, which is decided entirely by fan voting. The duo of Carlow Rush, 22, and Jacksun Fryer, 21, bested six other finalists but could not surpass Strong, who was awarded the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history for her version of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep. Funkanometry were spectacular during the two-hour broadcast, with a routine that gave judges Howie Mandel, Lilly Singh, Trish Stratus, and Kardinal Offishall the ability to fast forward, slow down, and rewind the pair’s dance moves in real time.
