Kelowna seems strange, especially if there's only 1 available flight...

For what it's worth, Ben Mulroney (@BenMulroney1976) has been tweeting today, so I think it's unlikely he's the host.

Jon Montgomery (@jrmonty12) hasn't tweeted in a few days.

The host has dark blonde hair. Ben has black so highly doubtful

OK. I was just investigating the leading candidates around here. The only picture I saw of the host was low resolution and off color. I tried to blow it up and lighten it and couldn't tell much more. It almost looked red to me and he might have a stubbly beard. That could match Jon Montgomery, but I question if they would have a host with limited TV experience. I'm not Canadian though and i don't know what Jon might have done in the past.

From witnessing the 24/7 coverage of the Olympics in 2010, I can tell Montgomery was a natural in front of the camera. He has been interviewed hundreds of times so that might give him some experience.

Teams were driving the spacious Chevrolet Sparc! 2LT model I believe.
884 L of luggage volume!

So it has started? Not near as exciting as TAR USA. But if they are coming to Vancouver, I will keep my eyes open.

That distant picture of the host definitely could be John Montgomery and I think that would be a great choice for the show.

And team 'Body Break'? that is kind of a let down.

Teams spotted this morning in Kelowna airport. I'm guessing on their way to Calgary or maybe back to Vancouver

Since the teams have been spotted in Vancouver this morning, these were the available flights from Kelowna that could've been taken:
