Im surprised we havent seen no airport pics yet, maybe they arent heading too far from Toronto ?
That image does not look like Pearson Airport too me.
Perhaps on the way to Union?
Airport sighting of the red team on IG, so they're going somewhere :)
What's with those 2 red cars at the Starting Line?
Where they the 2019 Chevrolet Blazers the first team across the Finish Line win? ???
Kamloops is first leg ?
They were sighted in Vancouver, but do we know if it’s a connection? Maybe a first-time visit to Kamloops or Prince George?
So for a little recap, so far we got:
Leg 1 in Kamloops:
- Arrive at the airport, find vehicle
- Ajax Mine (reported as the first clue)
- Flag spotted at Kamloop's Bike Range
- Teams spotted in Aberdeen and Juniper area
- Riverside Park: Post leg interview (potential pitstop close)
Do we know what time the first pictures of post interview was taken?
(The one with team 6) If Jet/Dave was at 6h30, we will could know who was the first of the two teams.
We have two locations for sure with tasks, but I think we must be missing 1 or 2.
Knowing this show, I'd say there's a good bet on Craigellachie. That's the site of the "last spike", where they completed the national railroad. That's kind of a big deal in Canadian history.
Teams were spotted racing out of the museum with a camera man running behind. One team stopped and asked city workers where the Revelstoke Mountain Resort was and also information on how to get around a Canadian Pacific train. At the time, a train had stopped and was blocking the road crossing in front of the museum....
Are these two teams entering & leaving the Railroad Museum? 3:04 PM PDT
One F/F, interracial M/F, and the First Nations duo.
One F/F, interracial M/F, and the First Nations duo.
Where are you getting the F/F sighting from? I think we only saw 9 at Timmies & 5 at the Railroad Museum.
So safe after 2 legs:
- Team 9 (Irina and Dave)
- Team 1 (Indian M/F)
- Team 2 (Blondes) Seen arriving at the airport
- Team 3 (Sask girls)
- Team 6 (Interracial M/F)
- Team 7 (Twins)
Safe after leg 1:
- Team 5 (James Anthony)
Not seen after leg 1:
- Jet/Dave Seen arriving at the airport
- Team 4 (Red M/M) Not seen since Pearson
- Team 9 (African-Can F/F) Not seen since the starting line
There is a pic of Red Backpacks. I think those belong to Team 4.
Man, I wonder what happened to Jet and Dave. LOL
I only saw you saying SIX teams but there were 8.
Correct me if I’m wrong but where did we see team 7?
Indo cdn team still at airport - asking 2nd info booth info with camera, girl had map
Sister Overheard info lady telling i do-cdn team about two flights tomorrow - 9:15 & other that couldn’t hear
Possibly staying at hotel at yvr where camo team took taxi
As someone pointed out the other day, this year is 20 years since the split of NWT to create Nunavut. April 1, 1999. I could absolutely see the show marking that.
Weird how it's the only province/territory to never get a full leg.
Jon's rarest rainforest is Revelstoke. The Enchanted forest brags of 800 year old cedar trees.
Also, this: https://seerevelstoke.com/things-you-didnt-know-about-revelstoke/ (https://seerevelstoke.com/things-you-didnt-know-about-revelstoke/)
I can see Quebec possibly getting 2 legs with Nova Scotia hosting the finale.
For an Asia leg, my bet would be Japan, but Ive been saying this for the last 3 years lol
I don't know why they haven't done a leg there, I mean they took a flight there to go to Indonesia last year, and I see a big connection with Canada and Japan.
If not Japan, then maybe Hawaii, Australia or the Philippines (lots of immigrants in Canada from there).
I'm wondering if the international legs will be back-to back this time since Leg 5 is a lot longer into the season to start them than usual
I'm wondering if the international legs will be back-to back this time since Leg 5 is a lot longer into the season to start them than usual
I was just thinking the same thing. And a connection from Yellowknife will require at least two more connections...doesn't seem the best choice.
Legs in Quebec will be tricky this year because a lot of our province is experiencing horrible floods. I wonder if they had a leg planned where the worst of the floods hit.
And also the Fredericton leg last year, no?
(Or that was when it was airing? I'm confused)
Anyway if they do Quebec this year (If....) I think they will do Montreal (Toronto and Vancouver both got 3 legs) and if they do another one, then maybe a share leg with Labrador (Fermont/Wabush-Labrador City) or somewhere a bit further (Abitibi/Saguenay or Estrie) or even something close to Montreal, like Chambly/Saint-Jean sur Richelieu
Very likely that today was the crew set up day was today and the actual filming is tomorrow. Stay tuned!
It was completely bizarre how Quebec was left out last season therefore i would not be surprised if it got two legs this season to compensate. I also expect a leg in either Thunder Bay or Niagara Falls as I can't see Ontario only being used as a starting line.

Internationally speaking...we just had a leg in Manila. I'd prefer somewhere new myself.
Then that means two of these 3 are out:
- Jet/Dave
- James & Anthony
- Team #8 (African-Canadian f/f)
I would be SHOCK to see Jet/Dave go in the first 2 episodes :O

Jet and Dave gone on the first couple of legs completely ruins TARC's whole Vote a Team to return plan. Fans who voted for them, hoping to see more of them in the race will be very disappointed. Also, according to some sources, this plan was hatched at the last minute and seemed to be a very seat of the pants kind of thing.

Yeah, that's what Dave said in an interview with Rob Has a Podcast. Production just kinda sprang this news on them about a week before the vote was announced.
They had almost no time to get back into racing-ready shape after 7 years. For this, I suspect Frankie & Amy would have gotten farther.

Yep, that's what I heard, about a week before the launch of the vote, the teams were asked to participate. Some said no. Also, again prior to the opening of casting applications, many teams were asked about an all-star season. Again, a number said no for a variety of reasons: don't hang out with, date, or like former teammate; too busy; applied for Survivor.

hmmm "tried out for Survivor? I wonder if we'll see any TARC racers on the next Survivor season?
Not seeing any sightings on Yellowknife yet, but apparently it's cold today! -16 C (3 F)
Think the Leg will be done by 5PM. MT. Hope we get some pics!

Always possible they flew out to somewhere else via a private operator like in Season 1.
Little confused right now... Which leg is happening? 4 or 5? Also who is the team at the newest sighting?

4. And by the blue backpacks, it's Marsha & Kali.

Since TARC prefers going to countries with big Canada connections, the Philippines certainly fits the bill with the big Filipino population in Canada.
BUT! It's also a perfect time for TAR Canada to go to the Philippines now after the controversy re: Canada's garbage in the Philippines is back in the news. It would be hilarious. :clap2:

That's what I'm thinking. I've been watching for mentions about Nunavut, too. If they went to some little outpost, chances are we may not see them.
That would be very funny. "In this task, sort the Canadian garbage into recyclables, compost and household waste."
But that would also mean they probably aren't going to the Philippines due to this political spat.
Have no photos to back this up...
But believe that one task (possible RB??) will require the racer to scuba dive under ice.
And the leg may have ended at the Chief Drygeese Center (https://conferences.spectacularnwt.com/venues/chief-drygeese-conference-centre-yellowknives-dene-first-nation)
I don't think they will go at any 'northern/snow' place for the rest of the season... From that facebook live, Revelstoke also looked quite cold, so with Yellownknife that's two 'north/snow' leg already.
Guess that eliminated Labrador and maybe Thunderbay
Team 7 is at the Edmonton Airport on their way to Vancouver.

lol!
With international Legs at such a premium on TAR Canada, especially now compared to the four international Leg seasons before, it's very interesting to see which special countries get the visit.
I'll assume they're going to Asia, though I guess South America is possible as well.
The big shock would be if they continue going westward until they return to Canada, having all the international Legs (however many that will be) in the middle of the season.
I presume the leg has started/is over by now. Couldn't find anything today. I'll be mildly surprised if it isn't a southeast Asian country since they've dug themselves into that predictable rut the past 3 seasons :P

I really hope it's not the case, but if it were how could they go almost completely undetected in Vancouver of all places.
Is it possible Kamloops and Revelstoke were one leg? Could be like TAR28 leg 1 when they had an overnight rest...
Part of me is still hoping it's false lol, like a conspiracy by production who created fake twitter accounts or paid people to tweet that
Because tweets = not 100% the truth
As long as I don't see a picture of the teams in Nanaimo, I won't believe it :lol:
If i were to guess the next location considering it is an international leg, i'd say seoul, south korea.
The blonde team looks like a Canadian Marty & Hagan lol
Based on the timing, Saskatoon is Leg 6.
Elmira and St. Jacobs have a significant Amish population. Wonder if they'd do something with that.
4 teams spotted! I think we are at final 6
Seen: Team 1/2/5/9
Not seem: 3/4/6/7
We haven't seen 6 teams right...so spec?? I keep hoping we haven't missed a whole leg!

Yes, it's just spec! (hence the I think)
We Could be at final 5 or final 7...
We know 100% the first two legs were eliminations because we have the sign in sheet/thing at Kamloops airport for leg 3 with only 8 spot.
Then we had 4 legs since (Edmonton/Yellowknife/Nanaimo/Saskatoon). Looking at the last 3 seasons (with the 10 teams 11 legs format) Every season had 6 teams at leg 7. Anything is possible but I think we are at 6 teams left. If leg 8 is also in Ontario, then it's possible we have a KOR like last year and season 4 with Kingston/Hamilton

Students at the University of Waterloo say that TAR was filming on campus.

Also, here's another sighting by the Charles Street Transit Terminal.
Robot Wars Face Off? :funny:
Robot Wars Face Off? :funny:
With apologies to 2001 and Stanley Kubrick:
Robot: I'm sorry, Dave and Irina. I'm afraid I can't do that. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
LOL. Curious what they would be allowed to do with the robots. Maybe they have a stash of beaters. Could be an obstacle course, and I see they have drones too.

Seems to be the case.
New comment: "Is this related to the filming they were doing in E7 with the Pepper humanoid robots and that obstacle maze setup they had?"
E7 is the building that houses RoboHub.Robot Wars Face Off? :funny:
Part of me really wants that to happen.
Peach, what you mean by the 'Final Task/FinalePitstop at Laurier University Stadium' ???
It reads to me like you are talking about the Finish Line of the race! :funny:
This one went pretty well :) Got us some much needed clear sightings of who's left.
Do you know where they are Peach??
Don't think they are out of country...
Quebec City, where they had a finale 2 seasons ago. Looks like we have our answer.
No you didn't my bad, but if teams are in Quebec now to start leg 9, there should be 5 teams left no? (If this is leg 9 that is).
I guess I'm just confused on what teams are doing now: is it the start of leg 9, or are they just passing to go to another destination, etc.
I don't believe we have Quebec listed as a leg??
Did I miss something?
It is POSSIBLE that today could be a KOR day...so stay alert for sightings please!
Maybe just a quick departure today... but no sightings? Not sure they have time to stay holed up until tomorrow...???
We have no evidence for Quebec being a leg.
I'm guessing Chavoix/St. Joseph was a leg but due to the weather in the area, they had teams drive to Quebec for the remainder of the pitstop. It's as best as I can put it.
Leg 3 = first non-elimination or To-Be-Continued
Leg 4 = F8 boot
Leg 5 = second non-elimination or To-Be-Continued
Leg 6 = F7 boot
Leg 7 = third non-elimination or To-Be-Continued
Leg 8 = F6 boot
Leg 9 = F5 boot
Leg 10 = F4 boot
Leg 11 = Finale
This must be final 5 so then we get our last Jon “lives” during the final 4 leg then finale and they must be following last years schedule of Filming so we might be getting another Victoria Day weekend finale
Question for Peach, or for people with experience lol,
Have we ever had a 3-4 days rest period between legs?
I still think there is a leg between Charlevoix (May 10) and Thunder Bay (May 13) or that Charlevoix was not the pitstop and that there is a second part of that leg that was filmed on the 11 somewhere else
[Leg 9]: it's too early for [Leg 10], given the extra eleventh leg compared to the very first season.
Ha it's funny how it's always the same two teams that were spotted for this leg haha
PitstopWow. Who got the shot of the actual clue?
My spec on the Charlevoix Leg.
I think there is a lot more to this leg than just tasks in Charlevoix.
This train makes several stops between Montmorency & Malbaie (Charlevoix). Jon promised lots of action & daring tasks.In Beaupre, there is a zipline and a via ferrata (guided rapelling) over the canyon.

Baie saint-paul is also known for being a cute town/resort!
Do you know when was the leg Sue? They flew in from Toronto to Quebec city without being seen! Also, what do you think is up with the May 10 sighting for them bringing car backs to the train station and then going to a hotel?
I still think there is a leg between Charlevoix and Thunder Bay or that Charlevoix was not the pitstop and that there is a second part of that leg that was filmed on the 9-10.
Southeast? Maybe Peggy's Cove finally? That's like the most iconically Canadian spot they've never been to, along with CN Tower :P
And yet you see it in the intro of every season.
Oh and before anyone asks about the Windsor next to Wolfville, it's #NotMyWindsor. :funny:

If they took a plane to Toronto, I doubt it will be in the maritimes... they would have went directly
So much for St-John's.... :(

The guy from Thunder Bay Tourism said they've been working with production for three years - this confirms past spec about how closely they work with communities who host legs. They don't just happen, especially when local sponsors become involved.
Guys, this is not a wishlist thread. Revelstoke and Waterloo/Kitchener are last minute replacements for pre-planned international legs.

But do you think it's for every communities? I kind of understand cities like Thunder Bay / Sudbury having to work with them in advance, because it's kinda remote. I feel like maybe the Waterloo Kitchener leg was a last minute replacement.
:jam: Wat is INTLI think it means "international," referring to an international leg (a leg taking place and being run outside of Canada).

Can we not called the state of Mississippi a craphole
where the heck did Mississippi come from? I want to see proof.
It's funny how in the first teams's video, they don't really talk about the 'second chance' aspect of their lives... maybe they decided not to go with the theme anymore?
I was sure they would put it in the title like they did with : Heroes edition.
So far I really like the Sisters! I think the two couples are also going to be interesting to watch!
Pretty sure they casted the most interesting teams and scrapped the theme.
Do we know if 1st boots are Jet & Dave or Nicki & Aisha?No, we don't. At least not yet. We just know that they are, for sure, the first two teams to go.
So much for the short-lived Triple Express Pass.
This is technically a Bitch, but I'd rather not spoil in the Bitch thread, even with the warning.
But I'm happy to see that it appears two of the final 3 are not quitters. So hopefully one of them wins. (Then again, they're still 6 more Legs for them to also quit tasks, so who knows.)
Well we know Dave & Irina aren't in the final 3. That is gonna be such a satisfying elimination, yet I can't help but wonder what happens (they wouldn't seriously chance a penalty then)
At least this breaks an unfortunate 4th place pattern since they started the Face Off. Every year, it's predictably robbed the least athletic of the final 4 of a spot in the finale. You could just look at them and know which is getting eliminated.
So is next leg an EL or are we having our first back to back NEL? (well NEL/KOR)
The first reports of the QC leg was that we had 6 teams, so maybe next leg is KOR :O
That would be a first on TARC to have two legs in a row where no one is out
So next week is Charlevoix, indeed. And apparently they went all the way by train, according to the preview.
Oh boy, is there gonna be a LOT of happy folks on the social media next Tuesday. I can't wait to see how this elimination plays out.
Trivia: Tonight they will break Andy & Tommy's record of the highest averaging team ever eliminated in 4th placeTreasuri & Louisa 2.33 (2-3-1-1-1-5-3-1-4)
Andy & Tommy - 2.64
Dave & Irina - 2.40
Imagine we got it wrong and they are still in LOL
I never saw pictures of the third team... unless I'm wrong there isn't any pics of Sam/Sarah.
But I hope they are gone lol
