien's
potash mining operations.
Potash is one of
Saskatchewan's major exports,
and a natural earth fertiliZer
that allows people
around the world
to grow food
and feed our
families every day.
After teams suit up
in full mining gear,
they'll travel one kilometre
below the earth's surface,
where they'll have to hang
this plastic ventilation curtain
in a straight line,
to ensure proper airflow
for the safety of the miners.
Using a traditional spad gun,
they'll nail the curtain
tightly to the rock ceiling,
and make sure there are no gaps
for air to escape.
Then they'll need
to pile loose potash
on the bottom
of the curtain to guarantee
there is a tight seal.
Once the curtain is
up and secure,
and the air is flowing
in the right direction,
Larry the mine supervisor
will give them their next clue.
We're going
to a potash mine.
Potash is kind of like
the heart of this province.
If we finish first
at this challenge,
we can get back
on the lead.
I want to finish
on first try.
Follow this cab.
Follow this cab.
It's so annoying
when the cab doesn't know
where they're going.
- How far away is it?
- 60 kilometres from here.
- 60?
- Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Potash mine.
How far do you think that is?
It's like
10 kilometres out.
Oh my god, I'm so glad
we have an experienced driver.
Yeah.
That's
where we're going.
First team!
We are not
in last right now.
Ah-ha!
Feels good, for once.
What is that smell?
That's the potash.
That's where all our
fresh air goes down.
I'm feeling
pretty nervous.
It's just scary.
I'm also kind of
excited to see this.
I feel this is a privilege.
Ooh, that chloride.
We're Saskatchewan girls.
Are we going down
that elevator thing?
- Yup.
- Oh my god!
Ahh...
- Oh my goodness.
We have to go
a thousand metres below ground.
We're like going to the
middle of the earth right now.
This isn't
your average elevator.
I feel like
I'm on the moon.
We have to
ride in these cars.
Whoa-oa-oa!
Oh my goodness.
It feels like
we're in another universe.
Let's go punch
holes in the roof, bud.
Go punch holes!
If we can get this done
right the first time,
that's what we want.
We're putting up
a ventilation curtain,
which helps to keep
some of the salt
from this conveyor belt
away from the cleaner air.
As long as it's straight in
front of it, with an overlap.
It's a special
technique of how you
have to hold the plastic.
You have to make sure
that you're anchoring it
at a proper distance,
weight it at the bottom.
Sweet.
I just had to do
this in our house
because we're renovating
our formal living room.
We're going deep.
I'm from Northern
Ontario, Sudbury, mining town.
My dad, stepfather, all my
uncles are all hard rock miners.
Make my family proud
and get outta here fast.
Wow.
I don't understand
what's happening.
That's so crazy.
We're hoping some of
the people will really struggle
because like a lot of them
are city folk;
they don't like to get dirty.
I hate the outfits.
They're very... not
figure-flattering.
Our system is Dave
does all the work,
and I give him the
small tools, and complain.
That's our system in life.
Just lift it up.
Three feet should be here.
Ahh, great.
- Perfect.
- Hold on.
- Stick this in.
Okay.
Now you got it?
This is not easy
when you're short.
Let's rock, 'cause
teams are down here now.
Okay, lemme get it
to the top.
Don't touch it.
It has to overlap.
Okay, let's bury it.
Check!
I feel
the prairie pride,
even a kilometre
underneath the ground.
Sorry, team,
that's not correct.
Ahh!
- Joey?
- Yeah?
It's not tight there.
1, 2, 3.
We just gotta
shovel salt on top.
Good job.
- Hurry.
We actually have to
do this to the bottom
so that air
doesn't get into them.
Check.
Great job.
Here's your next clue.
- Thank you so much.
- Congratulations.
Route info.
Teams must now head to
the local Shell station where...
they'll receive a very
special clue from home.
Woo!
We're number one!
- Ahh!
I kind of feel
like I'm on Mars.
I feel like
a foreign environment.
Yeah!
I can't believe
we're a kilometre below.
I never even would
have thought of this
as an option for something
to do in my life.
Should we take this one?
We want to keep it
really straight.
That's good.
Let's not break it.
Good job.
Good job.
Okay.
Help me roll this out.
Yeah.
I'm already sweating.
Oh, god.
It looks like you're
doing a lot of hard work there.
My title
is "nail handler."
Okay,
tell me if it's straight.
Okay.
No, forward more.
Yeah, that's straight, isn't it?
Luckily, my lovely
boyfriend is super smart,
and he'll get me through this.
God, I'm sweating.
- Another one.
- Washer.
Ah, okay,
now it's gonna stick.
Uh-oh.
I'm having a hard time here.
We're sweating
like grease monkeys.
It's a good day.
- Feel good?
- Good.
- Check, please.
- Great job.
You passed.
- Thank you so much!
Woo!
The buggy breeze!
The salty breeze!
Oh,
I see the Shell sign.
Oh, it's a message!
Oh, no way.
- Welcome to Shell.
- Thank you.
Hi, James and Anthony.
You know the ancestors
are with you.
You walk that good path.
We're so proud of you.
Oh my god!
Now, here's your clue.
Make your way
to Champetre County
Vacation Ranch,
and search outside
for your next clue.
Go all the way,
and have fun.
ANTHONY & JAMES: Thank you!
- That's so cool.
I wouldn't be here
without my family.
They accept me
for who I am.
They accept Anthony.
Our moms were our
flower girls for our wedding.
Not all queer people have
the support of their family.
Beyond accepting us,
they're proud of us.
To have support and love,
there's nothing
that can replace that.
Let's see if
we can get this up quicker
than all the other teams,
then get back to the top,
where we belong.
We belong on top,
not underground.
That's okay.
We can add an extra one later.
Okay, go.
Right here?
SARAH Yeah.
- Nice.
- Great job.
Check, please!
Great job.
Here's your next clue.
Thank you!
- Good job.
- Oh...
That was true teamwork.
Are they done?
Were they after us?
Yeah.
It's okay.
- Uh, Sarah and Sam.
- Sarah and Sam just left.
It's all good, my love.
Don't panic.
- Babe?
- Yeah?
That fold's not
like crinkled properly.
Don't pull everything off,
just that.
Hi, girls.
LAUREN & JOANNE: Oh!
Can't wait to see ya.
Hope you're having
the blast of your life.
We love you much.
Hope to see ya soon.
Bye-bye.
- See ya!
Aw.
Thank you.
Our mom is
a cancer survivor.
Our dad has had multiple
brain surgeries.
Both of us had to
grow up quickly,
which is why we're so close.
It's really
nice to see them
and know that they're there,
and they're doing okay.
Oh, I miss them so much.
- Hi, guys.
- My mommy!
I know you guys will
do your best, and good luck!
That definitely
puts me on like cloud nine.
My mom is my hero.
She made me into the man I am.
Mama, this is for you.
Oh my god,
that's gonna fall off.
Oh!
We're just not
getting the end of it.
Can I get one?
Gimme a thing, gimme the thing.
- Is it straight?
- Can you hold on one sec?
Sorry.
- Seriously?
Amy, this is really heavy.
- Come on, come on.
- You have to put sand
and then we fold it over.
- Yeah.
We have to do this.
Check!
Check, please.
- Great job.
- Yes!
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.
Fourth.
We're leaving fourth.
Yeah, we're
leaving fourth.
Go fast, fast, fast!
Oh my god, we're
the only teams left.
- Okay.
- Okay, it's tight.
Everybody's looking at us.
That's like not
intimidating at all.
Check, please.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
We've never been
the only team left,
so it's a little...
It's definitely...
- Everyone's gone?
- Everyone's gone, babe.
Oh my god,
I'm stressing.
I don't know.
I don't want to go home
with an Express Pass.
I'm getting a little stressed.
I know,
but you need to help, okay.
Are you
serious right now?
One of them fell out.
Argh!
I don't want to go home
with an Express Pass.
I don't want
to use the Express Pass
because you never know
if there's a challenge
ahead of you that's
kind of next to impossible.
Come on.
Can we get a check?
I'm a little scared.
Congratulations,
you did a great job.
Thank you.
Make your way to
the local Shell station.
Let's go.
I'm so happy we didn't
have to use this Express Pass.
This leg started
off with some drama.
I don't think people said
everything they had to say.
That was the low.
But we're not gonna
let anything weigh us down.
Yeah,
it's not worth it.
Yeah, this is it.
- Get the clue.
- Get the clue.
Detour.
Dance in a square
or walk in circles.
Everybody step to the
middle, and come right back.
Woo!
In this Detour, teams
will have a chance to call out
or search and scour
for their next clue.
It's their choice, dance in
a square or walk in a circle.
Dance in a Square
requires teams to find
the Howling Coyote Saloon.
One team member must memoriZe
a complicated list of
19 square dance moves,
and then step up to the mic
to call the dance
in time with the music...
Four ladies chain
straight across that ring.
...while the other racer
learns the intricate footwork
from the members of
the River City Squares.
Everybody in the middle
and make some noise!
- Woo!
- Yeah!
Once their dosey-do
is done right,
Caroline the square dance caller
will give them their next clue.
Walk in Circles will have teams
completely turned around,
as they search through the tight
walls of this barnboard maze.
And did I mention
it's massive?
Here, racers must find
and collect four different
types of cobs of corn
hidden in this complicated
barn board maze.
Once they find the only
way out of the maze,
they'll trade their new-found
corn for their next clue.
Let's just do the maze.
- Wanna do the maze?
- Yeah.
Which way
do you want to start?
Let's go this way.
Let's do
the perimeter first.
Okay, it's a dead end.
- Another dead end?
- Yeah, go back.
Okay.
For Walking in Circles,
we have to find
four different ears of corn
inside a 7,500
square-foot maze.
Go this way.
Dead end there.
That's a dead end.
Oh, there's corn here.
Okay.
Awesome!
The maze's complicated
passageways are really narrow.
So easy to get lost.
I don't know
which way we've gone.
We never went this way.
I don't think
it's gonna be that way.
Oh, it has to be this way.
What I love about
Saskatchewan is if you look down
the road, you can see
that nobody's behind us
for at least a couple
of kilometres.
- Maze?
- Maze.
- Maze.
- Who's in here?
Anthony and James
are in here somewhere.
We don't know where.
Dead end.
Dead end.
Go back.
So where you were.
This is really confusing
because all the path
looks the same,
so you don't know
if you're making circles,
which we probably are.
Back...
- This is a dead end too.
- Okay.
- Is that a dead end there?
- Dead end here.
- Here's the red.
- Oh, all red.
Here.
Awesome!
Okay.
No way.
I was born in Moldova,
and introducing Dave
to my family,
they all fell in love with him.
Every time we have an
argument, they're like,
"Well, Dave is right."
I'm like, "Come on."
- I am.
- "I'm your daughter!"
I love you, guys.
Okay.
Make your way
to the Howling Coyote Saloon
for your next clue.
It was really nice
to see your family.
It's a nice reminder
that our families
are out there rooting for us.
Can't wait to
give them a big hug.
- Surprise!
- Ahh!
Get out of there!
- Hey, babe.
I miss you very much.
- Oh my gosh.
Hope you're
enjoying every moment
of this incredible journey.
The kids are super,
super proud of you.
Really great
to see Bekim's face.
I miss the kids a lot, yeah.
I miss my whole family
like crazy, everybody.
- It's 500 metres.
- I think I see a flag.
Detour.
Dance in a square
or walk in circles.
We're gonna do
Walk in Circles.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's play smart.
Let's trace our path.
Exactly.
This way...
This way.
This is a legit maze.
So I'm trying to draw
the places we've gone.
I'm like really trying,
but I cannot guarantee.
Sam, do you think we've
gone down this section?
This map is like long gone now.
Uh...
Honestly, I don't know.
Hi, guys!
We miss you!
We're so proud of you both,
and we're sending so much love
from back home.
We love you!
KUMAR & UMADEVI: Good luck.
That message is just a
reminder of why we're doing it,
and why we're
gonna stay today.
We're not going home.
Is this
a different way to go?
- No.
- Right, okay.
This is the only way, right.
Right here.
Oh, awesome, the last one.
Okay.
Now we're just
trying to exit the maze.
Okay, so we're gonna go left.
LAUREN & JOANNE:
Very frustrating.
Found it!
I did.
Yup, two.
We got
two out of four.
It's not
made to be easy.
Yes!
Finally.
- Yeah.
- Persistence!
I think
we're almost to the end.
That's the way to go.
This is the way, here.
This is the lucky corn.
- That's a pass.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Route info.
Join the Saskatchewan
Rush lacrosse practice,
as you pass, catch,
and shoot on goal.
Oh no!
I haven't played
lacrosse before.
This way.
- Okay.
They're done.
Oh yes!
We're the first team
to leave that challenge.
Maybe let's
try the dance.
Okay,
let's try the dance.
Dance.
You're gonna
be the caller.
I'm gonna be the dancer.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Woo-hoo!
Four ladies
chain straight across.
Okay.
Now, roll her away,
circle to the left.
Can we practice?
Yeah?
Oh, there's a
kitty-kitty, poo-poo!
I get all dolled up
in my red outfit.
You're so hot, oh!
I fall in love
all over again.
Alright, guys!
Four ladies chain
straight across that ring.
You roll away
and circle to the left.
We go to see
the demonstration.
I have to memorize
at least 10-20 sentences.
When you meet your
partner, do a "do-si-do."
Like, it's not easy.
The dance is
super-complicated.
Switching detours could
cost us this leg of the race.
- No.
- Do a left allemande.
No.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
- Whoa!
- Babe, it's insane.
No...
No.
Let's go and find that corn.
Come.
I can't do this.
It's impossible.
It would take us two to
three hours to finish that,
if not more.
Let's go to the maze.
Right here.
Amy, Amy, Amy.
Detour!
Dance in a square
or walk in circles.
Alright, you
dance and I call.
Okay, let's go!
- You're a good dancer.
- Alright.
You're a good dancer.
Maze or dance.
It's gonna be a Detour.
Walk in circles?
- Sure.
We'll walk in circles.
Do you know what
we're looking for, babe?
That's the maze.
See, it's not that big.
- Okay.
- It's big,
but it's not that big.
Go!
Babe, you know
how to follow a maze.
Always right.
There's only one
way through this, right?
This can't be so bad.
Follow me.
I'm a little muskrat
on a mission.
Oh, sorry.
Is it hard?
It's like you
kind of get lost in here.
There's a corn here.
That's just luck.
When you meet your
partner, do a "do-si-do."
I need to be calling
out the instructions
to a square dancing song
as Amy dances
the actual steps.
Now roll her away.
Oh, did it--
oh, I get another partner.
- To the left.
- Right, left, right.
Left on that, right...
The hard part here is you have
to memoriZe this completely.
You're good.
I have a severe
hearing impairment,
so I can hear the voices,
but I cannot decipher the words,
so I have to learn
this dance by memory.
Turn here, da-da-da.
Okay, I think--
okay.
Ladies backtrack
and go the other way.
We're at
the front of the pack
headed to play lacrosse, and I
feel pretty confident about it.
It's an Indigenous sport.
Like, that's in our blood.
- Yeah!
- I see the flag.
Here, teams
will hit the field,
and join members of
the Saskatchewan Rush,
as they test their skills
playing Canada's
national summertime sport...
Lacrosse.
One racer must pass
the ball to their teammate,
who must catch it,
shoot it at this net,
and hit one of
these four targets.
Nice shot!
Once teams have
hit two targets,
Ryan from the Saskatchewan Rush
will give them their next clue.
Hey, guys.
We've never played
lacrosse before.
That's alright, we'll
give you a couple pointers.
Okay.
Scoop the ball up,
hands up like so.
Like that?
I've played hockey
and baseball before.
I feel like there's some
transferable skills
that can go on here.
I play like
left with hockey,
but right with like
writing and stuff.
- Just get in and try it.
- Okay, I'll just try it.
Augh!
Come on.
You can do this.
Do you want me to...?
He thinks I didn't play
sports, but I played sports.
Cheer is a sport.
- Well, you...
He did cheerleading.
- Oh, pfft!
- Do you want me to try?
- Sure.
- Okay.
- Oh, the light.
- Um...
This is a dead end,
I think.
Uh...
That's dead.
- Definitely dead?
- No, it's still going.
Right here.
Great.
We get all
the pieces of corn,
and now it's a mad scramble
to find the exit.
- Let's see.
- What can we do?
Okay.
- Yes, boom.
Sarah and Sam are here.
Okay, so we
need maybe one more.
- A yellow one, yeah.
- Yellow?
- Okay.
- Fully yellow.
Okay.
Yeah, how are you girls?
Definitely
getting a little stressed.
Oh, whoa!
Ahh!
Corn maze squish.
There's too many
people in this maze now!
- This one.
- Yeah.
Dead, dead, dead.
Can we go this way?
No.
Where is the exit?
We are completely lost
getting out of the maze.
1, 2, 3, go!
You got it.
One more.
Argh!
Yeah, woo!
Woo!
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Woo!
Woo!
Route info.
Make your way on foot
to the Remai Modern Art Museum,
and find Jon at
your next Pitstop.
Teams must now make
their way to the brand new
Remai Modern Art Gallery
overlooking
the South Saskatchewan River.
Today, this 130,000
square-foot
home of modern and contemporary
art will act as the Pitstop
for the sixth leg of the race.
The last team to check in here
may be eliminated.
Ahh!
Yes!
Look, Meewasin.
Ahh!
This is Meewasin Trail.
Meewasin ,
that means a good path,
and we're gonna go have
a good path footrace to see Jon,
and we're gonna be first!
Ahkamaeymok!
Jonny,
we're coming for you, buddy!
Can we do it again?
I'm sorry... okay.
Let's do it
one more time.
I'll do it,
and you're doing it with me.
CALLER & TRISH: Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
I'm hesitant to even
make a try because I know
I don't have it memorized.
If I don't have it memoriZed,
I can't make the calls.
Argh!
This is not right.
When you meet your partner,
do a "do-si-do."
If anyone would have
ever told me that I would be
on stage, I would have thought
they had lost their minds.
I battled weight my entire life,
and after my third kid,
I wasn't chasing any dreams,
so I decided to take
matters into my own hands.
I started to run.
Okay, great, I'll run 5, I'll
run 10, I'll do a half-marathon.
I lost over 200 pounds.
You can do anything you really
want to put your mind to.
When you're ready,
you'll do it.
One time in the middle...
That's a dead end.
Augh!
This is like a
needle in a haystack.
So this is a maze.
I actually hate mazes.
They look fun,
but they're not.
- We have to...
- Find the exit.
Find the exit, yeah.
Go, go, go, find.
We're gonna find it.
- Okay.
- We're getting closer.
I feel like this is new.
Definitely.
It's just over here.
Great job, Sarah.
- Good job!
- Clutch.
Congratulations.
SARAH & SAM: Thank you!
So we're gonna
head to Victoria Park
to find the lacrosse
practice field.
Next one.
Is there
a strategy, babe,
or are you just
walking around?
Oh, we got it.
Yes!
Oh, hello, sir.
Congratulations.
DAVE & IRINA: Thank you.
Find the Saskatchewan
Rush lacrosse practice.
Baby!
Babe, babe...
Babe, babe...
It's not the time, my love.
- Who's a good boy?
- Babe!
- Oh-ho-ho.
Babe,
you're wasting time.
Oh, I like him.
We arrived fourth,
now we leave third.
Wait,
I don't remember this.
No, never mind.
Dead end.
- Dead, dead, dead.
- Dead, dead.
Why can everyone
get out of this thing but us?
Dead end.
Another one.
Do you want to dance?
I feel like
it's so close.
Oh my god,
it isn't.
Ahh!
- Oh my god!
- Go back.
We just can't get out.
That's the only thing.
We have it, we just
can't find our way out.
Oh,
you guys are still here?
We can't get out.
You can find the corn,
but you can't get out.
Oh, this sucks so bad.
There's one-- oh!
Nice.
Alright.
We're making some ground
in Saskatchewan!
Dead, dead,
dead, dead, dead.
- Dead, dead!
- Go back.
- Oh my god!
- Oh!
We got there second,
and we could just not
get out of that maze.
I don't know, man.
This is confusing.
This is a maze of doom!
Jonny!
It's beautiful.
Look at that.
Come on.
The roof.
- Jonny!
- Woo!
Welcome
to the Remai Modern
in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Anthony and James,
you guys are
team number one!
Yes!
As the winners of
this leg of the race,
you guys have won a trip
for two to Costa Rica.
Alright!
- Turtles, woo!
- That's not all.
Our friends at Shell are gonna
keep your tanks topped up
for free for a whole year.
- Oh!
- What?
Keep your tanks
topped up, gentlemen.
Give me those!
- You earned it.
- Thanks, Shell!
First place is amazing.
First place feels
like I'm a queen,
and there's my crown.
Bing.
This is
an intense race,
but I think at the end of the
day it's about being proud
of who you are, and always
remembering to laugh.
Your family
is cheering for you.
Your country is
cheering for you.
See you at the next mat.
- Thank you.
Thanks, Jon.
I'm excited.
This is our thing.
I mean, I don't play lacrosse,
but I got coordination.
We're good.
- Uh, speak for yourself,
because I got cut from every
single team in grade 9.
Basketball,
volleyball, badminton,
and that's why I run
the hurdles, so...
Well, we're
gonna make this one.
- I'm gonna make it work.
- Yeah.
Okay.
It's been a while.
You got this.
We got this.
Hopefully...
Hopefully,
I'm not gonna let you down.
No, you're gonna do fine.
Let's la-crosse fingers.
Oh!
Let's go there, babe.
Hey, boys.
Hey, man,
I need your tricks.
I play baseball.
This is not the same
with this stick.
Ah!
- I might be back.
- She's gonna try it.
You wanna try it?
You ready?
Let's try,
let's try.
We need to get this.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
Woo!
I'm sorry.
I know how bad Amy
wants to get out of here.
She's got the dance down,
and I feel like
I'm letting her down.
I'm just worried
because in this maze
you don't know what
position you're in.
Yeah,
always take a left.
Okay, slow down
and wait for me, please.
Okay, yeah, this is it.
Let's go.
You lead the way.
Run, run, run, run, run.
We have four, so we've
just gotta find this exit.
Nice!
Sarah's so good at
hitting these targets,
I believe she may have
a future in lacrosse.
- I got it.
- Nice!
Let's go!
Sarah, you're a champ!
Woo!
Thank you
so, so much!
Make your way on foot to
the Remai Modern Art Museum.
Let's go, let's go!
It's a race to the mat.
- Let's do this.
- Let's go for a try.
One!
Got it, baby!
I love you.
Let's go.
Yes.
Thank you, guys!
Find Jon at your next
Pitstop on the rooftop.
Let's go!
They got
cheerleaders for us!
Oh, that went ground.
Oh, I keep going ground.
- Wanna trade?
- Sure, let's trade.
Oh, it's hard.
I get it, buddy.
I'd like to try again.
Everybody up to the
middle and come right back.
Woo!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Trish, want to
do the other task?
No, because
I know it's...
Okay, okay.
We don't give up,
so we're not giving up.
It's very important because
we want to show our kids
there's no failure in trying.
- Think this is it?
- I don't know, babe.
Oh my god, we're lost.
I don't want to go home
with an Express Pass.
Babe,
you're gonna be okay.
We're back here!
You're being stubborn!
Get me out of here, please!
Nobody's here!
We're gonna be okay!
We're gonna figure this out.
Come!
Why don't
we just use it?
We'll be okay.
You keep
going in circles!
Augh!
W
Is this
the way we came?
I don't know!
Babe...
Babe,
we're gonna do this.
We're gonna make it.
We've been
finding this for so long.
Everybody's left!
We've been here five times.
Is this it?
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Come here, come here.
Okay, let's get the clue.
Join the Saskatchewan Rush
lacrosse practice.
There's
another taxi still here.
We're good.
The moms are still here.
Okay.
That was a maze from hell.
Ha-ha.
How do you
think so clearly?
Stressing never
gets you anywhere in life.
You can...
We'll work on it.
- Try again.
- You've got it, Trish.
Do your best.
Everybody up to
the middle and come right back.
Woo!
Four ladies
roll across the chain.
Circle to the left.
Do a left allemande,
to a right, left grand.
When you see your partner,
do a "do-si-do."
When you're home,
everybody up to the middle
and come right back.
Woo!
I think you got it!
I think you got it!
Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- And it's still daylight!
Thank you, everybody!
Route info.
Join a Saskatchewan Rush
lacrosse practice.
- Let's go!
- Ready for it.
Thanks so much!
We have no time to lose.
We're in last place once again.
Sorry, we're gonna...
- That was really hard.
- I am so proud of this girl.
She stuck it out to the end.
You did awesome.
I couldn't be any prouder.
Thanks.
That was not easy.
Jon!
You're our favourite
person to see.
Sarah, Sam,
you're team number two.
Oh!
- Oh, so close.
- Alright, it's all good.
Good job, good job.
Come and join us,
you guys.
- Hello, Jon.
- Woo!
Hi.
Dave and Irina, I'm glad
you guys could join us.
You're team number three.
- Yes!
- Good stuff.
Competition can breed
animosity amongst people.
How are you guys
maintaining your integrity?
As long as we're
talking, that's what's good.
If you have something
to say, say it.
Now that Dave and Irina
have ostracized themselves,
if elimination was a democracy,
then Dave and Irina
would win in a landslide.
Come on.
Need a little more height.
Woo, we're good!
Let's go!
Congratulations.
Good luck on the
rest of the race.
Thank you so much!
Look for Jon!
Come on!
Land of
the living skies!
Woo!
- Are the girls gone?
- Yeah.
We need to get out.
- No stress.
Don't stress.
We're fighting for second last.
- Oh no, too low.
- Babe.
Just go,
just go, just go.
- Down there.
- Yes, yes, yes.
Let's go!
Rooftop terrace.
Woo!
Bringin' it home.
Lauren and Joanne,
you're team number four.
Yeah!
How does it feel
to be back in Saskatchewan?
It's like bittersweet
because we're so close to home
and family and everything,
but it is also really nice
when you're driving
and everything is just flat.
Ladies, see you
at the next mat.
Thank you so much.
Woo!
We're feeling
a little worried,
but you never know
what's gonna happen.
Just gotta keep positive,
and we're gonna do it.
I see the flag
right here.
Oh, I see a team.
Thinesh and Aarthy
are still here.
We totally have
a chance to catch up.
The moms just got here.
- Wanna have a try?
- Yeah, we can try this.
- You pass it.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Do we start?
Let's go!
Good job!
Why don't we
just go try it?
Let's go!
Come on, baby.
Oh...
Babe!
Come on, baby.
Woo!
Yeah!
Thank you!
Last team to check in
may be eliminated.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Run, run, run!
I'm a sniper!
Let's go!
Our only choice
is to get it in one shot,
and have a footrace to the mat.
Yeah!
Come on, come on, come on!
Woo!
Yeah, woo!
Last team to check in
may be eliminated.
Come on, let's go!
Let's find Jon.
Which way?
I mean,
I don't know where it is.
You have the map?
- I thought you looked.
Let's go.
We gotta go down this way,
or this way?
Didn't they
say go on this road?
Okay, go.
Why don't
we ask someone?
All the way
to the roundabout.
The moms
could be right behind us.
Remai Modern.
It's right there.
Aarthy, Thinesh...
You're team number five.
Thank you.
- Oh, no.
- Relief?
- Yeah.
- Definitely relief.
How did you not
use your Express pass?
We just know that, even
when we're in the bottom,
we know we'll get here.
We're probably
gonna use it to get first.
Well,
with that Express Pass
burning a hole in your pocket,
hopefully you get it done
and used
on the next leg
of the race.
We'll see you
at the next stop.
- Thanks, Jon.
- Thank you, Jon.
- There.
- Yeah, I guess so, sure.
Rooftop terrace.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi.
Trish and Amy,
I am sorry to tell you this.
You're the last team to arrive.
You know,
we had a slow start.
We just couldn't
seem to catch up.
We tried our best.
There's no failure
in trying your best.
That's how I see it.
- It's been beautiful.
The places we've seen,
and coming to Saskatoon.
I've never been to the Prairies
either, so I feel blessed.
You know what's interesting
about Saskatchewan?
In the land of
the living skies,
lightning does strike twice.
No way!
No way!
Ladies, this is
a non-elimination leg,
and you are very much
still in this race.
No way!
Amy!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
We're alive!
We're alive!
Alright, alright.
I can't...
Oh, those teams
are not gonna be happy
when they see
our faces tomorrow.
Oh my god...
Too bad!
Let them not be happy!
I don't care!
We're here, we're here!
We're gonna do it!
We're not
down and out.
Our best leg is
still ahead of us.
It's not behind us.
We can do this.
We got this!
Next time on
the Amazing Race Canada,
teams head to
Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
Proust!
...where some racers
work together
like a well-oiled machine...
We're amazing.
...while others
short-circuit.
- Just do something!
- Oh... aw!
At the first faceoff
of the season,
racers acquire
a taste for revenge.
Oh, I'm so mad!
Cut the tension
in here with a knife.
And the gravity of the race
could take one team
out of the equation.
Put the numbers in.
