The Amazing Race Canada - We Love Weenies!

 


Discussing Ep. 8.3 - With JeM starting off at second place behind Franella, I'm hoping they can keep the momentum going. But with Beveron and CoBren on their tails, it's going to be tough!


Oh, damn! They're still racing! Pretty good editing from last week...I thought they were done. No rest for the wicked, it seems.


Memorize four different orders and deliver them to these locations? That's a lot of pedaling if you get it wrong and have to go back! At least there are two people pedaling on those bikes and not just one.

And I like it when we see the camera crew. Kudos to them for doing a great job filming!

"I just realized that if I just get Jesse to stand at the door and then I can just yell all the orders to him." 

As opposed to memorizing them all?

Brilliant! Just brilliant! I chose them for a reason! 

Damn it, Beveron! You stole JeM's idea!

Did that lady just take the order and not say anything?!? 

😆

Watching them all trying to memorize the orders...it's painful to watch!

Ohhhh!!! What are you doing, JeM? Is this a strategy thing? I should hope....I SHOULD HOPE...that CoBren will reward JeM with an Express Pass!

I should hope!!!

Wait...what?!? YOU can provide that help to CoBren and, if they're smart, CoBren will provide you with an Express Pass in return?!? 

YOU?!? 

You think YOU deserve that Express Pass, Beveron?!? 

YOU DID NOTHING!!!

YOU PROVIDED NOTHING!!!

It was JeM who gave both CoBren AND YOU the strategy to make that first challenge easier! You wouldn't have come up with that strategy on your own! Don't you dare make it out like you two are even worthy of that Express Pass over JeM.

You're not!!!

Now I'm fired up!

Ahhhh, the wiener jokes and puns! So punny!

Yes!!! In 1st place! Their strategy paid off. If only they can keep this up!


Franella: "You guys want a map? You need a map?"

CoBren: "Yeah!"

Franella: "Ok...in exchange!"

CoBren: "No! We've been helping teams out all day....for nothing!"

BURN!!!

You did it wrong, Franella! You did it wrong! Ya see....JeM did it right! Even Beveron did it right. They offered help with no HINT of expecting that Express Pass as a reward. Now, CoBren aren't dumb! They know that others will help them in order to curry favour with them for an EP. But there are ways to do it that don't come off as manipulative and selfish. And the way YOU did it was NOT the way! 

CoBren: "It would come back around, though, if you help us."

Franella: "You are a persuasive guy...I like it!"

What?!? Stick to your convictions, CoBren! They held the map hostage. THEY HELD THE MAP HOSTAGE!!! You better not give Franella an EP over JeM! JeM helped you out of the goodness of their hearts....and for an EP but that is beside the point!

What the hell are you doing, Broadway? A jig? Is that what that was? A jig?

Pfffft!

I'd show you a real jig but that would just break the internet, wouldn't it!

Oh, forget that! I'd rather assemble a bicycle than listen to a fishing story and then try and put the flies in order based on that story!

I'm hoping Jesse's experience with fly-fishing will help them in this challenge. Because if it doesn't, they will lose their lead and fall WAAAAAAAAAY behind if they have to go and do the bike challenge instead.

The fact that there are people watching as you do the challenge makes it even more nerve wracking. At this point, I'd have preferred the fly-fishing challenge.

It kills me how everyone on this show has apparently assembled a bicycle at some point in their lives.

Like....what are the chances?

Except Power Couple...apparently. Which is actually refreshing, to be honest.

But yeah....if you can't even pump a tire up, how the hell are you going to assemble a whole bike?

Did Beyonce and Jay-Z never have to assemble a bike before either? Hmmmmm!

Wow! D&D have the handle bars on the wrong way! I mean....how do you miss that?

Okay, this woman scares me! 😱

I don't mind that JeM helped out Broadway and Cali. I just hope they don't lose momentum and drop out of the top 3!

Okay...maybe I'm a bit annoyed that they helped out Broadway. I mean...calm down, man! What are you doing? 

Alright, I suppose I could understand why he got a little excited. This challenge seemed to be right up his alley.

Still....calm down, man!

"We're good at memorization and running isn't hard for us!"

Okay there, Miss Usain Photographic Memory Bolt! We'll see how far your bragging takes you!

Good job, Broadway! You earned that win!

Bah! Beveron beat us by one place! But JeM are still in it!

Jon: "Who's the team to watch out for?"

Beveron: "Us!"

I hate to admit it, but she's not wrong. They've finished top 3 since the start so...yeah...they are a threat. But JeM ain't no slouches either!

"We took beginner salsa dance for a six week duration...twice!"

Well, if ever there was a motivation for me to nail down my salsa lessons at this moment in time, it's to at least beat Power Couple in that category!

Good on both CeTy and Cali....given their performances as of late, it's nice that neither of them are stuck at the bottom on this round.

No! No....don't tell me that D&D lose this to Power Couple because D&D got lost! 

"I'm feeling...honestly...shocked!"

Why, exactly? Because your superior memorization and running skills didn't save you? 

Hit the bricks, Power Couple! 

At the end of the day though, they should be proud. They ran a good race and it's the bike thing that slowed them down. Either way, they're out!

Overall, this was a good episode. A lot of intrigue, especially with CoBren, Beveron, JeM and Franella. They're the main players at this point.

And looking at the preview for next week's episode....

Jully and Kathy are back? 

What?!?

A second chance? 

Interesting! We'll see if they make good use of it as one of the challenges is in JeM's hometown, so they have home court advantage!
