The Amazing Race Canada - Feel The Fear & Do It Anyway

 

Discussing Ep. 8.4 - So I think this is the episode where CoBren HAVE TO give up their Express Passes...and I hoping that JeM is at least one recipient of them. 

I hope!

And we start off with this bombshell of an announcement from Jon!

So Cali, D&D and Broadway are all out of the competition because of COVID? 

Damn! That really, really sucks! And it's just a bitter reminder that this pandemic isn't over just yet. I really hope that all three teams are healthy and especially for Broadway, considering Catherine is suffering from cancer. I hope that, should Amazing Race happen again next year, these teams are automatically enrolled in the competition. They deserve it!

I'm also hoping that these are the only casualties of COVID on this season.

But with tragedy also come opportunity. 

So Power Couple and Kull are back in it! We'll see what they do with this second chance!

"Today is the day we get an Express Pass from Brendan and Connor!"

What? Why? Was there an agreement that was not televised between these two teams? I will laugh a hearty and mighty laugh if CoBren completely shut these two out of the EP distribution.

They did NOTHING to help CoBren!

NOTHING!

Yes!

YES!!!

I knew it! I knew JeM's generosity during that wiener challenge would pay off! Good on CoBren for recognizing that and giving them an EP. But their line of 'not trusting' certain teams is curious. 

Who don't they trust?

"It would be great if Beverly and Veronica did not get that Express Pass! I think they're just a little bit too overconfident."

BAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

I love it! The two teams that stand in JeM's way are out for each other! I love it!

I'm hoping neither Franella nor Beveron get that last EP! I would have liked it if they gave it to Cali or even D&D. The only other team is CeTy. 

But by all means ladies....fight it out amongst yourselves!

What?!?

Damn it, CoBren! Frenella didn't deserve an EP either! Well, I suppose I still get to laugh at Beveron since they were so sure they were getting an EP and they didn't get one. But neither of them deserved one. I really would have hoped that CoBren gave one to CeTy. 

"They haven't shown the character that we're looking for. What can you do?" - CoBren

Oh, good grief! So we traded in Broadway, who danced and stretched every five seconds, for Kull, with Jully singing a tune every five seconds!

Why can't y'all just race? Just shut up and RACE! You don't have sing and dance every time the camera is on ya!

Yes! JeM made it to second place! At this point, it doesn't mean a whole lot but still, I'll take this small victory!

I kind of laugh at how they filmed the cowgirl lady saying "I'm sorry" as though it was some dramatic moment on the show! LOL!

I love the drama developing between these two teams! Franella is getting so annoyed with Beveron and they don't want to help them! 

"I can't buy him a ranch...he doesn't even cut the grass at home!"

😄

Cold! So damn cold! Franella left Beveron high and dry, sort of alluding to helping them and then ditching them once they completed the challenge! I will say that that might work against them in the future. Beveron have shown to be a strong team and there are things like U-turns (I think) still in play so Francella might have shot themselves in the foot by not helping Beveron.

Whatever happened to girls doin' it for themselves? Whatever happened to the Sisterhood?

😁

"Do you want any help from me or you got this?

***silence***

Okay...I'm going down to the river then!"

Ahhhh...siblings! What can you do?

😄

"That was a crazy fast time!"

When the instructor at the course praises you for your fast time, you know you nailed it! CoBren are seriously killing it in this round. They've been knocking it out of the park time and time again!

Good on CeTy for catching up! That's the crazy thing about this race is that it can turn around for anyone on any one challenge!

😲

Whoa! Kull beat Beveron? Are you kidding me? Beveron have TOTALLY dropped the ball on this leg of the race. Perhaps Franella was right about them and their overconfidence!

Yes! Top 3 at the very least. Some hometown luck sure helped though!

It always seems to be the pattern on this show, where competitors tout how they've done a particular challenge, or something like it, in their past and so they think they have an edge...but when it comes time to do the challenge, they suck at it! Like...don't say anything about how you've done it before because it just puts all that more pressure on ya to ace the challenge when you clearly can't!

Well done, CeTy! Their slow and steady approach got them a higher ranking than they've ever had! Hopefully they can make themselves into serious contenders from here on out!

Juuuuuuuussssttt made it! LOL! Though I could have done without all the grunting and "for MJ" and all that talk. Just race the damn bike, will ya?

Ya know what I was thinking right now watching Beveron struggle with this challenge? 

It would have been nice to have an Express Pass right about now! 

HA!

Damn! Jahmeek beat even CoBren's time! Not bad on his second attempt. Now it's a race to the finish line for both Beveron and Power Couple!

Oh, how the mighty have fallen! They were Top 3 since the beginning. Veronica claimed they were the team to watch out for! And here they are, almost eliminated! Indeed, their overconfidence got the better of them!

Shut the hell up! Shut...the hell...up!!! 

You've got to be kidding me! Once again, this jabroni couple is saved from elimination! 

Like....no! 

No!

Sigh!

If they come in last a 3rd time...that's it! They got more chances than most teams ever do on Amazing Race and never deserved all the second chances in the first place,  especially considering the fact they took a spot that belonged to Cali, D&D and Broadway.

In some ways, I'm glad that Beveron didn't get eliminated. I'm beginning to like their rivalry with Franella and I want to see some drama and backstabbing between the two teams. 

CoBren is definitely the team to beat in this race and I'm hoping that JeM can somehow pull ahead. With CoBren, Franella and JeM each having an EP, the race is still up in the air between all of them!

We'll see!
