Ladies and Gentlemen the battle for the Golden Ticket has come down to this. Canada and Tunisia, both with 6 keys each. One of them has the correct coloured key that opens the treasure chest containing the Golden Ticket. I will ask them to to take turns choosing one of their 6 keys and after each choice I will reveal the numbered chest that key corresponds to. It's a tense situation but it had to be! The very best of luck to both our contestants. We will begin with Canada, as the highest ranked nation at the previous TISC, to make their first choice of key Canada Tunisia 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
