## Background

*Retrieved from CBC.ca*

Chris is a police constable with the Missing Persons unit in Saskatoon. A former sportscaster with Global News, Chris loves his new career and has already been honoured with two awards for acts of courage during his nine years on the force. In his spare time, Chris trains for obstacle races, like the World’s Toughest Mudder event (a gruelling 24-hour team-oriented obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental grit) he completed last year. With that strong mix of physical and logical intelligence, Chris is hoping to come out on top.

## Episode 203

Before Chris was summoned to the stage, a clip of him and the other three contestants, Dan Tweyman, Heather Whittaker, and Denise Yuen, introducing themselves was shown. In this clip, apart from Chris introducing himself, it was narrated that he wanted to prove that he could excel across all of the intelligences, not just physical and social. In the first challenge, Cranium Crash, Chris got 4 correct answers. As a result, Chris finished in last place and was awarded 1 overall point.

In the second challenge, Twitterverse, Chris was the first contestant to present his tweet based upon the theme of **Saturday night regrets** and he had composed, "GREAT WOMAN, HORRIBLE TATTOO. #TEQUILAREGRET." Guest judge Perez Hilton commented that anything that has "horrible" and "tattoo" in it is intriguing. Perez ranked Chris in 1st place for his tweet and Chris was awarded 5 overall points as a result.

In the third challenge, Model Mayhem, Chris selected 12 out of the 15 correct items for his model. He selected the incorrect glasses, hat, and watch. As a result, Chris finished in 3rd place and was awarded 2 overall points. In the fourth challenge, Faces, Chris got 3 correct answers. As a result, Chris finished in 3rd place and was awarded 2 overall points.

In the fifth challenge, Twisty Tune, Chris received an initial time of 58 seconds, but due to making 18 errors, received 1 minute and 30 seconds of added time. With a total time of 2 minutes and 28 seconds, Chris finished in 2nd place and was awarded 6 overall points. After the first five challenges, Chris had received a total of 16 overall points. As a result, he finished in 3rd place and was eliminated along with Denise. Jessi prompted applause for Chris and Denise in spite of their shared elimination.

After the sixth and final challenge, the Gauntlet, ended and Dan was declared the third finalist of the season, Chris and the other three contestants celebrated onstage with Jessi.
