Of the Canadian legs, I have to say I'm looking forward to the Haida Gwaii/Prince Rupert leg the most.

Of all the BC legs, the Race had never yet touched the Great Bear Rainforest (yes, by definition that whole area is a rainforest, so the scenery varies from elsewhere in the province)

I just don't know why the Canadian season just can't be like the American and all other seasons and travel overseas! I'm sorry Canadains and I've only watched the first season, but I HATED it! Please TARC, consider this and travel overseas on EVERY leg and only start and finish in Canada!  :funny:

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

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

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

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

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

Could explain why TARC's routes are mainly focused on Canada...

We have Mother/Daughter, Father/Daughter and Father/Son teams. I wish we had a Mother/Son team to complete the parent-child teams. A Cormac & Nicole 2.0 would be an amazing addition to the awesome cast

Promoting the show is almost non-existent especially dissappointing with this stellar cast.

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

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

I know ;_____;

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

Expanding on gamerfan's comment in the Wishlist thread

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

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

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

I could say similar about the casting, too.

I agree it would have had to been International right from the start. I think they cornered themselves in S1 by promoting it as a LOVE LETTER to CANADA. If I remember correctly, there were far more people complaining about it not leaving Canada. Now it looks like they're stuck and can't go back on it.

Maybe as the seasons go they have can have more than 4 international legs and increase per season?

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

I've learned a lot of Canada from watching this show but aren't  they going to run out of places sooner or later before they start reusing locations?
I would prefer more international legs since the quality is better than US. (way better now)

Well there is of course another country yet to come this season. And it being one the US race has never been to makes me look forward to it even more than Vietnam :D

Re: The ratings. You know why? It's on at the same time as America's Got Talent. But the first two episodes still got #1 for the week barely.

When you are up against tough competition, you promote your show MORE not LESS.  This lack of publicity is mystifying.

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

This did not go over well with the public.
