[WindsorSue]

omg just found out that it's already airing on TSN2...

yep...that's ridiculous

[Polaroid]

Previously on The Amazing Race Canada...

5 teams raced through the Okanagan valley.

Gino & Jesse U-Turned Nick & Matt and finished the leg in 1st place. Brent & Sean proved to be a physical threat. Simi & Ope overcame every obstacle and proves it pays to never give up while Dujean & Leilani fought to the finish and were eliminated from the race.

4 teams remain.

[Polaroid]

Gino & Jesse depart 1st at 1:41 PM. Fly to Edmonton, Alberta. They're in a cab to the airport. They're going to do anything possible to get to the final leg.

Brent & Sean depart 2nd at 3:35 PM. "This leg is like the appetizer for the final entree."

Wrestlers depart at 3:45 PM. $780 for this leg.

Teams are at Penticton Airport. Gino & Jesse ask if they know who got eliminated... Wrestlers: We're still here... Awwwwk.

Simi & Ope depart at 4:45 PM. Simi says they're the underdogs.

All teams on plane to Osoyoos to Vancouver to Edmonton. Proceed by cab to Edmonton City Hall. Find the Justice of the peace and interrupt a wedding to receive their next clue.

[Polaroid]

Gino & Jesse doesn't want to interrupt the wedding loooool. "It's like the most awkward wedding ever." Wrestlers get the clue. Brent & Sean get the clue. Simi: "We object! Please. Sorry."

Proceed to Edmonton Waste Management Centre for the next clue. Simi & Ope in 1st lol. Brent & Sean 2nd to get a cab. Gino & Jesse 3rd. Nick & Matt in last.

Simi & Ope first to arrive. Detour: Paper or Plastic. It's a blind detour!

Paper - Proceed to Materials recovery facility. They'll be given 2 bins for plastic and other with non-paper garbage. They have to pick off items from a fast sorting line. Once they fill the bins with 13 kg, they'll get their next clue.

Plastic - Global Electric and Electric Processing facility. Old, outdated and trashed TVs. Dismantle 6 dead TV sets and harvest all the reusable parts. If they mess up, they have to take apart a new TV.

[Polaroid]

Simi & Ope do plastic. Brent & Sean do paper and tell their cab to wait. Wrestlers and Gino & Jesse arrive.

Simi & Ope pick plastic. Brent & Sean doing paper. They tell their cab to wait. Simi can't believe they got ahead of the brothers and wrestlers.

Simi: "These TVs are about the same age I am." They accidentally broke a TV so they have to use another TV. They messed up another TV lol. They have 1/6 done now.

Brent & Sean joking that they can use the garbage can in case they need to barf lol.

Gino & Jesse and Nick & Matt arrive at plastic.

Nick & Matt ruin their first TV. Simi & Ope 2/6. Gino & Jesse 2/6. Nick & Matt 2/6.

Sean starts seeing shingles which are "garbage gold" because it's so heavy. They're going for their first weigh-in. One bin is over 13 kg. The other is as well! FACE OFF. Make your way to Ottewell Curling Club. Sean: "Hurry hard! Otherwise we'll be ott!"

Simi & Ope 5/6.  Nick & Matt 5/6. Gino & Jesse done the detour in 2nd. They're on the shuttle back. Nick & Matt done. Simi & Ope done.

[Polaroid]

Gino & Jesse see that there's only 1 taxi... It's Nick & Matt's taxi. They thought about calling a cab but nope. Wrestlers arrive as Gino & Jesse are already in the cab. Gino & Jesse saying they'll pay the taxi driver $40 more and the wrestlers say to the cab driver that he's their driver.

Meanwhile, Simi & Ope decided to call for a cab under Simi's name because there's no cabs around.

The cab driver ends up driving off with Gino & Jesse and the wrestlers are not happy. Wrestlers with the title.

Commercial.

[Polaroid]

And we're back. Simi saying to Nick & Matt that she called for a cab so it's under her name. Wrestlers saying they'd steal that cab lol. Both teams walking somewhere.

Brent & Sean arrive at the curling rink for the face off. Racers will play an end of curling. Alternating throws, each team member will throw 4 rocks. The team that gets their rock closest to the button will receive their next clue. Last team at the face off will have a pre-determined time penalty. Brent & Sean's grandfather curled at the Brier for team Nova Scotia! Brent & Sean going down the ice for practice. Sean: "Clearly, this does not run in the family."

Gino & Jesse saying that it's like bocce ball. Brent & Sean hope that Gino & Jesse don't come... and Gino & Jesse arrive. Brent has curled once lol.

The team that arrives first gets to choose who throws first. Gino & Jesse throwing first. First few rocks too hard or too light. Brent's rock is the first one in the circle. Sean gets another rock in the circle and it's closer to the button. Brent & Sean get another rock in. Gino & Jesse get one very close to the button! Brent is channelling his grandfather... HE KNOCKS GINO & JESSE'S STONE AWAY SO THEY'RE DONE 1ST!!!

"Good luck Gino & Jesse! Pleasure to beat you though." Make your way to Petro Canada station in St. Albert. "We beat Gino & Jesse at a sport and it wasn't curling hair! It was curling on ice!"

[Polaroid]

The cab arrives and then the WRESTLERS GET INTO THE CAB because they were walking ahead of Simi & Ope. What the heck??? The wrestlers were literally a few steps ahead. The cab driver didn't know who called him. Wrestlers being rude af to Simi & Ope, telling them to get out of the way... Ope telling wrestlers that 2 wrongs don't make a right. Ope tells Simi that they'll just wait.

Brent & Sean at the Petro Canada gas station. Redeem the points on a Petro Canada points card in a speedy shopping trip and pick up drinks and snacks. They have to spend 250K in points in 90 seconds? Brent & Sean done lol. Travel to Kelly's Saloon in Fort Edmonton Park.

A cab arrives for Simi & Ope. They get into the cab. Ope points out that the cab was for Nick & Matt because Nick's name is on the dashboard thingy.

Wrestlers arrive at curling. Gino/Jesse: "Nick and Matt are big bears and we're like lions... but don't forget, we're the king of the jungle." Nick & Matt first in the ring. Gino knocks the wrestlers' first rock out but their rock goes out as well. Nick & Matt's last stone is at the back of the house. AND THE WRESTLERS BEAT GINO & JESSE. Lame.

Commercial.

[Polaroid]

Brent & Sean arrive at Kelly's saloon. RB: Who wants to raise the bar? Dressed in costume, memorize a script. When ready, participate in liquor license raid. Among the confusing chaos, racers will have to recite their lines. Brent doing the RB. The character they’re playing is Kelly. Brent used to memorizing lines because of theatre.

Simi & Ope telling their cab driver to not take anyone else as they arrive at the curling rink. Ope tries to throw his first stone and he falls. His first throw is way too heavy. Simi keeps falling. Simi: "I'm graceless... completely graceless..." LOL IT BOUNCES OFF OF GINO & JESSE'S ROCK AND GETS INTO THE HOUSE.

Nick & Matt grabbing gas can and jumper cables in their shopping spree. lol they failed on their first try. They're done on their 2nd.

[Polaroid]

Ope's lack rock accidentally knocks off their own rock so now it's not in the house. Gino & Jesse land almost on the button. Simi's last shot misses their rock. Gino & Jesse done the face off. Simi & Ope waiting for sand in the hourglass now...

GINO & JESSE TOOK SIMI & OPE'S CAB.

Brent going for his 1st attempt. Sean wishes he could watch. "You talk too much buffalo breath!" Brent doing very well. He forgot a line but he was doing very well until then!

Wrestlers arrive at the RB. Matt going for his 1st attempt. He messed up.

Simi & Ope's penalty is done and then they find out that their cab got stolen... They told their cab driver to not take anyone else! Simi can't believe this is happening again. Simi is hyperventilating. Commercial.

[Polaroid]

Ope asks for people at the curling rink to call them a cab. Ope calling Simi "Sunshine" is so sweet. Ope saying that they're going to play fair.

Gino & Jesse arrive at the RB. Jesse going for his first attempt. Wrestlers saying they sound like idiots loool. Jesse not great at this lol. He forgets a line. "It's really weird in there."

Simi & Ope done the Petro points task.

Brent going for a 5th attempt lol. Forgot part of a line. Now going for a 6th attempt. And he got that line and finishes the RB!!! Pit stop: Muttart Conservatory. Last team to check in WILL be eliminated. Brent & Sean took either Gino & Jesse's or the wrestlers' cab but they called another one for them... BECAUSE THEY ARE KIND HUMAN BEINGS.

Ope doing the RB. pls pls pls Simi & Ope pls slay this task.

[Polaroid]

Brent & Sean are team #1!!! Won a trip to Dubai. They wanted to go there! And 2 years free gas!!!

Pit stop:
1st - Brent & Sean

Ope's going for his 1st attempt. Messed up on an early line.

Jesse messed up a line on his 2nd attempt. Matt's 3rd attempt wrong.

Commercial.

[Polaroid]

Jesse messed up on another attempt. Ope going for a 3rd attempt. Messed up a line. Matt going for a 4th attempt. Finished the RB in 2nd. Booooo.

Now it's between Gino & Jesse and Simi & Ope. Ope going for a 4th attempt. Ope messed up.

Nick & Matt are team #2.

Pit stop:
1st - Brent & Sean

Jesse finished the RB. Ope going for his 6th attempt. Simi hoping that he got it... and he did!!! Seems like they're not far behind. Gino & Jesse got a taxi and Simi & Ope got a taxi.

Commercial.

[Polaroid]

And we're back with Gino & Jesse vs. Simi & Ope... and Gino & Jesse arrive on the mat in 3rd.

Simi & Ope run onto the mat. They're the last team to arrive and they've been eliminated from the race. Simi said she really believed they could have won the race but she's still really grateful that they made it this far. Ope's grateful to be in this race and be a Canadian. He says he's grateful and proud that Canada gives immigrants the opportunity to excel. Simi makes fun of Ope's accent. <3333 Ope says he's had to change from being a protective father to appreciating his daughter as an equal and a teammate. Simi says her dad's her best friend, mentor and Superman. <33333333

Pit stop:
1st - Brent & Sean
2nd - Nick & Matt
3rd - Gino & Jesse
4th - Simi & Ope (ELIMINATED)

[gamerfan09]

Gino & Jesse are truly disgusting human beings hope they love that taste of karma in the finale )))

[WindsorSue]

I wonder if After the Race will be as "entertaining" as last year.

[Maanca]

It's the end of "After the Race" I'll be looking forward to If there's to be a season 4, that's when they'll announce it, as with previous years.

[couchracer]

This episode should be called let's steal a taxi.

[gamerfan09]

BTW All-Male F3 

Hoping Brent & Sean take the win considering the nearly negative edits the other two got this ep! 

[dryedmangoez]

Well that was horrible.

I don't really care who wins because I don't really care for any of the teams.  I guess I'd prefer Brent & Sean only with the hope that Sean tumbles to the Finish Line and throws up.

[gamerfan09]

I think the worst part of this episode was just everything.

The Blind Detour was awful, the Roadblock made no sense, and then the curling being a Final Four Face-Off before a linear Roadblock? Just really the worst leg I've ever seen on TARCAN.

Not to mention #Cabgate, which is definitely one of the worst occurences in ANY version of the Race.

It's even worse than TAR24's answer-sharing in Switzerland, and that's saying a lot.

Nick & Matt were alright but now they're revealed as hypocrites and bad sports (rejoicing when they beat Gino & Jesse? ), I loathe them.
Gino & Jesse were hypocrites a long time ago the minute they criticized Simi & Ope in India for following them and then doing the same thing at the Detour a few minutes later. The cab-stealing and the random casual love (there were actually people on Twitter rejoicing that Simi & Ope were eliminated because "the hot guys were safe"...... I am at a loss for words) just push them to the bottom of my overall TARCAN teams.

I was rooting for Simi & Ope and Brent & Sean to take it all, but now coming into next week I'm hoping for Brent & Sean to take the win. They're the only people with proper integrity and personality in this god-awful male-dominated Final Three.

[stekay]

Yes! I haven't even watch but the the invisibles are finally gawn!

[Maanca]

I saw the memory challenge for a split second in the preview. A big map.

I had so much to say about this episode, but you've just summed it all up right here, Gamer.

Gino & Jesse are by far the worst team there's ever been on TAR Canada, and Nick & Matt have seriously P***ed me off this Leg.  I've been rooting for them from the beginning, but their hypocrisy this episode has angered me sooooooooo much.

I haven't cared for Brent & Sean this whole Season, but they're they only team left that have morals.
The best thing about the Episode was Simi & Ope's AMAZING send off.  It's probably the best we've seen all Season. 

[BritishTARFan]

I actually think I dislike Nick & Matt more than Gino & Jesse! They were saying that they were getting Gino & Jesse back for dirty play when they did it them f**king selves! Brent & Sean you better win or this will be worse than the winning of Dave & Connor or for some Tyler & Laura ( I liked them )

[WindsorSue]

I think some people need to watch it again to see how it all went down.

[paradoxinee]

lol when stealing the cab happened 4 times (even the last one, Brent and Sean called another cab).

I like this face off than the last one because it required skill more than strength and Simi and Ope could even win over Jesse & Gino until the last minutes.

Next week, we have driving bicycle up in the air 

[dryedmangoez]

What made thing even worse was Jon actually laughing and applauding the cab stealing. 

[stekay]

It's to get into the final of the amazing race for a life changing prize!!!! Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[WindsorSue]

Who on earth is going to say, "You take this cab, we'll grab the next one"?

[paradoxinee]

When did he do that? I missed something?

[gamerfan09]

What made thing even worse was Jon actually laughing and applauding the cab stealing.

Jon didn't do that... I think he was referring to Jon saying that "All is fair in love and war and The Amazing Race Canada" :x

That's not really laughing and applauding the cab stealing though....

[dryedmangoez]

Yeah, Jon was so sad and upset at the Mat because of the cab stealing.    What?

Just because it's not against the rules doesn't mean it's not dirty gameplay. You're sabotaging other teams and then act like a hypocrite about it later.  Other may care to root for that, but I don't.

Just look at the way Nick physically prevented Simi & Ope from even trying to talk to the driver, using the door to shove them out of the way.  Gino & Jesse and Nick & Matt would've probably pulled any other teams' bag out of the cab if they had the chance, judging from the way they acted this Leg.

Pulling other's people bags will break the rules. They're not that dumb. So the assumption failed.
Stealing cab is really bad sport though.

And why did Jon have to be sad and upset? He is the one who should not show the bias in any situation. He was just happy for the teams who made it to the final. The upset part went to viewers, not him.

[stekay]

Oh everyone please come off your high horses

[Hysha]

I actually think I dislike Nick & Matt more than Gino & Jesse! They were saying that they were getting Gino & Jesse back for dirty play when they did it them f**king selves! Brent & Sean you better win or this will be worse than the winning of Dave & Connor or for some Tyler & Laura ( I liked them )

Yes! I really hate both teams right now! Why they can't play clean and nice like Brent & Sean and Simi & Ope!? At least don't say st*****ties about Gino & Jesse if you are doing the same!
I'm rooting 10000000000000000% for Brent & Sean, because if they don't win that, like you said, this will be worst winners ever.
I'm so angry right now grrrrrrrrrrrr 

[WindsorSue]

Why Sean and Brent? They took someone's cab too and it doesn't make it any better that they called in for a replacement. Especially so because this was to get to the Pitstop for the win. It pretty much ensured their win, didn't it? Any one of those teams could have finished sooner than a replacement cab could have arrived.

[gabriel90]

I am pretty sure that any of the 3 finalist teams, if they had to make a choice, will steal another team's cab and that showed in the 11th episode cz all three did at some point steal.

I am still rooting for Gino and Jesse and my second choice would be the Wrestlers. Sean and Brent keeps on nagging, complaining, vomiting every step of the way and I had enough of their Drama Queen attitude.

[stekay]

I don't think he wants to vomit for attention 

[gabriel90]

I don't think he wants to vomit for attention 

Yeah maybe most of the times but still it is a bit too much and sometimes it feels like he is forcing it out to be honest.

[WindsorSue]

Are we really going to talk vom? 
Okay, I'm in.
I think it's more phlegm-y. Maybe a combination of anxiety and maybe a bit of asthma? It happens when he gets over-excited or he's been running.

[stekay]

Whatever it is it's entertained me

Vomiting is not the main issue with them but their attitude! Drama Queens

Explain how they are Drama Queens please. They don't really complain that much? Their usual "complaints" are standard TAR stuff like: "OMG this is hard" or "that was really hard but thank god we got it done".

And the vomiting is probably due to motion sickness. Just saying.

Yep that is it but the frequency of them saying it is too high! Every challenge is hard for them and they keep on complaining how hard it is during, before and after they finish it. I don't hate them it is just other teams deserve to win more than they do that and keep in mind they shouldn't be in the finale in the first place, they were lucky to end up last on a non elimination leg.

[stekay]

Sorry but saying they shouldn't be in the final because of an NEL is stupid. How many winners have had NELs

[gabriel90]

Sorry but saying they shouldn't be in the final because of an NEL is stupid. How many winners have had NELs

Still it proves that the probability of them winning is lower than the other teams

[stekay]

It doesn't really make it any lower....

[ZBC Company]

What was use of gas station  task

[Hysha]

At least Brent & Sean called a taxi for the other team. For me, it's better than steal it and bye bye.

Please... Brent & Sean didn't gave up in any of those task. I prefer to see them, rather than two guys with hateable voices saying that they are incredible doing everything.

And you know what? I love that Drama Queen and those "vomit" funny moments. xD

[gabriel90]

Please... Brent & Sean didn't gave up in any of those task. I prefer to see them, rather than two guys with hateable voices saying that they are incredible doing everything.

Gino and Jesse always excelled at all challenges they say they are good at .. so I can't see what is the big deal!

You sure you wanna dig into voices?  I mean at least Gino and Jesse got normal ones and not high pitch opera singers tractor voices that are quite annoying.

Anyways I will say it again I don't hate Brent & Sean as you do hate Gino and Jesse but I prefer to see someone who deserves to win winning 

[stekay]

They all made the final 3 they all deserve to win it

[Maanca]

What was use of gas station  task

Purely Petro-Canada product placement. I knew it was coming because they hadn't gotten their task like the other sponsors yet.

[WindsorSue]

Purely Petro-Canada product placement. I knew it was coming because they hadn't gotten their task like the other sponsors yet.

I think they also wanted a buffer task between the Face Off and the Detour to at least give the illusion the last place team could catch up.

[paradoxinee]

Tim and Tim won after saved by two NELs and they deserved that winning.

As long as a team wins fair and square, they deserve that even you like them or not.

[stekay]

Another good episode! N*ck & M*tt were gross and need to get off their moral high horse. Vomit worthy. I bet they've been like this all season tbh nobody seems to be a fan of them.

Oh that's not true at all. They were VERY approachable on Twitter and I had a couple of good convos with them.

[stekay]

I meant other racers
