JON: You're team #1. KATIE: Yes! [Screaming]
NICOLE: I mean, if you guys randomly get there
before us, I mean, don't put us on.

Mississauga Anishinaabeg,

teams will begin the 7th leg of the race.
KATIE: It feels great to be starting this next leg

We've got this momentum. We want to keep it rolling.
TAYLOR: Okay, Route Info.
"Take the train to Montreal, Quebec.
Once there, make your way to Montreal Trudeau

TAYLOR: We're going to Montreal!
Tensions are definitely gonna be a little high.
We put Kevin and Gurleen up on the pass board.
KATIE: No hesitation. There you go.

TAYLOR: How did you guys find it?
NICOLE: Kevin and Gurleen putting us up on the board
was really just like taking away a potential like
hard-earned win for us.
It was really not gonna save them.

Shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.

GURLEEN: The only thing that's going through my mind
as Lauren and Nicole are talking is, honestly,
like when I'm gonna see my dog next?
Honestly, like you guys are playing an emotional game,
so play your emotional game.
We're playing a strategic game.
Be emotional. It's fine, let it out.

I came out to and, you know, like that was
one of the hardest things for me in my life.
The last thing you wanted is to have people that
you love treat you differently

MATT: I hated that he felt like it had to be
