'I wanted to represent the average Joe' says garbageman from Canada's Ultimate Challenge winning team
We've finally crossed Canada, from the beaches of B.C. through the country's heartland and arrived for the finale on the Atlantic coast. After 12 punishing challenges, only three teams remain. It all comes down to this. What went down on Episode 7 of Canada's Ultimate Challenge, Season 3 Team Red, Team Yellow and Team Wildcard arrived in Halifax ready for battle! "The big dogs are here and we're ready to eat, baby. Let's go!" said Keenan at Halifax Harbour. Team Red won the very first challenge of the season, and although they've suffered some losses, they've remained the team to beat. The first challenge of the finale was intense, requiring each player to confront a potential weakness: from height to logistics, from swimming to rope climbing. The three final teams gathered alongside the Silva for the Tall Ships Relay. Each team member climbed to the top of the mast, untangled 50 knots to unlock a key and made a harrowing 25-foot free fall into the frigid water below. They swam 150 metres to the dock and completed a gruelling rope climb to unlock one of the three locks on their team's chest. The first team to unlock their chest and raise the victory flag won. Steve, Mark and Aaron set off on the first leg. Mark breezed through the challenge, giving Team Red an early lead, with Aaron close behind. Meanwhile, Steve wrestled with the knots. Santina and Mariam had already set out on the second leg before he hit the water with his key. Then he struggled on the rope climb. "What is he doing?" asked teammate Kelly from the sidelines. "Anxiety is starting to hit. You're going to do anything to get on top of this dock," recalled Steve as he fell off the rope and into the water again and again, losing precious time for Team Yellow. "Steve, stop giving up," shouted Eddie who was anxious to begin his leg of the race. He wasn't the only one to have trouble with the rope climb. Santina also struggled to get on top of the dock; several times she climbed part way only to fall back into the water, evaporating Team Red's impressive lead. "I'm a strong (bleep)ing woman!" she said once she finally reached the top. Team Yellow, meanwhile, was making an impressive comeback as Kelly handily scrambled up the rope. Ultimately, it was neck and neck between Teams Yellow and Red, with Keenan securing the win. Team Red would go straight to the finale while Team Yellow and Team Wildcard would face each other in the elimination round. MVP of Episode 7: Eddie Kelly voiced her frustration: "Steve just did not deliver for the team. And it's super frustrating. Just do your (bleep)ing job!" But Eddie was more compassionate: "He tried his hardest and didn't get it." Eddie has consistently rallied Team Yellow and remained optimistic throughout the competition. "I just want to say sorry for letting the team down," said Steve. "I'm sorry that I showed the emotions of being frustrated," replied Kelly, "I believe in you. You're a fighter." "Don't fret about it," agreed Eddie, "it wasn't our day today, but tomorrow is different." At the new Queen's Mark facing Halifax Harbour, Yellow and Wildcard faced off for the Ultimate Rum Barrel Blitz. Both teams raced into the chilly water to retrieve 12 rum barrels, weighing over 300 pounds each. They had to haul the barrels up the steps and onto 12 separate platforms. But wait! This was a puzzle. The 12 barrels had clues representing the 12 previous challenges and they had to be placed in the exact order the challenges happened. "This could be a tricky challenge," said Aaron. "Thank God I've been journaling." "The pressure is on," said Kelly as both teams scrambled into the water to collect their barrels. Moment that changed the game Determined to reach the end, Aaron had a strategy. He wanted to carabiner the rum barrels together to make fewer trips. "Work smarter, not harder," he said. Once on shore, they would solve the puzzle together. "Right now, we're cooked," said Eddie as his team raced into the water to gather their barrels separately, "we're going home." But while Team Yellow worked as a cohesive group, Team Wildcard fell apart. Mariam sprinted ahead to place the barrels on the steps in the order she recalled. "My memory is very strong," she said, "and we're wasting time right now." "Why is she off doing her own thing?" asked Aaron. The teams were just seconds apart when host Brandon Gonez was called over to check the puzzle. Mariam had made an error and it cost Wildcard the win. "I'm really frustrated right now," said Aaron to Mariam, "you can't stick to a goddamn plan." And of course Eddie, always the sportsman, "Mariam don't worry. Don't feel bad!" Goodbye, Team Wildcard. The season's final challenge will be an epic showdown between the two dominant teams: Team Yellow and Team Red. Best line of the episode Santina arrived at Halifax Citadel in a fighting mood: "You know what I like to do? I like to put mustard on my hamburger and eat it like I'm gonna eat Yellow." Game on. It was time for the Ultimate Cannonball Gauntlet. The teams had to overcome three military-style obstacles to gather 15 cannonballs. A team member would balance these cannonballs on a board, with the final cannonball located atop a 40-foot tower. The first team to successfully balance all 15 cannonballs and hit the button would be declared the winner of Canada's Ultimate Challenge. "I want to end this rivalry," said Steve, "Team Red is going down today." If collecting the cannonballs was tough, it was even more difficult to balance them on a narrow board on a windy day. "If the cannonball falls, then it's dead. They have to complete an obstacle again to replace it," explained Brandon. Both teams raced off. Keenan from Team Red had trouble with the rope climb: "My ego is hurting. I haven't felt this much of a struggle in the competition ever!" Santina had little compassion as she watched him slip: "Keenan, pull it together, man." As cannonballs tumbled from the board and to the ground, both teams dug in hard. Most caption-worthy photo By the time they each collected — and balanced — 14 cannonballs, Red and Yellow were neck and neck again. Santina raced off and up the tower with Eddie close behind. He climbed furiously to make up lost ground and the fight to the finish was on. With Eddie mere seconds behind, Santina balanced the last cannonball on the board and reached for the buzzer. They won! "It definitely sucks not to be on top," said Kelly, "but that's sports for you!" Congrats to the winners: Team Red "When I came into this competition, I wanted to represent the average Joe, and that's it. I didn't care about making alliances or the social game. I wanted to push myself right to the bitter end", said Mark. "WE ARE SEASON 3 CHAMPIONS! This honestly makes me feel so good." Right from the beginning, Keenan was in it to win it. "I never go into any competition or situation in my life expecting to lose, so coming out on top was what I envisioned and it felt completely natural." Team Red never lost faith and were strong communicators all season, said Mark. "I really believe Team Red had success because we talked about everything. It was everyone working together to come up with the best possible solution to every challenge. Everyone knew their role." "It was clear not everyone was a fan of Team Red," said Santina, "but honestly, it just reminded me that when you're strong, united, and performing well not everyone is going to cheer for you — and that's okay." "At the end of the day, it will always come down to who wants it more?" explains Keenan. "Who's willing to push a little bit harder? Go a little bit further? We just wanted it more and that's exactly why we won the whole thing in such a dominant fashion throughout the entire season!" Congrats Mark, Keenan and Santina!

Reality show players battle exhaustion, pain and betrayal on the toughest challenge yet at Mont-Tremblant
Social Sharing Welcome to Mont-Tremblant, Quebec! Tensions are high because one team will be eliminated, while the rest move on to the finale. Who will be cut? What went down on Episode 6 of Canada's Ultimate Challenge, Season 3 Players arrived at the historic Circuit Mont-Tremblant, the second-oldest racetrack in the country, for what looks like the most gruelling challenge of the series, The Ultimate Pit Crew Push. Each team had to steer a rickety four-wheeled cart around a 4.3-kilometre track three times — that's over 12 kilometres! Along the way, they had to load the cart up with tires — 16 in total — weighing over 400 pounds. And the final twist? This track followed the natural topography of the land, which was hilly. At the start of the race, Team Red was on top with rivals Team Yellow at the bottom. The stacks were high. Said Eddie, "I've never even run 12 kilometres. But we're gonna push as hard as we can go until we get to that finish line." And they are off, Team Red and Team Yellow neck and neck around the track, with Wildcard and Blue behind. All teams discovered they needed to stack their tires carefully because if they rolled down the hills too fast, they would pop right off the cart, losing precious time to reload. Eddie found an ingenious way to stack them by placing the smaller ones inside the larger ones to make a more solid formation, which the other teams instantly copied. But there was a lot of frustration on the track. "This challenge sucks," said Aaron who looked like he might not finish. "First lap and I'm exhausted. I'm gonna puke." Steve is feeling it, too: "I need to stop. My leg is starting to cramp. I'm just hobbling." And Team Blue was way, way behind. MVP of Episode 3: Tulio (and all of Team Blue) "Pain is temporary, G [Gracia]. Let's keep pushing. We'll rest when we're dead," said Tulio as he rallied the team. Things looked grim but they kept with it. "Going up this hill, the pain is unbearable," said Gracia. "What the [bleep] am I doing here?" In a neck-and-neck race, Team Yellow pulled out the W. "This is absolutely amazing. I am beyond proud of Kelly and I am beyond proud of Steve!" said Eddie. Despite the impressive win, it wasn't enough to keep second-place Team Red from winning the region. They'd be safe from elimination and choose whether Yellow or Wildcard would face Team Blue in the elimination round. In last place, and after more than three hours on the track, Team Blue finally crossed the finish line. No hard feelings, though; they were all just happy to finish. "This was honestly the hardest thing that I've ever done in my entire life. Tulio, you were just my rock through this whole thing. And so I just kind of want Tulio to be cap[tain] for the remaining of the region," said Gracia. Agreed, Tulio is a rock and the whole team were champs for persevering! Now Team Red faced a tough decision: Who would get a free ticket to the finale, Team Yellow or Team Wildcard? Moment that changed the game Santina and Keenan were ready to throw Team Yellow in retaliation. But Team Blue, struggling to survive in the game, made some interesting revelations. "Aaron is the kind of player that slides his way into the top. He doesn't deserve to go to the finale," said Gracia. "Wildcard, I want to beat them." By this point in the game, there was no love for Aaron, especially from his former Team Blue. It was Aaron's double-dealing that had sealed his fate, back in Episode 2. When he was Team Blue's captain, he decided to put Team Yellow into the elimination round at BC Place (remember the friendship bracelet incident?) McKiya revealed that Aaron told his team that Red wanted Yellow in the elimination round and that they made threats to come after Team Blue. This wasn't quite the truth. "I felt cornered," said Aaron in his defence. "Why is this being brought up now, I didn't mean it that way." "Yellow, they put you in [last week] because they believe all those lies, so they're also victims of the truest villain, which is Aaron," said Gracia (who by this point, would say anything to give her team a fighting chance). Aaron was finally revealed. But he was also lucky. Best line of the episode A (strategic) truth: "Last region, Yellow decided to throw us in. We forgive, but we don't forget. It's the way she goes, baby," said Team Red's Mark. Team Red decided to throw Team Yellow into the elimination round regardless. Aaron and Team Wildcard would make it to the finale. Next up, the shores of Lac Tremblant for the High Rollers Elimination Showdown. Both teams would take a spot at opposite ends of a giant log suspended over the water. Whichever player was the last one standing won the round for their team. The first team that won three rounds would make it to the finale in Halifax. "The thing about this challenge is it's about balance, stamina, focus. All our strengths. We're okay, Blue," said Tulio optimistically. But in three nail-biting rounds, Yellow squeaked out the W. Bye-bye, Team Blue! "We gave it everything we had. I wouldn't want to have done it with anybody else. Love you, guys," said Tulio (again, showing great leadership!) McKiya added, "We gave it all we had. I'm so proud of us. There's no other way I'd rather go out than with those two people." We'll miss you at the finale in Halifax!

'Disrespected': Women watch from the sidelines as men hold them back from the competition
Social Sharing "I look at the other teams, and the women are just benched," said Mariam after the Ultimate Canal Crossover Challenge on Episode 5 of Canada's Ultimate Challenge, Season 3. "It makes my heart sad because women are continuously told that they're not good enough, or they're not strong enough." Oh boy(s). How did we get here? Three remaining teams plus the newly formed Team Wild Card gathered at the Sault Ste. Marie Canal Historic Site for a difficult challenge. After racing down the canal in a canoe, they had to climb and cross the canal on a slackline — as many times as they could for two hours — with a fierce wind threatening to throw them off balance. One fall, at any time, and the team's count would fall back to zero. Team Red's Captain Mark, who had some experience on the slackline, realized how hard this challenge would be. "There's wind, the slacklines are going back and forth, it's nuts. It's extremely hard in the middle." Kelly, who had just stepped up as the captain of Team Yellow knew that she had never slacklined before and offered to go across first and support the team members who felt more confident. But as the race wore on, both Eddie and Steve were gassed and Kelly wanted in, "I'm ready to go, like, put me in. It only makes sense." (Remember, Kelly was the captain AND a professional hockey player.) Around the same time, Santina on Team Red said, "Let me go one more time," and Mark replied, "OK, Tee, I have to pull captain rank here." Santina was ultimately okay with the call. "Although I was capable of doing it, Mark knew he could get it done quicker. The more you practised, the more comfortable and efficient you become, and he already had that experience," said Santina afterwards, "I knew that stepping back was exactly what my team needed in that moment." "Everyone was completely able to do this challenge, whether you're a female or male, it doesn't matter," said McKiya. "This may not have been my strong suit as far as balance wise so I was OK that my teammates took over [but] I wish I did more passes." Kelly and Miriam, however, did not feel the same. Team Yellow ignores the one pro athlete on their team Kelly grew increasingly livid: "Being a professional athlete on the sidelines, I was annoyed at my teammates for not seeing the talent they had in front of them and felt I was not seen because I am a woman." "I can do it," she offered a gassed-looking Steve. "Not with this, Kelly. You know what I mean, you don't want to risk… if you don't mind just chilling here." said Steve. When Eddie returned to the position, she told him, "I wanna go." "You do?" asked Eddie, who insisted he was warmed up and ignored his captain. "I am an elite athlete. They're not even thinking twice about that? I'm disappointed," said Kelly. Shortly after Kelly was sidelined, teammate Steve fell off the slackline and tumbled into the canal, resetting their crossing count back to zero. With less than 30 minutes left in the challenge, there was no way to catch up to the other teams. After Steve's fall, Kelly finally joined in. The team made 15 crossings in less than 30 minutes compared to 21 they made in the 90 minutes prior. Many hands (and feet, in this case) clearly make light work. "When I finally got out there," remembered Kelly, "I was the only team member to go back and forth without stopping, proving them wrong." There were some serious talks about the challenge afterwards. "I discussed it with our team but also with Team Yellow and Team Blue," said Mariam. "It's deeply engraved in society that women will slow us down and that they can't perform." Later in the car, Kelly was able to vent her disappointment in her teammates. "If I was a dude, you'd be one hundred per cent 'you got this, you got this.'" She reminded them how quickly she competed in the challenge once she got to go in. Their response? They weren't thinking, they had "tunnel vision." "Disrespected," is how Kelly says she felt at the time. "If I were in this situation again, I would have the courage to speak up, believe and fight for myself." It's a lesson for us all — even in 2025.

'This is like a nightmare to me.' Bombshell new twist changes the game in Sault Ste. Marie
Social Sharing Welcome to Sault Ste. Marie! The treachery and gameplay continue as all three teams are changed in an explosive twist. What went down on Episode 5 of Canada's Ultimate Challenge, Season 3 Fresh off an elimination round, the remaining three teams showed up for battle in The Soo — and stepped into another solo challenge. But this one had a few new twists. Teams had to select a player without knowing what the challenge was AND these players wouldn't be competing for points for the team, instead, they were playing for power. "I love me a little power, what is the power?" asked Gracia. They wouldn't find out until the challenge was over. Teams deliberated on who their most well-rounded and trustworthy player was, with Ene, Steve and Aaron stepping up for the Ultimate Standoff. "I don't want Aaron to have this power. My time with Aaron on Team Blue was absolutely a disaster. He would say lies and stir drama, so this power with Aaron is like my worst nightmare," said Mariam from the ground. No surprises there. All three would balance on top of a precarious 20-foot-tall post alone. As the challenge progressed, each one had to remove rings from the platform under their feet, making it smaller. The last one standing won. And for this, all three teams picked their largest dudes (with presumably the biggest feet). This should be interesting. Mariam need not have worried, because Aaron was the first to topple when he failed to loosen the second ring, leaving Ene and Mark behind. It was an intense standoff between former allies, Team Yellow (Ene) and Team Red (Mark), as both looked to gain an advantage. After over 90 foot-numbing minutes, Ene looked calm and steady with his impressive-looking pistol squat. Most caption-worthy photo But he dropped off, giving the W — and the mysterious power that it would confer — to Mark. Moment that changed the game So what was this special power? Host Brandon revealed that Mark was in charge of creating a brand-new Wildcard Team. He would need to select one member from each team, including his own, and he had the night to make his decision. Players lobbied Mark that evening. In an interesting twist, Aaron asked to be on the new team, "Some people probably think I'm a bit of a snake because I've done my sneaky ways to get here. This is my last little sneaky chance to get to the end." Blue was not impressed with Aaron's defection. Team Yellow knew that a blow was coming in retaliation for putting Team Red into the elimination round. They were sure that Eddie and Ene would be split up. The next morning, all was revealed. Aaron got his wish to be placed on the new team. Mark selected Ene, a powerhouse member from Yellow to join him. And he also added Mariam from his own team. Given her history with Aaron, this did not go down well. "This is like a nightmare to me. Mark knows what he's doing. He's basically setting me up for failure. Me and Aaron cannot work together," she said. With this decision, he weakened the competition and doomed the new Wildcard team to failure. This was truly the moment everything changed. All four teams headed off to the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site for the next challenge. First, they raced up the canal in canoes, then they needed to cross the canal on a slackline — for two hours. The team with the most crossings won. But there were two hitches: if one player falls the count starts over from zero, and there was a very brisk wind making the job so much harder. Aaron could feel the tension: "This is incredibly awkward. I'm with two people, and they're like, 'Crap, we have to be with him.' But that's just giving me fire to prove to them that they are going to end this challenge being like, "Thank gosh Aaron was on this team." Nobody on Team Wildcard was happy, especially Mariam. Team Red was the first to hit the slacklines. "I do slacklining at home, but this is really hard. There's wind, the slacklines are going back and forth, and it's nuts. It's extremely hard in the middle," said Mark. The teams got down to it with Team Red in the lead. Keenan was the first to drop into the canal and then Aaron went down. The score was now zero for both teams, but it was still early and they had time to catch up. Ninety minutes in, Team Red was back on top in a tight four-way race. Everyone was gassed, especially Steve and Eddie from Team Yellow, who were doing all the work. Best line of the episode An important (and admirably restrained) call out: "The boys just want to do it themselves, but I am an elite athlete. They're not even thinking twice about that. It's very disappointing." Kelly asked to be put back on the slackline, but despite being team captain, Steve refused. "If you don't mind just chilling here," he said, "[it's] pretty wobbly right now, girl." Yikes. The other women were also sidelined. "I look around at the other teams, and the women are just benched," said Mariam, "it makes my heart sad, because women are constantly told they're not good enough, and they're not strong enough." Shortly after, Steve tumbled into the canal, ending it for Team Yellow in this challenge. There was no way for them to catch up. "You definitely dusted me, and it's not cool," added Kelly afterwards. Wait, it's 2025 and this is still happening? MVP of Episode 5: Kelly Right after Steve tumbled into the canal and Team Yellow lost all chance of winning the challenge, Kelly got back on the slackline. "You just disrespected me. You are idiots. And I'm about to prove you wrong right now," she said. And, of course, she slayed. In the first 90 minutes of the challenge, Team Yellow made 21 crossings. In the last 25 minutes, with Kelly contributing, they made 15. In the car ride back, Kelly let it out: "For me, it's just disappointing that you did not trust in me. You guys need to put your egos to your side. You just think, like, I'm just not as good as you guys, but I went across the rope even faster than you guys." This was a pivotal defeat for Team Yellow. "I wasn't thinking at all, like, to be honest. That was more of, like, tunnel vision," admitted Eddie. A competitive finish for Red and Blue The final challenge was so close! Tulio and Mark continued to go head-to-head on the slackline. "Tulio is like an absolute spider monkey. I can feel my body wanting to shut down, but I know that as soon as Tulio goes, I have to go," said Mark. Team Red won, with 33 crossings, just one more than Team Blue.

'I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to win' Deep betrayal, epic battle as the race tightens in Saskatoon
Welcome to Saskatoon, the land of the living skies. But for one team, this will be their last stop. What went down on Episode 4 of Canada's Ultimate Challenge, Season 3 First, an update. "Now, it's our time to shine," said Team Green's Steph, back and ready for action after her collapse in Episode 3. The remaining three teams gathered at the Traffic Bridge in Saskatoon, where Brandon revealed the next challenge, The Ultimate Bridge Mindbender. Two members from each team had to climb the 30-foot bridge and navigate a ring through 300 metres of tangled rope. Once the ring was navigated along both arches, a member on the ground had to untie another 50 twisted knots before ringing the buzzer. The teams got to pick which members climbed to the top and which stayed on the ground. When Team Green captain Gabe told her she was going up, Veronica did not feel it. "I never climb bridges," she said, "Gabriel's a firefighter, okay? So this is perfect for him. Like this is his opportunity to shine." When the horn rang, Keenan and Mark from Team Red secured a huge lead over the others. Moving that ring along the rope was harder than it looked and climbers had to communicate with their team on the ground! Team Yellow's Steve and Kelly struggled at first, with Green and Blue fighting for 3rd and 4th place. After navigating one arch, it was time to hand the ring off. Mark and Keenan (Team Red) passed it onto Santina and Mariam, while Steve and Kelly (Team Yellow) handed their ring over to Eddie and Ene. Meanwhile, things got a little chaotic for Team Green. "Are you (bleep)ing kidding me? My brain is not computing what's happening right now," said Veronica as she struggled at the top of the bridge. "At this moment, I knew I made a mistake," remembered Gabe, "there's no chance that we can win this." Eddie and Ene chipped away at Team Red's lead in a stunning upset and placed first. Of course, this meant they had to decide who would be going up against Team Green in the elimination challenge. It was a stressful evening for Team Blue and Team Red as both tried to convince Yellow to save them (more on this below). When a new day dawned, Eddie, captain of Team Yellow revealed a shocking decision. They were putting up former allies, Team Red, into the elimination round. That's when Keenan made a threat: "We're going to dominate this challenge. I'm going to win out the next region and we're going to send your ass packing." Game ON. At Saskatoon's Goodale Farm, teams got a chance to size up the challenge. Two players from each team had to hang off a huge tractor to pull up 30 heavy bales of hay. The two ground members had to transport those bales through water and mud to create a colossal hay staircase. The first team up the stairs to ring the bell won. Both teams choose female members on the tractor leaving the boys to start hauling hay bales through the mud. "This is do or die. If we don't pull out the W today, we're going home," said Veronica. Team Green got off to a shaky start when Steph fell off the tractor, which meant another trip around the track before they could grab more bales. But with sheer grit and determination, Green battled it out in a neck-and-neck race to the bitter end. Teams Yellow and Blue cheered them from the sidelines. "If Team Red wins, there's no doubt that they're gonna want revenge against Team Yellow," said Kelly, "so I do want Green to win this." Double-crossing Team Red noticed that nobody was cheering for them as they eked out a victory that sent Green packing. Moment that changed the game Team Red's Keenan had been playing fast and loose with his deal-making, brokering alliances with Teams Yellow, Orange and Blue. It was bound to come out sooner or later (thanks, Gracia!). In Saskatchewan, Keenan's treachery finally came back to haunt the team. Eddie asked, "Do you guys have any alliances with anyone else?" And Keenan told a bald-faced lie: "As far as aligning with people and saying, 'hey, we want to go to the end with you,' we never said that with anybody." Surprising no one, Team Yellow put Red into the elimination challenge. "We all want Red to go. It's their punishment for lying to us and if you have a chance to get rid of one of the top teams, you're gonna do it," said Eddie. It was a good strategy, except it didn't work. Best line of the episode A threat (and perhaps an award for surfacing one of the most classic reality show chestnuts): " Going forward, I have my own back. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to win a (bleep)ing competition." Santina said this when it became obvious that Team Red had no friends left in the game as the other teams cheered for Team Green during the elimination challenge. Do these four powerhouse players have what it takes to bring a victory home on their own? MVP(s) of Episode 3: Eddie (and Ene) from Team Yellow On the bridge, Eddie and Ene were facing Team Red who already had a substantial lead on them. But Eddie was determined to win the region: "Growing up, me and my friends were little hooligans. So, I've done a lot of things on bridges." Calm under pressure, watching Eddie and Ene work together was a master class in communication. "I'm not going to let Team Red beat us in another race," said Ene. Neck and neck with Team Red, it was an all-out battle. Team Yellow won.
