‘Amazing Race Canada’ to air mid-season ‘After the Race’ special next week

TORONTO – The teams eliminated in the first half of “The Amazing Race Canada” will get another chance in the spotlight next week.

The sixth episode of the race ’round-the-world will be followed by “After the Race,” a mid-season special held at CTV headquarters.

In front of a live studio audience, TSN’s James Duthie will interview the teams thus far eliminated and look back at the first half of the epic reality race.

So far, the three teams eliminated have been friends Shahla Kara and Nabeela Barday, Halifax parents Jen and Shawn King and Toronto married couple Laura Takahashi and Jackie Skinner.

The fifth episode of “The Amazing Race Canada” was to air Tuesday night, with a visit to the Yukon in the plans.

In a statement, Duthie called himself a “die-hard” fan of the show and vowed to ask the eliminated pairs: “What the heck were you thinking?”
