Craig vo:
We've turned canada into
one giant obstacle course.
Let's go do this.
Craig vo:
Teams are competing
for the title
Of ultimate challenge champions
And a trip to the
olympic games, paris 2024.
Come on. Go, go, go!
Nikki vo:
Last round, team kish
swept all three challenges
Surging up the leaderboard
into first place.
[in unison] kish!
That stung.
Nikki vo:
But her rivals,
Team luke and gilmore
are right behind them.
Luke:
Every second matters!
Nikki vo:
And team blue is
at the bottom,
But their new coach, waneek,
hopes to inspire a comeback.
Waneek:
Go, go, go, go!
I actually think I can teach
them how to fight better.
Craig vo:
Now, for the last round
of the regular season
We head to the heart
of québec city.
[cannons boom]
Oh my goodness, yes!
Craig vo:
The four surviving
teams will battle it out
At some of canada's
most iconic locations...
Come on meaux!
Craig vo:
Are our most demanding
obstacles yet.
It's very heavy.
Nikki vo:
Which teams can fight their
way into the semi-finals?
And who will get knocked out?
Fight until the very end!
Nikki vo:
Canada's ultimate challenge
starts right now!
Craig vo:
For round six,
We're in the only
walled city in canada,
Québec city.
These streets have a
history as a battleground.
And here our teams will clash
to see who makes it through
To the semi-finals.
If team blue wanna win
Or they wanna
keep going,
This isn't just
about participating.
We need to up our game.
It's been a long
climb for team kish
To get to that
number one spot.
I mean, that's where
we like to sit
Where we look down
on everybody else.
I hope team kish enjoyed
the view from the top
'cause it won't
last very long
'cause we're coming for them.
Luke:
We're deep in this competition.
I want my team
to put so much
effort in.
This train is moving right
now and it will not stop
Until we're
celebrating in paris.
Players, coaches,
This is the last round
of the regular season.
Only three teams will
move on to the semi-finals
And one will be sent home.
Blue's strategy is to
fight as hard as we can,
Leave it all on the
competition ground,
So if we do walk
away from this,
We can walk away knowing
we left it all here.
Bradley:
I don't want to go home
Because it's a once in
a lifetime experience
And I don't want it to end.
I'm not tired.
I'm ready
to do this.
Bring it on!
Nikki vo:
And, the team with
the most points
At the end of this round
wins the regular season.
They'll also win a huge
advantage for the semi-finals,
Which we will reveal
later this round.
Let's get to our
next challenge.
The fairmont le chateau
frontenac was built in 1893,
One of the first
chateau-style hotels
Built by the canadian railway
companies to encourage tourism.
But in this solo challenge,
Players you will not be
travelling on the inside
Of the building
The way the architects of this
historical hotel had intended.
You'll be rappelling
down the outside.
Yes!
[teams cheer]
What a twist.
Oh, I'm feeling
absolutely amped
about this.
Welcome to canada's ultimate
chateau rappel.
Craig vo:
In this solo challenge,
From the 16th floor terrace
Of the beautiful
le chateau frontenac,
Players must calm their
nerves to step over the ledge
And rappel down a terrifying
16 storeys to the garden.
But that's not all...
They must use a
series of ladders
To climb the outside six-storey
tower of the iconic hotel,
Cross over the roof and
rappel down to the ground
To hit the big red button.
The fastest player
wins six points.
Coaches, it's strategy time.
Craig vo:
You have to select
the solo player
Who can calm their nerves and
conquer this iconic building.
The clock starts now!
There's only two of
you left for solos.
Of course it's heights.
Of course it's
heights, rach.
So for that reason I'm
gonna go with chris.
Chris has never
rappelled into anything.
This is all new to him.
I just knew that he
didn't have fear
And I think fear was probably
the biggest challenge.
You have to go down
again and it's a ladder
So most people will
use their feet
But 'cause you have
such strong upper body,
I think you can just,
like, muscle it down.
Yeah, okay.
-'kay?
Zalie:
I've never rappelled before
But I don't feel any
fear in this challenge.
If you guys believe in me,
Then I would love to take
this challenge, I'm 100%.
You got that long,
lean athleticness, um,
That I think will be
very beneficial for this,
But you are gonna
have to know
That you're gonna be
hitting that climb
And it's gonna be hard.
Warnick, you've
rappelled before?
Yes.
It's your day today.
Done.
-Rip it, warnick.
I'll rip it.
I'll rip it for you guys.
I'll bring it.
I've been waiting
for a competition
That I thought was
tailored more to me,
My skills, my background
as a firefighter.
And now the day has come.
You have to combine
tactical mode
And psycho mode for this.
Okay.
Luke:
Take risks. Go for it.
I don't know much
about rappelling
But I think there's one
person here that does:
Obie.
I'm confident in obie because
of all the experience he's had
With firefighting and
rappelling and ladders.
This is literally my-my job.
I'm going against
another firefighter
today, uh,
Team luke's
alana who I call
"w*r machine".
She's got almost
sixteen years of service,
Gonna be a lieutenant.
She-she knows
what she's doing
So she's gonna be
stiff competition.
This is all me today.
I'll bring the pain.
Time's up!
Coaches, send your solo
players to the starting line
Of the
fairmont le chateau frontenac.
Cuddly from team kish
is up first.
Let's go cuddly!
-Cuddly!
You got it, chris!
[tense dramatic music]
Cuddly, you ready?
Yes, ma'am.
It's game time!
[air horn blaring]
Kish:
Sit back, let's go, sit back.
Sit back, keep going.
Hand by your hip.
Hand by your hip.
[dramatic music]
[cuddly grunts]
Nikki vo:
Cuddly not moving
too fast here.
Cuddly:
I think I'm a bit
of a quick learner
But it's
just scary.
[dramatic music]
Nikki vo:
Looks like he's finally
getting the hang of the rappel,
Picking up some speed.
Keep it up!
Nikki vo:
Cuddly now moving on
to the ladder section.
He's looking to
make up some time.
Kish:
Keep going, keep going!
Make sure you use your legs and
arms working together, okay?
Nikki vo:
He's making easy work
of these six ladders.
Finish strong!
[team cheers]
[dramatic music]
Nikki vo:
Making his way up
the hanging ladder,
Cuddly using all the muscles
in his body to stay steady.
Reach! There you go!
Nikki vo:
Look at this technique,
Stepping to the
side of the ladder
And using his upper
body strength
To pull himself
up to the roof.
Good job, chris!
Keep it up, buddy!
Craig vo:
Cuddly now on the
last section.
Yeah cuddly!
-Let's go, cuddly!
Here we go,
buddy, let's go!
Holy smokes, cuddly's
making his way down.
He's on the final
rappel right now.
[team cheers]
Dustin:
Come on, let's go!
Kish:
Come on, cuddly.
Go, go, go!
[team cheers]
Craig vo:
With a time of four
minutes and ten seconds,
Cuddly sets the time to beat.
[dramatic music]
Nikki vo:
Firefighter alana from
team luke is up next.
Alana:
I'm competing against
a fellow firefighter
On another team, uh, obie.
He's a strong dude.
I love him to death,
But sorry, brotha,
you're going down.
Nikki:
Alana, are you ready?
Made for this.
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
Here we go.
[dramatic music]
Luke:
Great job.
I'll see you down there.
Alana: Yeah, yeah.
-Luke: Get after it.
[dramatic music]
Bradley:
Let's go w*r machine!
Get down here!
Nikki vo:
Wow! Alana using a free
rappel for extra speed
And not using the wall.
Keep going!
Luke:
Beautiful, beautiful.
The second ladder I'm
just doing fireman style.
Let's go!
Vinny:
You got this!
Nikki vo:
Now on the rope ladder.
Up the ladder quick!
Nikki vo:
Alana is on pace to
beat cuddly's time,
But she's slowing a
bit here on the roof.
[team cheers]
Nikki vo:
Now she's up.
Beautiful!
Nikki vo:
And unlike cuddly,
She's using the rungs
of this ladder.
Oh my goodness, yes!
Keep it up warnick!
-Come on warnick!
Let's go warnick!
-Let's go warnick!
[team cheers]
Craig vo:
Alana really picking
up the pace here.
She has to finish in less than
30 seconds to beat cuddly.
[team cheers]
Craig vo:
She's struggling to
get to the bottom.
Touch the plinth,
touch the plinth.
[team cheers]
Craig vo:
And she's just shy of
beating that top time.
A valiant effort,
But alana lands
in second place
By a mere two seconds.
Could I have shaved
off two seconds?
Yes, I could've shaved
off two seconds.
It stings!
Craig vo:
Next up, zalie
from team blue.
It's a crucial run
As they're at the
bottom of the leaderboard
And in desperate
need of big points.
Waneek:
Be courageous,
be brave.
Go for it.
Zalie:
I've never rappelled
before but I'm confident.
I'm not afraid of heights.
I'm able to learn a
new skill very easily.
This is definitely
my challenge.
Nikki:
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
Let's go!
-Let's go zalie!
Mitchell:
No fear, no fear!
Uh oh!
[dramatic music swells]
Waneek:
Is she okay?
You okay?
[dramatic music]
Nikki vo:
Zalie for team blue
Has slipped and is
stuck on the side
Of le chateau frontenac
Sixteen storeys
above the ground.
Oh, that's terrifying.
You got it zalie!
Come on.
It's okay.
There we go.
Okay, here you go.
Let's go!
Good job, zalie, yeah!
Nikki vo:
A rocky start,
But zalie now using
the free rappel.
My strategy was just feed
as much rope as you can
And just let yourself fall.
Nikki vo:
She knows she has
time to make up.
Showing no fear.
C'mon, let's go,
let's go, let's go!
Nice!
Nice! You did it!
Nikki vo:
Zalie is more than 30 seconds
behind cuddly's time to beat.
Go, go, go!
Nikki vo:
She has major time to
make up on these ladders.
Let's push it on this one.
Got good momentum.
Keep that momentum.
[dramatic music]
Waneek:
Go, go, go!
Louis: Let's go!
-Mitchell: You got it, zalie!
Waneek:
You got this, zal.
You know how to do this.
Let's go!
Craig vo:
Zalie has made up
some time here.
Now she's neck and neck
with cuddly and alana.
Team blue needs
this top finish.
Watch your step
on this drop.
Watch your step!
Oh!
Craig vo:
Zalie slips again.
Mitchell:
Keep going. You got it!
Craig vo:
She was doing so well.
Let's go, zalie!
Mitchell:
You got it!
Louis:
Let's go!
Craig vo:
Zalie of team blue is giving
it everything she has
Knowing your team is on
the brink of elimination,
Putting it all
on the line.
[team cheers]
Craig vo:
She dives for it!
With a time of four
minutes and 16 seconds,
That puts zalie in a
disappointing third place
When team blue needs
to pick up points.
I love you.
I felt like I gave every
single thing I had
But seeing the time I
felt good just knowing
That I went just as
fast as everyone else,
Like I was just as good,
Just a few more seconds off.
Craig vo:
Last up is another firefighter,
Obie from team gilmore.
Obie:
As a firefighter,
I was trained
as a rope tech.
I have many years
of, uh, experience
on rope.
This is something that's
finally in my wheelhouse.
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
Let's go, obie,
come on!
[dramatic music]
Meaux:
Come on, o!
Nice and quick, o,
nice and quick!
Nikki vo:
Obie kicking the wall
away using the free rappel
To fly down the face
of the frontenac,
Faster than any other player.
[team cheering]
Juls:
Keep it up! Keep it going!
Let's go, baby!
Come on obie,
here we go.
Sense of urgency.
Let's go.
Look at the big man move!
Let's freaking go, buddy!
Nikki vo:
Moving to the
rope ladder now,
His experience really
coming into play.
Get the tension on
the rope ladder.
Nikki vo:
Obie's flying up this thing,
Really outpacing the
leader cuddly right now.
One last push, obie,
one last push.
Here we go.
Come on o!
Craig vo:
Up and over the last roof,
Firefighter obie is
making unbelievable time.
He is ahead of everyone
else by over a minute.
Impressive!
[team cheering]
That's how
you represent!
Was that fast?
That was fast!
Craig vo:
A flawless run for firefighter
obie beating cuddly's time
By a minute,
Getting team gilmore
a big win
And a big six points.
After our first challenge
in québec city,
Let's take a look at the
ozempic leaderboard.
Obie's stellar performance
puts team gilmore in second,
Now one point away from
regaining the top spot
From team kish.
Team luke bumps
down to third
While zalie's
fourth place finish
Pushes team blue even
further into last place
And in extreme danger
of elimination.
Our next obstacle is
located within the walls
Of the highest point
in old québec city-
[cannons boom]
Craig vo:
La citadelle.
Team blue needs a first place
finish in this challenge
To make it out of this round.
We're down a-a
big deficit
And in order to stay
in this competition
We need two wins
And today we must
pull through.
[dramatic music swells]
Coaches, teams,
Welcome to the citadelle,
An active garrison of
the royal 22 regiment
That overlooks québec city.
The citadelle was constructed
over 300 years ago
To keep enemy troops
from entering the port.
Craig vo:
Players, these rampart
walls around you
Are an impressive
feat of engineering,
Towering more than
twenty feet overhead
And 4.6 kilometres long.
These walls are built
to keep people out
But in today's tandem challenge
you will have to build up
And summit the historic
walls around you.
Welcome to canada's ultimate
rampart rampage.
In this tandem challenge,
Two players from each
team have six single
And five double replica
citadelle blocks.
They must use these blocks to
elevate themselves high enough
To retrieve two flags.
Once they have both flags,
They must finish
a third section
To go up and over
the citadelle wall.
First the players and
coaches must strategize
On how to best
configure the blocks
To elevate themselves
up the wall.
How many and which blocks
they use is up to them.
For safety, when
climbing the blocks
Players cannot
use the handholds
Or it's a
one-minute penalty.
Not carrying the two collected
flags to the big red button
Will result in a dnf
and zero points.
Fastest tandem wins
the most points.
Coaches, players,
it is strategy time!
You have five minutes to
select the tandem players
Who have the brain and brawn
To get to the top
of these walls.
Remember, you
cannot use a tandem
That has already competed
since the player shuffle.
The clock starts now!
'kay listen, uh,
The people I'm picking
is kimber and chris.
That's who's doing
this challenge today.
Right to the point.
You guys are tall.
You guys are tall.
Yeah, the limbs help.
'kay, limbs help in this.
I think based on
the double blocks
We have to use obie again.
They're pretty fricking heavy
and that means kenny's up,
'cause we've already
used you two.
Waneek:
What combo?
Jesse:
I can go and mitchell.
You and anybody,
but what are your thoughts?
I want to know.
I have this 100%.
I haven't done a
tandem since the reset
And I wanna do this one.
Waneek:
Yes! Awesome. Okay.
And then whoever
else it is with,
I'm okay with that.
I believe that the
best combination
Is gonna be you and louis
Just because
he's very agile,
Can get up there and do
things really quickly
And if you need help
over the final thing,
He's strong enough
to help you do that.
Being super honest
devon mb jones,
It's been awhile
since I've let you go
And you're going today.
I feel underestimated
sometimes
And I think a big part of-of
joining this competition
Was for me to prove to
myself that I can do this.
So it doesn't matter
how old I am,
I can still do this.
Bradley, I feel like with the
bridge from the other day
You kind of have
a building mind.
You're gonna have to finagle
the engineering side of this.
Louis:
I think it's
building like this,
Two, two, one, one
'cause I can hop this
and I can hop this.
As long as you're comfortable
hopping that I can build,
You can climb and then I'll
start building the next one.
Exactly.
Bradley:
I think we have a two block,
A one block,
A two block and
then a one block
And then the
flag's right here,
And the same
thing over here.
Well, I think this is
what's gonna work,
You just have to move fast.
Basically, we're gonna
take the double blocks,
We're gonna make an l to start
with the double and double.
I got a different strategy
that'll probably work well too.
Okay, let's hear it.
You just need to get
three blocks high.
So we take one of the longer
ones and put it up there
And bring two of
the smaller ones.
My strategy for
this challenge
Is to use as
least blocks
as possible.
So, if we can get this
done in three blocks,
That's the game plan.
Do you think pulling up
this would tip over?
No.
Devon:
No and I'll be
there holding it.
Luke:
Bradley's strategy for this
Is definitely a little more
high risk, high reward.
Using one on each side of the
double blocks and two singles,
Minimal blocks,
more singles.
Okay, so I want you
guys to stack two
doubles this way,
Lengthwise,
not towards the wall.
On top of each other.
-Yes.
And then what's happened
Is that the other person's
gonna pass the single.
What I was gonna throw
out there is similar
But do a double
as a foundation,
Do another double
as a foundation
Then just singles,
Two singles on top,
that's three.
We can get up there and
if we need another single
Those are faster.
-I just think that-
Dustin:
So in-in my head,
I would go put the
double on the top
And then you put three singles
and just hoist yourself up.
Why are you fighting with-
-rachel: And it's lighter too.
It's lighter too.
[team arguing]
Because I'm...Because I'm-
[everyone overlapping
each other]
Listen. Guys, stop.
Listen.
This is me calling
the strategy,
This isn't me asking right
now what you guys think.
Understood?
Yeah.
Good.
If this fails,
I'll own it.
I always said that
from day one, okay.
I have a strategy.
I feel like it's
an efficient
strategy, um,
And they-they just
need to listen,
Like that's part of being
a player and a coach,
It's the dynamic.
I'm the coach,
you're the players.
You're gonna be responsible
for bringing two double blocks
To the-the second platform
While you're bringing
two double blocks
To the first platform.
-Okay.
You're doing
the same thing.
Coaches, players,
time is now up.
Coach gilmore,
Your team won the
last challenge,
That means you
go first here.
Bring your tandem up.
Players, are you ready?
Rock on, brotha.
Game time!
[air horn blares]
Let's go, let's go.
Craig vo:
Obie picking up the double
block like it's a feather.
Kenny dragging over a
bunch of single blocks
Getting ready to
start building.
Hey! Kenny make sure
this one's locked in.
Make sure that
one's locked in.
Let's go boys,
you work together here,
Work together.
Craig vo:
Team gilmore deciding to
use lots of wide blocks
To build a sturdy base,
Sending kenny up to
grab the first flag.
You might need one more!
You might need one more!
Send one up!
Send one up!
We have to
switch strategies.
Obie, it's close enough.
You do it.
Obie's seven inches
taller than me,
So he was the
obvious choice.
Craig vo:
Quick thinking by kenny,
But it's going to cost
them some valuable time.
Gilmore:
Move boys move.
Craig:
That's one flag down.
Remember, team gilmore
has to get both flags,
Then both players
up and over.
Gilmore:
Kenny, move that
one over one,
Move that one over one.
Obie:
One over.
Craig vo:
They're starting
to pick up pace.
Obie just throwing
these blocks around.
Kenny, start moving
the single over.
Kenny, start moving
the single over.
I'll go up.
'kay go.
Craig vo:
Obie quickly grabbing
that second flag
While kenny starts to get
blocks to the last section.
Obie has the second
flag in his hand.
They now have to complete
the third section
To get up and over
the citadelle wall.
Go, go, go!
[dramatic music]
[timer beeping]
[obie grunts]
Gilmore:
Good job, boys.
Let's go, boys.
Atta boy obie!
Come on!
Go, go, go!
Four, three,
two, one, yes!
Craig vo:
Obie and kenny set
a really good time.
Yeah!
Let's go!
-Gilmore: That's a good effort.
Craig vo:
Up next, kimber and
cuddly for team kish.
Let's go, let's do it,
let's do it, let's do it.
Yes, coach.
-Okay.
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
go!
Drag it kimber,
drag it!
Craig vo:
Team kish using a different
strategy than team gilmore.
Bring the second
one to kimber.
Craig vo:
Looks like they're going to
build them both simultaneously
Instead of working on
one wall at a time.
Make sure it's centred
and locked in.
Cuddly:
We good?
Craig vo:
Two doubles and a single
block is what they're using,
Creating a staircase
up to the flag.
Chris and kimber getting
those flags simultaneously,
Making quick work of
that first section.
They're ahead of
team gilmore.
Kish:
We need the double.
We need a double.
Kish:
Just leave it,
leave it, leave it!
Craig:
Oh, a little confusion
here with the team
On what blocks to use.
Cuddly:
Where do you want it coach?
Right there,
put it down.
Put it the other way.
-Right up in.
Craig vo:
Kish coaching from
the sidelines
Seems to be causing a lot of
confusion for her players.
Kish:
Turn it the other way!
Cuddly:
We can do this,
let me do it.
All right, okay.
'kay, go.
Go, go, go!
[buzzer buzzes]
Craig vo:
Oh no! Devastating!
Kimber puts her hand
in one of the blocks.
That's gonna be a
one-minute time penalty.
Oh, that's brutal.
Kimber:
Go!
[dramatic music]
[cuddly grunting]
[dramatic music]
Kish:
Aw, [bleep].
Kimber:
What happened?
Kish:
You put your hand
in the block.
What block?
I did.
That's a minute. That's...
Kimber:
I [bleep] it up. Sorry!
Mental mistake.
Craig vo:
Coach kish's strategy
put her team well ahead
Of team gilmore
But the one-minute
penalty stings.
A lack of focus may
have caused the penalty,
But kish is also concerned
About her team questioning
her authority
So she calls a team meeting.
When I'm explaining a
strategy to you guys
And you guys start
piping in over me
And saying what you think
When it's not asked is
entirely disrespectful.
I get you're the coach
but we are a team
And if 100% comes from you
And we're never allowed
to put in input-
When have you never
been...Okay, pause.
Kimber:
We usually are.
We usually are.
I get that.
Okay, so but you're using
words like...Watch your words.
You're never, never
allowed to put the input,
Watch your words,
Because when have I ever
shut it down other than today
When all four of you were
saying different things.
And it really hurts
me as a coach
That I feel like
I've worked so hard
To gain your guys' trust
But when the pressure comes
Then you guys start second
guessing my knowledge on it.
Making a bunch of random
individuals work together.
The hardest thing is
getting rid of their ego
And creating trust.
So we're just working
on the team dynamic
And what team means.
It's just still a
lot of work to do.
Luke:
Just execute the plan.
Craig vo:
Up next, coach luke is going
with bradley's high risk,
High reward strategy
with minimal blocks.
Will it pay off?
This is gonna be awesome.
It's gonna be awesome.
Craig vo:
Team luke is up and they're
using bradley's plan
To use the least amount
of blocks possible
For rampart rampage.
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
[dramatic music]
Good, good, good.
Watch your feet.
One in one now,
one in one.
Craig vo:
This is a ferocious
pace by team luke.
Luke:
Lock it in. Take your time.
Tactical.
Craig:
They're using less blocks
than any other teams here,
Only one double
and two singles.
Will it be tall and sturdy
enough to reach those flags?
[dramatic music]
Luke:
Beautiful, bradley.
Craig vo:
Devon cannot unclip her flag.
I'm just not tall
enough to reach it.
Help!
-Luke: Too tall.
Hey, switch, switch, switch.
Devon, the singles are here,
the singles are here.
I think the strength
of devon mb jones
Is her maturity.
And we see it right there.
In the moment decision,
They have such
communication.
She doesn't say much,
she got down,
Bradley gets the flag down
And devon mb jones starts
building the next round.
We probably saved 20 seconds
Just by her making a
great in-game decision
And being super
cerebral and mature.
Craig vo:
Team luke making
great time.
Way ahead of team gilmore.
Luke:
Yes! Yes!
Showtime!
Showtime baby,
let's go!
Let's go!
Yes!
Yes!
[triumphant music]
I feel like the more
I believe in myself
The more my team
believes in me.
Luke:
We've been sleeping on her!
Everybody's been sleeping
on devon mb jones!
Bradley:
Yeah baby!
Craig vo:
Team luke's risky strategy
pays off and puts them firmly
In first place with one
more team left to go.
Alright, we know what to do.
Craig vo:
They need to win this
challenge to stay alive,
And mitchell will need
to get over a wall,
Something he couldn't do
on our very first obstacle.
When I walked into
the challenge area,
All I saw was a wall and
the panic started to set in.
But I knew that I wanted
to do this today
No matter what
the obstacle was.
So yay!
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
Waneek:
Let's go boys!
Craig vo:
Team blue is underway.
Focus and speed is
going to be key.
Good, good, good, good,
good, good, good, good.
All right, build, louis.
Make sure it's locked in.
Good.
All right, get up there.
Go! It's good and locked.
Louis:
We decided that I'll go
up and grab the flags
While mitchell
had the power
and the strength
To help me build
the other set.
[dramatic music]
Craig vo:
Louis has the first flag.
Look at how fast
they are going here.
Waneek:
Let's go. It's locked.
Mitchell, get over here.
Drag these, quick.
Craig vo:
Mitchell getting
ahead bringing blocks
To the final section
While louis has their
second flag secured.
Mitchell and louis know
That they're in a
very dire position
So first place is a must.
That's it.
Go mitchell, get up.
Let's go mitchell,
jump the wall.
Somewhere in the destiny
up and above they said,
"you know what, mitchell?
"you're gonna get
over that wall today.
"you didn't do it
challenge one,
"but today is your day
to get over that wall."
Waneek:
Get up, get up,
get up, get up!
One, two, three, go!
Go mitchell, go!
Craig vo:
He's up.
Waneek:
Yes, yes, go!
Craig vo:
Mitchell is over the wall,
But one of the flags has
fallen from louis' harness.
Remember, they need
both flags to finish.
Oh!
Louis:
Oh, we lost one of the flags.
Mitchell:
Did we lose a flag?
We lost one?
[dramatic music swells]
[dramatic music]
I didn't even see it.
I thought you had both.
I thought you had both.
I stuffed it in,
I thought I had it.
Craig vo:
After climbing up the wall
without both flags secured,
Team blue failed to
complete the challenge,
Earning them zero points and
any chance of moving forward
On to the next round.
[dramatic music]
I feel like it's a
stab in the heart.
I really wanted this
win for the team.
Shake it off.
Shake it off.
I'm sorry, man.
Don't even worry.
Sorry.
-[bleep] happens.
I do feel heartbroken
But I know that
I came to this
experience
For the actual
experience.
It's about the journey for
me and not the destination.
Waneek:
We have one more competition
that I want you guys
To go out and show canada
how amazing you are, okay?
Mitchell:
We gave it our all.
Craig vo:
While team blue
Are too far behind to
catch any of the other teams,
They can still impact
Who wins the regular season
in the next challenge
Because the top of
the overall standings
Have never been tighter
And whoever wins will win
a huge coach's advantage
In the semi-finals.
Nikki vo:
For the last obstacle
of the regular season,
Teams are now heading to the
beautiful and formidable
Montmorency falls
On the traditional unceded
territory of the wendat people.
Wow, look at that!
Nikki vo:
For what could be our most
exhausting challenge so far.
If I was playing today
I'd be so scared.
I wouldn't wanna do it.
Craig:
Coaches, players,
Welcome to the stunning
montmorency falls.
With the conclusion
of today's challenge
Three teams will move
on to the semi-final.
But the team that wins
the regular season
Will win the coach's advantage
that will allow the coach
From the winning team
to select the order
That teams compete in for
every single challenge
In the semi-finals.
Holy [bleep].
Craig vo:
That's right, they will
select who gets to go first,
Second and third.
It is a huge advantage
That may determine
the ultimate winner!
Luke:
I'm completely
amped right now.
As a coach,
Being able to pick the
order in the semis
Is a massive advantage.
There cannot be
a tie for first.
In the event of a tie,
The team with the
shortest cumulative time
From all challenges
in all rounds
Will win the regular season
And the coach's advantage
in the semi-finals.
Let's get to the final
challenge of this round.
The montmorency falls
stands 272 feet tall.
That's nearly 100 feet higher
than the niagara falls!
In 1885, the first hydroelectric
power plant in québec
Used the force of these falls
to power up the old city.
In this team challenge,
Players you will be
doing the opposite
Of this waterfall
beside you.
Instead of water
coming down the falls,
You will be carrying
water up 487 stairs.
I counted them all.
Wow.
Juls:
Water's gonna suck.
It's gonna
be heavy.
These are my favourite
types of challenges
Because you have
the opportunity
To push yourself
to the limit,
To your breaking point.
This is canada's ultimate
bucket brigade.
[teams cheer]
Nikki vo:
In this team challenge,
Players must work together to
carry over 100 litres of water
Up the gruelling 487 stairs
that flank montmorency falls.
Teams have four different
size buckets to choose from.
First, they must
fill their buckets
From the water below the
falls using a rope and pulley.
Then, they have to
carry them up the stairs
Making sure not to
spill on the way up.
The first team to fill their
cylinder to the black line
With 100 litres of water
And then race back down to
the base of the waterfall
Wins the most points.
Coaches, it's strategy time.
You now have five minutes
to come up with a game plan
To get this water to
the top of the falls.
The clock starts now!
Basically what
my strategy is:
Bradley,
Fill up the two
mediums and go
straight to the top,
Lead us off.
Vinny fill up the next
two big ones and go.
Okay, cool.
Luke:
And then devon
you're up next.
Warnick, I'm gonna have you
basically operating the system.
You've done the knots,
you've done all the pulleys.
I mean, you're a
beast at all that.
You then fill your
own [bleep] up
And you're going to the top,
So technically, warnick,
you have the hardest job here.
Obie:
I think if I get three
buckets filled for all of you,
I can start filling
the two buckets
And then hopefully
I just carry them
And I can start
dumping water.
Gilmore:
The strategy going
into the challenge
Is for kenny and meaux
To get to the top first
with two buckets of water
And then relay the
rest of the event.
Kind of like how we
did the bridge, right?
We met each other anyways,
So if I'm coming
up to juls anyways
And I can hand
her a bucket,
I'll hand it to her.
But it's more of
a talking thing.
Like if juls says
I can't take two,
Then I gotta go up
there with her,
You know what I mean?
But we have the
endurance to do it.
And then we got the
manpower here to, like,
Fill up the buckets.
So I'm thinking we
take two massive pails
And then you could take
a medium and a small
And a medium
and a small.
And I think that's more
than enough to fill that.
Medium and a small for us
to carry like this? 'kay.
Let's fill the
biggest buckets first
And then lift it up to chris
and chris can have it here
And have your
hand under here,
Then you can just keep
using your biceps.
Then we're gonna fill
the second largest bucket
And give it to dustin and
we're gonna lift it up for him.
You guys take off.
I personally think
whoever's gonna go first
Grab the two medium ones
And then just
sh**t up there.
I dropped the ball on
the last challenge
And I have one more
opportunity to shine
And leave our legacy.
And I don't wanna leave
team blue's legacy
How I left it off in
the last challenge.
So we're gonna leave it
out all on the table today.
I'll go first,
I'll take two mediums.
Zalie:
I'll go second I think.
Louis:
I say you just grab
the two small ones
And then you kick it.
Okay, whatever we feel
like is gonna work best.
We just need to finish and
leave it all out there.
Yes, yes, yes.
Craig:
Coaches, time is now up.
Please get your teams
ready for bucket brigade.
Gilmore:
I feel like we still
have a lot of momentum,
Still have a lot to prove.
We've shown throughout
the entire competition
How strong we are,
So I don't think we have
to be intimidated at all.
I think they should
be intimidated of us.
Kish:
I'm here to push them
To the point they didn't
know was possible.
You don't let off
when it hurts,
You push more.
Luke:
We need to capture
these moments,
Keep pushing the standard
Because it ain't
gonna get any easier.
[dramatic music]
[air horn blares]
Craig vo:
Teams are at the
starting line of our
Ultimate bucket brigade
With first place in the
regular season on the line.
Bradley:
What matters is we win
the regular season,
We get through
the playoffs
And then we win
the championship.
Kenny:
Coming into this I just
wanted to show who I was
But now there's
more at stake
And it makes me
more driven to,
I guess, do more.
Players, are you ready?
[in unison] yeah!
It's game time!
[air horn blares]
[dramatic music]
Nikki:
And they're off!
No, no, no, wait,
wait, wait.
Nikki:
They're using the
rope and pulley
To fill that initial bucket.
You got it, guys.
Careful, careful.
-I'm so sorry.
Nikki:
Team gilmore looks like
they're already off.
That's meaux carrying
a bucket over her head
And she is hauling butt.
Dustin from team kish
heads to the steps.
Go, do I go?
-Go.
Nikki:
Vinny with the two
largest buckets in hand.
Luke:
Take your time, boss.
Nikki:
The most we've seen yet.
I know vinny
can take both
Of the big buckets
right to the top.
No one else is
gonna attempt this
And I need him
to push through.
Great job, vinny!
Nikki:
Meaux and kenny
leading the way
As they approach
the first landing.
Come on meaux!
My grandmother
would be so proud
of me today
'cause she's always telling
me stories about working hard
As an immigrant
from the islands.
So putting that
bucket on my head,
She would be amazed.
Gilmore:
Let's go, meaux!
Cuddly:
Okay.
Nikki:
Dustin and cuddly from team kish
look to be tiring out.
I don't have a
lot of endurance.
Oh man.
Why you resting?
And this is not my forte.
Very tired.
My guy vinny's got two
buckets and he's passing.
He told me he
would do it, gil.
He's doing it.
Nikki vo:
Kenny the first one to pour
water into his team's cylinder,
But it's a drop
in the bucket.
They'll need a lot more.
Looks like vinny is
starting to tire out,
Letting cuddly slip
past him again.
Meaux dumps her bucket into
team gilmore's cylinder.
Hold it, let's go down.
Nikki vo:
Cuddly almost to the top
And bradley right
on his heels.
Gilmore:
Let's go obie!
I'm more of a
strength-based
athlete,
I'm not an
endurance
athlete.
I got it.
Keep moving down.
Obie:
I had to check my ego today.
I need my teammates
to step up.
Nikki vo:
Cuddly pours his large
bucket for team kish
And bradley with two
mediums for team luke.
It looks like we have a
three-way tie at the moment.
Vinny:
I'm starting to gas out.
My legs are-are
just seizing,
But, like,
it's not just
about me,
This is about team black.
Every individual
on that team
Is going as if their
life is on the line
And so I will do the same.
Nikki vo:
Starting to see
some progress now
As kenny and juls
get two buckets in.
[dramatic music]
Nikki vo:
Dustin finally
makes it to the top
As his team is
falling behind.
Luke:
This man vinny
has two at the top.
Nikki vo:
The big bucket from meaux
Putting team gilmore
inches from the fill line.
Luke:
Good, vinny.
Nikki vo:
But the bigger story
here is vinny.
He dumps his two
huge buckets
Putting team luke within
striking distance.
Alana passing off two buckets
to bradley near the top
Hoping these are
the last two.
Meaux:
Get some water!
Nikki vo:
Team gilmore racing down
To get their final
buckets from obie.
Let's go, time to dig!
Let's go!
Nikki vo:
If bradley falls
short for team luke
With no more
water on the way,
Team gilmore
could steal this win.
Bradley dumping
his last bucket.
This is gonna be close.
Real close.
Luke:
Are we done?
Gilmore:
Come on obie,
you got this!
Nikki vo:
Team luke is just short
of that fill line.
This is anyone's game.
Bradley:
We need another!
Oh god.
Nikki vo:
Team luke has fallen just
short in bucket brigade.
One more bucket!
Oh no.
Nikki vo:
Leaving the door open
for team gilmore.
Let's go, time to dig.
Let's go.
Nikki vo:
Who are sending
more buckets up.
Luke:
Hey, we need more water.
I know you're tired.
Bradley's coming.
You gotta fill
it up and go.
Nikki vo:
Up top team kish and team blue
are playing catch up
But they need to hustle to
catch teams gilmore and luke.
What type of hell is this?
I know you're tired.
Go get it to vinny.
Nikki vo:
Alana giving it everything.
They're short one
bucket for the win.
I'm extremely
exhausted,
But I'm doing everything so
I don't let my team down.
Luke:
Vinny, take this to bradley!
Kenny:
I think this is
all we need.
You think you can take that
or you want me to take it?
Go, go, go, just go!
Nikki vo:
It's a race for first between
team gilmore and team luke.
Both have
different strategies.
Coach gilmore is sending
all his players up
With smaller
amounts of water.
Pretty rough.
Nikki vo:
While team luke is banking on
bradley with one big bucket.
Is it gonna be enough?
I don't know. I'll call.
Meaux:
I need you juls.
Nikki vo:
Bradley passes meaux with
a full bucket of water.
Team gilmore's
smaller amount
Leaves them just
short once again.
They're gonna need
meaux's bucket.
But bradley is ahead and
almost at the top now
With his full bucket.
I'm hoping we have
enough water right now.
Nikki vo:
Kenny has their last
bucket in hand.
Can he get to
the top quickly?
Bradley:
That's there, man.
Team luke clearly
over the fill line,
But they still have to get all
their players to the bottom
To stop the clock.
Kenny dumping
that last bucket.
Now team gilmore is
over the fill line.
Kenny:
Okay, go!
Okay, I got them both,
kenny!
Nikki vo:
It's now a race
to the bottom!
Luke:
Hurry up!
Obie:
Are we good?
Talk to me!
Down!
Luke:
Let's go. Great job.
Gilmore:
Kenny, flush!
Bradley:
We need every second vinny.
Nikki vo:
Vinny passes meaux
on the stairs.
Gilmore:
Come on y'all!
Alana:
He's right on your a*s!
Go!
Nikki vo:
And now meaux
sprints past vinny.
This is a race!
Meaux:
Push it!
Let's go!
-Come on, come on, come on.
Meaux:
Let's go kenny!
Luke:
Let's go, touch this
thing all together, boom!
[team cheers]
Hey hey!
There's first place,
let 'em know!
Alana:
I'm just super
proud of my team.
We completely kicked a*s
today and I'm so overjoyed
That we did this together.
Let's do it again!
Nikki vo:
Jesse dropping in their last
bucket and it hits the mark.
Their urgency is gone.
Waneek:
Bring it home!
Nikki vo:
Kimber's last bucket gets
team kish past the fill line,
But it's too little too late.
[team cheers]
Good job.
I know.
Kish:
They're celebrating
up on here.
Good job, guys.
It's not even finished,
where's the urgency?
Kish! Woo!
Good job.
Kish:
Come in here for a second.
This is a competition,
you guys.
It's not [bleep] over
until you hit that thing.
Okay, yeah.
You can't just [bleep]
fight when you want to.
If you guys wanna compete,
That right there that finish,
Is not gonna get
you in first place.
Ever.
You give it your all
until the very end.
Craig vo:
Let's take a look at the
ozempic leaderboard.
There's a tie at the top
between teams luke and gilmore.
Team kish's inner conflict
continues pushing them down
To third place
And team blue leaving with
a statement performance
To end their time
in the competition.
Mitchell:
I came into this experience
As that same
shy junior high
high schooler
Who was always told that I'm
never gonna amount to anything
And I'm leaving this
challenge as mitchell 2.0.
Don't underestimate
mitchell ever again.
Jesse:
I brought everything
I could bring
And I think it
was enough.
And even though
I'm going home,
I'm doing it with
my head held high.
[dramatic music]
Craig vo:
Coaches, players,
We have a tie at the top.
With seventy points,
It's team luke
and team gilmore.
That means we will rely
on the cumulative time
Of all challenges to find
our regular season winner.
This winner will also get
the coaches advantage
Moving into the
semi-final round.
With a cumulative time
Of two hours, 31 minutes
and 55 seconds.
[dramatic music swells]
Team luke.
Oh [bleep].
You are officially the winners
of the regular season.
Congratulations.
Don't mean a thing
without the ring.
No time to relax.
We we show up to
the next round,
The foot's
on the gas.
It's go time.
Craig vo:
With a big regular
season win,
Team luke celebrates
with an exquisite dinner
At the fairmont le
chateau frontenac.
Luke:
You win things,
you get nice [bleep].
Bradley:
Love it.
It's been epic so far
And what a journey
to get to the top.
Enjoy it.
Be proud.
But job's not done.
Craig vo:
Next time, we head
to sudbury, ontario
For the semi-finals.
Nikki vo:
All the scores are
reset to zero,
So it's a whole new game.
Now's the time!
Craig vo:
The top three teams
will face off
On three more
unbelievable obstacles.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Nikki vo:
Who can punch their tickets
to compete for the title of
Ultimate challenge champions?
Craig vo:
We've got places to go.
Nikki vo:
And obstacles to conquer on
canada's ultimate challenge.
