Colin Rose and Matt Roberts are a team of Best Friends on The Amazing Race Canada 10.

Being superfans of The Amazing Race and after applying for 10 seasons, Colin & Matt wanted to win for Newfoundland. They won the first half of Leg 3 and got their prize, but after Colin injured his knees during the race, they had a difficult time as they constantly finished in the bottom half for the rest of their legs. Nevertheless, they made it to the final leg. Although they were neck-in-neck with Michael & Tyson for the first couple of tasks, they struggled on the Final Race Summary Challenge and were overtaken by Taylor & Katie, finishing as the Runner-Up of the season.

Colin & Matt: A Decade In The Making
Team Motto: Be best kind!

The Stakes: If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and apply again. The tenth time is the charm for proud Newfoundlanders, Colin and Matt, who have applied to compete on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA for 10 consecutive seasons. Now on the Race, these best friends and superfans want to show Canadians to never give up on something – whether it's a goal, or a dream, or to make it on THE AMAZING RACE CANADA. They credit their perseverance to their upbringing in Newfoundland and say, "There's just something about being from 'The Rock!'"

Colin and Matt are the definition of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA superfans. Having applied for every season of the Race since the series began, Season 10 turned out to be the lucky number for this pair of best friends. Over the years, they have won the Newfoundland Urban Pursuit, which was a fundraising event run by Easter Seals Newfoundland & Labrador inspired by THE AMAZING RACE. Saying they are primed and ready to go is a major understatement!

Over 16 years, and living on opposite ends of the country, Colin and Matt's friendship remains incredibly strong. Being supportive of one another through tough times while being there to always help celebrate the good, is what their friendship it's all about! They see running the Race as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where they get to go on the biggest adventure of their lives, together.
