S11 E09: Under the Sea Level

Olivia arrives in Amsterdam – a city built around outsmarting water – and discovers that sometimes the key to staying afloat is just going with the flow. Literally. When the racers tackle a series of floodgate checkpoints, Olivia loses her phone to a canal (thanks, Emma) but gains a new friend mid-panic attack Will her streak of accidental brilliance carry her to the finish line – or will the city that's spent 800 years holding back the sea finally teach her when to let go? If you're a kid who l...

S11 E8: Here Comes the Swan

The Go Green Race rolls into Copenhagen – a city so obsessed with bikes it practically has wheels instead of sidewalks. The challenge: follow cycling routes through eco corridors, crack clues about Denmark's national bird and make it to a protected canal zone before a drawbridge cuts off the finish line. For good! There's just one problem. Olivia really does not want to get on a bike. Can she find her rhythm in time – and can a new ally, a very showboaty Ryan, and a tight deadline lead to one of...

S11 E7: Eye of the Geyser

The Go Green Race lands in Iceland – land of ice, fire, and geysers that erupt whenever they feel like it. The racer’s next challenge: complete three geothermal energy tasks and get back in time to photograph a massive eruption. The trick is, nobody knows exactly when it'll blow. Can Olivia crack the clues, navigate a bubbling, sulphur-soaked volcanic landscape, and make it to the finish line before the Earth decides to explode? If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll...

S11 E6: Blowin’ in the Wind

The race lands in St. John's, Newfoundland – "The Rock" – where the Atlantic Ocean is the playing field for the next leg of the Go Green Race, and a storm is brewing. Each racer must decode a marine species riddle, pick the right habitat and get their marker before someone gets sent home. Olivia knows puffins and has loved them her whole life, so how does she end up in completely the wrong place? Add a Red Weather Warning, a very wise boat captain and Ryan celebrating way too early, and this epi...

S11 E5: Ice, Ice, Maybe?

The race lands on Ellesmere Island in Canada's High Arctic – and it is cold . Like, three-pairs-of-socks cold. The challenge: each racer has three hours to solve a glacier riddle and decide if it's fact or fiction. Get it wrong and you're going home. Olivia's snowmobile breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Ryan somehow stumbles onto the right answer for the wrong reasons, and the clock is not waiting for anyone. With elimination on the line, Olivia has to figure out what's actually happening to...

S11 E4: Go Your Own Way

The race heads to Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area in Quebec, where the stakes just got real: at least one racer is going home today. Olivia must navigate a "choose your own path" adventure through a stunning wildlife area – solo, after the group splits up one by one. There are cryptic clues, a surprise moose encounter, endangered monarch butterflies, a very confusing bilingual trail marker, and a hill that nearly destroys her legs. Can Olivia trust her instincts – and her so-so French – to ...
