Topic: TAR Canada 10: Bitch, Moan & Squeal Thread (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

[BourkieBoy]

Because we know that we're going to need this! 

[BourkieBoy]

Since I started this thread, I may as well give my initial two cents, based on what we know so far 

I'm quite impressed by what I've seen so far! I'm very happy to see Niagara Falls featured again! I'm hoping that we get a full leg there this time, as I've heard the place is pretty incredible!

As for the cast, I'm a little surprised that it isn't an All-Stars season. As we are now in our 10th season, I do agree with a previous poster with regards to Switchbacks (the greatest Switchback I'll be happy to see is going back to some sort of international travel ). Of course, it wouldn't be TAR Canada without our reality crossovers (the Big Brother Canada winner & his Traitors Canada girlfriend). I'm not happy to see the former NHL player being casted (despite being a huge ice hockey fan, go Islanders!), I think those sorts of "celebrities" should be saved for a Celebrity Edition.

However, I'm very happy to see that TAR Canada has finally casted a little person! This is the exact type of diversity producers should be casting for!

In all in, as long as TAR Canada 10 doesn't spend half of their legs in Ontario and British Columbia... the route should be good! (Serously, the more I watch TAR Canada, the more South Park stereotypes I see!  )

Feels somewhat ironic that it took TAR Canada 10 seasons to cast an NHL player.

Last year I casually tweeted Jon about this...I didn't think he was listening lol

[JegoKelvin]

Loved watching TAR Canada. I got hooked watching S.2 onwards. It looks like a stellar cast to me. I have high hopes for this Season

[BourkieBoy]

Being an international viewer, it's good to see a new place being visited on this franchise, aka the Sunshine Coast in BC!

[Maanca]

Whoa... for Manitoba, they're actually going somewhere outside of Winnipeg for the first time?!

Of course it'd be Russell, Jonny's hometown.

[Avid]

Wow .The uturn vote. Hope its compulsory. ITS a great replica of tar 35 

[willzito2018]

2 teams are missing from u turn board
So we have our final nine

[Xoruz]

It's their 10th season. Even on a domestic route, they should put a strong effort into this one

At least they realized that there is more to Manitoba than just Winnipeg.

I have always wished and tweeted that AmazingRace  should do a dance from the crimean region ..it hasn't happened but am happy to see canada has it..The dances from crimean are epic on tiktok 

[Maanca]

My cousins used to live in Elora growing up, it's a very familiar place to me.

I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger was filming there just the other day. Maybe someone will be lucky enough to run into him.

Double uturn and a double pass..The Canadians ain't playing around 

[Joberio]

Double uturn and a double pass..The Canadians ain't playing around 

What is a Pass?

[Avid]

Double uturn and a double pass..The Canadians ain't playing around 

What is a Pass?

Basically  u remain at the board until another team comes ...×2 pass is when two teams have to wait for 2 teams to get a clue be4 they race. Basically it's like allowing to be over taken

[Brannockdevice]

6 teams left and half of them MM...let's hope we get a decent final 3

[Maanca]

This season's already looking like an improvement over last year, as far as domestic routes go. It gets points for having only 2 legs in BC as opposed to 4 consecutively. We've yet to see how the Atlantic portion is, but maybe this will be the year for Labrador? 

2 female teams in the F6

The cast sounds decent overall. We'll find out in July how they stack up.

[willzito2018]

6 teams left and half of them MM...let's hope we get a decent final 3

Probably only 2 of them on top5

Lol, this, and also, the focus on MM teams being present completely ignores the likely strong FF teams still in contention hahaha.

Every time this comes up in these threads it kind of squashes any focus on female racers when the intent is allegedly equal representation.  If the focus is on putting men down to bring women up, that's not equality.  Judging by similar comments in past seasons of bitch and moan threads, it's actually sometimes been a bit misandristic.  Hopefully people aren't boycotting the season if the next couple elims involve women.

[ianthebalance]

Luckily this is a small crowd so if there was any “boycott” from here it wouldn’t affect any of the actual ratings

At least all of the F3 won't be men's teams like season three of this version.  Or season thirty-five of our version.  But I am still worried about having two in it since both appear to be alpha-male teams.

[Avid]

The mascot 🤣..reminds me of todays finale

[halfass09]

EDMONTON!! As a Edmontonian I hope they finally do some justice to the city, the previous 2 visits to the city weren't great.

[willzito2018]

This leg 10 on Edmonton is the finale ?

[Xoruz]

This leg 10 on Edmonton is the finale ?

That’s what stunami heard.

Miramichi confirmed! I saw the teams going to Moncton at the Montreal Airport and they were asking for direction to Miramichi.
I overheard a team say this was leg 9 and that there was 5 teams left, and they were told that next leg was the finale, so it could be a final 4 again this year.

[Avid]

So we  have a winner already

[Joberio]

This season really surprises me!  For the first time ever, multiple women's teams on the final leg?!

It's about time it happened for Canada, even if it did take the final leg turning into an F4 finale.

[Parasparopagraho]

Already the best boot order amongst 2024’s three Anglophone editions (Suomi will be hard pressed to match its inaugural season).

[Joberio]

After actually seeing what the teams look like . . . not a fan of both of the African-Canadian teams seemingly being the first two to go.  I'm sure that their ousters will be perfectly fair, but it just sucks, because we see so few of them cast.  So to know that they're the first two gone?  Wow.

Yeah, but their bios pretty much read like they came into the race for their social media brand. These are often among the first to go in TAR.

Well, I'm not so bummed anymore after seeing how both performed on the first leg.  They're easily the two weakest, worst teams this season, so to be honest, Eva & Trystenne had a mercy killing, and I imagine that Dorothy & Olus will have one, too.

[Maanca]

For the most part, this seems like it'll be a strong cast. A few stood out from episode 1:

-Lauren & Nicole reminded me of Michelle & Jo from TAR Australia, and were pretty much as I expected for that reason. Hopefully the strong start continues.
-Kevin & Gurleen already showing they will resort to villainy. On BBCan, he had a way of finding loopholes in competitions, so the arcade thing is in line for him.
-Brad & Sam are giving Steve & Anna Leigh vibes and I'm all for it. He was known in the NHL for being a "goon", so I could see where she gets the assertiveness.
-Michael & Tyson losing their money at the starting line... clearly not the brightest bulbs.

Of the teams we know are making the F4, I'm making an early call that either Lauren & Nicole or Colin & Matt win this.  Both seem to have the physical and mental/attention-to-detail parts of the race down.  Lauren & Nicole have the edge for being the only one of those four teams to nail their Pit Stop question on the first try.  Taylor & Katie impressed me with their early lead, but gave me doubts when Taylor (or was that Katie?) kept missing the "cooked an omelette" part so many times.  Michael & Tyson are likely the also-ran finalists.  At least that's what I'm getting so far, between the money snafu and struggling so much with the Pit Stop question task.

When I saw teams on the Cornwall leg, Michael & Tyson also gave me the also-ran finalists.
I think Katie and Taylor are a strong team and will surprise us... I think they just got unlucky with that word lol and can bounce back
The twins are also my pick for winners!

Weren't they the team thought to have been out at Regina/Russell and the last surviving team of the leg that apparently claimed Michael & Amari?  Yeah, I can see them having many close calls before they can't have any more on the final leg.

[stunami]

Yeah they were a good 30 mins after the fourth team left the last challenge!
Good for them the father and son were 30 mins + behind haha
