TORONTO, Aug. 6, 2013 /CNW/ - At the conclusion of tonight's episode of CTV's THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, it was revealed that Kristen and Darren, the dating couple from Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, were the third team eliminated from the competition series. After falling behind in the first challenge, the outdoor enthusiasts were forced to take the last flight to Carcross, Yukon, which left them struggling to catch-up with the other teams. In the end, it was Kristen and Darren's decision to perform the "supply run" detour instead of using their express pass which resulted in their last place finish to the mat.

When asked why they didn't use the express pass, Kristen said, "Handing in an express pass without really trying a challenge is kind of like copping out. Why not give it a shot, why not try, why not experience what that challenge has to offer instead of taking off? It doesn't seem like a good choice because; I don't understand why you wouldn't just want to experience everything you can."

Next week on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA (airing Monday, Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and live on CTV Mobile), the teams head to Regina, SK, where they get buried by lentils, then drilled by the RCMP. And the first double U-Turn of the Race sends the teams into a panic. The remaining competitors vying for the historic half a million dollar grand prize are:

• HAL and JOANNE - Married "BodyBreak" Fitness Icons
• HOLLY and BRETT - Married Doctors
• JET and DAVE - Best Friends
• JODY and CORY - Brothers
• TIM SR. and TIM JR. - Father and Son
• VANESSA and CELINA - Sisters

The action continues online tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 10 a.m. ET), with the digital companion series INSIDE THE RACE WITH BLACKBERRY. Hosted by Danielle McGimsie (@MissDMcG and Teddy Wilson @TeddyWilson), tomorrow's episode features Vanessa and Celina, sisters from Ottawa, ON as they join the hosts for an exclusive BBM video chat.

Anchoring  CTV's Summer 2013 schedule, THE AMAZING RACE CANADA airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and live on CTV Mobile (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times), as well as on demand across CTV's digital platforms: including CTV.ca, the CTV App, the CTV Mobile channel on Bell Mobile TV, and through video on demand partners such as Bell Fibe TV following the broadcast.
