Alain & Audrey

Alain Chanoine and Audrey Tousignant-Maurice are a Dating, and later Engaged, team on The Amazing Race Canada 2.

They were an inconsistent team, at times looking like the only team who posed a real threat to Natalie & Meaghan's dominance, and other times scraping along at the bottom of the pack. In the 10th leg, they fell behind early due to Audrey's poor navigation and Alain struggling with tasks. Though they still had a chance to survive, they missed several of their mussels at the Detour, allowing Ryan & Rob to overcome their Speed Bump and pass them, eliminating them in 5th.

Francophones Alain and Audrey are a captivating couple from Montreal who take pleasure in pushing each others' buttons. While they met more than a decade ago, it was the classic love story of both wanting to be pursued that kept them from actually forming a relationship until years later. Now that they're together, their love is strong and the chemistry is visible. Their laughter is infectious, they are highly entertaining, and their competitive personalities create a friendly rivalry between one another from time-to-time. Alain is also a stunt performer but it is Audrey who seems perpetually primed for action and physical challenges; this is truly a fearless couple.

Their approach to 'The Amazing Race Canada?' As Alain puts it, "We're just gonna be ourselves and hope for the best!" Teams would be wise to never underestimate these two – or the power of their charm. Alain and Audrey are devoted to establishing their independent careers and believe that winning 'The Amazing Race Canada' is meant to happen. They would love to take the winnings in order to help Alain's cousins in Haiti with their educational costs as well as to buy real estate and build a dream home for his mother.

Motto: "We are the 'A' team, in it to win it.
Team they most associate with from Season 1: Jet and Dave
