Craig and Catherine depart at 8:44 am

Court and Ali depart at 8:57. Ali is excited as she hasn't been east of Ottawa

Brendan and Connor at 8:58

[Leafsfan]

All teams are flying on the same flight from Ottawa via Montreal to Bathurst (I don't understand why the teams weren't moved to Montreal)

When teams land they must make their way to Frostbites Dairy bar for a cone and their next clue.

It just cuts too all teams running into the bar.

Clue: Pack east coast essentials into the truck they are driving. (Looks like lobster traps and chairs). Once all items are secured they will receive their next clue. They will use some of the items in during the leg.

Brendan and Connor finish first.

Clue:RB: Who can think on their feet? Make your way to the town of Caraquet and locate the bar La Brokerie. They must perform a sitting step dance using a chair they packed to get their next clue.

Connor will do the RB

Jessie and Marika second, Jessie will do the RB

Sisters, Craig and Catherine and Court and Ali are shown to finish at the same time.

The clue said COURT and FRANCA must do this RB, and Catherine is doing it for her team.

[Leafsfan]

Bev and Veronica finally finish the RI task. Bev says they left way longer than everyone else.

Jessie and Brendan are practicing this dance and both find it complex.

Catherine says she finds memory tasks hard as they took out the part of the brain that deals with short term memory during her operation

The top 5 teams are all now at the RB

Catherine is going to be the first attempt wow! And she fails easily.  Her memory is shot.

Commercial

[Leafsfan]

Connor and Franca are wrong on their first attempts

Catherine on her second attempt, and she is correct!

Clue: RI: Get Well soon. Drive yourself to the Village Historique Acadien. Once there they must dress into historical clothing including clogs, and fill a barrel of water on the other side of the village, using the tools provided. Once filled they will receive their next clue.

Connor is wrong on his second attempt. Jessie is correct on his first attempt, and they leave in second. In the bg we can see Bev/Veronica have arrived at the RB.

Franca on her fourth attempt gets it! They are in third.

Court messes up on his first attempt.

Craig and Catherine onto the water task, Jessie and Marika have arrived there.

Teams must make their way to Cielo (a dome camping resort) for both tasks.

Oyster Shuck: Shuck 2 dozen oysters and plate them exactly like the example
Clean and Tuck: Clean a Dome and replicate the example room.

Craig and Catherine choose to do Oysters.

Both teams will do the Oysters task.

The sisters beat Bev and Veronica to the restaurant for the Oyster task.

Craig and Catherine get a check. They are not correct.

Brendan and Connor finish the SB and are onto the water task, looks like Court and Ali are on their last trip. They will also do Oyster shuck.

Brendan and Connor already know how to shuck, so they skip the tutorial.

[Leafsfan]

Jessie realizes their error (the bathrobe is not tied correctly). They get a check and are correct. They are in fourth.

Brendan and Connor get another check and are wrong.

Court and Ali get a check and are correct! So do Brendan and Connor. Another footrace looms between the two teams.

[Leafsfan]

Jessie and Marika check in fourth.

B and C decide to take a different route !

Commercial as it shows both teams going in different directions.

We are back in and wow, Brendan and Connor check in fifth! That was close.

Court and Ali are last. They have been eliminated from the race.

[Leafsfan]

Next time:

Race car task, snorkeling in Tobermory.

Snooker Faceoff, *shrugs*

A military obstacle course challenge. Marika crying.

[stunami]

I feel like this was a good leg! Lots of moving around!
Funny how Craig and Catherine won legs with a hard dancing challenge. Hope for them there is more coming haha

[NumfarPTB]

This was a really good leg, with interesting challenges and sights.

Show content

Even more, fun, after Australia latest got cut short due to blizzard.

I knew whoever chose the Clean & Tuck would have trouble. These attention to detail challenges are always troublesome.
Catherine & Craig somewhat dominated this leg, but it was fun seeing them surging ahead.
While this time around it was fun watching Franella and Bev/Veronica racing so tight against each together, swapping positions.  Beverly & veronica, had to overcome leaving last at the initial ARI, are were able to climb as far as second.
Brendan & Connor surviving the speed bump, despite spending the entire leg on the back of the pack was quite exciting.

Sad to see Court & Ali go, I was finally warming up to them.
And with the preview and all the talk of two remaining legs, final 4 seems to be confirmed.

[Xoruz]

Between Marty on BBCAN and now this, Canadian reality TV is going all in on Acadia.

We got a really enjoyable leg for our first time in Acadia. With the finish in sight, seems like teams are realizing that only one of them can win. We got one of the harder recent dance tasks, and I loved side comments from instructor. The village task was a case of brute force. Both Detours involved attention to detail, but it's not a surprise more people chose oysters.

Show content

Court & Ali were a nice pair, and it was surprising how far they got.

[Parasparopagraho]

Au contraire, this was the second Acadian visit - the first was New Brunswick's debut, i.e. the penultimate episode of TARCAN2 featuring the Bay of Fundy.
