Words I love: Dave and Irina, you've been eliminated from the Amazing Race Canada! #Buhbye #peasants #Iloveapples — Lee Ellis (@ThreeStarPet) September 4, 2019

Even Leduc and Terehova didn’t look particularly upset when host Jon Montgomery broke it to them that they were being ejected and would not be competing in the grand finale, which will air this Tuesday.

“We still won the most legs in the race,” boasted Terehova, after being told they were going home.

“We love all the other teams,” added Leduc. “It’s just a game.”

“I just love discovering our country,” said Terehova, referring to the fact that the participants face challenges all across the nation. “It blew my mind.”

In the end, the “villains” of the series were felled because they did poorly in a challenge at the Noggins Corner Farm Market in Wolfville, N.S., in which they had to sort a dozen different, but nearly identical, varieties of apples. When they finished last in the apple contest, Leduc said: “I’m never eating apples again in my life.”
