rench.If we kick out some Quebec team, we're all gonna  homecoming dresses under 100 look stupid.So we have to stick together.In actuality, the devious duo secretly planned a U-Turn on their U-Turn stance.We love Quebec but we came here to win.First, teams had to complete the Detour, of course.One of this week's options forced a fevered sprint through the historic Marais district in search of three marked cafe chalkboards.Teams had to order each of the trio of menu items then jog them all back to waiting diners, who then needed to hear the selections read back verbatim.to mimic a new runway look.After Mickey and best pal Pete Henry took an impromptu whisk through the French countryside care of a clueless taxi driver, the teams got down to work, mostly finding the tasks fairly straightforward.were simple even for French neophytes.Though it didn't stop Sukhi Atwal from brainstorming a mnemonic device to the mild irritation of brother Jinder.she relayed breathlessly.Can you listen to me for a minute?I need my own method!Sukhi again displayed her flair for French as they found their second of three menu items.Before Sukhi and Jinder reached that point, though, they instigated the episode's other major element of drama by lying openly to Vancouver bartenders Ryan Steele and Rob Goddard about their progress.After this understandable lapse in manners, both teams for whatever reason were suddenly resolved to U-Turning the other.As it happened, the Terrace, B.siblings reached the board first.replied Ryan in a talking-head later.So Alain and Audrey and Ryan and Rob were thus relegated to completing both halves of the Detour, a chore they mutually accomplished seemingly buoyed by a wave of resentment.I wish I was actually pinning it onto Sukhi's skin.and Mickey and Pete, so blissfully unstressed that they sometimes seem to be running their race in cheerful isolation.enthused Mickey as they reached the board to see that they had been spared.All these malignant machinations made for an awkward scene when the teams  red homecoming dresses became bunched up at the week's nefarious Road Block.The challenge required the methodical reconstruction of a

effortless efficiency, but others struggled.Michel in particular laboured and laboured on his candy creation, to the point where all teams but the hockey players were working simultaneously.announced Alain with gleeful venom as he and his partner finally arrived, turning his attention to Pierre.Damn, you guys are so slow.although Jinder didn't immediately seem to experience any remorse.he declared with typical aplomb.Ryan spat upon arrival.If Jinder was untouched by regret, it was tempting to wonder whether Michel felt the same.He laboured over the Mentos task for hour after hour, staring in disbelief at his apparently flawed sugar creation.Michel was left alone to fruitlessly ponder where he had gone wrong.Ultimately, the Atwals followed the hockey players to the Pit Stop and Mickey and Pete soon joined them for a third-place finish.Alain shocked his partner by falling to one knee.While one team agreed to spend their lives together, Michel toiled for what only felt like a lifetime on his Mentos masterpiece.Though he arrived hours later, a determined Rob ultimately won Bastek's elusive approval first, and the friends sprinted off to one of the more impressive second-last-place finishes you're likely to see.We fought our hardest.Meantime, Michel took roughly eight hours before finally assembling something worthy of the master's approval.jogged in upbeat unison to their

second only to the hockey players.They were athletic, clever and capable, not to mention imbued with a competitive edge that won them few friends but seemed to  short homecoming dresses position them for a lengthy run.Still, they were positive upon defeat.It's sad, but life goes on.It was just a blast.After a year of buying nothing, Geoffrey Szuszkiewicz and Julie Phillips can spend money again on Sunday.Phillips is looking forward to getting a proper haircut, while Szuszkiewicz is going to purchase a couple of essentials for an upcoming trip.When the former roommates embarked on a year-long adventure in buying nearly nothing last summer, the friends imagined they would celebrate the experiment's end by spending a chunk of their savings on tattoos and a vacation to Thailand.Now, nearly a year later, there's no plans for a tropical holiday, or tattoos, and they don't even have a long list of items they've been pining for after a year free from consumerism.and both plan to permanently adopt many of the habits they've embraced.said 29-year-old Phillips.The pair's life experiment was sparked after the apartment Phillips was planning on moving into was destroyed by last year's flood

self-described hoarder, and it sparked extensive conversations between the two new roommates.Buy Nothing Year was born.The experiment entailed a year without purchasing anything beyond the duo's defined necessities which included toilet paper, rent, utilities, cellphone bills and groceries.Emergency dental work was also added to that list after Szuszkiewicz took a bad tumble while biking (a
