TORONTO, Aug. 6, 2015 /CNW/ - Following tonight's episode, all eight
teams will keep on racing to Sudbury, Ontario in next week's episode of
THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, airing Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and CTV GO. Father and daughter duo Simi and Ope from Burnaby,
B.C. struggled through the series' first ever Face Off challenge, which
had teams play kayak hockey in the frigid waters of the Atlantic, off
the coast of Quebéc's Magdalen Islands. Falling behind the pack, Simi
and Ope arrived last to the Pit Stop at Grosse Île moments after Neil
and Kristin, but were spared from elimination.

Episode 305 Recap


From the Pit Start in Halifax, all eight teams travelled to the Magdalen
Islands, one of Québec's best kept secrets in the Gulf of the St.
Lawrence, known for its agriculture and stunning landscapes. Once
there, teams had to correctly pack a Chevy Colorado with gear needed
for the leg, and drive themselves to Plage de la Dune du Sud. At the
Road Block, teams brought out their inner children in a sand castle
building competition. Neil and Kristin struggled through the challenge,
and after Kristin spent too long in the cold sand they made a visit to
the emergency room to check out muscle cramps in her legs. Teams then
made their way to Monument aux Pêcheurs to compete in the series' first
ever Face Off challenge - a head-to-head game of kayak hockey in the
frigid waters of the Atlantic, where the winning team continued on,
while the losing team had to wait for the next team to battle. After
Simi and Ope struggled through the Face Off, losing to four teams, they
decided to take a four-hour time penalty. Due to Kristin's leg injury,
she and Neil also decided to take the penalty instead of competing in
kayak hockey.



At the Detour, teams chose between ride it or pull it. In ride it,
racers had to ride a horse through an obstacle course in eight minutes
or less. In pull it, teams worked on a family farm, where they first
rolled a 75-pound hay bale from the pasture to the farm, and then
milked a cow by hand, each filling a one litre bottle with milk. Teams
then made their way to L'escalier de La Pointe Aux Meules, where they
were warned of the double U-turn ahead. Gino and Jesse U-turned Brent
and Sean, who then chose to U-Turn Nic and Sabrina, in hopes they
wouldn't be the last team to the Pit Stop. Gino and Jesse were the
first to arrive at the Pit Stop at Grosse Île, winning the leg. Host
Jon Montgomery greeted them with their leg prize - a trip for two from
Air Canada to any one of their Canadian Destinations, plus free gas for
a year from Petro Canada.
