## Background

*Retrieved from CBC.ca*

Neila combines her career as a certified accounting software trainer with her love of travel — running her own business, Finding Up Consulting, allows her to travel the globe meeting with clients. Along with her 16-year-old son, she's also the owner of another successful company, Wild BC, which runs the only Segway tour of Vancouver. When she's not busy running her businesses and travelling, Neila loves to dance, enjoying everything from samba to ballroom. She might just sashay her way to the winner's podium!

## Episode 204

Before Neila was summoned to the stage, a clip of her and the other three contestants, Andrew Hall, Petros Kusmu, and Katy Warren, introducing themselves was shown. In this clip, apart from introducing herself, Neila stated that she is British Columbia's most passionate, friendliest, and most energetic tour guide. In the first challenge, Definition Dilemma, Neila got 3 correct answers. As a result, Neila finished in last place and was awarded 1 overall point.

In the second challenge, Human Lie Detector, Neila was the first contestant to ask guest Alan Thicke her question about one of his stories. She asked what the name of the show was. Alan replied that it was *The René Simard Show*. Andrew, Neila, and Katy all got 3 correct answers, but Alan deemed that Katy's question was better than the other two's questions and that Andrew's question was better than Neila's question. As a result, Neila finished in last place and was awarded 1 overall point.

In the third challenge, Pipe Fitter, Neila was forced to stop her progress 2 minutes and 19 seconds into the challenge due to Petros successfully connecting his plumbing system and filling his glass third at that time. As a result, Neila finished in last place and was awarded 1 overall point. In the fourth challenge, Stack of Shapes, Neila got 2 correct answers. As a result, Neila finished in 3rd place and was awarded 2 overall points.

In the fifth challenge, Step Squad, Neila was the third contestant to perform her improvised solo at the challenge's midpoint. Guest judge Sean Cheesman ranked Neila in last place for her overall performance in the challenge and Neila was awarded 2 overall points as a result. After the first five challenges, Neila had received a total of 7 overall points. As a result, she finished in last place and was eliminated along with Andrew. Jessi prompted applause for Andrew and Neila in spite of their shared elimination.

After the sixth and final challenge, the Gauntlet, ended and Katy was declared the fourth finalist of the season, Neila and the other three contestants celebrated onstage with Jessi.
