Kevin & Gurleen Elimination Interview | The Amazing Race Canada S10E9

It's just like, you know, Scar in The Lion King. We wanted to be Scar. We wanted to play that character. It was so fun! You're my muffin. You're my muffin. - You're my pumpkin pie. - Oh my God! You are my muffin. It's so funny. I was so devastated here. And you're... Gurleen was so sweet to me. I was losing my @#$%. I was like, get the F up. If Gurleen wasn't on my team, I would have been out in like three. Gurleen was just there for us. Every time she's like, take a breath, calm down. And she really kept the trains on the track It's just, it's too bad we didn't get that finale. Kevin, Gurleen, by a matter of mere minutes. You are the last team to arrive. I had this moment when we were leaving the museum, where I was like, I think we're done. I don't know. Like I just felt something in my heart. And then when we got to the mat. It was just... it was horrible. But also, you know, there was a sense of relief. It was really hard to take. - It was really hard. - I was devastated for a while But now that it's subsided, you know, I think the universe wanted to keep my ego in check. I won Big Brother. They're like, no, no, no, no, no, we can't give this kid two. That would just be too much. Kevin and Gurleen, you have been U-Turned by your fellow racers. Damn. We've always been a little bit outcasts. We've been a little bit lone wolves, a little bit different our lives. And that's okay. Like, we didn't really jive with the group and we caused a lot of waves. But our self-love is not based off the acceptance of others. When people watch us, I hope they, take away Be bold, be outspoken, be willing to take up space and be seen and heard. You know, I'm a middle child. I'm daughter of immigrants. So I really like overcame my own fears. And I hope other people who watch us, they're like, oh, wow, like, what an inspiration. You can do hard things. We watch the show year after year. And it was missing a competitive edge. All the teams are working together. All the teams are helping each other out and it's like, where is the where's the feelings? We were asking ourselves this for years Okay. growing up. I love the villains. They're my favorite characters. So to go and live that on a TV show, it was really, really fun. We had a really good time with it. So when we knew that when we saw an opportunity to, help a team and potentially build an alliance that could get us ahead in the next leg, that was an opportunity we were going to take. but then you see me, you know, in the haggis challenge, I was like, no, we're not going to help the twins because the twins were winning. The twins have, such a high average and so were, Mike and Tyson. So, no, of course we're not going to help them. But, you know, the audience obviously thinks a certain way, but but that's okay. The truth is that we genuinely just didn't want to help certain teams because they're a competitive. And we wanted to help certain teams because if we joined together, we could maybe propel ourselves ahead of a strong team like the twins or Mike and Tyson. we've done, we've done a bunch of shows and like I did Big Brother ten years ago and I was such an insecure person, I needed that, I needed to be loved by the audience or whatever. But now like we're both in our 30s, we're so confidence like, no, let's go get hate. It looks like it was death by a thousand cuts and that's what it felt like. It was just any, every turn we took, you know, we just couldn't get to the mat. We couldn't get to the mat, and. Yeah. And the at the end, that's just the way it went. And it's okay. Yeah. So like, we we did everything we wanted. We lived our this life. We caused drama. We played hard. We were on the passports. We want to live like our bingo card is scratched off. It's okay that the win is going to go to a different deserving team. And yeah, and it's just it's just the way the pieces are. We're okay with that. Yeah. I think we really just feel, so blessed and proud of ourselves to have gone as far as we did. And I think for me, most importantly, we were able to tell our story and we were able to like, you know, go on this crazy adventure together and learn about each other and fast track, you know, certain things that couples maybe don't get to learn, 2 or 3 years down the line. So I think that that to me is like a prize on its own. And and sure, winning would have been great, but I really have, I have to have peace in my heart with how we played and how the story unfolded. And, you know, at least the last episode was all about us. And the next episode, whatever. It's great. Yeah. Like I, I deal with game theory and optimal strategy. So, for example, let's say you gave a game to a computer, it'll like, spit out an output on how to play it optimally. I love it. I'm such a nerd like that and so like to try to push it to the limits. And that was a great example. And I watched these shows. People show up people to do A, B, C, D or you know what I mean. Why not like try to hack it or figure out the system or whatever and that that just gets me going. That's my nerdy brain. And, we love strategy games. And yeah, it is fun to try to to try to solve these little problems. And I struggle with a bunch of challenges as well. But we got through some pretty fast. It's so fun. yeah. Yeah. Classic arcade. I can never cheat. And there's clear rules or whatever, but there's strategy. There's like some cool strategy to use it. It's like in monopoly if someone lands on your space and you pay rent, that's a game mechanic. Like I respect it. Like we were right on their tail. We probably would have won that leg if they didn't pass us. So as soon as they did that I was like that was the right play and we can make it work. Sell tickets for the game if you want the leg. We were literally going to win. We could have totally passed them, but every time we did it, we were viewed as the bad guys. There was a bit of a double standard that I think some of our cast mates have to like, look in the mirror a little bit, about 100%. Yeah, that was really unfortunate.
