Finally managed to watch the episode  :funny: :lol:

Wow! This was my favorite TAR Canada episode in a long time! I personally think that the reason it is so great, is because the leg was done in the rain and the majority of it was done in dusk - I thought the scenery was beautiful! Nice little throwback to the very first season, with transporting the teams to the Starting Line via high-speed jet boat and of course, starting the Race in the very same location as the inaugural location.

Let's get into the tasks - what a way to start the race with that Roadblock rappelling down the Horseshoe Falls! I also liked the idea that you couldn't go too fast down the falls and miss the clue, otherwise, you'd have to go back up to the top and try again (and possibly falling to last due to there being limited spots). Then, straight onto the Detour at Clifton Hill - this place is now on my bucket list if I ever go to Canada! The amusement centre looked amazing! Game Time was definitely the easier choice (props to Kevin for playing the villain and hogging all of the balls on that pin machine - about time that we got another "villain" team  :lol:). Credit to the "tourists" standing outside the Niagara SkyWheel having to hearing all of the team's spiels in Show Time (I laughed so hard when Taylor & Katie kept saying fried omelets instead of cooked omelets  :lol:)

I did think that the haunted house task was easily the worst task of the leg (I actually laughed at the patheticness of the whole going through the house thing) and I found the memorizing of the colour combination task too easy (lighting up Niagara Falls with the colors however, was nothing short of incredible) and the surprise quiz question at the Pit Stop was a unique task. Not too sure about The Assist twist this season, I think I preferred how The Assist worked last season (with each team getting it and then choosing to use it on one task)

In regards to the teams, I think I like all of them so far! Micheal & Tyson losing all of their leg money at the Starting Line was hilarious, but there's definitely a few teams who aren't "Race fit" (I can't see Dorothy & Olus lasting for much longer, based on Dorothy's fitness performance on this leg)

Overall, this leg was incredible! I do think next week's leg definitely won't be as awesome, but we'll wait, watch & see! :)
