TAR CANADA 2 Contestants - Mickey Henry and Pete Schmalz (Best Friends)
Leafsfan:
Amazing Race duo still enjoying the limelight
PARRY SOUND – Mickey Henry admits there is one huge benefit to being somewhat of a television celebrity – the girls.
Nearing the final episodes of Amazing Race Canada, Seguin Township’s Henry and his “BFF” Pete Schmalz are still in the running for the $250,000 grand prize.
Chatting with Henry is not unlike like catching up with a long-lost high school friend. His casual, upbeat demeanor and self-deprecating sense of humour are immediately disarming and infectious.
Wednesday morning 24-year-old said he and Schmalz have taken almost every opportunity to watch the episodes each Tuesday night at Don Cherry’s; mingling with the crowd, signing autographs and snapping pictures with adoring fans.
“It’s been great!” Henry says of his newfound popularity. “We love attention…girls actually talk to us at the bar now…you know, because Pete and I aren’t the nicest-looking guys.”
Henry said the entire competition, which wraps up on September 21, has kept the boys on their game.
“The whole race is tense, we’re always on our toes. I mean, we did get lost for a few hours when we went an hour north of Paris (France), when we should have stayed in Paris and spent all our money on a cab ride,” he said with a laugh.
As their wild ride comes to a close, Henry said he couldn’t pinpoint the best part about the experience, nor what he will do when it’s all over later this month.
“Everywhere has been so fun and everyone we’ve met along this whole race has been the best people ever – the nicest people – it’s pretty crazy,” He said. “I don’t even know (what I’ll do)…try and milk this for all it’s worth, I guess. I’ll probably be that guy still at the same bar 10 years later being like, ‘remember us?’”
The next episode airs Tuesday night on CTV at 9 p.m.
