The last pit stop was at the Wat Devarajkunchorn temple in Bangkok, Thailand. Teams seem to be released in front of a hotel somewhere in Bangkok in the following order:
1. | Adam & Andrea | 21:02 | |
2. | Andrea & Ebonie | 23:50 | +2:48 |
3. | Sam & Paul | 23:51 | +2:49 |
4. | Kenneth & Ryan | 23:54 | +2:52 |
5. | Karen & Bert | 00:50 | +3:48 |
6. | Korey & Ivana | 03:16 | +6:14 |
ROUTE INFO
Fly to our nation's
capital, Ottawa, Ontario!
Once there, make your
way to the Ottawa 2017
Cauldron and search for
your next clue.
You have one loonie on your BMO CashBack
MasterCard for this leg
of the Race.
Caution: Double U-Turn
Ahead!
At the airport Adam & Andrea talk to Sam & Paul and Andrea & Ebonie. They form an U-turn alliance and decide that they will U-turn the other teams.
All teams travel on the same flight to Ontario, via Hong Kong and Toronto.
Once they land teams must make their way to City Hall where the Mayor will give them their next clue. They reach him in the following order:
1. Korey & Ivana
2. Kenneth & Ryan
3. Andrea & Ebonie
?. Adam & Andrea
?. Karen & Bert
?. Sam & Paul
This clue directs teams to Hog's Back Falls. Here they will find a fleet of sponsor cars. Using the surround vision technology in the cars teams must park five of them in the marked spots to form one letter of the word CANADA.
The task seems fairly easy. But I think the editors left a lot on the cutting room floor. For example when Korey & Ivana park their last car we see that three of their other cars are parked with at least one wheel on or outside the markings. But in the final aerial shot they are all within their markings. So I assume they had to move those cars, which probably explains why they dropped some placements.
Teams complete this task in the following order:
1(+1) Kenneth & Ryan
2(+1) Andrea & Ebonie
3(-2) Korey & Ivana
4(+?) Adam & Andrea
5(+?) Sam & Paul
6(+?) Karen & Bert
ROAD BLOCK
Who's ready to let it
ride?
In this road block contestants must visit the RCMP Musical Ride. They will each be given a horse which they must carefully groom from the front to, and including, the butt. Then they must tack their steed to the precise standards of the RCMP. Finally they can mount up and ride a short distance to receive their next clue.
During the ride they have two experienced riders flanking them and their horse. Probably to make things look good and to keep any mishaps from happening.
On their way to the road block Andrea & Ebonie just follow Kenneth & Ryan.
"
Andrea & Ebonie are always following us in vehicles", Kenneth & Ryan are not happy
"
That is a horse", Korey had a knack for stating the obvious, he probably meant that there is a lot of horse to the horse he has to groom
"
Let's hope people like us enough to not U-turn us", Sam fidgets while he waits for Paul as they are last
Teams complete this road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock):
1(+0) | Kenneth & Ryan* | (2-3) | |
2(+0) | Andrea* & Ebonie | (3-2) | |
3(+1) | Adam* & Andrea | (3-2) | |
4(-1) | Korey* & Ivana | (3-2) | |
5(+1) | Karen* & Bert | (3-2) | |
6(-1) | Sam & Paul* | (2-3) | |
DETOUR
Detour: "Tiptoe through
the Tulips" or "Get the
Picture"
Tiptoe through the
Tulips: Construct a
flower cart and fill it with
an arrangement of Tulips
to receive your next clue
...
The tulip detour takes place in the Commissioners park (17min 12km). Here teams must assemble a flower cart and then recreate a tulip display. The tulip bouquets they need can be found in buckets placed throughout the park.
The picture detour takes place at the Canada Council art bank (9min 4km). Here teams must select a binder listing 20 different works of art. They must then use a database to locate these works of art in the 36'000 sq feet warehouse, and photograph each of them.
Everybody selects the tulip detour. But first they have to drive there, which seems to be not that easy. Andrea & Ebonie try their usual follow Kenneth & Ryan strategy. But they guys have grown irritated by this and manages to loose the girls by a red light. But the joke is on them because in the end the girls arrive at the park before the boys.
Sam & Paul are shown asking a local for directions, and that seems to be smart because they are the first to arrive.
It seems as if the picture detour was fairly quick.
Teams arrive to the tulip detour in the following order:
1(+5) Sam & Paul
2(+0) Andrea & Ebonie
3(+2) Karen & Bert
4(-3) Kenneth & Ryan
5(-2) Adam & Andrea
6(-2) Korey & Ivana
"
Everyone must have picked the other detour", Sam & Paul arrive first at the tulip detour
"
Oh, this is easy Paul", Sam looks at the example flower cart
Teams complete the detour in the following order:
1(+2) Karen & Bert, tulip
2(-1) Sam & Paul, tulip
3(-1) Andrea & Ebonie, tulip
4(+1) Adam & Andrea, picture
5(-1) Kenneth & Ryan, tulip
6(+0) Korey & Ivana, tulip
5(+0) Kenneth & Ryan, picture, they leave just as Andrea & Ebonie arrive
6(+0) Andrea & Ebonie, picture
ROUTE INFO
Drive yourselves to the
ByWard Market and
search near BeaverTails
for your next clue.
Caution: Double U-turn
Ahead!
Here Andrea & Ebonie have serious problems finding their way. They get very lost and loose a lot of time.
"
Lost is our middle name today", Andrea of Andrea & Ebonie
Teams arrive at the market (13min 6km) and the U-turn board in the following order:
1(+0) Karen & Bert
2(+0) Sam & Paul, U-turns Kenneth & Ryan
3(+1) Adam & Andrea
4(+1) Korey & Ivana, U-turns Andrea & Ebonie
5(+0) Kenneth & Ryan, as Korey & Ivan are busy U-turning
6(-3) Andrea & Ebonie
"
A blank U-turn board! This is the greatest feeling ever", Paul
"
We've been waiting 6 legs to do that", Paul after they U-turned Kenneth & Ryan
At the U-turn board Adam & Andrea are surprised that Andrea & Ebonie haven't U-turned another team. They do not know that the girls are seriously lost and haven't been here yet. Adam & Andrea fret about this for a while but eventually decide that since the girls didn't honor their alliance and U-turned another team then they do not need to do so either.
"
They left a while ago, but they could've gotten lost, bad decision on our part?", Andrea has second thoughts as they drive away
The clue here directs teams to drive themselves to the Canadian museum of history and search inside the main entrance for their next clue.
As Kenneth & Ryan leave the U-turn board Ryan spot his brother walking on the street.
"
We just saw Johnny mustard", Kenneth
This is not as much of a coincidence as one might think. Johnny lives in Ottawa and a local TV station had published pictures of the U-turn board the day before so he knew they would be in the area.
Teams arrive at the museum in the following order:
1(+1) Sam & Paul
2(-1) Karen & Bert
3(+0) Adam & Andrea
4(+0) Korey & Ivana
5(+0) Kenneth & Ryan
6(+0) Andrea & Ebonie
Route info: How Canadian are you?
In this task contestants will each be given a Canadian citizenship test. All tests differ slightly. They must answer at least 15 of 20 questions correctly to pass. They have to redo the test until they earn a passing score.
Teams can also examine the, huge, history exhibition which I assume holds some of the answers.
We learn that Ivana's parents had to take this test when they immigrated from Bosnia as she was 12.
"
It's challenging because I don't know what I don't know", Bert struggles with the test
"
Who made the Canadian National Anthem? Céline Dion?, Ryan
Andrea & Ebonie arrive to the museum as Ryan is still taking the test, this adds a bit of pressure to the room.
Teams pass the test in the following order:
1(+2) Adam & Andrea, Adam on his 2nd attempt
2(-1) Sam & Paul, Paul on his 8th attempt
3(+1) Korey & Ivana, Korey on his 4th and Ivana on her 6th attempt
4(-2) Karen & Bert, Bert on his 14th attempt
5(+0) Kenneth & Ryan (number of attempts not shown)
6(+0) Andrea & Ebonie (number of attempts not shown)
