From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 3"

Answer: Two

In the first leg of the race, the twelve competing teams flew to Toronto, Ontario to complete their tasks, and this meant that all racers would be completing a Road Block before heading out of the country. The first task, held at the TSN television studios, required that one chosen team member hop in front of the camera and properly recite a complicated sportscast with news host James Duthie. The second, sending teams to Ontario Place, required that the other team member complete a complicated obstacle course including a rolling log/balance test, a rope wall, and a three story drop into the water. There was no Detour as a result of these tasks.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 3"

Answer: Hamilton and Michaelia

Teams found the first Detour of the race in Santiago, the capital city of Chile. At the end of the leg, teams could either choose 'Motion', a dance involving Easter Island traditional garb, or 'Emotion', in which teams recited a poem by Gabriela Mistral from memory. Hamilton and Michaelia, worried about the revealing outfits from Rapa Nui, skipped the Detour entirely and went on to win the leg. Every other team, except Nic and Sabrina, would finish the 'Motion' task.

Answer: Edmonton

Leaving Spotted Lake in Osoyoos, British Columbia, teams were told to fly to Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, six hundred miles away. Upon landing in Edmonton, teams were told to head to Churchill Square in front of Edmonton City Hall where they needed to interrupt a justice of the peace performing a wedding ceremony.

Twelve teams began this third Canadian version of "The Amazing Race" atop the Dufferin Terrace in front of Quebec City's Chateau Frontenac, Old Quebec's most famous landmark. Here, they all received their first clues directing them to travel on foot through Old Quebec to Quai 22 at the Port of Quebec. There, they needed to use a combination found in their clue to unlock two of the hundreds of bicycles locked to the racks found there. When done, they could ride themselves to the ferry, cross the river to Levis, and receive tickets to their first destination inside the Chevrolet Sonic RS vehicles they would need to drive to the airport.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [6]

Teams receiving their Detour clue were sent to the Edmonton Waste Management Centre where they found a Blind Detour, requiring teams to pick one of two Detour options without fully knowing what was involved.

After their market task, the five teams proceeded by taxi to their Road Block task in Faily-Bartha Village. There, one member of each team was required to get a 'head start' by properly wrapping turbans for a wedding party. The catch was that each of the three men they would be dressing would need a different style of wrapping, each with different approaches. Matt, Ope, Dujean, Gino, and Sean completed this task to the satisfaction of their instructors. After this, they could head to the M-Block Market in Greater Kailash, also a part of Delhi.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [4]

Answer: Brent and Sean

Brent and Sean received an Express Pass from Hamilton and Michaelia in Leg 4 and were given until the end of Leg 7 to use it, making the flight time task the perfect opportunity to jump ahead. They used it to continue into the rest of the leg without needing to perform the tricky math. All other teams kept forging ahead, with some opting to work together to finish the task and catch up. Two teams-- Dujean and Leilani and Neil and Kristin-- opted to take a time penalty of two hours to be run through upon arrival at the Pit Stop.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [3]

Answer: None

Arriving at Plage de la Dune-du-Sud, teams located their Road Block task for this leg of the race. For this one, teams needed to decide who would be 'king of the castle'. The selected racer would need to recreate a sandcastle provided to them, but they would need to build it overtop of their partner who would be submerged in a wetsuit in the sand (up to their necks). This task proved particularly difficult for those not selected since it required staying in frigid water for a lengthy period of time. Gino, Cynthia, Neil, Ope, Matt, Dujean, Brent, and Sabrina completed this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [1]

Answer: Toronto

Arriving in Toronto at night, teams needed to wait until morning to complete their first task at the St. Lawrence Market, where they needed to use their brains to unscramble two street names found within the building-- Market Street and Center Street-- and use that information to find the butchery at that intersection inside. This would send them to their taxis, and across town, to their next clue 9 Channel Nine Court.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 3"

Answer: Citadel Hill

In Leg 4, teams flew to Halifax and during the Road Block, one member of each team needed to ascend up a ladder within the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge crossing between Halifax and Dartmouth. At the top, they would need to use binoculars to scan the city for a red and yellow race flag where their next clue box could be found. This sent them to the top of Citadel Hill. Michaelia, Nic, Brian, Leilani, Nick, Sean, Jesse, Kristin, and Ope all ended up completing the task to continue on.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [6]

Answer: Curling

After completing the Detour teams traveled by taxi to the Ottewell Curling Club for the second of two Face-Offs in the race. Here, teams needed to go head to head playing curling with the advancing team being the closest to the button by the end of the round. The last team, Simi and Ope, had to turn over an hourglass and wait it out to continue. After this task, teams traveled to a Petro-Canada gas station in St. Albert where they had to spend 250,000 Petro-Points in a minute and a half (and only on food and drink) to get their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [5]

Once all seven were properly performed, in order, the teams could continue on. Nick and Matt, Gino and Jesse, and Dujean and Leilani wrestled with this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [3]

Answer: Five

After completing the Road Block, teams needed to drive to L'Etang-du-Nord to find the Monument aux Pêcheurs, the home of the race's very first Face-Off, which required that teams battle in head-to-head competitions to advance in the race. For this task, teams battled in games of kayak hockey, scoring two goals to get their next clue. Simi and Ope and Neil and Kristin did not complete the Face-Off, instead taking penalties for skipping the task. As such, Nic and Sabrina were allowed to continue without penalty since they had no one to compete against.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [2]

Answer: Soccer

After the Road Block, teams ended up making their way to a soccer field at Fútbol Madero in the city where both members had to play a game of blind soccer; one team member needed to play blindfolded around an obstacle course, then shoot a ball on goal under a certain time limit to get their next clue. This proved especially difficult until certain teams found a clever strategy. Unfortunately, Nic, a former pro footballer, couldn't figure out the trick and, to keep their lead, he and Sabrina took a two hour penalty to advance in the leg. All teams then headed to El Obelisko in Plaza de la República for their next clue box.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [1]

Answer: Sports

Arriving at the TSN Studios, teams found their first Road Block task, requiring that one member of each 'feel sporty'. Inside, the chosen team members needed to dress in formal wear and sit behind the news desk with James Duthie to properly recite the story presented to them on the teleprompter (complete with extremely difficult names). Once they followed the camera to the proper cues and recited their lines properly, they would be able to receive their next clue. Jesse, Susan, Simi, Dujean, Brian, Nic, Neil, Elias, Dana, Hamilton, Matt, and Brent got this one done.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 3"

Answer: Two

Following the Detour in Leg 5 on the Magdalen Islands, teams needed to make their way to L'Escalier de la Pointe aux Meules to find the first Double U-Turn of the race and there, two teams-- Brent and Sean and Nic and Sabrina-- were forced to complete both Detour tasks to continue on in the race.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [3]

Answer: Gino and Jesse

Heading out from the Face-Off, teams began their Detour task-- 'Ride It' or 'Pull It'. In 'Ride It', teams needed to find a stable, mount a horse, and complete an obstacle course in under eight minutes. In 'Pull It', teams had to work on a farm, rolling a bale of hay into a barn and milking a cow to fill two one litre jars. Following the Detour, teams visited L'Escalier de la Pointe aux Meules to confront the Double U-Turn. Gino and Jesse U-Turned Brent and Sean to try and force out their Express Pass; the boys subsequently U-Turned Nic and Sabrina. Both U-Turned teams headed back to complete 'Ride It', though the latter team arrived too late in the day to be able to participate and were, thus, given a penalty.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [2]

Answer: Laurentian University

In Leg 6, teams visited two vastly different locations on the Laurentian University campus for their Detour. In 'Synchronize' (completed by Brent and Sean), teams hopped into a pool to memorize and participate in a synchronized swimming routine while in 'Analyze' (completed by Brian and Cynthia, Neil and Kristin, Nick and Matt, Nic and Sabrina, Dujean and Leilani, and Simi and Ope), teams instead headed into the woods to plot and graph the results of crime scene findings. The catch? Only four teams could participate in either Detour task at any given time, so some had to wait. Gino and Jesse did not complete the Detour, having claimed the race's only Fast Forward clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 3" [6]

While Nic and Sabrina took the two hour penalty, the two of them were saved from elimination, dropping from first due to a strong Detour showing, to eighth.
