An Amazing 'undertaking'
What do funeral directors do to relax? Go on the Amazing Race Canada, of course.
Deb and Aaron Baker are a mother and son from Grand Forks. They are also funeral directors at the Grand Forks Funeral Home. And, they like to have fun.
"We are both pretty crazy," said Deb Baker.
That came across in their pre-show video where, dressed in suits, Deb proclaimed their desire to 'bury' the competition.
The new season of the popular summer reality show begins tonight. All 10 teams competing are in Toronto for the premiere of the new season.
Castanet reached out to Deb in Toronto.
"It was a wonderful experience, especially doing it with my son," she said, mindful of not letting anything out of the bag. "It was a little bit different than what I expected."
Despite their line of work, Deb said they were prepared to do whatever it took in the competition.
"We said if we had to shave our heads in a challenge, we'd shave our heads. If we had to jump from an airplane, we'd jump from an airplane. We were ready to do whatever we needed to."
But, she added, it's so much different doing the show than it is watching it.
"Aaron and I would watch the show and say, you'd be good at that, or I could do that. But, you don't know what it's like until you experience it, when there are cameras in your face."
To find out just how well they did, you'll have to watch.
