Skydiving is likely to be a roadblock. It appears they also had a task at the hotel.
Afternoon tea (on their website:http://www.fairmont.com/empress-victoria/dining/afternoontea/) strikes me as something possible for another task.
Any thoughts on the pit stop for leg 1? My best guess would be Butchart Gardens, about 24 km from Oak Bay where the teams got in taxis.
Wtf i think the racers in the pictures are not ours
I have not seen a blond and black girl in the other pics
Who is riana
Spoilers are not updatedCheck again, because I am seeing it. I am trying to post another one now.
Interesting
A possible pitstop
2 clueboxes
And no racers yet
The short video with the 2 racers Do not match any of the other contestant photos so far.
Could there be 10 or eleven teams?
Thanks windsor sue.
Hopefully its a setup :hug?:
Could they be staying at the airport overnight?
Flights out tonight include to: Edmonton, Calgary, Whitehorse, Winnipeg and Toronto. Did not include any flights to cities in BC.

I would guess Winnipeg, since they didn't go there S1, but what about those International flights, maybe U.S.? :iok
There were several flights to San Francisco :) I can't say it didn't cross my mind when they went to B.C. again on the first leg...that they might swing south, then maybe another U.S. city then back up to Canada. Might explain a few things. They required a passport but they were kind of evasive about the season going international. Oh well, I guess we will find out soon enough hahaha.Flights out tonight include to: Edmonton, Calgary, Whitehorse, Winnipeg and Toronto. Did not include any flights to cities in BC.

Just thinking about how in the world the second U-Turn has changed between Vic's picture and the video - could it POTENTIALLY have been a prize at some point? It might be a case of clutching at straws, but maybe the team that got U-Turned had a power to revert the U-Turn and then use their own afterwards? I don't know, just a guess, but it seems strange that, once was a team U-Turned is now a team U-Turning

There are 3 teams involved in the 2nd U-Turn switch! The 3 teams are 1) the twins (M/M); 2) the Indo-Asian couple; and 3) the Mixed Race couple. Here is my attempt at the sequence of events...correct me if I am wrong!
@11:26 HKT Vic posted only the first U-Turn of Hockey Girls UT'd by Ballet Guy (Rex and Bob)
@11:51 (board time) Vic posted that production was covering the board with a cloth
@"approx noon" HKT Video showed Indo-Asian couple UT'd by Mixed Race couple (I asked poster the time)
@12:47 (per Vic) Vic's pic showed Twins UT'd by Indo-Asian couple
So what happened? Production error or was production messing with Vic and others?

If they were reading us lik eCBS does, likely trying to mess with us?? :funny:

I could see this actually being the case. They are NOT fans of us haha. When we followed the final 3 last year in Toronto they gave us such a hard time.
The eliminated team: ????????
The eliminated team: ????????
I'm almost certain the eliminated team in leg 1 was "team pink"
Wait, there's 11 teams this time instead of 9? Sweet.
Team orange shoes/dark green looks very familiar, like celebrity. But I can't quite place the guy. But they also look like they could be brothers. Hope to see more photos of them.
Apparently, they went back to Canada.

I would guess it was taking in Vancouver before the flight to Hong Kong.
I was a little sad to find out they're back in the country before the final leg :(
What kind of route do you figure they're going for here?
Could they go international again?

I found so weird that they are out of Canada, again.
If anyone is wondering, the Speed Bump is on the famous building "Centre Georges Pompidou"

Anyone think that U-turn board looks strange in Stockholm? With that big board in the middle, it might be Must-Vote U-turn?

Probably their own version of it...
This is probably the final 5 leg... can't imagine a u-turn available to decide who goes to the F3...
I really thinking we have a full-on season, 11 teams with 12 legs...because if there are final 4/5 now in Sweden...I don't think there was enough time for 2 legs between Winnipeg and Paris.
This is probably leg 10.
Leg 9 was Paris
Leg 8: Non-elimination was ??
Leg 7: ??
Leg 6: Winnipeg
Leg 5: Yukon
Leg 4: Macau
Leg 3: Hongkong
Leg 2: Tofino
Leg 1: Victoria
Winnipeg was may 9, and Paris was yesterday may 14... that give us 5 days!
I'm pretty sure thats good for 2 legs!
May 10: teams leaves winnipeg for next destination
May 11: Leg/pitstop?
May 12: Teams leave/ pitstop?
May 13: Leg/pitstop?
May 14: Paris
Anyone willing to predict the final 2 legs?
I am thinking New Brunswick and PEI as the finish line. I keep thinking about Dairy Queen being named a sponsor, and the world's busiest DQ is in Charlottetown. So similar to Cadbury in T.O. last year.
The route format isn’t all that surprising. Remember that TAR Canada is sponsored by Air Canada, which is why they are flying out of Canada to a destination that AC serves directly and then back again to Canada.
Air Canada is only allowed to have international flights that originate or end in Canada, so AC can’t fly from e.g. Paris to London.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedoms_of_the_air#Fifth_freedom
Looks like they took a ferry from Hong Kong to Macau.
They could always take a train to somewhere else in Europe - i.e. London via the chunnel. I would bet on them traveling by train to one of AC’s other European destinations like Brussels, Zurich, London, Munich, Frankfurt, Geneva.

Besides that, Charlottetown would be a great place to end it, because it's where Canada was born (like Philadelphia to the US)
Whenever I thought of a Canadian version of Amazing Race going outside Canada, there are two spots that always came to mind:
. . .
France - Specifically, Vimy Ridge. I would like anyone, anywhere, to try and argue for a more emotional and significant Canadian landmark outside of Canada. Would make for a great "Moment of Reflection" part of the Race.
Wherever TAR CA travels internationally I think there will be some sort of tasks related to Canada - so Vimy Ridge would be a great choice. I was also thinking Dunkirk or Ghent (Treaty of Ghent).Whenever I thought of a Canadian version of Amazing Race going outside Canada, there are two spots that always came to mind:

Vimy Ridge is less than a two hour drive from Paris. Complete speculation though as there is no proof of sightings. It would depend on how much time between the sighting at the YYZ Airport and the Speedbump in Paris there actually was. Time for another leg? Maybe to the UK, with a self drive to Paris including a stop at Vimy Ridge along the way? Again, complete and total speculation.
After looking at the timeline, what's the point of flying to Hong Kong then back to Canada then back out to France? Surely there's a country inbetween these stops.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just country hop after each leg? like the American edition does? Instead of flying back to Canada before the final leg lol
Hi WindsorSue....
"Looks like the Indian couple is still in it....and I think that's Rob and Ryan's backpacks on the cart.Looks like the Indian couple is still in it....and I think that's Rob and Ryan's backpacks on the cart."
I hope that those are Rob and Ryan's backpacks, but I am not sure. Did we see their backpacks in one of the pictures for comparison?
And I am pretty sure the couple pictured there are Canadian (perhaps of Indian decent). ;)
Yep. It also looks like the Hockey Girls are still there.
Yep. It also looks like the Hockey Girls are still there.
We won't know until the show airs, but I'm getting the sense the hockey girls could be a pretty strong female team, which is great because Amazing Race hasn't had enough of them :(
I wouldn't exactly call Vanessa & Celina from last season a strong team, they had about as much bad luck with navigation as Caroline & Jennifer yet, like in Iqaluit, they found the strength when it was needed.
They would have to use an airline other than Air Canada which is still the major sponsor of the show. Maybe next year?

They could be potential decoys.....
Yeah, I thought you guys said Rob & Ryan were gone quite a while ago. I wonder what happened.They were not pictured in Hong Kong and Macau I believe. So I resigned them to an early boot position. BUT they resurfaced in Winnipeg then Paris.
Looks like! So we have conf of them and Hockey girls...
Must be aware of decoy possibilities.
I don't know Ottawa, anyone have a guess for Finale Mat??
Helene's reply to me:

Is this Rob and Ryan inside the Parliament building?

Why fly from Charlottetown to Moncton to Montreal to Ottawa. Makes no sense. So what I believe is Moncton (New Brunswick) was a leg right after the Charlottetown leg.
SO both museum sightings were the same place? ???
So we saw Rob & Ryan and Hockey girls. Does anyone recognize the team in moelepage's photo? I think there was a team and a cameraman. The team seems to be F/F or M/F with a blonde girl. But I don't remember we have a team like that. Or is it Pete & Mickey, they're blonde and long hair so they might look like girls from far away.

Apparently that low flying helicopter caused quite a stir...people even called the RCMP and were told it was nothing to worry about. hahaha
My point is that you can not assume that an airport sighting is NOT a decoy. You have to see the teams along the way, and even then be cautious. I have been there/done that enough to not trust airport sightings alone.
Do we have anything that could be the "East Indian" couple along the way??

The best example of this is the finale in New York of TAR21. If you check in the Sightings of that season (on the RFF Archived Boards) you'll see pics from the Twinnies and Abby & Ryan doing decoy work. ;)

This Reddit thread mentions boats on the Ottawa River. They counted at least 4. (One for each team + another camera). Someone else also mentions the helicopter circling Minto Park. http://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/267uhi/helicopters_over_centretowndowntown/ (http://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/267uhi/helicopters_over_centretowndowntown/)
Can we make sure that Ottawa is the final leg? Maybe we have some decoys but Rob & Ryan, Hockey girls were clearly spotted. Pete and Mickey seems to be there in the newest photo from moelepage but in the early photo from moelepage, we might see another team.
Race started about a month ago. Ie. A longer race. Tomorrow would be 1 year exactly from when TARCAN 1 finished.
Can the cluebox position tell us the decoys?
Seems like Season 2's going to be a full-fledged race with 11 teams, from the sounds of it.
Last year, Tim & Tim made a great come back with memory RB and won so we cannot really say anything about who the winner is. And why are you not satisfied with final 4 by reading only spoilers? We don't even know how good they are as racers and how their personalities are.To me
I think I have watched enough amazing races to make a good guess at who is good at memory or not.

Rob and ryan look like the next zev and justin
Pete and mickey look lovable or annoying
Indian couple looks like they fight a lot or need to learn how to communicate
Hockey seems very competitive
I would have preferred something else
I think there was a memory task some where.
Here's how i think it played out
Hockey wins
Pete and mickey get 2nd
Rob and ryan are 3rd.
If the memory task is hard then I can easily see rob and ryan getting second or even 1st.
To me, pete and mickey don't seem like the type of people good with memory.
Anyways, not really satisfied with this year's top 4.
Dammit! 3rd?.. oh well, they got to run the full race.
This was the night before the final leg was filmed. Major's Hill Park is on a bump out of land between the Parliament Buildings and the National Gallery. It is a very iconic spot to take pictures, especially when the tulips are in bloom (which they were), because the Parliament buildings serve as a back drop. Chevrolet is a sponsor again this year. The prizes have not been announced yet. I am not saying this could be the finish line, but it could make for a nice "money shot". I just thought it would be worth posting just in case.

If this is how it turns out, it sounds great to me. We'd have the first parent/child winners in the franchise (which Tim Sr. has been adamant about pointing out :P ) followed by an all-female winner. The American version's only had two of those.
And since the person who recognized Rob & Ryan said one of them had a cancer-related backstory, it'd be nice to see them in the final 3, as well.

New London, PEI (Lucy Maud Montgomery birthplace) to Moncton, New Brunswick is only a 2 hour drive via the 18 km long Confederation Bridge. Just noting that they did not need to fly. It would also account for their "disappearance" between these two locations. My theory is that the L.M.M. house was the pitstop and they drove to Moncton. FYI Moncton is home to Magnetic Hill.

I can only imagine what that greeter would look like, Sue :P
I can't help but wonder if there was a first leg and 11th team that was completely missed, 10 just seems like an unusual number. But then again, you know Amazing Race nowadays often likes to start off with something big (referring in this case to the skydive onto the beach).
Guess we'll find out when they officially reveal the teams :)

I have wondered the same thing because of that very first tweet that said teams were spotted on a flight from T.O. to Calgary. But she also said that the teams were "all young". I am also waiting to find out how many episodes there are. If they stick to last year's schedule, they should start releasing info in about 2 to 2/12 weeks!
I'm sure the missing leg is between Winnipeg and Paris... Maybe Cuba, or the DR?

Just like last season's finish line on Olympic Island. The cars were right there, and they had a perfect view of the Toronto skyline in the background (they used that same shot to talk about the cars in every episode, too).
I was just looking up what the place looks like, and I could totally picture Jon and the teams standing there.

You say the lady with the full sleeve tattoo is Jenn King?
I don't think it looks like her (too thin) and I haven't seen a picture of Jenn with the full sleeve tattoo on her left arm
Here is a picture of her with bare left arm (unless she got tattoo recently) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DfIY7guit2M/ShaobwLdUzI/AAAAAAAAANE/iEO_ubAhciA/s1600/Jenn+King+Photo.JPG
(large picture didn't want to post)
Maybe the girl to the right of the tattoo woman, but I don't think you could really tell for sure... Or what am I missing (cuz I am great at overlooking the obvious)
I am left still wondering if the Kings
The two ladies putting wet suits on or off are Laura and Jackie - notice the tattoos on the short hair blonde (Jackie), and the other has a white streak in her dark hair (Laura). I'm thinking the Kings were eliminated first as there are no spoiler photos of them. Possibly a leg before they went to Tofino?
I lucked out, I hadn't seen the photo of Jenn with her new tattoo, but I didn't think it was her build.
So are the Kings first eliminated if that is Jackie in the Tofino picture??
thanks windsor sue!
Think they have a GREAT bunch of competitors this season!
Its because Jet & Dave are the best! Stupid Begging Task....thanks windsor sue!
Think they have a GREAT bunch of competitors this season!
Agreed!!! :yess: But I think it's funny that in their bios, more than half of them associate themselves most with Jet and Dave. Which is fine by me. I hope we see some humour from Rob and Ryan, Pete and Mickey! And I still reserve the right to cry every time I see the Tims cross the finish line. :'(

That's my spec for the season! Not really sure on everything.
So Laura & Jackie are eliminated next? :(
What if they take a Roadblock penalty, them mentioning they were vegetarian could be the editors foreshadowing :P

I think Rex and Bob are vegans as well. I also think (my opinion) Rex is the producer's favoured cast member. Any chance it will be a NEL?
And this is relavant because?

I haven't been keeping up with the Spoilers, but I seen somewhere on here (not sure where though ??? ), that Jon did an interview before the season aired, where he said something along the lines off "unlike last season, the strongest all round team will win."He didn't. I just watched the extended mat chats and Jon told Sukhi and Jinder that there are no weak teams left. I think this is true, and whoever wins will become the strongest team.
So far, based on this, it's pretty clear he's talking about Hockey. :groan:
Not that I don't like them, because it's great to see a F/F team dominate like this... FINALLY, but I just don't get why he'd say that knowing it would be soooo obvious after the first few episodes? :res:
I'm just hoping he was throwing us off, and didn't actually spoil the winners. :groan:
Okay lets summarize:
May 10 Filming Winnipeg leg
May 11 Travel from Winnipeg to Toronto to ???
May 12 unknown
May 13 unknown
May 14 Filming Paris leg
May 15 Set up crew flying Paris to Montreal
May 16 unknown
May 17 Filming Montreal leg
So there is certainly a bigger "gap" between Winnipeg and Paris. I find it difficult to believe they just flew to Europe for one leg. If this is the missing leg, they flew to a destination that would require local transportation to Paris. It would also mean Winnipeg is not an NEL.
Well we know Normandie is a NEL, with Ryan and Rob being last and doing the speedbump in Paris
One of A/A or the twins will be eliminated in Paris
Funny thing is the next leg is in Montréal, so also french advantage!
We then have two Options:
If Montréal is a EL, the surviving team from A/A or twins gets eliminated
If its a NEL, then Suki and Jinder are also a potential candidate to get eliminated in the PEI leg because thats where they were last spoted..
So:
Leg 7: Normandie (NEL)
Leg 8: Paris (Most probably EL)
Leg 9 Montréal
Leg 10: PEI
Leg 11: New-Brunswick

Let's review this together, the next leg is NEL with Ryan & Rob checked in last and will perform Speed Bump in Paris. As for Paris, one of the Francophone teams (AA or the twins) could be eliminated in Paris.
I could prefer Montreal is the last NEL leg; whereas PEI is the F5 elimination as AA or twins might be eliminated.
I am on the same train of thought as Maanca re: Superleg, as everything "balances out". Maybe too balanced, idk? Of course this would mean the 2 Quebec teams get eliminated in Paris and Montreal. The irony! But look at the elims so far this season. Two due to injuries. Cormac & Nicole on the leg before hometown. Rex and Bob with the greeter from the RWB.Well we know Normandie is a NEL, with Ryan and Rob being last and doing the speedbump in Paris

I'm kind of expecting the 2 Atlantic provinces to be a Superleg, but I'm not sure they'd do that 2 seasons in a row.
What I'm curious to find out is where the heck the 2nd U-Turn is, seemingly that's a complete unknown in the sightings department. I have no doubt it's going to get used unlike last year, with a team as strong as the hockey players in the race.

Considering the small amount of info we had for these legs, I think we have done a great job!

I think it is an even shorter distance from the Lucy Maude Montgomery House? And re: my Confederation Bridge. Remember the stats they provided at the beginning of the show? They quoted 4 ferries were used. (so far: Victoria to Vancouver; Hong Kong to Macau & back again) Where is the fourth one? But I just think it would be sad if they didn't showcase the bridge. :(I am on the same train of thought as Maanca re: Superleg, as everything "balances out". Maybe too balanced, idk?

According to Google Maps, the distance between Charlottetown, PEI to Shediac, NB is approximately 1 hour and 55 minutes by land if without traffic. Teams could require self driving for the penultimate leg and I think Chevrolet Cars are being available in Prince Edward Island.

Whether there is a chance of a normal Pit Stop between PEI to New Brunswick.
And the 57 shots on goal by Nat and Meaghan. It's the TAR equivalent of BB (yeah I am going to say it) expect the unexpected LOLI am on the same train of thought as Maanca re: Superleg, as everything "balances out". Maybe too balanced, idk?

Ok so this is 2 episodes where Rob and Ryan have completed both detours and an extra task (speed bump/fast forward). Since they are spoiled for Final 3. Will they hold the record for the most challenges/tasks performed in a single race? I am only comparing the US and Canadian versions.
So gotta give some props for never giving up!
If they do win this would outdo The Beakmans and the Tims as the come from the bottom winners.

This is twice now that they hit the mat at dusk.

Theoretically they didn't finish the fast forward... :funny:

They still performed in those tasks, whether they finished them or not, correct?Sure, I guess you could research the most tasks attempted. I don't know TAR stats though!!! Here is the thing I have noticed with many of the Detour tasks this season...in a lot of cases, they have been far apart, requiring travel time if they switch. I think Whitehorse and Normandy were bad. Maybe Montreal was too?

The Final Memory Task could still involve food:Has there ever been this much food before in any other season? I think the breakfast in Whitehorse was very noticeable...it was right in the Route Marker at the start of the leg.
Leg 1: Tea
Leg 2: Fish
Leg 3: Snake Soup
Leg 4: Almond Cookies
Leg 5: Ranch Breakfast
Leg 6: Pierogis
Leg 7: Calvados
Leg 8: Mentos
Leg 9: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Leg 10: Potatoes/Mussels
Leg 11: Dairy Queen Ice Cream & Cake
I think food memory challenge is less likely since there was a fast forward on leg 9 and the grilled cheese was not encountered by a team (i.e. Sukhi and Jinder) who did the ff :)Are they in the final? Like I said, there are vagaries in all 3 of our guesses. If Sukhi and Jinder had made the final, I am sure they could have put 2 and 2 together and said grilled cheese = Montreal.
