TORONTO, July 30, 2014 /CNW/ - Following tonight's first non-elimination

and Jinder were rescued from elimination at the Pit Stop under the
dazzling lights in the Macau Traffic circle, after a luckless turn at

Episode 4 Recap
From the Pit Start in Hong Kong, eight teams made their way to the
gambling capital of the world, Macau, China, and raced to the ancient
A-Ma Temple before heading to the world's highest tower bungee jump
(233 metres/764 feet) at Macau Tower. Once back on the ground, teams
chose one of two Detours, collecting stamps in the maze of Macau's
streets or learning a traditional Macanese dance. From the Detours
teams had to learn how to correctly deal one round of the complicated
Fan Tan gambling game, before heading to the Pit Stop under the
blinking lights of Macau's casinos.
Natalie and Meaghan showed no signs of slowing down as they collected
their fourth win a row, earning them two round trip tickets in Premium
Economy from Air Canada to Tokyo, plus $3,000 on their Scotiabank Gold
American Express Card.
Tonight's episode will encore this week on TSN (Thursday, July 31 at 12 a.m. ET/ 9 p.m. PT and Friday, Aug. 1 at 2 p.m. ET/ 11 a.m. PT), TSN 2 (Thursday, July 31 at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT), and CTV and CTV GO (Saturday, Aug. 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and Sunday, Aug. 3 at 5 p.m. ET/PT - and is also now available on demand at CTV GO.

Next Week:
THE AMAZING RACE CANADA returns home as teams fly to the mighty Yukon (Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and CTV GO). Natalie and Meaghan's Express Pass power play puts
them at the centre of controversy. A dog-eat-dog competition heats up
as the Detour leaves an opening for underdogs to take the reins. And a
relentless Roadblock sets its sights on one team packing.

Canadian television history are:
-
Pierre and Michel - Twin Brothers, Montreal
-
Alain and Audrey - Dating, Montreal
-
Mickey and Pete - Best Friends, Muskoka, Ont.
