GURLEEN: "And make your way to the Sunshine Coast.
Note, there are three Express Passes
up for grabs in Vancouver."
KEVIN: Gurleen's from BC. We're gonna go over there

LAUREN: The legs are definitely hurting from
leg one, but no pain, no gain.
NICOLE: We love running!
AMARI: We're flying to Vancouver Airport.
MICHAEL: Our relationship is great.

OLIVIA: Julia and I are completely different.
I am bubbly, I'm out there.

there's a reason why we're here.
OLIVIA: Read the clue.
[Shouting] Read! The! Clue!

MATT: Holy crap, it's beautiful.

COLIN: We're running this leg for all of Newfoundland,

CONNOR: I think part of our strategy is just to
definitely make some friends, use our charm

it's a smart place to be because everyone
will consider us for the Express Pass.
MICHAEL: I think we need to start working together
a little bit, man.
JOHN: Oh, I'm down to make an alliance with you guys.
Let's go.
TAYLOR: We'll talk to people in a bit.

GURLEEN: Yeah, totally.
