TORONTO, July 16, 2013 /CNW/ - At the conclusion of tonight's big buzz
series premiere of CTV's THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, it was revealed that Treena and Tennille, fiercely competitive and
often differing twin sisters from Hamilton, ON, were the first team
eliminated from the competition series. Although the twins were not the
last team to arrive at the mat following a dramatic foot race against
the cowboys, their victory was cut short in a shocking twist when host
Jon Montgomery revealed they had failed to grab BOTH clues from the
Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory, resulting in a 30-minute penalty.
