This thread is the WORKZONE of our spoilers.
This is where ALL the spoiler discussion of the TARC6 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread. It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean.
As always, per RFF's practices, we do not spoil the start location (if known) or any teams until it is believed that the teams are safely underway. We would never want to put a team in jeopardy or cause them distress or interfere with the actual running of the race. Info on future legs may also occasionally be protected for those reasons. But if you have info to share beforehand , we would love to know, so please PM or email me! Spoilers are treasured!
This thread will be opened once the race is beginning. NO POSTING UNTIL WE HAVE LIVE SIGHTINGS PLEASE.

I don’t know if this is the right place but Lots of flights to Vancouver from Victoria this afternoon. But there is two flights to Calgary a hour apart form each other. If they are keeping the current trend of start line and leg one in different provinces Calgary/possibly Banff could be leg 1. Or they could fly to Vancouver and fly from there.
-
Also believe Leg 1 will be Banff.
Then Leg 2 in Edmonton before flying to Sri Lanka (outside chance of Bangladesh, Nepal, or an India revisit).
As for the Finish Line, perhaps Nanaimo now that Vic's out of the running.
-
They did Jasper (similar to Banff) on TARC 4 where Stef/Kristen hung from the gondola - don't think it'll be Alberta bound so soon.
-
Er, both of the first two legs from the first two seasons were all in BC.
-
What about Leg 1 in Vancouver, or even Victoria?
Or even Leg 1 in Yukon?
I'm also thinking maybe RUSSIA to be an outside visit???
-
Leg 1 has never been in the same province/territory as the Starting Line: ON->BC, AB->BC, QC->ON, NT->AB, NL->BC
-
THIS IS NOT A WISHLIST THREAD!
Let's keep this please to intelligent speculation on spoilers or logical next potential destinations?
Thanks!
Next destination will be posted when teams are safely arrived. :tup:
-
Spec: Im thinking they might do a leg 1 non-elim this season. Given the "inspirational" nature of the cast, they might want everyone for at least 2 legs
-
Swartz Bay is where the main ferry to the BC mainland is. Flying out via Vancouver, I'd guess.
-
If they go north to Nanaimo then Horseshoe Bay ferry over to Vancouver, and possibly up to Squamish or Whistler,

Amazing Race Canada kicks off at Hatley Castle
Popular reality TV show will premiere later this year
Kendra Wong/
Apr. 23, 2018 4:00 p.m./
The Amazing Race Canada kicked off the latest season right here in Greater Victoria.
The sixth season of the popular TV show kicked off at Hatley Castle at Royal Roads University in Colwood Monday afternoon.
As part of the heroes edition, 10 couples compete in a grueling race across Canada and the world. The race is divided into a series of legs and on each leg, teams strive to reach the Pit Stop where they are greeted by host and Olympian Jon Montgomery.
“The people that are here are the embodiment of what the race is about. Doing it with a partner, collaborating to achieve a bigger goal and in their daily lives these people do it on the daily,” said Montgomery in a Facebook live post on the Amazing Race Canada page. “What we have here is an amazing group of people.”

So...where is the clue we were supposed to get on the FB live??
-
Spec: Im thinking they might do a leg 1 non-elim this season. Given the "inspirational" nature of the cast, they might want everyone for at least 2 legs
The only other real option is at F8 on Leg 3 in order to avoid copying the latest seasons' trends.
-
No more news?
They wouldn't be having an overnight at a ferry/train/bus/airport yet would they? ???
-
Perhaps production is aiming to recreate the start of Season 3's routing: a domestic premiere followed by two legs abroad.
-
They can’t overnight on a BC ferry - the last ferry arrives in Tsawwassen around 10:40. Possibly overnight on way to next location?
-
Speculation - if they are headed to Squamish possible overnight at Porteau Cove (the sunken boats) - there is a campsite there that was full of trailers and rvs. There are 2 newer “Olympic cabins” for rent also right near the pier, and the parking lot is right behind them.

E-talk Canada did a small piece
https://www.etalk.ca/TV/video/The-Amazing-Race-Canada-starting-line-revealed-vid1377666
We can see a bit in the background team 9 and 10. It seems one of the guys in team 10 has a pink turban on his head!
It could be interesting to analyse the shoes they are wearing, we have a few close up in this video.

Not visible in my area.
So if some of you Canadians could help with getting some screen shots of this please do it? Much appreciated!
-
I recorded it. Will do caps in a bit. There were close-ups of shoes as they ran onto the starting line.
-
All through it, they show shots of the racers below the neck. No faces.
There's going to be 4 more of these. So I guess they're pretty much going to reveal some locations for us, Peach :D

Hope there will be at least one international location revealed - one that we get little info.

What was the whole deal about watch for secret clues from Monty? I sure didn't see any.
Have to say after the hype I was kinda disappointed. Having been to all the TAR open starts this was just....not much. Glad they had a pretty day lol.
I think TAR US has learned that revealing the cast does nothing to hurt the show and actually ramps up the anticipation.
Thanks so much Sue for snagging caps!

Same.
I'm excited to see the racer in a turban. Is this a race first?
-
I never expected a TAR-level live start yesterday. I fully agree cast ID does nothing to spoil the show, nor do any spoilers. However, I just think TPTB were trying to appease both the spoiler & non-spoiler types. There is a large number of views on that video. Maybe next season they could consider a true live start in a large metropolitan area.

Yes, it sure was disappointing >:( I was wondering if the hints were in the quick zoom ins on various parts of the gardens at the castle: a lion, a close up of a tree, a statue - I was leaning towards Italy? as it appeared to be in the Italian gardens area?
-
Love that thought caper, thanks!
If those were clues they shot right over my head for sure. :funny:
-
No, it was specified in the eTalk video today that there would be 4 future "hints" of legs along the way. I'm not even sure if they will be "live" - as in real time. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
-
So this would make the first time, then, that the first leg remained in the same province as the starting line :P
They only went like a couple hours worth of driving north. So no airport yet, which is usually the source for the brunt of first sightings in TARs.
-
I can't find anything on twitter or instagram :dick
In contrast to last year's first leg, where we had so many things... arggggg haha
I guess we should see them today at an airport?
-
I didn't see anything at YVR early this morning when I dropped the boys off for a hockey trip but I'll head back to check things out.

Yup this is a TAR first
-
Welcome, HeyBicBoi :)
-
Um, Sikh racers have been around since the second season:
- Sukhi and Jinder
- Susan and Sharnjit
- Zedd and Shabbir
-
I believe they mean the turban.
-
Right, but the fact remains that Punjabi-Canadian contestants have existed even before one wore religious attire for the competition.
-
Looking like today may have possibly been a rest day like the last couple of seasons.
-
Right, but the fact remains that Punjabi-Canadian contestants have existed even before one wore religious attire for the competition.
I think we already knew that. The fact remains he will be the first to wear his turban while running the race.
-
- Vipul and Arti: Gujarati Hindu
- Natalie and Nadiya: Sinhalese Buddhist and/or Tamil Hindu
- Hoskote and Naina: Telugu Hindu
-
I didn't see anything at YVR early this morning when I dropped the boys off for a hockey trip but I'll head back to check things out.
It's been ages since I flew through there, so how's the ease of access to international terminals for non-fliers currently?
-
At YVR if you don’t have a ticket you can’t get past security :( but all the ticket counters are accessible :) There is also a Starbucks with a jade Bill Reid canoe sculpture that’s a pretty cool place to hang out (international). Domestic has a food court before security lol Guess what I do when I’m dropping off or picking up my travelers :)
-
Yum, thanks for the briefing!
So even if they go unseen en route to Asia/Oceania, maybe they'll pop up on the return trip a la the Season 3 teams arriving from Delhi.
-
From Lives:
It looks like Team 8/3 are there. Team 6 may be there and there is that female to identify.
Team 3 Female:

Via Caper!
IG: terrafennWe had so much fun going up the gondola yesterday... and we were able to see filming for #theamazingrace #canada !! #bluebirdday #mountains #squamish #mybaby #babygirl #blueeyes #sunshine #nofilter #seatoskygondola #seatosky #bc #epicplaydates #ocean #mountainliving #trees #hangingonawire #ospreypacks #thechief #babyhiker
And: Seen in YR last night ~14 hours ago
Yes team 8 and 3, maybe the female in the second picture is the second teammate from team 3?
They took an airplane and no one saw them.... wonder if they are still in Canada or somewhere international

That is the second teammate from Team 3. First pic we see someone with a blue short shirt and, the second pic, the female has that same shirt.
They were in the domestic terminal based off of the comments.
-
Looked at Starbucks locations at YVR.
Can confirm that it was in the Domestic Terminal, after security.
Specifically the location by gate A12
(https://i.imgur.com/EUCG8zh.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/8FxdiL7.jpg)
-
It was posted approx 8:30 PM PT and they hadn't boarded. Maybe Winnipeg or Calgary?
-
That Starbucks services the south end of Domestic - gates A 1-12 and B 11-28
-
It was posted approx 8:30 PM PT and they hadn't boarded. Maybe Winnipeg or Calgary?
What about Edmonton?
-

There was one at 9 to Edmonton on AC, maybe too soon for them to be lingering like that? 10PM flight via Westjet.
-
Flights today out of YVR from Gates A & B (as Starbucks pictured is closest to those gates - Gate C has it's own Starbucks). Looking at today's schedule as probably very similar to last night.
21:30 Westjet WS3206 to Fort St. John A10
21:45 Westjet WS3287 to Prince George A12
21:50 Westjet WS3310 to Kelowna A7
21:55 Westjet WS3185 to Victoria A9
22:00 Westjet WS142 to Calgary B14
22:00 Westjet WS412 to Edmonton B16
22:35 Westjet WS724 to Toronto gate not listed
23:!5 Westjet WS730 to Toronto B13
The Air Canada flights seem to be out of Gate C
-
So Dawson City, Yukon is the site of leg 2, it seems. Site of the Klondike gold rush.
Wonder if they'll have to try the staple "sour toe cocktail" (exactly what it sounds like, a real mummified toe at the bottom of a bar drink). They drank one once on Canadian Pickers and I could barely watch it.
-
Woop I've always wanted a Dawson leg! :clap2:
They could potentially do one of the gold-digging sites, do something on the preserved steamboat, or go to the dancing hall for a roadblock! There are so many options in Dawson :conf:
-
:clap2:
YAAAS.
Also, I don't mean to brag (I am) but I am two for two on my wishlist. We should have set up a game, dammit!
-
Also, this marks the farthest north they've gone since Iqaluit back in Season 1.
-
Other locations possible are the Jack London Museum & the Robert Service Cabin.

The Detour cluebox was located across the street from the hotel that serves it. Seems too good to pass up.

-
Yeah, Downtown Hotel. That's the place.
-
So teams 3, 8 and 9 have shown up. The other MF team is 5 or 6. Leaning more towards 5.
-
I'm not sure which team it is from the first picture we got in Dawson City...
It's not team 6 because they are not asian. So it's either team 5, team 7 or team 8.
The other picture seems to be team 8, so that leaves us with team 5 or 7. I would say 7 because 5 seems to have really long blond hair, shorter than the female in the picture.

Its not 7. We have a spoiler we cant post yet that has team 7.
-
Here's some clear shots of Team 6 (Asian couple team)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BiDqTyZlgAs/
The ship behind is the S.S. Keno. It's a National Historic Site.
Pit Stop could have been on it.
-
So we know who survived leg 1:
- Team 2 (In a picture we are still waiting for permission to post)
- Team 3 (Airport Picture)
- Team 5 (picture of them opening a clue at Raven's nook)
- Team 6 (picture after the pitstop)
- Team 7 (In a picture we are still waiting for permission to post)
- Team 8 (Airport Picture and picture of them in blue suits running in Dawson)
- Team 9 (Picture with detour clue)
If leg 1 was an Elimination Leg, it means team 1, 4 or 10 was eliminated. (But I also believe because this is Hero theme and that they did the SL in the same area as leg 1 that we had a non-elimination first leg, but thats just speculation)
-
I think the post-leg interviews are behind the Danoja Zho Cultural Centre at 1131 Front St.
-
We are missing someone in this picture, we have:
- Team 3
- The afro-canadian men from team 8
- Who is the female in the front?
-
Could be a production assistant? If I am looking at what you are.
-
Could be...
I'm talking about the person with a (what seems to be) yellow headband?
She seems to be matching the guy from team 8, but we know they are not partners.
-
It's so hard to tell from that pic what the dark colours are. But they are wearing matching outfits + backpacks. I don't think I see those backpacks in the startline cap??? Yet it appears there are two camera guys filming. Are we sure 1.his partner is male, in the start pics OR 2. That's a female in this pic?
-
Is this them? Looks like it's a guy to me. :duno:
-
A guy sporting a man bun? 😂
-
A guy sporting a man bun? 😂
Yes! Very Mickey & Pete. LOL
-
And if you take a look at the blurry close up (I think Fossil did?) you can make it out.
-
I tried to focus this a bit. Are you talking about upper left neck?? Or tall ? male center ,or horizontal ?fanny pack lower left?

-

Helps to quote the post?
-
the person second from the left is the afro-canadian's team-mate - same yellow headband, (man) bun, dark sweater? with yellow shirt showing underneath - you can see this in the picture of them running in Dawson City
-
Jon just did another LIVE facebook "guess where I am" - looks like he is in Duncan, BC on Vancouver Island.
-
From Wikipedia, Duncan BC is "the smallest city by area (2.07 square kilometres, 0.8 square miles) in the nation". Maybe they already went there as part of Leg 1?
-
I'm so confused lol....
Is this really live? If so, why would they start in Victoria, go to Squamish, fly to Dawson City, and then go back to Duncan, 1h06 minutes from the Starting Line... this makes no sense haha...
The only thing that would make sense is if this was part of leg 1
-
No it is now. We are back to crazy zigzagging!!
-
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It would make no sense to come all the way back south.
Imagine if they announce the place they're at while they're still there? The locals who guess it would come out and swarm them. Which would be a godsend for the detectives here :lol: but...probably not what the producers would like happening.

I checked the weather reports of both nearby Chemainus as well as YYJ for this week and the maximum temperature on Monday/Tuesday was well under 20 degrees.
In other words, they did fly BC -> YT -> BC.
-
:groan:
I really think they are over doing BC.... I mean it's a very beautiful province, but every year having 2 legs is a lot.
I mean there is soo much more to see.
Anyway, going back to our business, I feel like they may also make a stop in Nanaimo, because Duncan is small and they may not do the full leg there.
-
There wasn't enough time from the startline until they got to Swartz Bay for them to go all the way to Duncan, then circle back. This has to be Leg 3.
Also, it's not live, right now... it's to come.
-
i wonder if Stunami is right about pre-taping this while on Vancouver Island? Although, if they ran around downtown Victoria and then up to Duncan, only 1 hr drive, could they make it the 1 hr 15 min drive to catch the Ferry at Swartz Bay? Maybe the 2 cars/teams that were pictured at Swartz Bay got double fast forward passes?
When colleagues do LIVE facebook video posts the picture is often reversed. It didn't look like Jon was reversed so maybe pre-taped?
Also, I just checked the LIVE start - was it possibly pre-taped earlier in the day giving them more time on Vancouver Island?

Teams should be en route soon tbh! They should have gone international tbh.
-
They could very well go out via Vancouver leg 4 like last year, which basically means Asia or Oceania.

The starting line was around 2h and some teams were spotted on the ferry around 5... that leaves 3h but it's not much.
Jon has different clothes and the temperature of Duncan on Monday was around 19... So I really think this is live / leg 3... but it just doesn't really make sense

I was just going to say the temp on Monday was only 19. LOL. After last year's zig zag route, nothing is predictable. Teams are en route now but filming won't be today. If people get the bright idea to swarm the track cos they think it's happening right now, they will be disappointed.

:groan:

I don't disagree at all, but the show managed to limit themselves to just Haida Gwaii two years ago.
Anyhow, it feels like Winnipeg - with an outside chance of Edmonton - will be the return destination from what I surmise to be South Asia.
-
If Leg 2 was yesterday, they might have start leg 3 this morning.
How long does it takes to go from Dawson City to Vancouver? They could be in Duncan in a few hours?
-
Dawson City is a 5 hr plus flight - although there may not be a direct flight so probably longer. Then over to Duncan from YVR via ferry 4 hrs plus driving.
-
If they were to travel internationally via Vancouver on leg 3, could Jon, with enough time ahead of the teams, go to Duncan after landing in Vancouver/Victoria, film the clip making it live, and then return to Vancouver Airport?
-
Very possible, especially if he took a helicopter 🚁
-
But why would they do that? Why not have Leg 3 Duncan and they go for leg 4 international?
If Leg 3 was an elimination leg, that would be 1 less team to go = a bit of saving there.
-
Wait so they want from Squamish to the Yukon and now back to Vancouver Island?
-
But why would they do that? Why not have Leg 3 Duncan and they go for leg 4 international?
If Leg 3 was an elimination leg, that would be 1 less team to go = a bit of saving there.
Exactly. It's all about the budget.
-
To the casual fans aka the non-spoilery enthusiasts, this will seem like they are filming Leg 2 now. Dawson City will be a surprise.
-
Vancouver has connecting flights to Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland in Oceania
Tokyo, Manila, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taipei in Asia
Could these be possible Leg 4 international destinations???
-
They could also go east to Europe - London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris are popular routes
-
But why would they do that? Why not have Leg 3 Duncan and they go for leg 4 international?
If Leg 3 was an elimination leg, that would be 1 less team to go = a bit of saving there.
Exactly. It's all about the budget.
If they keep doing 10 teams a year, first 3 legs in Canada before international, this show is going to get STALE and PREDICTABLE. Leg 3 could be half Duncan and half international??? Duncan's a pretty small city tbh.
-
Maybe they'll move a little north and do part of the leg in Nanaimo (where the bar of the same originated, yes)
-
Duncan has dozens upon dozens of totems. There's a walking tour, with many clustered in the core. Sounds like a task to me.
-
So Duncan,BC confirmed to be leg3!
Race car task, and totem task... Wonder if they will stay the whole time there or go to Nanaimo.

First and foremost, Season 4 began with ten teams before flying abroad for its third leg.
Second of all, TARCAN has never done a split domestic-international episode.

Yahoo they are there!!
In the first picture out of the boat, we have team#7 and I think the other is team #5
And then team # 2 and 10 on the pie eating challenge
-
They're going to Saltspring Island? That'd be...interesting.
Saltspring is basically the BC capital of hippie (and weed) culture. A ton of the old Canadian rockstars live there, including Randy Bachman from BTO.

So teams were at the Ganges Harbour Water Aerodrome.

I was thinking team 9 instead of team 5. We'll see
I didnt recognize the face of the guy as team 9, and the guy from team 5 also had a red coat on the starting line, that's why I was thinking team 5
I think you're right! Plus, female wears crazy print pants LOL
-
Based off of what we have:
It looks like Teams 7 and 8 were at the pie eating first. Then, team 2 came in and finished before Team 10.
-
I was just re watching the live with Jon video, and he mentioned that the race car task was the Roadblock. So I guess this is the second part of the leg, in Duncan.
-
No this the first part.
-
No this the first part.
Sorry, what I meant was:
Fly to Vancouver, then ferry to Salt Spring Island
Salt spring Island is the first part of the leg, then Duncan (roadblock and pitstop with maybe another task)
-
No this the first part.

That's my guess! :tup:
-
Eight teams going abroad soon.
-
First boot looks to be either Annette/Melissa or the non-Argos F/F.
No, we still have no sighting of team #1 post the ferry ride.
We have 8 teams save past leg 1 (don't forget leg 1 could be a non-elimination leg)
We have save for leg 2: Team 2/5/7/8/10
-
One of the Salt Spring Island images looked like one of the balding M/M covering his head with a cap.
-
Not SEEN does not mean not THERE.

This seems to be team 10 running?
Nice video running past Mouat's in Ganges, Salt Spring. https://www.facebook.com/saltspringexchange/videos/10156474579501133/ (https://www.facebook.com/saltspringexchange/videos/10156474579501133/)

Which fails to contradict how at least one team has been eliminated, either in Squamish or Dawson City.

Actually Both team 1 and 4 could still be in the race.
If leg 1 was non-elimination, then a team seen in Dawson, but not seen here in Duncan could have been eliminated.
Ex: Team 3, 6 and 9 have not yet been seen in Duncan
Last american season, we didn't see the skiers between leg 2 and 4, and lots of people were quick to say they were eliminated in leg 3!

Hmm, there's a 1/3 chance that the premiere and Leg 2 were both eliminations.

Good rule of thumb is to wait for visual confirmation on subsequent legs. Then work backwards.

Right, I jumped the gun - thanks, Sue, and sorry to stunami and Beth.

Possible route from YVR to Duncan. YVR then shuttle to South terminal to get float plane. Land at Saltspring. Looks like there are cars there so they’ve been pre-set. Then drive to Vesuvius on the north end of Salt Spring Island and take small ferry to Crofton, just north of Duncan, a 20 min drive.

No worries! I've jumped the gun and been burned too many times. LOL In season 2, we even missed a team right from the start. Good times.

Can we PLEASE take contestant spec to that thread and leave this one for spoiler discussion? Thanks!

So they're doing a car racing Roadblock in the rain? Like Season 2 in Montreal all over again.

Is anyone else thinking that Leg 4, teams will fly to Vancouver and then fly to Australia/Asia?
Could very much be a possibility...
-

Yep. But they wouldn't fly to Vancouver, just take a ferry. It's right there.
-
They could also fly Nanaimo to YVR. Are there any Int'l flights out of Victoria?
-

Yes! Seattle and San Francisco are the ones for Sunday. America could be another destination...
-
Also, the funny thing is I've noticed there are a lot of fans thinking they've stayed on Vancouver Island since the start. They don't know of Squamish & Dawson City. They are going to be so confused. :funny:
-
To go international, except seattle and san fran thru Victoria airport, must go thru yvr. Can take short puddle jumper from Nanaimo (closer - only 30 mins from Duncan) or victoria airports, or sea plane from nanaimo harbour or helijet (both land at south terminal at yvr then need 10 min or less shuttle to main airport).
They can also go ferry route again. Nanaimo to horseshoe bay then south thru vancouver to yvr or Duke Pont (just south of nanaimo) to tsawwassen again then 20-30 drive north to yvr. Funny enough both routes will take 2 1/2 hrs.
-
We think they still have their cars. MAYBE...
-
Can't wait to see everything you have tomorrow!!
Do we know how many teams were left at this point?
I think at this point, it's a good guess to think they are going international for a leg or two, being so close to Vancouver
-
Any idea where the pit stop is (or rather where they are staying)? That might help us narrow down how they’ll get back to the mainland.
-
Just saw the thread and yay the cheerleaders :cheer: are not out yet yay also the ken and Barbie team :cheer:
-

PitStop is in LIVE spoilers. I'll tweet you the hotel okay?
-
Hope this helps anyone who is confused by yesterday's Leg 3 sightings.
-
What about the picture of Jon with the totems in Duncan? (next to the Museum)
Do we think they did something there? Or it was just roll-up footage
-
IMO, it would be strange to just do an intro. Maybe there's a RM or even a small task.
-
TARC crew just went thru YVR Air Canada international!! No one telling me destination 🙁
-
Figured as much. Fingers crossed for Australia or NZ! Southeast Asia's getting to be a pretty predictable pattern.
-
There r direct flights to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Mexico City, Honolulu....just too many to mention.
-
Did you see any of the teams, Linda?
-
No teams yet 🙁
-
What if they knock out all the international Legs this season in the middle of the Race (like 4, presumably). They travel west towards Asia/Oceania then Europe, maybe Africa (not on this budget most likely) and then the last 4 Legs in Canada entering from the east?
-
No teams yet 🙁
Yay Linda!! Keep us posted!
Do we know how many teams were left in Leg 3?
-
Depending on how many flights there are to this international destination, we could easily not have teams even get to the airport until tomorrow.

Usually a day ahead to set up and get ready

Ahead, usually. Jon has to shoot his task introductions before teams get to them.

It could happen, but I don't really think they will do it.
It seems they are really copying season 5 (except for the starting line), with leg 1 and 3 in BC, and then international for two legs.
I'm really curious to see how the Elimination/non-elimination legs are going to pan out. I really hope they don't have the same thing as last year, aka 3 eliminations in a row.
-
Hoping to have for the Philippines and will have two legs there. It is a great location that has 7,107 islands. Vancouver has a direct flight to/from Manila.
-
Fingers crossed for Australia or NZ!
Sri Lanka or elsewhere in South Asia would be preferrable and more realistic.

Yes Sri Lanka then next leg Maldives

I really do wonder if they are flying to Australia.
I mean, it's a long flight and we haven't had sightings for ages...

Some interest tweets by a reporter that was on a flight from Whitehorse to YVR on April 27. This would be when they were travelling from Dawson City to YVR before leg 3.
The most interesting one is about one of the contestants having a serious allergic reaction on the plane.
This is the flight from Whitehorse:
C-GTEM B350 Whitehorse YXY to Vancouver Int'l (CYVR) Dep: Fri 07:40PM PDT Arr: Fri 10:44PM PDT Fri 10:39PM PDT

I hope that contestant is ok and was able to continue on with the race. Severe alleries are serious.
-
Hope she was okay :(
Wonder if it was the beef jerky. That could set certain people off.
-
Maybe it was the reason for the late start on Saturday?
-
Going back to the remaining legs in the race,
I see for the rest of the season:
Leg 4: International (Asia or Australia)
Leg 5: International
Then I think 1 leg in Ontario, 1 leg in Québec, and maybe 2 legs in the Maritimes (Maybe Fredericton and PEI)
With a finale in a big city: Edmonton or Winnipeg
-
^^^ Agreed. But there should be 11 legs. So 1 more international leg? Somewhere connecting to eastern Canada.
-
Europe or south/central America
I could see Europe more, but if they continue the trend of going south, then maybe Mexico could be a good fit?

All the #AmazingRace teams were checking in at @Fly_YYJ this morning #Victoria #BritishColumbia
9:01 AM - 30 Apr 2018
^^^That's my time, Eastern, so at approx 6 AM PDT
Morning flights from Victoria to:
Lots of Vancouver
One Calgary, Toronto and Kelowna
-
This should be International though.
-
So it was probably Vancouver!
-
Victoria also has good connections via Calgary and Seattle.
-
International Flights leaving Vancouver between 10h00 and 14h00 (Vancouver time) à
This list excludes all of the US destinations
Taipei, 11h00
Seoul, 11h00
Shangai, 11h10
Beijing, 12h05
Hong Kong, 12h10
Guangzhou, 13h10
Tokyo, 13h25
Mexico city, 14h00
Most are Air canada (except Hong Kong and Guangzhou)
Teams were spotted at the airport via tweet at 10h23.
-
On Sunday, April 29 the crew checked in at 10am with all their equipment, it took them an hour to load over 100 pieces onto excess baggage. Given that the airport likes international check-in to be 3 hours ahead you'd be looking at a 1:00pm departure at the earliest (1300 hrs)
-
Hoping for Tokyo :) Two good legs in Japan.
I wonder is Sinorama is still a sponsor... They do business in Japan
-

Sinorama also goes to Europe. Even if Sinorama is not a sponsor, IMO they must have another tour operator as sponsor.

That was for crew 4/29 right? Trying to also figure out team sighting today in Victoria. Hopefully with those TWO pieces we can figure destination?

Yes, the crew sighting at YVR was Sunday, April 29th.
-
Passed the International Dateline (Australia/Asia), it's currently Tuesday 1st May!
Guangzhou and Tokyo seem to be the most logical destinations...
-
Japan more likely.
They're probably not going to do China in a consecutive year :P

They might but I am praying for a Maldives leg
-
Might not pan out, but I had a thought as far as the international destinations. With this being the "heroes" season, they might want to take the racers somewhere that feels rewarding, like a paradise location.
Which the Maldives or South Pacific would fit nicely.
-
Why rule out the chance of a connecting flight to Colombo?
Why Colombo as a choice? Spoiler evidence for that?
-
Three seasons since South Asia. Unsure why there needs to be proof as such when the continent is the only one outside North America that always gets a visit.
-
No sight of them, nothing...
Ive been searching on Instagram and twitter, no luck! :dick
They must have arrived at their destination by now, so lets keep looking!
-
I'd think they would have landed by now, yes. It's been like 24 hours since the airport sighting. I haven't found anything.
-
This may be nothing, or just a mistake, but this Instagram account, who is currently in Japan (Tokyo) who @amazingracecana for no apparent reason. Maybe they saw someone there?
https://www.instagram.com/p/BiPO2f-gGRK/?taken-by=crissy_and_salem
I thought it was more of a joke as they are travelling to Japan, and are two (hence like a joke, we are a team) but they posted pictures in Japan 2 days ago, with no #amazingracecanada. Only the 2 pictures of today have that hashtag....
-
Cox. I know that guy on the right. Well, not directly but he's a Facebook friend of a friend (who's gay) and I've seen him on the timeline a few times. According to his FB, yes he's currently in Tokyo for a pride festival, but the same picture was posted a couple days ago on there.
Nothing to do with TARC.

Yes, I figured he was not part of the race, or related. But I was just wondering why he put a #amazingracecanada and a @amazingracecanada, it's probably nothing, but maybe they saw something or someone and decided to use that hashtag. Like maybe they know some people/producers working on the show and saw them in Tokyo.
You are right it's probably nothing, but I figured with Tokyo being a suspected destination, it could be something
-
Anyone who wants to be ON the show uses that hashtag. But thanks for searching, keep it up!

Semangat ya masbul dan mbabul dalam menghadapi kerasnya Jakarta.
Translate feature is not helping....HAAALP!
"The spirit of tasks and defeat in the face of hardship in Jakarta."
-
Based on the legitimacy of Sue's lead, TARCAN might host a leg in Indonesia's capital when neither the original nor TARAUS could!
-
If they did go to Jakarta, they would probably fly on Air Canada to Tokyo and then fly to Jakarta
-
Just like how they got to Kolkata three years ago, I believe.
-
Mbabul translated to "defeat" in Malay - false cognate, perhaps?
-
They could have gone thru Hong Kong - that pops up when I do a flight search.
-
Definitely.
As the third SEA destination in a row, I wonder if it'll be a double-round a la two years ago or a single like last season, i.e. in the latter case flying to another Asian nation before returning presumably to the Prairies?
-
I wish they would do 3 more international legs in a row in a westerly direction, then return to Canada landing in the Maritimes. At least they could say they circumnavigated the globe. :duno:
-
So Jakarta's confirmed?
Good easily get down to Australia/New Zealand from here!

Thats a good question, are we leg 4 or 5?
Teams left Canada early pm on Monday, April 30.
Pitstop with Jon was Early morning of May 2 (BTW, was the leg already over, or was he just waiting for teams to arrive)
My guess would be team arrived in Indonesia in late May 1 (local time), had a Hour of Operation, and were racing in the morning of May 2. I guess the leg would now be over.
-
TARCAN has had a history of visiting large global metropolises (with a couple exceptions)
-2: Paris, Hong Kong, Macau
-3: Buenos Aires, Santiago, Delhi, Calcutta
-4: Ho Chi Minh City, Havana
-5: Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Panama City
-6: Jakarta
I speculate that if we stay in Indonesia (which is what I think looks likely) we will get another big city.
-
I'm surprised at Jakarta being used. Canada has travel advisories for Indonesia because of Zika.
https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/indonesia
Sinorama doesn't seem to promote trips to Indonesia - so perhaps they are not sponsoring this year?

Jon could have recorded it the day before and it was only posted when leg was over.

Jakarta should be alright :)
In all the times TAR US has visited Indonesia, the capital has surprisingly never been touched.
-
do you think it's odd that there's no sightings at all from the one of capital cities of social media users?

:funny: Excellent eye!!!
I imagine he reset it. So it could have been just before racers were due into pitstop??? Filming the day before would alert locals, especially with the mat there?

On the other hand, Normandy and Cai Be leads me to believe that Leg 5 will be Bali to maintain the presence of rural overseas legs on even-numbered seasons.

On the contrary, Jakarta turned up prominently during the filming of the TARA5 premiere whereas Bangkok had/has a history of minimal to non-existent footage.

Possible Leg 5 destinations could be Bali, Semarang, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Bandung (in Indonesia)
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Darwin could be some others!

I saw some producers tweeting earlier today, which make me think they are done with the second leg in Indonesia... Unless they had to travel a lot.

I don't know. The day hasn't really started yet in Jakarta, it's 5:30 in the morning right now. Could still be today.
I'm guessing they may have traveled elsewhere.
-
They'll be surfacing in, say, Manitoba by weekend's close at the latest.

There's a decent chance of New Brunswick popping up like the other even-numbered seasons: Fredericton and/or Moncton this time around, for sure.

Fredericton's the only capital that's never been seen, but right now...I would hope not, at least not until the end of the race. The Saint John River, which pretty much runs through the whole middle of the province including there, the spring thaw is a huge mess.

Fredericton is in rough shape right now due to the floods!

That didn't stop them last year in Ottawa, I remember there was also flood and we didn't think they were going to go!

I went to Bajra Sandhi monument yesterday (the pit stop of TAR 28 leg 10 and the finish line of TARA 5). If they visit Bali, i thought they might use this monument as a pit stop since the theme of this season is hero. But found nothing. Surabaya is also in my mind because this city is known as 'City of Heroes'. i've been searching on social media but the result is the same :duno:

Actually no, Barito area is closer to the Detour in TARA1 (the bakso cart pushing or selling bakso) that's located in Panglima Polim street, which is around less than 1 km.

Jon is probably one day ahead no? I remember last year we spotted the producers stoping in Montreal and Toronto before the Ottawa leg! (from Thailand)
-
I wouldn't consider Japan to be a destination. They've transferred through Tokyo on the show before.
-
I don't think that anyone was implying it to be.
The Pembina region in MB would make a decent substitute for Winnipeg proper.
-
Have we missed Leg 5?
It could of been in a very rural area of Indonesia, hence NO spoilers...

Bogor is semi-rural and its an hour and a half away south of Jakarta and that could have leg there.
-
We can't rule out Japan without further info.
-
I can ask my mom’s friend from Jakarta is she saw them racing and I could ask my mom’s friend from Tokyo is she saw them racing in Tokyo
-

That would be great! You never know!
-
Thinking ahead, perhaps this TARCAN will be the first to avoid a now predictable non-elimination at F5.
-
Mbabul translated to "defeat" in Malay - false cognate, perhaps?
actually it's a slang for us Indonesian.
"mbabul" and "masbul" are abbreviations for "mbak bule" and "mas bule" which means "male and female foreigners"
so it means nothing rather than to just confirmed the people are indeed not locals.
-
I think I have a clue leading to our missing leg in Indonesia

here you can see around 10 numbered taxis from a travel agent was chartered and waiting in front of a hotel around Yogyakarta.
I'm sorry I can't get more info now bcs i'm lacking signal :groan: can someone ask him?
I counted 8 :duno:
-
If Yogyakarta is the missing leg, I can kinda hear Jon's intro now, making light of the rhyming names.
"Teams will now go Jakarta...to Yogyakarta"
-
Anybody think this tweet means anything? It's in Malay not Indonesian, but I can't get a good translation in either language. The tendency to use abbreviations makes translation tough. Grrr! It mentions Argentina which makes me doubt it being TARC 6.

Apparently Yogyakarta does have an important obelisk monument that is often used as a symbol of the city of Yogyakarta:

I think this is talking about the free gas reward given out during S3, which also visited Argentina.

Stratford, Ontario, huh?
The thing that city is known for: Shakespeare/theatre. Home of the Stratford Festival (and Justin Bieber, bleh :P )
Gettin' closer to my hometown each year.

Whenever teams arrive, we can catch them. People are sure to notice.
-
Second year in a row to go from Asia in Leg 5 to ON for Leg 6.
They can't keep skipping Manitoba indefinitely...
-
The Shakespearean Gardens are very picturesque.
It would be very odd to eschew a place named for the epnoymous playwright, so it'll certainly feature as a task site or Pit Stop #6.
-

Yeah, it's not only named after the town Shakespeare was from in England, but so is the river there, the Avon. They're pretty big on it.
-
Just Jon & crew were sighted, and people were told no pictures. He's prob filming his next FB vid. Leg could be tomorrow, just like Duncan/ Salt Spring.
-
Is Stratford big enought to do a whole leg, or we are looking at more cities? Like London or Cambridge...
Maybe a whole leg with British cities in Ontario? :funny:
-

If they went to Cambridge (east of Stratford), I'm on it. That would be my hometown. :D

Agreed.
Ideally, Leg 7 is also in Ontario rather than postponing it a la TO/Sudbury and Ottawa/SSM, e.g. Kitchener now rather than later!

I'm hoping they will do only 1 leg in Ontario... And if they do another one, then maybe it will be in a different region, like north or closer to the QC boarder
Season 6 is looking to be a lot like season 5. I would guess 2 or 3 legs before going international again, then 2 legs before the finale. I hope they skip Alberta and the finale is in Winnipeg. I would except 1-2 legs in the maritimes (A combo of PEI/NS/NB) and one leg in Quebec.
-
Hopefully whatever the other upcoming international country is, it's not a Latin American one. Then this route will truly be like the last 2 seasons :P
-
Kenya or bust, unless the backup's Denmark or some such.

Thing is, those areas were already covered last year - something like Waterloo would be more feasible.

Team 6 Spotted in Toronto, but when was this?
If the person was in transit in Toronto, why was team 6 in the transit zone... Isn't Stratford close by car to Toronto?

Today, cutting it close
Very recently
-
Why go ALL THE WAY to Asia, just for 2 legs? :groan:
They could head to Europe (England, Ireland, Scotland) for a leg than a country like Denmark, Norway, Sweden or Finland.
Then head to Alberta for the penultimate leg, with the finale in Winnipeg!
-
So recap:
Jon was spotted today filming in Stratford with crew.
And now we have a team racing in Toronto.
The only question I have is: The poster saw them in the transit zone, while he was waiting for his flight. If Toronto is the final destination, why was team 6 in that zone? Wouldn't they get out the plane, then out of the terminal right away?
If Leg 6 is Stratford area, they would drive from Toronto right? Or Would they take another flight?

When you exist off a flight at YYZ, you pass by the waiting area before exiting (at least that was my experience from YVR to YYZ in March). So that seems to be a realistic option.
They are definitely driving, we have evidence of this which is forthcoming.
-
Also, they were searching for a location or directions. Either they were not familiar with the Toronto area, didn't know where Stratford is, or they are being directed to a stop along the way.
-
Another fan met Jon at Stratford about 7 hrs ago (5pm local time)

I can NOT believe I just met this guy!!! #starstruck #skeleton #canadianolympian #amazingracecanada #stratford
-
20 minutes from Stratford is the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, in a town called St. Marys. A possible place for a task?
-
I remembered recently that the world's largest hockey stick is in Duncan, BC. That seems like a great route marker for the Canadian version of the race, so I'm hoping it will pop up somewhere in the episode.
Also, a relative of mine put the tape on the stick, so it would be a cool connection for me.

She has a shirt with the word "fire" (at least that is what it looks like) on her right arm. Possible firefighters?

I've suspected one team should be firefighters, and maybe were involved with the Fort McMurray fire???

Aren’t Dylon and Kwame from Fort MacMurray?

The CBHOF is closed for renos until the end of 2018 I think.
Isn't there a Justin Bieber museum in Stratford?

The task there would be to sing a Justin Bieber song :funny:
-
There's an exhibit at the Stratford-Perth Museum, and he just visited last week. He's been seen working out, if I remember correctly a couple of days ago.
-
https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2018/04/27/justin-bieber-visits-bieber-exhibit-in-stratford.html
Wonder if they'll actually reference the Bieber connection in this leg, haha. He is one of Stratford's biggest exports.
-
The press team has been throwing hints at us and teasing us. :funny:
No teams yet!
-
If teams were spotted last night at Pearson, wouldn't the be racing this morning?
Unless they had an hour of operation until like 10, then started the first part of the leg in another city, then second half in Stratford now.
-

-
The corner of a brick wall and the top of a tree. Oh that's reeeal helpful to the detectives :lol:
-
Looking ahead to the finale, there's the possibility of it being a half-Toronto/half-Muskoka leg in the vein of Vancouver/Whistler three years ago if neither Winnipeg nor either Alberta city gets it.
-
The Asian couple made it to Leg 6, which has a good chance of being a Final 6 non-elimination!
-
Based on Ms. Wood's FB, Dylan/Kwame are confirmed to have made it to Leg 6 alongside the Asian M/F.
-
Pretty sure this is the site of the boats - Avon Pedal Boat Rentals
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.3722635,-80.9831491,3a,75y,300.95h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAF1QipP_8Zee0iBWJHGaxqf7wI_cjCZCByMTcMha145q!2e10!7i6000!8i3000
It's the only dock I see along the river. The Avon isn't a very long river. It only widens out for a short distance going through Stratford, then narrows into a little stream again.
-
Based on Ms. Wood's FB, Dylan/Kwame are confirmed to have made it to Leg 6 alongside the Asian M/F.
In the second video it looks like it is two females getting out of they boat because they both have longer hair. I don’t know for sure just a thought.

I took a screencap & zoomed in. One has dark hair, the other blonde in a ponytail. Maybe the cheerleaders - team 2.
-
Sue theorized this, but the Shakespearean Gardens just a little west of the boathouse seems like it would make for a fitting Pit Stop location.

Pretty sure its Argos because the blond on Team 3 has curly hair and Team 4 blonde has short hair.
Argos is one of the stronger FF teams this season.
-
Where is the video?
-
Where is the video?
Search Facebook: Amazing Race Stratford. There are pics & 2 videos
-
Looks like a KOR leg. We finally have a clear pic of Argos.
We should be down to about 6 teams or so. Last 2 seasons, 6 teams were left at Leg 6.
-
Agreed, this looks like a KOR leg.
Might not be a Toronto leg yet :P Sounds like they're going to get on a train.
-
Team 4 is safe until now.
-
Confirmed KOR LEG
U-turn in PLay
Regarding this picture, The person said still racing... but I don't think that meant it was a KOR, I feel like she was saying, I'm still racing today (aka still blogging about TARC today).
Beside that do we have any confirmation of a pitstop in Stratford? Maybe it's just the same leg, like start in Stratford for a detour and a task, then go to Toronto.
Also why bring all the press to Stratford for the leg, if they could have done that in Toronto? Maybe they wanted the media to follow the teams the whole leg.
-
I think its more likely the detour was in Toronto, with the Uturn board being spotted so late. Besides the theatre seems like a perfect RB task.
-
Well thanks for confirming the KOR, TV Eh
If only more TAR seasons were this helpful during filming, huh? :P
-
One of those media people posted a pic of her foot on the mat, but it was much earlier.

I'm still no convinced Stratford and Toronto are two legs haha :funny:
Team were sighted in the afternoon only in Stratford, right?
I'm also confuse with the team 6 sighting from last night in Pearson.
-
Also, I'm seeing 7 cars in the row... 7 teams left?
-
Maybe this is a TBC leg (sort of like Hamilton/Kingston in S4) ???
-

7 to 8 Cars were parked at Pearson approx 3:30 PM yesterday. I believe a flight arr from YVR immediately after this. There were at least 2 maybe 3 more YVR>YYZ flights due in last night. I can check the times again, but I'm sure team 6 was seen after one of these later flights landed.
Media went to Stratford early this morning. There were at least 3 tasks here. The mat picture was posted about 7 hours ago, and I think that was before we had any sightings. The 2X Uturn pic was posted 1 hour ago.
-
As for the 7 cars parked at Yonge-Dundas Square...I'm sure that's a task and they could have parked extra cars, if only to foil any onlookers.
I never go by the number of cars, they always park extras. S4 was a good example, both in Prince Rupert and Kingston.
-
Leg 6 for the past 2 seasons have been 6 teams left so they could easily have a decoy car.
Task was packing stuff into a car apparently- more on that later.
-
Also, the cars seen to the left are involved somehow.
-
Stratford should be an alright leg. It's definitely the most culturally rich city of the places they've gone in Ontario if Kitchener's not going to be visited :P
-
I'm not up on my TO subway stops but which one has yellow tiles with black or dark green strip/name at top? Bloor??? Posted 5 hours ago ...Was this on way to Lansdowne Station maybe?
St George station is green in that colour scheme! Its hard to tell though. In the second of the stories you can see the Yellow line from Finch Station all the way down to Dundas Station coloured in Green, meaning the train is going southbound on the way around up north. This means teams were heading towards St.George Station (and that is what where it looks like they got off from). Landsdowne station is just a few stops west of St.George...
-
Okay the last story Fossil posted has one of the people there telling the team to go to Landsdowne Station!
I wonder where they were headed. Besides that chocolate factory (from S1), there really isn't anything of note nearby. ??? Even then, it would have been closer to get off one subway stop before Landsdowne.
At least three locations in Toronto:
-Yonge Dundas Square
-Versus Coffee (which is nearby Yonge Dundas Square, you could walk the distance)
-Somewhere near Landsdowne Station (which now I believe to be somewhere near our pitstop).
-
Pretty convinced this is a KOR leg. They dumped the cars that were at Pearson yesterday, somewhere along the way. So how did they get to Toronto???
The Car Challenge was a roadblock pretty sure! See the first pic!!! Finishing order is something like: Team 6, 2, 4 first and then 8, 5 and 7 are in the back
Rainbow Latte was a Detour choice. Pretty sure because 1 team showed up.
-
If they have the RB and detour in Toronto, what did they do in Stratford? ???
Also the detour comes before the rb then, is my best guess. Any idea when the coffee photo was posted?

Stratford
Task in a Park??? - teases from Media Team
Rowing a boat or Paddling a boat in a pond
Festival Task
-
They had to have driven back to Toronto, dumped the cars there someplace. There's the train, and I'm not sure they could have arrived as quickly as they did. IMO, even a small charter would take longer???
Stratford had the theatre task, Rheo Candy task, Paddleboat.
Could be a KOR, but that's not their style. They usually film those on separate days. Even S4 Hamilton to Kingston.

The evidence is all right there. They have enough tasks for 2 legs. Very brutal.
-
Or it could just be a very long leg, and sometime they edit tasks out (Water Hockey in Ottawa, last season, and I think there was more like that).
As long as I don't see a pitstop in Stratford, I won'T believe it :funny:
Have they ever done 2 full legs in the same day? Even in the US version?
-
I would like to ask did the argo make it to leg 6 or was the pic from early on
-
Re: Lansdowne Station. I looked for places of interest nearby.
The only thing that I can see there is a BMO at the corner of Bloor & Lansdowne. Are they a sponsor again this year? If so, why this branch? Is the Pitstop nearby?
The only possibilities I see for a Pitstop are High Park further west, or Marilyn Bell Park to the south. The latter is a stretch, on the shores of Lake Ontario but she was a Canadian "hero".
The only other place that jumps out at me is St. Anne's Anglican Church. It's not normally the kind of place we'd expect them to go EXCEPT for one thing. It's interior was decorated by the Group of Seven.
There is also Christie Pits or Casa Loma.
That's all I got. :duno:
-
I would like to ask did the argo make it to leg 6 or was the pic from early on
It's from Leg 7 (or 6 who knows)
At this point, 6 teams were spotted in Toronto:
2/4/5/6/7/8
Probably our final 6, unless another teams shows up later, then we had 7 teams in Stratford/Toronto
-
If they're in Toronto, and therefore near Pearson...think they're about to go international again?
-
I'm soooo confused lol
If Jon's facebook live is really live, that means they are still racing in Toronto today?
Or he filmed it yesterday and they are showing it today?
No matter what, it means that the double-uturn is in Toronto, therefore there was a detour here.
This whole leg, KOR 2 legs, or whatever is really confusing.... It started Saturday night in Toronto, Sunday in Stratford and then another leg in Toronto?
-
The bookstore is closed today (Monday), which would make it ideal for a hidden location for a double u turn. But we had teams trying to get there yesterday? ???
-
Maybe, because Toronto is a big city, they decided to do the Facebook live one day late. Duncan was one day before, but in a private place. Indonesia was different because it was abroad. But we had teams yesterday close, So my guess is that they chose to do it today, even if it was filmed yesterday, so that people didn't go today (or tomorrow)

100% agree.
BUT if the Versus Coffee was a Detour choice, that's a long, long way to go!!!
-
Live on the Road was filmed yesterday for sure!
Someone found Jon yesterday and what he was wearing matched!
-
SO much for LIVE lol....
Is that Bookstore near Lansdowne Station?

Is that Bookstore near Lansdowne Station?
Yes it is, right next to it actually.

Oh, snap! I figured that at least one women's team would get this far, but two of them did?! Nice!:)
-
The average TARCAN season runs for approximately 3.5 weeks, so the finale should be around the 19th.
-
BUT if the Versus Coffee was a Detour choice, that's a long, long way to go!!!
At least in the event of a NEL, the U-Turned team(s) will benefit from the bunch before the next leg.

JON CLUES!

Oh man a double U turn! Hopefully its AFTER a detour
-
Under the Facebook live of Today, there is a comment about seeing a team in Ingersoll, Ontario in a Subway restaurent. The team was asking for direction. This was on Sunday!
I wrote to him to have more info.
But this is 40 mins from Stratford, and not in the direction of Toronto. Could there be another city? Or some of the teams arrived from London, ON?
If this was in the morning & driving to Stratford from Toronto, they could have overshot the exit on the 401. If so, they were probably looking for the exit to Stratford at Woodstock. It's all farmland in between, and no place to ask directions. Or if they were driving to Toronto later in the day, they could have gone in the wrong direction out of Stratford & were looking for the 401.
-
There are three places of interest in Ingersoll that pop out to me: The Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum, The Elm Hurst Inn, and the Ingersoll Golf & Country Club. I suppose any of those could have been the pitstop???

BINGO!!!
-
I think this was our very first task location on Sunday. We didn't see teams until the afternoon (correct me if I am wrong) in Stratford. However, would they have two chevy related tasks on b2b legs ?
---
Another thought
Maybe go to factory, do something, and then clue says, find these cars in Toronto or smth along these lines??
---
Or maybe the factory had nothing to do with it :lol:

I can see it being just a RM, or some small task just to get it in there. Just too much of a coincidence. Maybe something involving mileage, a check-in point?

Did we see the Equinoxes in Stratford?
Maybe the RI at YYZ said "Drive to where the awesome 2018 Chevy Equinox is made." At the plant maybe they swapped the Equinoxes for the Chevy Bolts and continued to Stratford and then Toronto. What model of Chevs were at Dundas Square?
-
update from the person who saw them in Stratford :
I saw them go into York kitchen but not sure if it was a task they grabbed a map from the boat house . There must have been a task or a clue in York because after they went to the boat house and paddle boated up the river . I seen a team of men in green and 2 groups of women .

That's an Equinox.

New Theory:
We know teams landed on Saturday evening, maybe the first clue was to get to the GM CAMI Assembly plant for an overnight stay.
Then Sunday morning, teams drive to Stratford.

What kind of cars were used in the task at Yonge-Dundas Square? The Spark?
-
2 days without a peep. Must be international.
-
If the next leg truly is the second overseas flight, then it's the first with six teams in three years.

Won't there be only 5 teams?
-
Spec that the U-turn wasn't used.
If Versus was one of the Detour choices and only Team 6 was sighted, it's very possible that the U-turn was not used.

We only know of one team, yes. BUT the person who saw team 6 left shortly after, posting that at 9PM. Team 6 was calling for a taxi as they left. Isn't another scenario that team 6 was U-turned to Versus after doing the other task?
-
Just so everyone can put Leg 7 in perspective...
Teams took the subway from Yonge-Dundas Square Chevy task to Lansdowne Station and went to Monkey's Paw/2X U-Turn board. This was speculated to be a RB.
Drive time between Versus Coffee and Monkey's Paw is supposedly 20 minutes (according to Google, but this is TO). Versus Coffee is speculated to be a Detour Choice.

Key phrase: 'Very Possible"
It's spec. Something that has been on my mind.
From all the sightings and instagram stories:
They (Team 6) did leave the car challenge first! Followed by Team 4 and 2. Teams 8, 5 and 7 finished in the bottom.
-

If Versus was one of the Detour choices and only Team 6 was sighted, it's very possible that the U-turn was not used.
There is the possibility that a team that had gone pass the road block was picked, blocking someone else from using it.
-
My question is: why the distance between 2X board and Versus Coffee? Remember, they were just at Yonge-Dundas doing what we think is the RB, because team member were seen watching their teammates.

But we think the Car task was a RB, right? Because teammates were standing together, right?
If so, maybe team 6 either tried the other Detour choice & switched, OR someone beat them there/they got lost on their way to Monkey's Paw.
Could the car task be the other Detour task and each teammate had to do a part of it?
I'm just saying something's off.
-
Never underestimate how someone can get lost between a detour and u-turn board...
Remember last season, the drama with the girls and Adam/Andrea!

FIVE videos, including some close-ups.
Who is the girl? Team 3? If so, there are 7 teams left at this point.
This is latter (at dusk?) than the previous videos/pics we have.
And look carefully. In the background, you can see an orange Equinox. I thought I saw one in a pic from the other day, but it was too hard to tell.
My theory is they had to stop in Ingersoll for the clue, then go to Yonge-Dundas Square. All part of the same task.

I don't think they've ever used decoys before, but IF they were going to, they'd do it in TO.
Is there another team there? Far to the right in the line-up???
-
Or is the girl from the M/F team?
And what is she doing with that thing? Giving it CPR? Just kidding. Perhaps, trying to squish it, to get it to fit a certain way?

The challenge is stuffing crap into a car LOL
It's Team 3 for sure.
-
Yep, I know LOL.
This cap is from the vid posted at 7:30, perhaps they were just leaving? Posted at 6:30. They are just starting? (FB gives me a diff time on full page-view, sorry)
So we have 7 teams???
-
Yep, I know LOL.

They are so behind though.
They could be decoys but, if not, they are at great risk of elimination. We need our info from back at Leg 3 to see if they were even racing then??
-
If they're decoys, their acting stills are top notch. :funny: Looks like they're panicking or arguing a bit?
Also, if 7 teams, I am a bit confused with what leg we are on, maybe it wasn't a KOR and this was all Leg 6??? :duno:

Let's work this out:
Leg 1 Team 1 eliminated (it's looking like it) or Top 10 non-elimination
Leg 2 Top 10 to 9 or Top 9 non-elimination
Leg 3 9 teams left regardless
Leg 4 Top 8 non - elimination or Top 8 to Top 7
Leg 4 Top 8 to Top 7 or Top 7 non-elimination
Leg 6 7 teams remain regardless (KOR)
Leg 7 Top 7 to Top 6
-
Leg 3 could also have been the first NEL at F8, with a second non-elimination on Leg 5 if Stratford and Toronto are both Leg 6.
-
If the next leg truly is the second overseas flight, then it's the first with six teams in three years.
Won't there be only 5 teams?
Not with this new appearance of the third F/F team last seen pre-Indonesia.
-
So, no more NELs, then? Seems strange they wouldn't have one in the latter legs. (Note: based on the theory Stratford & Toronto are separate legs with a KOR. If not, there could be another NEL yet to come)
Leg 8: 6 to 5
Leg 9: 5 to 4
Leg 10: 4 to 3
Leg 11 Finale 3 teams.

Yes. They need to eliminate 7 teams in 10 legs essentially. So they could have used them all.
-
Looked like CPR to me, And I heard her say it is "stuck".
Could the task be to pack the car with all the items? I would SO rock that one!
-
It’s plausible with the premise of the season, I could see them wanting to keep more teams around for longer to showcase the heroism of each team more
It could also explain the decision to have leg 1 in close proximity to the starting line and that they would double back to BC for leg 3- it would help reduce travel costs, to help reallocate more of the budget to keep more teams around longer
Or all we saw on Sunday could be 1 leg
-
So they finally went back to Manitoba, and they're in Winnipeg? :(
Manitoba is more than Winnipeg, producers.
-
Still more justified than last year's pointless Regina revisit.
Nonetheless, why turn back west when this leg could have been the first location after Indonesia?

Nah, she was getting the air out of it.
And yeah, that's basically me too.
-
Where I've been saying for a couple years, Churchill
Lake Winnipeg
Brandon
Jon's hometown, Russell
Etc :P
I'd say Thompson, but apparently that's a murderhole.
-
Are we 100% sure they are in Winnipeg? Do we have pics?
If the Toronto leg was Sunday, that would mean they had a 48 hours pitstop.
-
The Pembina region in MB would make a decent substitute for Winnipeg proper.
-

Yes there are pics, waiting for confirmation to move over.
-
If this is still leg 7 and they had an extended Pit Stop, since they seem to be following the same domestic-intl pattern as last year, expecting leg 8 to head abroad.
Maybe Europe finally :D The original Winnipeg (a classic leg, btw) was where they flew to France from.
-
First province visited upon returning from the second overseas flight: QC, BC, NS, SK.
Fredericton and/or Moncton to keep up this pattern.
-
Oh, it's available during the filming phase.

Could head to Europe for Leg 8!
Possible locations could be UK, Sweden, Norway, Italy...

That's quite possible but I am sure it's not France
-
I also think that they use the 3 NEL for the early legs, because the theme is Hero after all, and if all the teams did go, then I guess we would want to see them longer.
Leg 1 and 2: Team #1 is out
Leg 3 - 4 - 5: 1 NEL and team #9 and 10# are eliminated
Leg 6: KOR
Leg 7: 7-6 Toronto
Leg 8: 6 to 5 Winnipeg
Leg 9: 5 to 4 International leg? (Europe or Mexico)
Leg 10: 4 to 3 (A leg in Quebec maybe? we always get one)
Finale: Usually in a big city. Maybe this time in PEI or Fredericton, first finale in the maritimes....
Few observation
Leg 1 (Live Facebook 1): Unless there was something I missed, did we ever get sighting of the teams in Squamish? The only thing I saw for leg 1 was the ferry ride from Vancouver Island to Vancouver....
Leg 2: Dawson City
Leg 3 (Live Facebook 2): Salt spring Island/Duncan. We have a lot of sightings. Peach has a more info comings.
Leg 4: (Live Facebook 3): We have one or two tweet + Facebook live, but nothing else...
Leg 5: Beside the taxi's in Yogyakarta, we have nothing for leg 5 right? It may not even be there as far as we know...
Leg 6/7 (Live Facebook 4): Stratford/Toronto: I saw two different social media people (who were invited by ctv) who wrote something that insinuate a KOR (One wrote still racing... and the other one said Keep on racing). I still feel it's weird to have both legs in the same day. I just don't understand why the PR people drove all the way to Stratford, if the next leg was going to be in the city they all live and work, Toronto. One reason could be that it's just one leg and they wanted to see the whole leg.
Also, like someone mentioned here, the KOR were always filmed on several days, even the Hamilton/Kingston one in season 4. It seems to be a lot...
But at the same time, there seems to be too many task for it to be only one leg..
Leg 8: Winnipeg. Would have made more sense for a finale.
We can't also rule out a twist... maybe something like a 'Superleg' because it's a hero's season with 'super teams'. A superleg could be like a really big leg with more task... I don't know I'm just talking here :funny:
-
I think Stratford/Toronto is two legs. We have a roadblock (spec?) and detour confirmed for Toronto. We also have two tasks confirmed in Stratford, and would they do two RI's there before finishing in Toronto? I don't think that makes a lot of sense.
This reminds me of Hamilton/Kingston back in S4, which was also a tbc two legs. However, this time there is no HOO before the second leg.

Why not Africa?

It could easily be Double RIs in Stratford + RB/Detour in Toronto for a single leg; furthermore, Hamilton and Kingston are much further apart.
It's a tad too early in the schedule to be Leg 8 already - the Peg is probably Leg 7.
-
Another possibility could be only 1 leg in Indonesia? I don't know if the time matches....
Someone on facebook said she say the teams today, and that it looked like they were delivering skip the dishes....
I hope she was joking.. lol maybe they are a sponsor this year like BBcan

They are based in Winnipeg. I think it maybe be legit :groan:

Forty-eight?! I thought the longest they have them is thirty-six!

She answered me:
it was when they were arriving...they had a whole bunch of Chevy trucks/SUVs lined up for them at the front
That was like 2 hours ago, so If it was really the teams, option from 16h30 to 18h30:
With Air Canada
Montreal at 16h15
Toronto at 16h45
Regina at 17h30
Calgary at 18h25
Vancouver at 19h10
So probably a layover

After today (or tomorrow) leg, there should only be 2 legs left...
There is rumours that the next leg is still in Canada, which makes me think they may not go back international... Unless the penultimate leg is International and they come back for the finale. (I really doubt they would do the finale in another country).
Unless Stratford/Toronto was one leg (leg 6), Winnipeg is leg 7, today is leg 8, leg 9 international, then leg 10 and 11 in Canada.
-
Is this a member of team 2 or 7?
-
Is this a member of team 2 or 7?
Most likely 7 cuz 2 wears blue

What if Leg 9 and 10 are international?

What if Leg 9 and 10 are international?
Slim! We may possibly be on Leg 9 already. They have one more chance before a blowout.
About 5 clues or so were spotted today. This is what I'm thinking is happening:

Leg 1 and 2: Team #1 is out

Leg 8: 6 to 5 Winnipeg
Leg 9: 5 to 4 International leg? (Europe or Mexico)
Leg 10: 4 to 3 (A leg in Quebec maybe? we always get one)
Finale: Usually in a big city. Maybe this time in PEI or Fredericton, first finale in the maritimes....
-
More like:
Leg 6 - Stratford + Toronto, 7 teams racing
Leg 7 - Winnipeg, 6 or 7 teams racing
Leg 8 - Charlottetown, 5 or 6 teams racing
Leg 9 - Nairobi, Copenhagen, etc., 5 teams racing
Leg 10 - somewhere in Quebec, 4 teams racing
Leg 11 - Edmonton or Calgary, 3 team finale
-
Just to clarify the Charlottetown task.
It appears it involved searching Some of the 9 Eckhart mice statuettes.
At one point, 5 "tags" were seen on one of the mice.
This is a map of the locations per http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/living/mouse-statues-in-charlottetown-part-of-educational-game-108896/ (http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/living/mouse-statues-in-charlottetown-part-of-educational-game-108896/), which is interactive on that page.
-
I think they did the same thing as season 2, 1-2 tasks in Charlottetown, and then they went somewhere else.
I saw on facebook New London, I just hope they visited also another corner of PEI, you know...
Also with the confirmation of team 5 being from Calgary, it seems we already have 3 teams from Alberta this season!
We will know with the remaining sighting how many legs are left...Just my theory, but maybe they will do a leg in the USA, like somewhere not too far from the boarder...that would not be too expensive and it would count as international.
-
With all due respect, the original American edition must visit Vancouver for a full leg complete with Pit-Stop a la the Aussies before TARCAN even need deign to visit the States.

The first thing I thought of when you said this is the little library south of Sherbrooke, Quebec that straddles the Canada/US border. They could go to the US without actually going to the US. And it would count. LOL

Lol that is in Stanstead, QC. SUPER small town, it would be tough to find other things to do in that area if they did that, besides the library.
-
Oh for sure, it would have to be in a combo leg with Sherbrooke.

That could be an option. I was thinking more of a Vermont leg or even NYC.
It really depends on how many legs we have left. If we only have two legs left, I don't see them leaving the country. One leg in Québec (maybe the Richelieu valley with the library on the border) and the finale. I think this year's finale will be Edmonton or Fredericton.
-
Fredericton, strangely, is the lone capital that's never been visited (or even mentioned).
If this turns out to be the final season, it's definitely a possibility...if it's not still underwater by the time they get there (The flooding of the Saint John River peaked at a historic high)
-
Just to recap:
Seen in PEI: 5/7/8
Last seen in Winnipeg: 2/4
Last seen in Toronto: 3/6
Last seen in Salt Spring Island: 9/10
Last seen in Victoria: 1
-
Wasn't the only Manitoba sighting just Jon Monty with those two local non-racer ladies?

Nay, it would break the pattern of major cities for finales: TO -> Ottawa -> Van -> MTL -> QC.
NB's likely getting skipped this season now that PEI's on the itinerary.
-
Oh for sure, it would have to be in a combo leg with Sherbrooke.
Decent chance of this being the penultimate episode after they come back from abroad from Leg 9 and before flying to either Alberta metropolis for the finale.

At least the race could have a leg in Quebec for the penultimate leg.
-
It really depends on how many legs we have left. If we only have two legs left, I don't see them leaving the country.
There must be three remaining because the Starting Line was on the 23rd and the earliest finish would be on the 19th.
-
The Toronto Double U-Turn at Final 7 was probably the first one, with the second board appearing on the Final 5 international leg.
-
So if we have 5 teams left, it does mean Toronto/Stratford was one leg (leg 6) team 3 probably eliminated
Winnipeg was leg 7 (6 or 7 teams)
PEI was leg 8 (6 or 5 teams left)
This is leg 9, they may go international now (5 becomes 4)
Come back for leg 10 (4 becomes 3)
Finale
-
UGH.
5 teams remaining.
OR the eliminated team is travelling too???
UGH

I think I'm more confused than ever. We may not be able to figure this out until it's done. They haven't put out a press release so we don't even know how many legs we're dealing with. If this is a special edition, we may get a 12 leg season????
-
Well, they promised four more location-hinting live events. So far we've had 3.
Stratford didn't really count as it wasn't live (and useless anyway. Floorboards, a brick wall, and a tree. Whoop-de-do.)
Maybe they'll do one when they get to the next place.
-
So if we have 5 teams left, it does mean Toronto/Stratford was one leg (leg 6) team 3 probably eliminated
Winnipeg was leg 7 (6 or 7 teams)
PEI was leg 8 (6 or 5 teams left)
This is leg 9, they may go international now (5 becomes 4)
Come back for leg 10 (4 becomes 3)
Finale

Haha I'm also confused...but I don't think they would make the eliminated team travel with them, so I really thing we have 5 teams. 12 legs is possible, it's been done before and it's labelled as a special season.
If not, then what makes the most sense is between:
Leg 6: Stratford/Toronto
Leg 7: Winnipeg
Leg 8: PEI
Between these 3: we have 2 elimination and 1 NEL, going from 7 to 5
Another possibility would be that leg 6 (or 6/7) was just one super leg with 2 roadblocks, 1 detour in Toronto with the UTurn, and a few route info. We saw two different media people post finish mat, maybe we should analyse if it's the same setting/time.
-
I'm pretty sure the mat pics/teases were posted WELL BEFORE they landed in Toronto. We thought the leg was done, then bam they show up at Yonge & Dundas. But I can also see them doing that as a foiler.
-
They could be doing 12 legs and Stratford/Toronto are 2?
So confused :groan:
-
I am thinking 12 legs, or 11 and Stratford/Toronto are counted as one leg (but both being full ones, sort of like Hungary in TAR6).
-
It's interesting that Team 6 only has one backpack. Same strategy as Jess/Cody
-

They might even make it a 2 hour episode. By that stage on the TV schedule, there's little on anyway.
-

When did Jody drop the 2nd backpack? Penultimate? They can't be carrying warm coats??? They know they won't need them? :duno:

Jody didn't have a full on 2nd backpack since the start. They had one full on bag and a small bag I think.
Team 6 using that strategy???

Yup, it is possible, they know we are watching lol :0328:
-
Well, damn. The cheerleaders were looking strong. What could've happened to them, I wonder?
-
Looks like my hypothesis proved right:
Leg 6 - Stratford + Toronto, 7 teams racing
Leg 7 - Winnipeg, 6 or 7 teams racing
Leg 8 - Charlottetown, 5 or 6 teams racing
Leg 9 - Nairobi, Copenhagen, etc., 5 teams racing
Leg 10 - somewhere in Quebec, 4 teams racing
Leg 11 - Edmonton or Calgary, 3 team finale
-
So Cheerleaders may have ended their run in Winnipeg or Charlottetown.
-
Well, damn. The cheerleaders were looking strong. What could've happened to them, I wonder?
Could have been the death of their race getting a bad Cab Driver

Quite possibly that and maybe them seen as a threat or maybe they were way ahead of everyone (I am hoping for that)

Stay tuned guys! Lots of news to come later today!

Above-average probability of a Saturday finale in either of the major Alberta cities.
-
Stay tuned guys! Lots of news to come later today!
I can't wait!!
I also can't wait for the show to air and see if our suspicions and theories are close :)

From Jon’s latest video they are in Mexico City. Jon is at the Central de Abasto market, “one of the two large wholesale markets in Mexico City. The facility is located on a property that extends 328 hectares (810 acres)”.
And there is a team of first respnders.
-
I think Peach has more info!
But it's pretty exciting to have another international destination!!
I was just in Mexico City last February to visit a friend and it's a wonderful city.
I wonder if I was there at the same time as the producers, while they were scanning for location :clap2:

Mexico City
Wow! Hi everyone! Long time no see! But if anything happens in my hometown, I'm always here to help. Here you can see the exact location of the video and place mentioned above by Xoruz: https://goo.gl/maps/hsoRwnhyML82 (https://goo.gl/maps/hsoRwnhyML82)

Yes we have full info from the day to share later. Coordinating data and will be back hopefully later tonight with more!

Yey! Two locations confirmed for Mexico City now:
Teams at: https://goo.gl/maps/LnQZrUt1Wg42

Mexicto City!
Another undervisited country, gets a visit! :cheer: :conf:

As for the finale city, usually we always have a big city.
But we used to always have a different province for the starting line/leg 1 but not this year.
So it is possible that they don't travel to a big city (aka the only one left are Calgary/Edmonton) but we could have a medium city like Halifax or even smaller like Fredericton. I mean there is plenty to do in Fredericton to have a whole finale there...
-
At least Quebec has never had an elimination leg in the first five seasons and that would make sure to have a penultimate Quebec leg.
-

I think it would be logical to have the penultimate leg in Quebec. There are plenty of direct flight from Mexico City to Montreal, and lots of flight from Montreal to pretty much anywhere in Canada

Would they really skip all of AB - including Banff - just to go to NB after the PEI revisit covered the Maritimes quota?
-
I don't think they have quotas, almost every season there has been 2 maritimes legs (except last season where the starting line was there + 1 leg, season 3 had 1 leg in NS and another one in Magdalen Islands, which is in Quebec but pretty maritime if you ask me)
They already almost skipped AB in season 2, only had the starting line there, so I think they could skip it also this year.
-
The final leg couldn't be in Quebec, though. That would be 3 years in a row.

Don't forget that they also went from Jasper to Calgary to do that task with Helen Upperton.
-

Seriously, Occam's Razor says QC for the penultimate leg and then either major AB city for the finale.
-
YAASSS FREDERICTON FINALLY GOT THE LEG THERE.
All of Canada's provincial and territorial capitals are now complete in every leg of TAR Canada.
-
I'm now starting to think that Halifax will be the finale city, although it is weird for all maritime provinces to be visited. Finale's have usually been near the penultimate leg and most seasons have the first leg start off in a certain side of Canada and end on the other side of Canada.
Season 1: British Columbia - Ontario
Season 2: British Columbia - Ontario
Season 3: Ontario - British Columbia
Season 4: Alberta - Quebec
Season 5: British Columbia - Quebec
Halifax also has a very notable military history which would fit the theme of heroes edition.

:welcome: Princess Bella brown I Don’t really know much of Canada but I think Hailfax might be final city too

Thank you i've been lurking this site for a long time

Me too well before I joined when I had free time sitting in a cafe in Tasmania
-
Fredericton :D So finally, 3 seasons after the rest, the last provincial capital gets its day.
-
Yay :conf: :conf:
I'm really happy Fredericton gets a visit
But a little sad because this means Quebec will likely be skipped...I don't really understand why because it's the biggest province will soooo many different place to visit, and being a french area brings an extra level of difficulty for most teams.
I doubt the finale will be here, because we just had 2 in a row....
-
In this instagram post, we have team 7 running, but there seems to be a team in the background, tall person in red, team 5?
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi4RU7_Bhih/?tagged=fredericton

Maybe it's something like that task in London TAR25. They have to perform like the guards do.

Agreed. It's definitely another team - they have their own crew.

Maybe they had to "inspect the guards." List the things that were wrong?

1: Newfoundland -> Toronto
2: NB -> Ottawa
3: Edmonton -> Lower Mainland
4: NB -> Montreal
5: SSM -> QC City
Just odd to snub the entirety of both Alberta and Quebec.
-
Here's a location possibility if they go out of the city:
Fredericton is located not far from the well-known CFB Gagetown. With this being a "Heroes Edition"...
-
Yeah i would be weird to skip two major provinces, but the last two season routes have been pretty unpredictable.
-
Certainly last year's choice of destinations, if somewhat less so for Season 4: Calgary had yet to get a full leg, Northern BC was the last major unexplored region, and MTL fit the pattern of big city finales.
So next year might compensate by devoting two episodes to AB and another pair to QC.
-
As for the Final Memory Challenge, perhaps it's matching the feats of national heroes to the dates when they happened?
There would then be the option to bypass acknowledgement of the international destinations like last year's.
-
Finale Leg could be Prine Edward Island-Quebec-Alberta? :duno:
VERY unlucky, but still...
-
From Caper's live post, we know the f4 is 5/6/7/8....
So sad to have the 3 F/F go out back to back... :groan:
Hope team 6 makes it to the final, they look a bit different from the generic boring couple
-
Wonder where the finale's going to be. Unless they're totally going for 3 consecutive years, it won't be in Quebec again. So the first time without that province.
-
Maybe Nova Scotia and it will be the first time in TAR Canada that is going to end the leg in Atlantic Canada. Halifax is way better for a final city.
-
So they did go to Gagetown, huh, Stunami?
-

They haven't been to Peggy's Cove yet, a beautiful backdrop for a final pitstop!
-
So they did go to Gagetown, huh, Stunami?
Yup and by the description of the guy, it looked like a detour: team 6/7 did the flight simulator and 5/8 did the more physical one!
They also stopped by a base in Winnipeg, no? That would make the second military in the same season

But a clear shot for an M/F to take the title which is welcome because TARCan still has not had an M/F winner.

At least they made it far to Leg 7 up to Leg 10 or 11? Imagine an All-Female team gets eliminated first in Leg 1 or 2 and we can't get more of their interviews...

One-in-four chance that Dylan/Kwame are the final elimination is better than none.
-
Looks like one member of team 8 was in this photo. Seems like it may be outside of the airport or something?
-
Yup, it is team 8! I think it's either behind the military base or the University!
-
Perhaps there will be a task in Calgary before going to Banff like three years ago with Vancouver and Whistler.
-
Yeah, but there are probably enough tasks to do in Canmore/Banff/Lake Louise.
If they do film in Calgary it will probably be just one task.
Lake Louise is one of the most famous landmark in Canada, and it wasn't seen so far, so I think it will be feature (but not as the finale mat because they are too many tourists/people that may see)
If teams arrive in Calgary, then I can see Canmore as a stop.
-
Given the scenery as well as the fact that the temperatures are in the 20s, it's unlikely that the Finish Line will be indoors.
-
I'm surprised there was no sighting of teams whatsoever for the finale... Banff/Canmore is a pretty touristic area and this was a long weekend. Unless our admins have a surprise for us haha
I think this probably means there they did stuff inside and far from tourists.

That's what I thought, too. I actually was in Banff once on this very same holiday weekend about 10 years ago. The traffic in town was as bad as an interstate in rush hour.
Thus I expected a load of sightings.

It went from the names of Australia 2's Final Five to nothing, not even a conclusive Live Stream.

AB saves the day and I'm not even talking about Alberta!
-
How crazy is it that we have teams only from 3 provinces (AB/BC/ON)...
We usually always have from 5 provinces minimum... Hopefully team 3 is from somewhere else and the other guy from team 1 is not from Ontario lol
-

Team 3 is our only hope for 4 provinces cuz Team 5 is from Calgary supposedly.
-
And I notice, too, that the Ontario teams have a terrible history of being the strongest :( It's like the Toronto-based casting knows what they're doing.
Of the final 3:
S1-2/3
S2-2/3
S3-3/3
S4-1/3
S5-2/3 (if you count Giv'er as a BC team for living there now)

Our last 4 winners were from Ontario too right?

Yep.
Then again, I guess Natalie & Meaghan only count as half a team. Meaghan's Albertan.

Ontario has about 37% of Canada's population, so really 3-4 teams is the right amount each time.

And yeah team 4 is the only east coast/northern Canada's hope... Maybe the Team 1 member in Saudi Arabia is from another province and we have a mixte teams like the Hockey Girls in S2

Reason to believe Moose Jaw for Corey.

Perhaps production has finally gotten around to casting a team from the Territories, especially with this being the first gimmick season: for comparison, no American racer(s) hailed from Louisiana until Family Edition.

They were at the Royal Canadian Legion in Winnipeg...that could be it.

Hopefully.
What's curious is the abrupt cutoff without a token image for Fredericton.
-
It seems every teams's pictures (except Martina and Phil, weirdly) from CTV_PR are from leg 1.
We have lots of nature shots, and two pictures (the one from Adam and Courtney & Zainab and Monica) are in some kind of office/library looking at maps. I look at it doesn't match Squamish's public library, but there is a Service Canada Center there (But I can't find any pictures from inside to compare)

What about a library in Victoria?

Season 6 of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA welcomes back returning partner Chevrolet, which has been with the series for all six seasons, and Woods, which enters its second consecutive season as a partner.

Chevrolet is going to award a car to a Twitter user who answers questions about each episode at the end of the season.... get ready for a flock of ppl to RFF :funny:
Alcoln Dailies will have a $1000 a week contest, and $10,000 grand prize

That kind of paneling is almost standard in libraries and universities so there is no way to say with any certainty. The UVic McPherson Library has a geography section but I can't find an interior pic. The law library, which is in the same building, has similar paneling but the carpeting is different.

The videos of the teams cycling on a tandem bike - was that done only for promo reasons or part of the race? I don't seem to recall any mention of cycling.

I think they just filmed that for promo/introduction going to the starting line.
Like they had skidoo's in season 4, and boats in season 1!
-
Checking the boot order after last night's premiere, it looks pretty good based on my first impressions from the episode. Final 5 looks pretty solid. Though of the five, Adam & Courtney I like the least. Especially if they continue their kissy face overload like last night. lol
-
Looks like the chances are good this time for a non-Ontarian winner, and maybe MF, finally.
The Tims have been the only winners not from Ontario, and that was from 5 seasons ago.
-
The winning team is one of the first 5 shown in the intro in the last few seasons so, if the trend continues, Phil/Martina don't win.

Just thought about this!!! In the timeline we indicate 12 lrgs! I dont see that happening! I am thinking that we only get 1 indonesia leg and a leg in mexico!!!
-
^^^ I think they were in Indonesia for an extended period? And there is some speculation (myself included) that the Stratford/Toronto sightings are some kind of superleg - they were filmed the same day. A very long day. Previous seasons KORs are filmed over two days - even S4's Hamilton/Kingston KOR was 2 days. I just remember we were very confused with the sightings Indonesia vs the Stratford/Toronto legs. But I guess we'll find out soon enough.

My guess is
-Stratford RB
-Toronto Detour + U Turn + RI + Pitstop
Wow!
-
I think Stratford sightings were the paddleboats; the candy store; and Avon Theatre. Toronto was Dundas Square and Detour/2x UTurn???
I had the explanation for the legs all set in my mind. Now I'm not so sure. :groan:
Indonesia's such a long way to go for just one leg and they usually have a two-leg international block. :duno:
-
Hypothetical tasks for the leg after next based on TARCAN's willingness to avoid merely rehashing challenges from the original:
Face-Off: defeat another team in a pencak silat tournament
Route Info: search through hundreds of women in kebaya for one of eight with the pancasila symbol
Roadblock: earn 50,000 rupiah from cooking and selling tempeh
Detour: perform to an audience's satisfaction as part of a wayang troupe or decode one of Matahari's secret messages written in Javanese script
-
The preview looks like a splice between TARA1's serpent RB (possibly even in the same zoo) and All-Stars' batik making.
-
Looks like Indonesia is only going to be one leg.
Producers had to arrange visas and fly the eight remaining teams, camera and sound crews, director Rob Brunner and host Jon Montgomery approximately 30,000 kilometres there and back for the single episode, which will air Tuesday.
http://www.capebretonpost.com/living/producer-explains-effort-it-takes-to-fly-amazing-race-canada-contestants-abroad-227700/
Guess that solves the mystery of Stratford/Toronto, then. It WAS 2 legs, surely a KOR.
-
The phrasing is still ambiguous enough to maintain that second leg in Yogyakarta.
-
I think that
there and back for the single episode
seems pretty conclusive for just ONE episode, right?
-
Disagreed because the wording doesn't rule out a visit to another one-leg country like last season.
-
There and back was good enough for Bilbo, it's good enough for TARC.
I may think it ridiculous they did this for a single episode, but I'm convinced they did it now. An extended pitstop accounting for the delay in filming, and a KOR between Stratford and Toronto.
-
The second leg in Indonesia is definitely ruled out for now. I agree with Maanca and WindsorSue for the two Ontario legs.

It can't be helped, I suppose - and something similar happened later for MXC, eh?
-
I do wonder if the lack of either Air Canada, Hotels.com and even Sinorama as sponsors this season are partially responsible for this shift, as it seems to lack tourism field sponsor with this season.
-
Might this season be TARCAN's first to have three Double U-Turns a la the Strangers' Edition?
I wonder because of two particularly strong teams leaving before the finale just like the Holtbys did.
-
The Episode 5 Sneak Peek is already up on YouTube. They have to find where the Chevrolet Equinox is assembled in Ingersoll, Ontario. Which is 30 miles south of Stratford.

Some teams then mention Oshawa, which has to be wrong because that's nowhere close (2 hours in the other direction)
-
I wonder what will happen to Leann & Marr to be eliminated at 6th place. They performed very well so far.
I am also kinda suprised how bad are Courtney and Adam doing placement wise, because on paper, they seems like TARCAN version of Dave & Rachel, lol.
-
Leanne & Mar, Nancy & Mellisa, Courtney & Adam and Zainab & Monica head east to Oshawa. At BEST, they're going to be 90 minutes behind Taylor and Courtney, Martina & Phil and Dylan & Kwame who go west to Ingersoll.

That's the beauty of the Amazing Race... You can do good in every leg, but all it takes is one bad leg and you are gone!

Todd & Anna are the 1st example of the Season. :'(

I don't think they will be THAT much behind, as it's late in the evening/night and they will most probably find an HoO in Ingersoll for the next morning...
-
Yes! I forgot...they landed at Pearson the night before. :groan:
-
And teams were spotted at a Subway in Ingersoll (from the Facebook live event) I thought maybe it meant they had a task to do in London, ON.
But now we know why!

Will this season be the first to break the annual Final Five NEL tradition?
If not, then it'll be a copy of the S22 sequence, c.f. CAN1 = S14, CAN2 = S20, CAN4 = S26, and CAN5 = S29.
-
Depends if the final NEL is in Winnipeg or Charlottetown!
I hope they break it and do the finale NEL at F6!!
-
Anything to guarantee an extra episode with the Argos gals...who are the prime targets for a potential third U-Turn besides the Alberta women.
-
Phil and Martina might be U-turned? They were the only team seen at the coffee... just spec.
-
Based on the "next episode" promo, nurse and firefighter weren't.
-
Perhaps the Final Memory Challenge will be all the bird appearances:
Squamish - totem poles by the climbing RB
Dawson City - feathers on dancers at can-can Detour
SSI/Duncan - knotting RB
Jakarta - site of the U-Turn board
Stratford - dove rebus image from Pedal Detour
-
Was just reviewing the Timeline
We had 11 legs mapped out, as we were assuming that we'd get two legs in Indonesia, due to the timing between sightings. Of course, now we know, it was nought.
Assuming this is another 11 leg race, like TAR Can 4 and 5, wonder where this "missing leg" would be set.
From the filming dates we gathered, the only big gap remaining would be between Mexico City, Mexico → Fredericton, New Brunswick. As we had the Mexico sightings from May 13-14, and the New Brunswick sightings were from May 17.
-
There is two leg 7's listed (by error), in the timeline.
-
If it's an 11 leg race, there is no missing leg
Leg 6: Tonight: Stradford to Toronto
Leg 7: Toronto to Winnipeg
Leg 8: Winnipeg to PEI
Leg 9: PEI to Mexico City
Leg 10: Mexico City to Fredericton
Leg 11: Finale: Fredicton to Banff
Which is what's already on the timeline, so it's already set
-
Excessive amount of performance/dance tasks
Can Can Dance Leg 2 Detour
Hand Dance Leg 4 Roadblock
Shakespeare Play Leg 5 Roadblock
Dance Detour - Leg 6 Detour
Either production wanted this many or this cast isn't coordinated enough so they put together so many of these tasks. :funny:

You can't have a memory task with items from a detour (where some teams might not have seen the items...)

And Leg 7 detour. I am not sure what their thinking was?
-

Wrong, because 12's required the Lithuanian stilts and CAN4's used the specific names of the first Vietnamese one.
-
The names are fine, because teams need to read their clue to determine which detour to do.
As for TAR12, iirc, some of the festival goers in the other side of the detour had stilts on.
In this case the coffee had no feathers or anything to do with it (from what I can recall)
-
Right now all the Canada legs have been self driven and all future legs in Canada look to be the same. So could it be what car you drove on each leg as a final memory challenge.
-
It's becoming clear now that dances are a theme of the season. I'm already picturing a task of the Mexico leg now.
-
Maybe the Final Memory Challenge involves the dance/routine per leg:
Squamish - either RB
Dawson City - can-can Detour
SSI/Duncan - knotting RB
Jakarta - Saman RB
Stratford - fencing RB
Toronto - vogue Detour
Winnipeg - ballet task
-
