[Granth]

That was a lot better than the first visit to the Peg.

[Realityfan01]

That was a lot better than the first visit to the Peg.

Definitely agree

[G.B.]

A sports-related Face Off? Wow, so unbelievable. Shocking. Did not expect that at all

[Xoruz]

That was a lot better than the first visit to the Peg.

Disagree. Thought that season two's visit was better.

[Granth]

How so?

The darts F-O was nowhere near as egregious as that karaoke RB.

[BourkieBoy]

This leg was so much better than Season 2's <3333333333333

Another non-elimination leg? Geez, they're using em up so quickly! 

[NumfarPTB]

With this being leg 7, with one 1 previous Nom-Elim and 1 previous KOR, gotta assume this might be the last Non-Elim of the Season, right? As there are 6 teams left, and only 4 legs remaining in the race.

It always fascinates me when teams struggle in the Face-Off. At least there were another task after the face-off, and it was not the last thing in the leg. F-O>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>∞>>>>>>H2H.

It was interesting that half teams chose Ballet detour, and the other half took the delivery detour. But both delivery destinations were the same for all teams doing delivery, right? Kinda wished the challenge was designed for more delivery options.

The Magic RB was weird, but Martina performing that made me so giddy.

[Maanca]

It was an alright episode. Definitely subpar to the first Winnipeg visit (the museum was the same one used as that one's Pit Stop, but I believe it was still under construction then), but better than last week.

Nancy & Mellisa were a surprise. This is the first time the Face Off hasn't dinged the predictably weak team. I would have thought Courtney & Adam or Martina & Phil.

Actually kind of a letdown that Taylor was the only guy we got to see do ballet

Also: Sorry, Fossil! I think I might be out of the prediction game. My old modem died yesterday (luckily, RIGHT after the ISP mailed an updated model. So I'm already back online as of this morning) and I missed the deadline

[WindsorSue]

How so?

The darts F-O was nowhere near as egregious as that karaoke RB.

NOOOOPE, sorry!!! S2's leg was a classic! The 5 hole, the perogies, Rex & Bob thinking they were safe but finally being eliminated? Then Rex dancing with the greeter! Can't get any better than that!

Which reminds me  , we haven't had any team taking a penalty yet, have we?

Oh my i just realized no team has taken a penalty except if you count the face off penalty 

[Musicon]

The three express passes reduced the possibility of penalties, and there may not have been many tasks that have been so hard as to induce them.

This leg was really lifted by the magician task, the various mishaps ended up creating more humour than you might expect.  Seeing one of the watching children get involved was good as well.

The museum task was a decent location and entailed enough running and memorisation to make it interesting, obviously it was meant to fit the theme of the season too.  I didn't like teams working together though.

The delivery task was obviously to promote the company and they seemed to have to deliver to the same people.  The Swan Lake task was probably not that hard.

I had a feeling it would be a non-elimination when I saw the darts face off near the end which meant one team would obviously be lagging.  I never really thought of darts as being particularly Canadian, though looking it up John Part has done well.  They defined bullseye as being both the outer and inner circle.

The splitting of teams at the start with the planes didn't turn out as quite as important as made out, though I would have liked a task before the split.

[Xoruz]

Leg 7

I thought that this leg was alright though I stand by that season two's visit was better. My main complaint is with the Face Off. The problem I have with the Face Off on TARC is that it pretty much determines the final order 30 minutes into the episode. Since the Face Off task usually takes a while to complete, it's hard for teams in the back to catch up. There have only been a handful of times that team positions have shaken up during the subsequent task after the Face Off. That's why I don't mind the H2H at the end of the leg on TAR US. The magic task did give Nancy & Mellisa a chance to catch up, but there was no way anyone was going to pass Taylor & Courtney. This episode did a better job suggesting a close result unlike the Corner Brook epsiode, and the Face Off worked for me this leg since it was paired with a NEL.

Courtney & Adam's $0 parking ticket 
-Is that crazy? -No. 
Martina the Magician 
Adam's disappearance and then Courtney & Adam disappearing 
The magician's look after Dylan's balloon deflated at his feet 

Human rights: It was a difficult task to start the leg, and it did fit well with the theme.
Tights: The ballet wasn't too difficult.
Bites: Seemed to be much harder than the ballet. I'm guessing Fran had a good birthday. 
Darts: The darts just seemed random when combined with the Canadian Legion and not the most thrilling.
Magic: Surprisingly the best task of the leg. I had a lot of fun watching it.

How so?

The darts F-O was nowhere near as egregious as that karaoke RB.

My thoughts are pretty much the same as Maanca and WindsorSue. Courtney & Adam and Martina & Phil are my main sources of entertainment unlike season two where nearly every team contributed. Also, the singing was way more fun to watch. Ultimately, I found season two's visit more memorable and more unpredictable, but I still think that this episode was fine.

3/5

[Gra1162]

Am i the only one that thinks  leanne and mar has a crush on Taylor 

[BourkieBoy]

Also, why is EVERY, SINGLE, Face-Off a sporting task?

Yes, I do love every major sport in the world, but I don't need to see EVERY Face-Off being a sport task! 

[WindsorSue]

Yes, I do love every major sport in the world, but I don't need to see EVERY Face-Off being a sport task! 

Perhaps the very name suggests it would be a sporting task? It's meant to be a head-to-head competition, so at the very least it could be a game/video game of some sort. I suppose they could do a comp style Face-Off, but that may be seen as too Big Brother-ish.

[violetb1911]

This leg wasn't that bad tbh

IMO they should've replaced the skip the dishes detour to an ARI and made the human right quotes task the other side of the detour. Ballet could've been made more difficult, and the face-off was pretty okay-ish I guess. The roadblock was so random and easy but watching Dylan, Adam, Martina and Leanne struggle made it pretty watchable

You could hear Nancy's voice choke up after the face off, whether it was a bad throat or just because she feared elimination, her voice was visibly different. I still can't fathom the fact that Nancy is the oldest contestant on the season, and that she and Mellisa have an age gap of 12 years. Still, I find them a fun team, so go Nancy & Mel go !!
 
Fingers crossed that P.E.I doesn't have a dancing task. The leg preview looks promising, so here's to hoping it won't let me down
