Pierre Forget and Michel Forget are a team of Twin Brothers on The Amazing Race Canada 2.
They were intense racers who were seen as obnoxious by the other teams due to their aggressive style of gameplay, using any means to get ahead, even if it meant deceiving other teams and breaking their trust. They had been building momentum entering the 8th leg, with two straight Top-2 finishes, and spent most of the leg in 2nd place once again. However, despite two U-Turns (one of which the twins used on another team) and a Speed Bump being in play in a fairly linear leg, Michel completely blew their lead over other teams during the Mentos Roadblock, requiring nearly 8 hours to finish it, and they ended up being eliminated in 6th place as a result.

The Forget brothers were delivered as a team 42 years ago and have since shared a passion for competition, sport, and life in general.
Before becoming dedicated to their current roles, both brothers competed in high-level freestyle skiing. Michel gave up his dream of being a competitive skier so that Pierre could compete full time, as their family could not afford for both boys to be heavily involved in the sport. Pierre went on to become a member of the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association team and won the International Ski Federation (FIS) Moguls World Cup title in 1994. With their positive personalities and driven attitudes the brothers moved forward, never looked back, and continue to set new goals. They view 'The Amazing Race Canada' as the ultimate challenge. These identical twins now co-run the family meatpacking business located about 30 kilometres outside of Montreal. Like most twins, Pierre and Michel share an uncommon bond and often finish each other's sentences. "If viewers enjoy sparkling yet very tasty and powerful cocktails, let's say that we are like a mix of 'Bon Cop/Bad Cop' with some 'Fred and Barney' and a dash of Bob and Doug MacKenzie…and make sure you shake it well!" said these inseparable brothers...in unison.
Motto: "Go big or go home. Be fast and effective. Losing is not an option." Team they most associate with from Season 1:
- Pierre: "Jet and Dave",
- Michel: "Absolutely the twin sisters!"
