Topic: TAR CANADA 4 Scheduling

[WindsorSue]

Dropping this here because I didn't know where else to put it:

From the Bell PR July 28: http://www.bellmedia.ca/pr/press/motive-and-the-amazing-race-canada-upcoming-episode-synopses-2/

Looks like no new episode Aug 16th, instead there is a recap show:

"8 p.m. – THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: TOP 20 MOMENTS – SPECIAL EPISODE

THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: TOP 20 MOMENTS counts down the 20 biggest and most exciting moments from the race so far, giving viewers the chance to relive all of the Roadblocks, Detours, tears, laughs and challenges that the Racers encountered. Catch up on the first seven episodes of the hit series and follow the Racers as they struggle and fight their way to the finish line."

In addition, although the PR says "new episode" on Aug 9, all the listings ep descriptions & titles I see say it is "Am I really Operating the Plane?". So I will try to verify.

I am just wondering if they are thinking of pre-empting the episodes due to the Olympics (airing on CBC).

Thanks Sue! I understand a recap show, given their lack of previews and press releases hopefuly the Aug 9 sounds like an error?

Hope no Olympic scheduling issues! They are not airing on CTV right?

[Maanca]

CTV is not Canada's Olympics broadcaster. That's CBC's department.

But I wonder how much of a hit the ratings will take during that time On top of the one it already has from AGT.

[WindsorSue]

I think I said the Olympics were airing on CBC, but I am thinking they don't want to compete.
At least this pushes back the finale episode, which is good news for me cos I thought I would miss the last two episodes while on holiday!!!

[Maanca]

Aw, so the episode I was most eager for, leg 8, gets pushed back a week

The "After the Finish Line" winners videos are great fun to watch

BTW with next leg probably including the 5th elimination, meaning half of the teams of the season, isn't this the point we used to get some sort of "After the Race" special featuring the eliminated teams so far, or has nothing of sorts been announced for this season? Wonder if that is also something out due to the Olympic Games factor.

I think that's what the mid-season special Top 20 Moments is. Chances are they will have eliminated teams on, and I suspect they haven't announced it yet...they are waiting for the next episode & the team eliminated there. They kept mum on S2 like this, when the team eliminated was Rex and Bob.

And, btw still no word on next episode. The PR says there will be a new ep on Tuesday, but there is no title yet and no ep description in any schedule. There is a sneak peek on the site, but NO preview, (which usually quotes the title). Mark Lysakowski tweeted this morning they r just mixing episode 7 (the next episode) today. Sounds like they are behind on a tight schedule...so that recap show will give them some time.

Air Canada is sponsoring the Olympics with the same contest they ran during TARCAN. Both clash in terms of schedule, so maybe they are back next year?

Oh, good catch!
I wouldn't be surprised if they opted to sponsor the Olympics over TARC! Seems to make sense why they would back out this season, and why the original contract was for only 3 years.

Nice find though Sue!

Aww, come on Gamer, how could you not love Mickey and Pete!
Seriously though, the Tims say they didn't keep their cars and chose the cash value instead. So that's interesting, no???

It sounds more like they were offered the cash instead of the cars. But that's only a guess.

I found them a terrible ripoff of BJ & Tyler and I already didn't like BJ & Tyler

[Leafsfan.]

So...ARE we getting a new Ep tomorrow??

You mean today ?

[georgiapeach]

Yeah, I was just coming to fix that!! Are we??

[Leafsfan.]

Yeah, I was just coming to fix that!! Are we??

I believe so

[georgiapeach]

Cant get the CYV schedule for today...

[georgiapeach]

It is odd. The last episode press release is for 8/3.

I don't see the preview on the site, although the bubble sneak peek is there.

If someone could check the schedule for tonight it would be great, It will not open for me.
