Maybe F/F was in very far front of these teams? One may only hope! Please bring F/F teams that is strong as Dustin & Kandice, Natalie & Meaghan, Nat & Kat, Kisha & Jen, Brook & Claire, Kym & Alli, Pam & Winnie, Natalie & Nadiya, Carol & Brandy, Valeria & Bodhana, The Godlewskis, Michelle & Jo, Ferna & Fran and Charla & Mirna!  :gaah:  :(

With 7 leg wins and the same average as Rachel & Dave, Natalie & Meaghan shattered records for F/F teams.

To be fair, most of the TARCan 2 teams were incredibly weak compared to Natalie & Meaghan. Same case with TAR20 and Dave & Rachel.

The F/F teams possibly being booted so early on  :(

12 teams :hoot:
7 mf :gaah: well that's one way to guarantee a mf reaches the finale if the finale is not 3 mm

I'm thinking at least 2 MF reach the finals and at least 1 mm reach the finals.

can tarcan just go full international jfc at this route

As Air Canada is their sponsor, they're kinda limited to flights starting and ending with them. And as evidenced last year when the Hong Kong preview sparked a heated social media reaction from people taking the title "The Amazing Race CANADA" literally, many viewers don't understand the other worldwide iterations and don't want a full international race, if at all.

I kinda expect that same sort of reaction again this year when the Chile leg comes up :P

Well, seeing as how Air Canada is a member of the Star Alliance Code Share (I believe one of the founding members), it really shouldn't be a problem. They used code share flights between Santiago and Buenos Aires. It got my hopes up. I think this may be the final year we see this hopping in and out stuff and I almost feel it's being done this way to ween those "Canada-only" believers towards a real Amazing Race circumnavigating the globe.

Maybe because there was no MF in the Final 3 in the past 2 seasons and the producers are making sure at least one makes it. Still hoping the Blue FF shows up, looks dim for them though  :gaah:

Wait, are they really take the non Air Canada flight this season??? I can't believe it.  :colors

So the Star Alliance have Lufthansa, Air NZ, Turkish Airlines, South African Airlines, Ethiopia Air, EVA Air, Singapore Airlines e.t.c., I can't wait to see Oceania (Aus and NZ), more Asia, more Europe and Africa legs in the future.

I'm frustrated at people already giving up hope on this season that is halfway done. I actually don't see the route as being terrible considering they were probably going to travel around Canada as it is. They really aren't repeating that many locations and they are going to different ones not featured. I also have a lot of confidence that TARCan can create some pretty spectacular legs.

Having both F/Fs out is depressing, but hopefully the cast is good and balanced so that there are a lot of rootable teams

Everyone is complaining that the only 2 female teams were eliminated so early. Personally, I don't care because:

A.) The producers couldn't have known who gets eliminated when. They aren't psychic  :funny:
B.) With the success that Natalie & Meaghan had last season (and to some extent Vanessa & Celina in Season 1) they probably figured they didn't need to focus so much on another strong female team
C.) With 7 Coed teams this season, it seems clear that the producers want a Coed win this season, especially since a Coed team hasn't even made the final 3 in TarCan history!

Just my two cents

A  :funny:
B That is not an excuse for less ff teams or non-dominant ff teams
C We will see if that happens.

At this point, it looks like an Mm team will win and I know which one will most likely do it.
The producers failed this time in my opinion.
After last season's cast, this one is disappointing.

Well, I'll wait until we see them on TV. Every racer looks bland, dull or steretypical. Don't forget we are quite literally catching them at their worst while racing! Jet and Dave looked horrible. Rex & Bob looked like a complete disaster in Hong Kong! The only team I ever felt really good about from the sightings was Mickey and Pete, and only because of that one shot in Victoria where Mickey was smiling at the person taking the pic.

The first time I saw them in a sighting last year, I could tell Natalie & Meaghan were going to be a strong team - maybe not as strong as they actually turned out to be! - but that they'd be winning a few legs.

I could be wrong, but I'm getting kinda that same feeling about Blue M/M.

TAR Canada 4 must have more FF teams than M/F and M/M! Cast F/F teams which is strong like Natalie & Meaghan, Charla & Mirna, Michelle & Jo and Dustin & Kandice (the truly top 4 strongest English speaking FF teams!).

And speaking of which, producer Mark Lysakowski tweeted just the other day that editing had entered "picture lock". I didn't know what that meant, but apparently it's the stage when the visuals are ready and they move on to the audio mixing.

Probably not. I don't remember when S1 or S2 titles were first announced. But if they only finished the final video edit, I think it will be another week. I DO remember they tweeted the first ep was complete last year. Wasn't it shortly afterwards the title was announced?

I still don't get why TAR Canada doesn't just have the Starting Line in the same city as the first Leg.  Or at least, close enough where a plane ride is not needed.  They aren't leaving the country anyway.  Seems like such a waste of time, effort and money just to try and emulate a regular TARUS Starting Line/opening Leg with a forced plane ride.
Title: Re: TAR CAN Bitch Moan & SQUEAL Thread * SPOILERS*
Post by: Dånooky on April 29, 2016, 10:27:59 PM
10 teams = better chances of first leg being KOR or NEL, each team getting more air time, and more unpredictability on elimination legs.

Not happy about what seems like an all-Canada race. But admittedly, if the Canada legs are at least good to great like TARCAN1 (and certainly nothing like 3's legs, those were all awful except the Saskatchewan leg), and this cast is alright, then hopefully the season ends up just fine.

If Gino & Jesse's words ultimately ended up tanking this franchise though by making "The Amazing Race" nothing but a patriotic over-the-top Canadian propaganda show...  :groan: :groan: :groan:

My main complaint is Regina, again. However, if the third leg is domestic it's not a good sign that we will have two international destinations as in seasons 2 and 3. It could still happen, yes.

Maybe they're switching it up this season? They don't have to go international within the first 3 legs all the time.

I'm not really worried about it. They'll go to atleast one international destination, it'd be weird not to do it after two seasons in a row.

TAR Brazil has had 4 M/M 5 F/F and 2 F/F and 3 out of 4 M/M booted first, TAR Philippines 1 has had 3 M/M, 5 F/F and 3 M/F and 3 F/F teams in F5, in season 2 has had 4 M/M, 4 F/F, 3 M/F

It is also the case for TAR Australia, TAR ANZ has had 2 M/M, 3 F/F and 5 M/F, and 2 out of 3 first boot were F/F, I very dissapointed when Inga & Tiharna forgot the ring in the boat and booted first

In short: It's believed we're on Leg 7 now, and Leg 6 was a KOR because it took place just yesterday. There were 7 in Leg 5, so if this is the case, there'd be 6 now.

Not sure on the number of legs, but I predict another international jump possibly next leg.

So Air Canada dropped out as sponsor, they should get Air Transat or Westjet for next seasons. That somehow explains partly why there are only 10 teams (one my hunches, apart from making sure an F/F or M/F wins).

That's not the reason. If you've ever read the comments on the Facebook, this is the way the casuals like it (well, some of them would rather no international at all. I gave up trying to argue with them after season 2, lol). But it shows in the ratings, an average Canadian episode sees almost twice the viewership of a US episode on CTV (#1 week after week).

Sudbury, Saskatoon and the Edmonton waste-management plant were terrible, yes. It wasn't that they were bad places to go, it's what they did there. Could have been handled much better, and I think production really dropped the ball.
But I have high hopes for this year, the only problematic spots I've seen are Hamilton and maybe Calgary (we don't know a lot about Calgary)
There are still some fantastic places to go in Canada, make no mistake. And I still think Vancouver needs a better leg than the one we got in S1. In fact, I can see it being the finale next year, especially with the alternating east/west pattern they seem to do.

The Detour was fun!

If anything the Premiere (Bike-Read a paper-Obstacle Course-Pit Stop?) was horrible. Halifax was also terribly boring at the Detour and the Roadblock, with the museum phone task being the only good task.

BC also sucked. Wakeboarding was eh and the Detour being both physical tasks were cringeworthy as well as the mini-Jon task.

I just hope this year is better... and please change the U-Turn rule! No more teams using it twice please?  :groan:

And unfortunately, the main site appears to confirm only 10 teams this year :( At the bottom of http://theamazingracecanada.ctv.ca/ is a navigation banner of the teams. 7 are revealed, and only 3 silhouettes remain (pretty obvious which one is Jemmett, heh)

For some reason Canadian viewers want them to stay in Canada which I find bizarre, don't bother with S3 but watch S2, 4 legs are overseas (Hong Kong, Macau, Normandy & Paris) and the cast is amazing it really is a great season.

Majority of Canadians see their homeland as a top vacation destination: poll
By Paola Loriggio   The Canadian Press

TORONTO – A new poll finds that while most Canadians have lived or travelled abroad, the majority see their homeland as a top vacation destination.

A survey conducted by Ipsos Reid for Historica Canada says 68 per cent of participants agreed that “Canada has something for everyone, so why go anywhere else.”

Rest here: http://globalnews.ca/news/2793398/majority-of-canadians-see-their-homeland-as-a-top-vacation-destination-poll/

Reminds me of how CBS is treating TAR US as of late :( They've lost two of their big sponsors, Air Canada and Petro Canada, but it doesn't seem like the leg design has suffered so far.

Next week is the Canada leg I was most excited for, but the one after that I expect could be the weakest link of the domestic legs. Been there many times growing up and it's going to have to be a solid episode to impress me.

I know ;_____;

It sucks because this cast is easily the best TAR cast in years. Not just TAR Canada, but TAR as a whole. Best cast since TAR25 honestly, because there's no duds at all.

Expanding on gamerfan's comment in the Wishlist thread

My wish is for them to finally GTFO of Canada and pull only International legs from now on considering how amazing Vietnam/China/France/Argentina/India/Chile was :)

I do kinda wonder how this version would have stacked up against the others if it had been fully international. They would have had to start from the 1st season, though, then we would never have had these "This is Amazing Race CANADA. It has to stay in our beautiful country!" people.

If you ever listen to production talk about the international legs, it's clear they put a lot of heart and care into designing them. Whereas some US legs in the last few years I feel are just legs for the sake of having 12 legs (one example, 26 Amsterdam. A couple of tasks stereotypical of that city, Pit Stop).

I could say similar about the casting, too.

I agree it would have had to been International right from the start. I think they cornered themselves in S1 by promoting it as a LOVE LETTER to CANADA. If I remember correctly, there were far more people complaining about it not leaving Canada. Now it looks like they're stuck and can't go back on it.
Title: Re: TAR CAN Bitch Moan & SQUEAL Thread * SPOILERS*
Post by: SamualDude on July 25, 2016, 05:51:24 PM
Maybe as the seasons go they have can have more than 4 international legs and increase per season?

For me, seeing all the wonderful places Canada has to offer has been great!  I generally love the Canadian legs. A few more International eps would be fine too of course, but since I don't live in Canada, EVERY leg  there is "International" to me!

I would prefer more international legs since the quality is better than US. (way better now)

I don't know what's going through the heads of TPTB at CTV recently. Like last month they cancelled Canada AM, a popular long-time morning show, with one day's notice, then quickly announced a replacement morning show with younger hosts. Basically trying to appeal to a demographic that nowadays predominantly watches shows online, anyway.

This did not go over well with the public.

Makes for a very interesting and challenging race.   More difficult than US sometimes.

While the teams that have gone out were likeable, I'm quite pleased with this top 6.

Not only is at least one woman guaranteed to finally win, but the western teams doing so well is a nice change from the latter half of the past seasons always being Ontario-dominated (the California/LA of Canada).

4 of the 6 are western teams, and Steph & Kristen are the only Ontarians left standing.

Tell that to some of the casuals :lol: They apparently like it this way, and it shows in the ratings, the domestic episodes typically see slightly higher viewership. Possibly one of last season's weakest legs, Sudbury, was somehow one of their top rated ever.

We'll probably find out in finale week if it even gets renewed, that's when they've always announced it, but who knows. This has kinda felt like a "swan song season" at times with the way CTV has been underpromoting it. Same happened with Australia 3.

I really hope it gets renewed. Casting and leg designs make this show one-of-a-kind.
I do question why they give up promoting this show especially on a great cast/season. On a mediocre cast I could understand.

I still think it's such a waste of money and effort to have the Starting Line in one city only to fly to another Canadian city for the first Leg. They could use that extra bit of money for maybe a bigger task in another location, or better yet (but very unlikely) another international Leg. There's nothing wrong with having the Starting Line and first Leg in the same area.

Is it me or this route really strange.

Starting on the eastern tip of Canada to fly for 8 hours to the other side. Then going up North to Alberta then traveling back down to B.C to a place not too far from Vancouver. I guess it's like legs 10-12 on S3, i just hope International is next.
Title: Re: TAR CAN Bitch Moan & SQUEAL Thread * SPOILERS*
Post by: Maanca on May 01, 2017, 01:09:13 PM
They did this in S3, visit one province then come back in a later leg.

Yeah, I'm hoping too. This is the first domestic Leg 3 since S1.

But I found out recently from the Wikipedia page that TARC is actually still winning awards, which US isn't doing anymore. That probably gives production less inclination to mess with their formula, too.

The route makes sense to me from a production standpoint. Assuming leg 4 is international (makes sense as leg 3 is near Vancouver) it makes sense the layout of the first 3 legs.

Leg 1: Makes sense to have leg 3 at least near Vancouver, and Vancouver is very easy to get to (good for a first leg)
Leg 2: Northern Alberta leg as it would be odd to travel from northern Alberta to another country
Leg 3: Near Vancouver for next leg, less easier location than to get to for leg 1
Title: Re: TAR CAN Bitch Moan & SQUEAL Thread * SPOILERS*
Post by: ovalorange on May 02, 2017, 04:54:36 AM
Right but it would have been more logical to just leave Canada straight after the Vancouver leg was done, right?

Going off precedence season 3 left right after Toronto, season 4 left from Calgary. They used major cities they could get decent connections from. Season 2 at least hung around near Vancouver before they flew off to HK... this route is definitely something strange.

So seems the stop is around Gros Morne on the western side of the island, that's actually a great choice for a return to NL!

The scenery speaks for itself. Fjords. This is where they unearthed the only proven Viking settlement in North America.

Yeah, I'm looking at UK, too.

It's still a possibility the weather could be wreaking havoc on planned domestic legs in Eastern Canada. Heard on the radio today how parts of Quebec and northern Nova Scotia are expecting MORE heavy rain.

It's almost as if the TarGods could be saying "Get out of the country!!" :lol:

Yes!!! Thank goodness they eliminated the cringeworthy Youtubers early on. It's not too much to ask for a couple more international legs right? :funny: :funny: :funny:

It's probably because for premieres, they like to have that showy stunt task that looks good in the promotional press. Harder to get that in a small town.

i.e. I expect to be hearing about that highwire walk in Vancouver for a week straight before premiere day (like the Skytram last year) lol

If they aren't going to go international full-time, then they should at least go to different countries not visited previously. It's the least they can do.

Not another China leg!

I think I'm going to like this leg!!

It's just so weird because I was sure they started the race in St-John's, so they could check again the province (because they have not been here in 4 seasons). I don't understand why they would have the starting line AND a leg in a province they have not been in soo long!

Why not start in another city with flights to Toronto? Like Fredericton would have been a good choice (only capital city not yet visited).

At this point, I'm 80% sure Winnipeg is our finale leg (with a 10% chance of Edmonton, or 10% chance one of the Saskatchewan big cities)

Well, it's hard to judge a cast based on amateur photos. But I have my own preconceived notions of what to expect, yeah.

I.e. #1 looks like they'll be Gino & Jesse 2.0 (cringe). A few of them really look like re-skins of past teams.

I always think that what we see based on spoilers is like looking thru a photographic album, with maybe a bad home silent movie or two thrown in.

But until we really see them in action: speaking, interacting with each other, working (or not) with the other teams, talking to the host...it is almost impossible to get a true sense of what they will be like on the show.

SO let's plan to be surprised in a good way!!

A record number of reused cities, and for a season supposed to celebrate Canada (more than it already did), they covered less of it than ever, no north or maritimes at all. Only a couple domestic legs really appealed to me

Fort McMurray, there was a sighting of a helicoptet landing, which I bet means one of the route markers was flying them over to see the extent of the wildfire damage.

Western Newfoundland, because I've wanted them to get to Labrador, the fjord-laced landscape of Gros Morne is close enough. Plus, vikings are always cool.

Possibly Saskatchewan...IF they went where I suspect they went when they vanished in the south country.

Decent tasks and good cast can help a season, and we'll know better after the mid-June bio releases, but on the outside they look like another S3-style (their blandest) cast. And got a feeling this year production will have them regurgitating their patriotism on camera throughout the race.

If the show stopped winning those CSA's, maybe that would make Brunton/Lysakowski/Bickerton sit back and finally say, "We're losing them, we need to shake it up. Maybe it's time to try the world thing more".

I like to think of it like this:
A season needs the basics of locations.
Tasks can potentially make up for bad locations/uninteresting locations.
If tasks and locations don't do the job, the cast has to make up for that or the show goes flat.

Cast - 50% Tasks 30% Location 20%

The problem I think with 3's cast was they had too many alpha personalities, the kind of people who often don't make entertaining TV, they take everything seriously (TAR20's cast suffered from this problem, too).

It was probably the biggest budget season, too. Largest cast, and gave the best Pit Stop prizes.

It now makes sense, because production spent a lot for S.3, that factor most probably carried on with the succeeding seasons, now that TAR Canada has only 10 teams for S.4 & the upcoming S.5 plus the fact that Air Canada dropped out as sponsor. Production is recovering from S.3, looked at the prizes and wow! not only that you get to travel to a destination, you get free supply of gas for a year or two depending on the leg.

I really don't think the boot order played a giant factor, the route was REALLY bad too. Maybe the worst Canada legs out of the four.

I still remember how cringey and hilarious it was that Edmonton kept promoting their penultimate leg as (a showcase of our rich culture) and the leg ended up just being teams going to a garbage dump, a gas station, and a bar :lol:

Well, now knowing where leg 9 is, I'd post how I'm feeling about the remaining portion of the route at the moment. But profanity-laced rants to production are probably against forum rules, so I'll spare it ;)

Another F4 Face-Off?  :groan:

Whoever loses that is sure to be eliminated, for some reason TARCAN loves putting those near the end of the leg and I just don't get it. It should be the first task of the leg to allow the losing team an opportunity to catch up.

It's a combination with crokinole, a Canadian board game with a wooden board and a circular path for pegs. My late grandmother used to play it. Yeah, would have worked better if they could set up a giant crokinole board :p

If they want to have races mostly in Canada, then they should go to places they haven't been before. Nunavut, Manitoba, PEI have only been visited once so they should get revisited. I don't get why so many international versions (China Rush, Philippines, Vietnam, Brazil, Latinoamerica 4/6) stay mostly in one country rather than exploring the world.

I dont mind seeing TAR Ph visit PH only, because every place looks distinct (the only terrain we dont have is snow).

I struggle identifying TAR Canada locations lol but as long as thwy are entertaining I dont mind them staying in the country (with occasional visits abroad)

Heck, I'm just happy we get TAR alive and kickin <3

In TARCAN's defence, Iqaluit/Charlottetown are essentially the only places in NU/PE respectively, and Churchill by Hudson Bay is as difficult to access as Mt. Logan in the Yukon.

I really hope we go international for half the race. I mean they are really running out of steam for the Canadian legs (see: season 5) and all the tasks are so subpar. I'm fine with all Canada too, all I ask is for interesting tasks.
And I hope they actually have culturally relevant and interesting international legs. I still don't understand why they flew them all the way from Beijing to Shanghai just for Tock's deli? And don't even get me started on how bland the Panama leg was. TARAus 2's Beijing leg was umpteen times better than TARCan 5's Beijing leg.

Cast looks pretty decent. Based on trends, every alternating season has strong FF teams, so I hope that the 3 FFs this season leave an impact.

I too thought the Panama Leg was great. Maybe even the best of the season, tbh. Tons better than the Cuba Legs which are a great example of TAR Canada wasting an international destination with generic tasks.

The show can stay in Canada all they want, as long as they can design fresh, interesting Legs. Even repeat cities, as long as we see new and different stuff. But the show's even been recycling whole tasks in different cities. So it's either Canada is running out of interesting places or the show is running out of ideas.

Agreed but in the Cuba leg the only thing good  for me was the double battle aka the beach vollyball task and the roadblock was pointless there nothing really special and doesn't show to tradtions in Cuba and the other good thing is seeing Amy beat was it rita in the roadblock(I really hate rita and yevette)

To begin with, the filming dates of all past TARCAN races except the first/non-international one have maintained a consistent pattern of at minimum 27 days:

- 2: 26 April - 22 May '14
- 3: 1 May - 28 May '15
- 4: 28 April - 24 May '16
- 5: 26 April - 24 May '17

Therefore, this season cannot finish prematurely in the next couple of days; instead, it will have a week to fly abroad and return.

This may be in the totally wrong thread so I’ll apologize now.

As the teams get eliminated do their camera/sound team go home too or do they get to hang out with the other crew and Jon? Do they stay with the same team or move around?

Thanks :)

Each team gets a film crew and they rotate each leg to avoid favoritism. Crews with eliminated teams may film other teams in future legs or other filming duties( b roll, jon and etc.)

Post by: Realityfan01 on July 18, 2018, 10:54:19 PM
THAT was really annoying how they used their express this early, like I understand the challenge was difficult but it was so early in the game and they could have probably caught up, especially during the time everyone was waiting for the ferry but I guess they can't predict the future... so I kinda understand

Honestly, it's even more irritating that they went all the way to Indonesia (and Mexico later) only for ONE LEG than 100% Canada route like TARCAN1. Idk, was that really worth?

Sadly, I don't think full international route is possible for this version because of it bland patriotism, but I always wonder why they didn't try doing routes like this:

3 legs in Canada -------> 6 legs outside in just ONE REGION (Europe, Asia, Southeast Asia + Oceania, Latin America...) --------> back to Canada for last 2 legs.

It would please both patriots and international legs fans.

I can't agree with this sentiment given the illogical routes produced in the 3 of the past 4 seasons. Such a waste of budget unnecessarily cross-crossing the country that really could be used elsewhere.

No good reason why they couldn't have had a second leg in Jakarta. They were already there for crying out loud.

Sadly, I agree with this. With Dawson City, Salt Spring and Fredericton being visited this season, my list of future locations has now been reduced to but a few places - mostly in Quebec and Ontario. If there is to be a season 7, they're going to have to rethink a few things. And I have also wondered why they couldn't do a domestic/international/domestic route.  :duno: :groan:

In past seasons, we'd see the same "we'll interview the eliminated team" (before the show airs) in promos from CTV shows The Social, Your Morning, etc. You wouldn't hear it when it was a NEL or KOR.

I feel like TARCAN doing so much better job of casting FF teams than TARUS. I mean 3 FF teams made finale in just 4 seasons, lol.

I'm glad all FF teams are still in the race too, it's refreshing.

That article about the difficulties of this leg...yeah right. So with ALL that why NOT do a second leg? Makes no sense.

Based on timing, it seems as though there should have been one.

So choices would be

-- no planned second leg
--planned second leg that had to be scrapped pre filming
--second leg scrapped during or immediately after filming and all placement changes trashed

Based on timing there was room to spare right?

Has option #3 ever happen before? Filming a whole leg but then deleting it, and make it look like it never existed? (If that's what you meant, maybe I misunderstood)

Maybe they wanted to do another leg somewhere but it had to be cancelled just before filming, so they decided to give them 2 extra day in Jakarta and made them go directly to leg 6 (Stratford)  Which would explain why have another leg (Toronto) in the same day... Maybe Toronto was not planned but because that's Production HQ, they were able to create a leg quickly between the two legs planned (Stratford and Winnipeg).

Tasks are not interesting or culturally relevant anymore. Eating a pie? Packing a boxes? Crafting a latte? Playing with balloons? Performing random dance each leg?  TAR Family Edition was found dead.

Canada is getting smaler and production needs to admit it. Go more international next season, please!!! 6 legs at least. Because this franchise will became unwatchable soon.

It's still better than last season, but only because of the cast.

Screw the TV ads for TAR Canada. Before they even say the words "Amazing Race Canada", they just right out of the gate play an audio clip of their next destination. No consideration for people who avoid spoilers. There's literally no chance to mute the TV or change the channel. I hate it so much. I haven't been surprised by a TAR Canada destination in years.

What I’m finding really weird about TarCanada is that they keep going back and fourth. Like why go from downtown to Landsdowne to like 7 mins away from my house just go to downtown again. I also heard that they stayed at the airport hotel in Toronto, just to start the leg all the way downtown, then back to the airport to fly to  Winnipeg  :groan: And I also find it weird when they went from BC to Yukon back to BC and they do this every season, like last season they went from BC to Alberta just to go back to Bc again like I don’t understand that lmfao

I'm all for having a really interesting and interactive cast, but nearly half the teams that have appeared in TARC history are all Ontarians.
62 teams have competed over 6 seasons, which implies there have been 124 participants. How many are from Ontario? 52.

(https://i.imgur.com/iC2KX0A.png)

British Columbia is behind by 30 contestants with 22 of them, and Alberta shortly behind at 20 contestants.
Then we have the ~secondary provinces~ like Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador and Nova Scotia that have thankfully gotten representation. Fun Fact: Every contestant from Manitoba is from Winnipeg.

Here's to hoping they cast fun people from other provinces too xx

Post by: Maanca on August 12, 2018, 12:24:45 PM
Same as TAR US and Los Angeles, it's had its ample supply of Californian racers. As I heard a podcast once say, "Want to get cast for Amazing Race? Just hang around Santa Monica."

Toronto is home base, so they're more budget-friendly to cast due to no flying in, I guess :P

I'm honestly surprised and a little disappointed that still after 6 seasons, they can't get anybody from Saskatchewan or New Brunswick with their decent-sized populations. Big Brother Canada has had no problem representing these provinces.

You guys do know that Ontario, Quebec, B.C, and Alberta make up 86.3% of Canada's entire population right. It's easier to find people from said provinces to cast because of their population.
