TORONTO, July 30, 2015 /CNW/ - After frantically scrambling to find a
lost passport, the race came to a halt for Hamilton Elliot and
Michaelia Drever in their home province in tonight's episode of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA. The Centreville, N.S.-based engaged couple had multiple setbacks,
including their own personal detour, when Hamilton realized he left his
passport on the plane. They were eliminated from the race after
arriving last at the Pit Stop in Halifax's Seaport Farmer's Market.



Host Jon Montgomery greeted them at the Pit Stop, saying, "Hamilton, on
behalf of Canadians and myself, thank you for being brave enough to be
yourself."



"I live every day the way that I want to, and I want transgender people
to feel okay with being who they are, to come out and say 'okay, this
is me,'" said Hamilton.



"I had Hamilton (by my side) this entire race, and I couldn't ask for
anything better," said an emotional Michaelia.



Hamilton added, "Sharing this experience with someone I love is the best
experience of my life."

Episode 304 Recap

The nine remaining teams travelled more than 8,000 kilometres from
Buenos Aires, Argentina back home to Canada to Halifax. While on a
layover in Toronto, teams sidled up to Hamilton and Michaelia, in hopes
of being given the final Express Pass. Ultimately, Hamilton and
Michaelia chose to give the Express Pass to fellow East Coast racers
Brent and Sean. Hamilton, a transgender man, also felt that the
brothers, both gay, shared similar experiences as him, having grown up
in a small town and feeling judged by their peers.



Once teams touched down in Halifax, they raced to the new Halifax
Central Library, where they had to scan local artist Cliff Eyland's
"5,000 Paintings" project to locate black and white smartphone photos
from the original Halifax Library. Then, the Road Block had racers
climb a terrifying 340 feet to the top of the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge
to search for the next clue with binoculars. At the Road Block, a
frantic Hamilton and Michaelia realized Hamilton lost his passport, and
began scrambling to retrieve it. Meanwhile, at the Halifax Public
Gardens, teams had to taste test five Orange Julius Premium Fruit
Smoothies and correctly identify their flavours. For the Detour, teams
had to choose between bubbles or suds. At bubbles, teams headed to the
Aquatron at Dalhousie University and had to dive, band, and tag four
live lobsters. At suds, teams had to make Garrison Brewing Company beer
deliveries to three local iconic pubs along the steep streets of
downtown Halifax. Dujean and Leilani, a Halifax native, arrived first
at the Pit Stop at the Farmer's Market, winning the leg. Host Jon
Montgomery greeted them with their leg prize - round-trip tickets from
Air Canada to any of their 15 Caribbean destinations, plus 2.5 million
Petro-Points each from Petro-Canada.
