'The Amazing Race Canada': Stephane and Antoine reveal hatred of ducks after elimination
After their elimination on this week’s Amazing Race Canada, father-son duo Stephane and Antoine have fallen out of love with ducks.

“I don’t like ’em ... I despise them,” Stephane told Postmedia Network the day after he and his son were sent home from Vietnam. “I will not be eating ducks. I will not be eating ducks for supper. Never will I have a duck poutine. We don’t connect anymore ... I used to eat duck and there was no animosity, but now? It’s major.”

The pair was eliminated after Stephane failed to corral 20 ducks from a flock of 300 into his pen. Feeling the extreme heat, the team took a four-hour penalty and were sent home at the Mekong Lodge Pit Stop.

Stephane and Antoine are the second team to be ousted in Season 4 following best friends Anthony and Brandon, who were axed in the series debut.

We caught up with Stephane and Antoine in Toronto to talk about missed opportunities and why their motto came back to haunt them.

Stephane, you helped other teams complete the duck challenge and no one seemed to reciprocate. Did you think helping the other teams was a mistake?

“We’ve talked about it a lot ... absolutely. I was helping out the other teams, expecting some kind of help in return and that didn’t materialize. So yes, if I were to do this challenge again, I would do things differently...”

What was your initial reaction to the duck challenge?

Antoine: “It sounded very straight forward on paper. When we read the Roadblock it was instantaneous. I said, ‘Dad, you’re taking this one. It doesn’t sound too hard...’ We didn’t account for the fact that the ducks could be stubborn, that he would be under 53-degree heat in the beating sun. It ended up being harder than we expected, but that was the case for all the teams there ... no one really understands how hard it was.”

Is your motto still: If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen?

Antoine: “I love that you brought that up. I reread that the day the episode aired and I thought, ‘How ironic to be eliminated because of the heat.’ Clearly, we had to get out of the kitchen.”

Who is the strongest team that’s still in the race and who is the weakest?

Antoine: “I think you can tell from last night’s episodes that Anne and Tanya are really tired ... But another team I think is underperforming is Joel and Ashley. If we’re talking strong teams, you have to look at Jillian and Emmett — they’re kicking butt — and Steph and Kristen are doing well also ... but it’s hard to say. I never would have predicted that we would do so well in the first two legs and then come crashing down so fast in the third.”

Stephane: “Jillian and Emmett, and Steph and Kristen are the strong teams. In terms of the weaker teams, maybe Kate and Kelly. Sometimes their strategy seems a bit off, but then again, who are we to judge?”

Stéphane and Antoine the father and son team of the Amazing Race Canada came in this morning to talk about being eliminated and their experience on the show. Stéphane credited his downfall to those stubborn ducks. Antoine thinks his dad was helpful to the other teams and didn't realize that the other team members didn’t help him. Stéphane talks about challenges working in 54 degree weather, his body temperature rose to 104 degrees, at one point running with an ice pack on his neck. All in all they loved the experience and what it did for their relationship. They say they would jump at the chance to take part in the Amazing Race Canada again.

STÉPHANE AND ANTOINE SAY TAKING A PENALTY ON ‘THE AMAZING RACE CANADA’ WAS NOT ‘GIVING UP’
Stéphane and Antoine Tétreault say taking a penalty in Vietnam was not ‘giving up’ as they had no other option.

The father and son team decided they couldn’t continue the Roadblock that required Stéphane to herd 20 ducks into a pen when the extreme heat started taking a toll on him.

“Three hours in total sunshine, 53 degrees, no clouds, it got the best of me,” says Stéphane.

One of the reasons it took Stéphane longer to complete the Roadblock was because he was also helping the other teams separate their ducks into the pen.

“I started helping the other teams thinking that they would help back. Unfortunately that did not materialize.”

 Antoine, who was watching from the sideline, wasn’t happy with his dad’s decision.

“We’re very nice people, we like to help people out, that’s how we are in real life. I think in the context of the ‘Race’ you have to be smart about how you help people and I think that’s what was frustrating for me. I think the mistake my dad made, it was not helping people, it was not making it clear, ‘Hey I’m helping you (and) after you are done let’s do mine.’”

Stéphane was still working at the challenge when all the other teams left and made a decision he could no longer continue as it was a threat to his health.

“There was no other option. My body was shutting down,” says Stéphane. “I was really delusional. It was getting very dangerous to my health.”

After being assessed by medics (something that fellow racer Tanya also needed) and having a chance to cool down, Stéphane and Antoine decided to continue. Antoine picked up the slack in the following coconut Detour and carried both backpacks to make it easier on his dad.

“He couldn’t do much and I knew it and I was just like, ‘You know what it’s my turn to push through so let me just power through this challenge’ and that’s what I did. It allowed us to check into the mat … I told my dad,  ‘I don’t care if we have to wait hours until you recuperate until we get started on the Detour but I will not walk to the mat and accept two penalties.’”

But despite the difficulties in Vietnam, both Stéphane and Antoine say running ‘The Amazing Race Canada’ was an experience like none other.   

“It was life-changing,” says Stéphane.

“I’ve done some really cool stuff in my life … but when I think about the ‘Race’ I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun as I did during that period in time,” echoes Antoine.

Running the ‘Race’ together was also especially meaningful for the father and son.

“Nobody will be able to understand the bond that’s been created, what we went through, the emotions, the compassion. Me seeing (Antoine push),” says Stéphane.

“(My dad) had the chance to show me what he’s got and I’m very proud of that and I think I had the chance to show him what I’ve got and it just makes us very proud of each other,” adds Antoine.

“I think that’s the best thing you can ask for and that’s brought us a lot closer.”
