Title: TAR Canada 2: SPECULATION and DISCUSSION of Spoilers
Post by: Leafsfan. on April 27, 2014, 12:50:18 AM
Tomorrow is the Vancouver Sun Run with full road closures everywhere. SO Vancouver is unlikely.

A lot of road closures in Victoria as well! Maybe they are headed somewhere else on Vancouver Island?

So far about 4 teams
FF with red backpacks
MF? With red and black backpacks
MF with yellow backpacks
MM? With black backpacks
And
A black male with black backpack
A female? With purple backpack
Not  much
Probably 9 teams again

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.

Willow Beach:

http://www.victoriabc.ca/victoria/willows-beach.htm

Willows Beach Park  is a white sandy beach destination located in Oak Bay which is northeast of the City of Victoria, British Columbia (B.C.), Canada on Vancouver Island. The white sandy beach is one of the more popular sandy beaches in the Victoria Regional District.

Willows Beach measures about 1.2 hectares in size and includes change rooms, toilets, day use picnic sites, concession (summer only) sightseeing benches, playground, grass lawns and a paved walking trail.

Activities enjoyed on and from the beach include swimming, sunbathing, beachcombing, sightseeing and kayaking.

The views from the beachfront look out over Discovery Island and out onto Mount Baker over in Washington, U.S.A.

During the summer months the beach attracts large crowds and it wise to arrive early to secure your spot in the sand. The waters are particularlr shallow and protected from the elements making the beach popular for youg children.

A walking path connects Willows Beach to another popular oceanside park called Cattle Point which is part of Uplands Park.

Based on all the pictures in the live sightings, here is what I can conclude
At the airport: 5 teams
F/F red backpacks
M/F yellow backpacks
M/F M: black backpack and F with purple backpack [had similar jackets so I assume they are a team]
M/M black backpacks
M/F F [assuming] had the red backpack, M had the black backpack
That is only 5 teams

At the empress: At least 8 teams on the lawn; one missing
We can assume everyone on the lawn did the skydiving roadblock  :funny:
We also had 4 more teams
M/M with green and black backpacks
There is also 2 females, one with a blue backpack? and one wearing purple.
There is also one extra male.
Therefore there are 9 teams. :yess:
I am assuming the all female team with red, m/f team with yellow and m/f with the black and purple backpacks checked in because none are seen with the group of 6.
Also there was no purple backpack?

There is my analysis. We need more pics

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.

Butchart Gardens would be a great place for the pit stop. It's very beautiful.  I looked at their website (http://www.butchartgardens.com/ (http://www.butchartgardens.com/)) and couldn't find any mention of a special event restricting access to some areas yesterday. Of course, I couldn't find any mention of restricted access on any day this spring. I do think we will get some pictures from tourists if TAR Canada was there.

Some could be crew. Riana, I am presuming is a friend of the poster. She also posted a pic of "crew" but I believe that is her crew, as in her friends. There are other Instagram posts coming in. Clue box pic by a different person. and there is another cluebox pic I just found next to a plaque. check the spoilers page.

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.

Based on how the cluebox was positioned the plaque is not important.
It could spoil a  location.

Well, the post with the still pic didn't mention teams - just camera and sound. There could also have been pros there for the task, set up crew and producers. The pics aren't that clear, either. As for more teams, there could be. I seem to remember the casting call mentioning more. Plus IF the start line was on the icefields, who's to say they all made it to the Calgary airport at the same time when those first tweets came in? I am sure that all the teams didn't arrive in Vancouver and/or Victoria at the same time. So we will just have to wait for more info.

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.

You guys have made my day, thanks so much!

While normally I wouldn't be so interested in Amazing Race spoilers, the one thing I wished for Canada season 2 was for it to race outside the country (not that Season 1 was bad by any means, I think they handled the one-country route better than Amazing Race 8, and the tasks were just as tough if not tougher than recent seasons), and I am thrilled to see that indeed they have.

New this year was a clause in the application about requiring a valid Canadian passport and being able to travel around the world, but the show's FAQ never actually confirmed it.

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

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?

Since I can't upload my powerpoints I will just describe it.
Leg 1
There are 11 teams.
All 11 were spotted at the airport or in Victoria.
At the Empress, everyone at the lawn did the skydiving.
In one picture with the guy, hockey doesn't seem to be in it. They may have advanced on and won the 1st leg and the 2 express passes. Reason for U-Turn?
I think the mother/son team was preparing to leave, so they could be 2nd.
The other interacial couple could be 3rd.
The eliminated team: ????????

Great work finding the teams for TARCan (tar-can.. just doesn't sound fun)!
Glad to see that they came to Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island. One of the best places on the planet (imho).

And even more happy to see that this race is outside Canada now.
I don't know how I feel about Rex Harrington racing, but he can be charismatic. But I was hoping for more of a Kenny Brain type of gay rep for Canada.

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.

Aren'tthey twins? I tried to look for celebrity twins from Canada and found beach volleyball players Lucas and Liam Palmer. However I thing the TARCanada team looks older than them.

Also - shouldn't this message be put in Contestants spoiler info board?

Post by: fossil-racer on May 10, 2014, 01:33:21 PM
Some of my analysis on the teams
Hockey- they could win. they look like a dominate all-female team.
M/F with yellow- win?-no I think they need to balance each others strengths because they seem like a team that would argue and complain.
Interacial- they seem like a group that is like justin and jeniffer. They have to work together and not argue a lot.
Pete and Mickey- most lovable or annoying
M/F with red and black- they look like the next Chris and Anastasia. maybe lots of arguing.
team pink girls- i think they rush a lot and get frustrated a lot.
twins boys- maybe overthink things a lot, look like an alpha male team
bob/rex- they can feel the pressure, looks like a team that will get lost.

Post by: Vitoko on May 10, 2014, 03:36:01 PM
I'm actually ok with them going back to Canada before the final leg, especially because Season 1 was really good and only took place in it,  the show is trying to showcase the most out of their own country.

In that case, it's nice to know they've covered at least one of the three provinces not visited last year :)

Likewise, hopefully at least one of the teams is from Atlantic Canada, the show got some outcry last year about having no representation east of Montreal.

YYZ Toronto    AC 880 Air Canada    8:30 AM    9:15 AM    T-2A    Landed 45 min late

This is quite an interesting route, basically this season's going to be half-Canada, half-international. As long as Hong Kong and Macau weren't the only international legs, I'm happy :)

Here is what I'm thinking for the route:

Leg 1: Calgary to Victoria
Leg 2: Tofino, BC
Leg 3: Hong Kong
Leg 4: Macau
Leg 5: Yukon
Leg 6: Winnipeg, MB
Leg 7: ?? (Somewhere exotic? Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico?)
Leg 8: ?? (Somewhere exotic or Europe?)
Leg 9: Paris (Now)
Leg 10: Montréal?? (lots of Paris to Montréal flight for a big city finale)
Leg 11: ?? (More team, more legs?)

Is there also the possibility that we DO have 11 teams, and that we missed one on the first leg (and they got eliminated early?)
Title: Re: TAR Canada 2: SPECULATION and DISCUSSION of Spoilers

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.

Yes, that makes complete sense. If the show's big sponsor is Air Canada then we probably wont see a true flying 'around the world' race. But that doesn't matter. If they have to come back to Canada during the race, then leave the country again is more than alright and better than just staying completely in Canada.


I am fingers crossed that Rob/Ryan survived the speed bump leg in Paris!

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.

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.

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).
They are not far from 3 gateways back to Canada. London (via the tunnel), Paris (train) or Brussels (train) all have direct Air Canada flights back to Canada.

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

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.

Could be but I thought:
Hockey Girls
Rob and Ryan
East Indian couple

The tweet by Helene from the first sighting at airport said she saw man/woman in red. That's the East Indian couple.

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.  ;)

They were last seen at Montreal airport en route to Charlottetown. I am assuming this was final 4 at this stage. There were 2 pics in Montreal airport. One with the other 3 teams (I think that is the East Indian male int the 1st pic too) and a separate one with this couple. So I guess my question is...would they transport this couple to Charlottetown, as a decoy? You guys are much more experienced than I. But I just don't know if TAR Cda is that sophisticated.

With how few teams are left, it couldn't be some Detour of going by air or by water. Maybe it's something like the Season 24 finale and they have to spot the Finish Line (and raft to it?) That's my guess.

I can't see there being another leg after Ottawa...it's like Toronto last year. Dynamic ending. That first pic posted by Moe Lepage...I think that was production, possibly Jon filming the intro. I don't see the sound guy there...just the cameraman...if that was a team, wouldn't the soundman be there?

Another thing to consider about the pics from Parliament Hill. People just can't run in and out of Centre Block like that. If you have ever been there, even as a tourist, there is some pretty difficult security to go through. If you notice in the other pics, there are police cars blocking traffic. That first pic had no police cars...they showed up later with the teams.

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.

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

We don't even know if there was a memory challenge this year. Plus sometimes there is a physical component to the memory challenge. There are always variables. Consider the Tims last year...Tim Sr would not have remembered the flags and flowers if his wife hadn't tipped him off before he left. This played such a huge roll in their winning and production is well aware of this. Probably all these S2 teams as well. They could have studied everything along the way and production decided not to have one! But I do agree with Leafsfan, that sounds more like a wish list.

3:32 PM - 21 May 2014

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.

So in a nutshell, Ryan is this season's "feel-good story" Racer. Even though we have yet to actually see him race, he sounds like the kind of person I'd root for :)

Of course, if he does something uncouth then editing can make him look like whatever they want.

Yeah, Major's Hill Park could very well have been the finish line. Good point!

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).

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.

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

Young red haired girl, braided pig-tails, straw hat, freckles. Just a guess. LOL :iok

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!

TAR Asia started the 1st two season with non elimination legs, maybe TAR Canada did the same thing, could account for an extra leg.   ???

Well, there are several times where we could have missed something. But the more I think of it, I am kind of liking the idea that someone suggested and they went to Normandy. Especially since this year marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day (it's actually tomorrow!!!)

I came upon this interesting tweet:
Amanda ‏@amanacondaa May 21
they were filming a chevrolet commercial on major's hill park this evening. what are the stats for pick-up truck owners in ottawa?
3:32 PM - 21 May 2014

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.


LOL. When TAR ended in Atlanta at the Swan House, production told me they were filming a "Ford Commercial" and it was a closed set.

Yeah, right. :lolmao:

Yeah, Major's Hill Park could very well have been the finish line. Good point!

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.

I was waiting impatiently for CTV to announce the prizes....YEP 2 Chevy Silverados!!!  :wohoo:

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?

Yes, I can see that now that the official photos of Laura and Jackie were released this morning, and I saw Jackie's thinner build.

That's what I am inclined to think. Of course just because we didn't get a sighting of a team doesn't mean they were eliminated, I know that. But we can account for all other teams at least once Tofino and beyond. (I have a nice chart on paper mapped out). Unless Victoria was a NEL, that is.

One other thing I would like to put out there, the new Brewster Glacier Skywalk was set to have its grand opening the week after the start of filming, and it is something to keep in mind as a start line challenge.

So there is para-sailing in Calgary, then sky-diving in Victoria. Presuming they make the partner do the skydiving that didn't do the para-sailing (based on CTV previews): Sukhi, Rex and Rob do the para-sailing; Jinder, Bob and Ryan skydive.

Which makes me wonder how many of them made their partner do the Calgary challenge because they had a fear of heights...only to be made to do the skydiving in Victoria.   :tantrum :yess: :funny:

This is a screencap from Episode 2. They were seen filming "a commercial" at that park the night before the finale was filmed, the woman who tweeted thought there wasn't much of a demand for pickups in Ottawa. (so true). Unlike last year I am not convinced this is the finish line. Thoughts?

Hong Kong has had only one single eliminated team in the past, Mary & Peach of TAR2. No teams got eliminated in HK since their elimination.

It is the most visited city-state in various TAR franchises: TAR2, TAR11 (AS), TAR17, TARA 2, TARA 3, TARI 1, TARAU 1, TARNO 1

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."
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:

Title: Re: TAR Canada 2: SPECULATION and DISCUSSION of Spoilers

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.

Here's the summary as WindsorSue stated:

April 26: Leg starts in Jasper, travel to Calgary
April 27: Victoria
April 28: Tofino
April 29: Extended Pit Stop rest
April 30: Depart Tofino, heading to Vancouver Airport with a ferry from Nanaimo to Tsawwassen in Mainland
May 1: Air Canada flight to Hong Kong
NOTE: The flight added one day passed through the International Date Line west across the 180th meridian
May 2: Hong Kong with a late afternoon/early evening arrival flight
May 3: Hong Kong
May 4: Macau
May 5: Extended Pit Stop rest
May 6: Depart Macau to Yukon with an Air Canada flight to Vancouver from Hong Kong
May 6 (again; the same day due to IDL): Evening flight to Yukon from Vancouver
May 7: Yukon
May 8: Extended Pit Stop rest?
May 9: Depart Yukon Pit Stop; travel to Winnipeg
May 10: Winnipeg
May 11: Flight from Winnipeg to Toronto, then to an unknown location somewhere in Europe
May 12: Normandy
May 13: Extended Pit Stop
May 14: Paris
May 15: Extended Pit Stop
May 16: Crew flew from Paris to Montreal
May 17: Montreal
May 18: Charlottetown
May 19: -
May 20: Moncton
May 21: -
May 22: Ottawa

Maybe I am right, WindsorSue?

It looks good. I was trying to figure out when and where this missing leg was...whether it was before or after the Paris leg. (Not knowing really irritates me). If it was before the Paris leg with the Speed Bump, then that changes the NEL from Winnipeg to ???. All we know for sure is that Pierre and Michel were seen at T.O. Pearson, then the two sightings in Paris. I tend to believe the leg was an international leg because that would mirror the two Hong Kong/Macau legs, and that it would be in close proximity to Paris, requiring local transportation.
Re: Moncton leg...we can't be sure of this either. All we know is they flew from Moncton to Ottawa and there is the Shediac (N.B.) Lobster in the opening credits.

Re: Episode 6 preview and the "bombshell announcement"
http://www.ctv.ca/TheAmazingRaceCanada.aspx?vid=413756 (http://www.ctv.ca/TheAmazingRaceCanada.aspx?vid=413756)
We know it was an early morning start for leg 7 from the spoilers we got out of Winnipeg Int'l airport.
My opinion is:
Teams started leg 7 from the corner of Portage & Main in Winnipeg. I can only see 4 teams in the "announcement" segment. By the light of day seen, the order of departure is:
Alain & Audrey are definitely 1st (of these 4 teams)
maybe Mickey & Pete (they r inside a cab)
Natalie & Meaghan/Sukhi & Jinder

I wouldn't be surprised if Natalie & Meaghan did lose this leg because of a train. Let me tell you, as someone who previously lived in the prairie provinces, some of those trains can go on and on for like 10 minutes!

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'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.

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

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.

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. :(

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 LOL

The preview of Episode 8 shows a fight developing between Pierre & Michel and Alain & Audrey. It sounds like the Twins lie to Audrey and Alain is not happy about it. I can't help but feel this will play into the next two eliminations.

Since TAR Canada 2 reuse TAR 20 boot order scheme, it may be coincidence that Rachel & Dave and Natalie & Meaghan dominated that season. I think that Nat & Meg will win this season.

Just my speculation, not spoiler.

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.

I think they still had their underwear on when they were told the FF was claimed. But yes, they certainly deserve some admiration. This is twice now that they hit the mat at dusk.

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?

No, I looked on Google map, and it was maybe 5-10 mins in taxi, not even!

The Final Memory Task could still involve food:
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

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.
But I also wonder if it could be a combination? Food, Greeter identification & Welcome. A large puzzle. The food alone would be almost too easy. Would they have known the identity of the Whitehorse greeter or that the Hong Kong greeter was an actress? A combo would account for the vagary of the Macau and Paris welcome.

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.
