From the looks of it, I think this is gonna be one of the better domestic legs this season.

THIS is every bit the Nova Scotia leg they should have done sooner. Digging into the province's Scottish/Colonial roots in Cape Breton, the heart of it. Halifax last season was very meh.

14-17 is the awesome Cabot Trail I was talking about during filming. This may just be stock, though - that's the western half of the island. We didn't get anything from there.

Detour/U-Turn is at Highland Village Museum in the village of Iona (Dot A), and is highland dancing (my late grandmother did this, btw. We still have her ceremonial sword :) ) or...I'm not entirely sure what the log-and-chain thing is. We have a couple of Cape Bretoners on this board who may know.

ARI task is Fortress of Louisbourg (Dot B). This the task we saw on webcam. Seems the barrels they're rolling through the street are full of gunpowder, which they have to then use to fill and set off a cannon. We also saw sheep run periodically by the camera that day, maybe no connection (or Rita & Yvette's Speed Bump?)

Task, probably Roadblock at Coast Guard College in Sydney (center dot) unknown. Maybe it'll be in the sneak peek.

A lot of mileage on this leg. Each of these locations are like 40 minutes apart.

A couple new scenes from the commercial!

The task at the Coast Guard College is a water search-and-rescue. Looks like a Roadblock indeed

Joel is carrying a pole for the caber toss at the Detour. (It's a Highland Games event where they throw a tapered wooden pole so it lands on its end)

The sheep at the fortress may be involved somehow. They showed the flock with the voiceover "...and wooly"

Could the sheep maybe be the speed bump?

If it is, it's a great idea for a Speed Bump. Animal tasks can be fickle.

Hey guys, this is huge for Cape Breton Island, it's all over the local news and everything, lol. They did a version of the Highland Games in Iona, and apparently from what I heard, there is a possibility that Rita and Yvette may have had to do something at the famous Christmas Island Post Office for their speed bump. If that is true, it is literally on the same highway as The Highland Village, and would be on the way. Either way, the leg looks great, really captured the spirit of what Cape Breton really is!

Claude Nearing of Sydney helped choose those spots as location manager and facilitator for this Amazing Race episode.

Nearing says, with so many people involved, he's relieved there have been no spoilers.

The sneak peek this time was really nothing :P

Just the other teams seeing it was non-elimination, which will be like 2 minutes into the episode

Have reviewed all the fabulous spoilers from our on the ground team. Many thanks to them  and Sue for all the help!

Adding some additional info:

The Frolic & Folk Pub in Iona is where TARC production/teams (??) ate the preceding night (Thurs /19). Believed to have then stayed at Highland Heights Inn in Iona. Highland Village is nearby.

Coast Guard College early AM,
Show content
Speedbump for Sisters, last to leave the College, struggled :(



Pitstop
Show content
at Fortress Louisburg: above a cliff by the sea.  The Men of the Deeps, a singing group composed of ex-coal miners were at the Pit Stop.


Elimination Leg

5/20-21 teams sequestered in Sydney at Cambridge Suites until MN

Departed by Coach Atlantic bus, when we saw teams wandering the streets lol

They really haven't shown anything of the Coast Guard College in the press, which usually means its the least exciting task of the leg.

Ah, so the Speed Bump wasn't at the Christmas Island Post Office like Hockeylova thought. It's a small-town post office famous for getting thousands of mail forwarded there from all around the world, especially near the holidays, just to be marked with the distinctive stamp
