There's a spoiler on TWOP, quoting from someone who works for Air Canada on an airline board, that says the TAR8 racers were flying from Toronto to Montreal yesterday. Which would tie in with Niagara Falls very neatly.

And a finish on a Sunday would fit the traditional filming schedule.
The only thing I find odd (given the rumored problems with production) is the length of time this suggests the filming took. 12/13 legs in 24 days (July 7-31)?
But a finish of filming today would give the post-production folks six-seven weeks to work on the editing of the early legs with the production in the can.
If we can believe all the spoilers, then the entire Race - Family Edition - was filmed on the North American mainland.

Press Release
The Amazing Race: Family Edition Two Hour Premiere Airs September 27th 9/22/05
TEN FAMILIES EMBARK ON THE ULTIMATE FAMILY VACATION WHEN THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING REALITY SERIES "THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION" DEBUTS WITH A SPECIAL 2-HOUR BROADCAST, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK
"Go Mommy Go! We Can Beat Them!" -- Ten families will embark on the ultimate family vacation with one family taking home the $1 million prize when THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION, the three-time Emmy Award-winning reality series, premieres with a special two-hour broadcast, Tuesday, September 27 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.
The picturesque New York skyline emerges as water taxis speed the 10 families across the New York Harbor as they ready themselves for a high-energy race through Manhattan.
Fireworks begin immediately as one family bickers about getting lost in the crowded streets while another team complains of a leg injury.
After completing their first task, families travel to Pennsylvania where they must paddle a rowboat across the Delaware River, the same place where George Washington famously crossed the Delaware during the Revolutionary War.
At the detour, families choose between building a miniature working water mill or pulling a traditional Amish buggy along a 1.5-mile course.
One family has a big scare as their buggy nearly runs over a team member, while another team becomes exhausted pushing their buggy through the countryside.
THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan that pits 10 teams of families against each other in a race around the world for approximately 30 days. At every destination, each family must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination. Families who are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.
Following are the 10 families, listed in no particular order:
TEAM: GODLEWSKI SISTERS Hometown: Des Plaines, Ill.
TEAM: WEAVER FAMILY (WIDOW AND KIDS) Hometown: Ormond Beach, Fla.
TEAM: GAGHAN FAMILY
Hometown: Glastonbury, Conn.
TEAM: BLACK FAMILY
Hometown: Woodbridge, Va.
TEAM: LINZ FAMILY (SIBLINGS)
Hometown: Cincinnati
TEAM: ROGERS FAMILY
Hometown: Shreveport, La.
TEAM: SCHROEDER FAMILY (DAD, STEPMOM AND KIDS)
Hometown: New Orleans
TEAM: BRANSEN FAMILY (DAD AND DAUGHTERS)
Hometown: Park Ridge, Ill.
TEAM: AIELLO FAMILY (FATHER AND SONS-IN-LAW)
Hometown: Mansfield, Mass.
TEAM: PAOLO FAMILY
Hometown: Carmel, N.Y.
RATING: To Be Announced

Who's safe based on spoilers ~
The Gaghans
The Gaghans, who have tow small kids, also choose the buggies. Think they can't hack it? (Hint: Even 9-year-old Carissa runs a seven-minute mile) The kids sing a victory song as they barrel past a stronger team, with mom Tammy effortlessly hauling the buggy. "She's an animal!" van Munster shouts.
The Linz Family
Betting spoiler
The Godlewski Sisters

Do the ]Rodgers & the Schroeders become close ?? As in the Race its self or sequester ?
" we became like family over the course of the race "
Any conflict that may have taken place on the road stayed there, at least where one other family is concerned. The Schroeder family of New Orleans picked the Rogers' house as their refuge after Hurricane Katrina destroyed their home. Now they are building a new house in Shreveport, and the two families are hosting a fund-raiser party for the Red Cross on Sept. 27 -- the night of the premier, Rogers said
The Bransens
The Bransen family dash into Washington Crossing Historic Park in Pennsylvania, the point along the Delaware River where George Washington made his famous crossing. For the first physical challenge
The Weavers & Aiellos
The Weavers arrive and go for the buggies, but later change their minds, the buggies weight 500 pounds. The Aiellos go for the buggies, "Oh, it's brutal" says Matt.
More posted by GMan
From the descriptions and other pretty reliable sightings in Toronto and Montreal it looks like the four Godlewski Sisters make it that far (a team of four girls was spotted in downtown Toronoto) and either the Weavers or Bransens also make it to Montreal (team with adult and three children spotted but not further identified.) Also it looks like the Black Family does not make it to the final five (all white familes supposedly spotted. )
Trouble.. the Paolos?
sounds like the Paolos
The second team looked like an older couple with two teenage sons. The mother looked like her knee was hurting and couldn't really run, but they did all right with the paddling.
Shown lost ,,in trouble .. Misdirection?
vidcaps here
That leaves the Blacks.
The Black Family has the most " in your face time " .. they are in every commericial or promo that I've seen as well as the most articles ..TV Guide /on-line articles ..ETC ..
thoughts ?
revised..whoohoo pretty proud of myself
The Black Family and the Paolo Family are the last to get to the detour.

I just wanted a place to brag. I got my hands on a copy of the premire episode for review.
I'm going to go home and watch it tonight, and feel special for the five days I have before all of you get to watch it, too.

Yes, yes I am.
However, my coworker just told me he'd watched it last night and he's the one who put it on the free table, and they don't reveal which family is Philiminated, however he says you can tell of which familes it might be.

He said the preview tape does not reveal who is eliminated. Sorry that I wasn't clear.

God Lord, the Linz famly is one of the first out of New York City and the first to the sporting good store (if I remember correctly, which I'm sure I am as it was only an hour ago I watched, but I was getting ready for work and this pretty face doesn't come without some effort so I had one eye on the TV), but somehow they end up being on the absolute last teams to get to Washington Crossing in Delaware, enabling even the most inept of teams at this point (The Weavers, who are lost, and the Schroeder family ((Schroeders represent!), who's blindly following them) to get to the crossing first, finish the roadblock, and move on toward Philadelphia, while they're still stopped on the side of the New Jersey turnpike, asking for directions.
As much as I like the Linz family, and really, they're funny and remind me of my own, and as much as I want them to win, they're going to have to trust more in themselves than second guessing, or they're going to get left behind.

The theme song is still there. Phil does the first voice over, as the teams are brough in by water taxi, on Liberty Island.
But somewhere down the pike, someone else does the voice overs about the tasks, and if it's not Phil, I don't listen.
So maybe the crossing the Delaware River task was just a task and not a roadblock. I assumed it was, simply because it was so much more involved than going to the sports store and buying their sleeping bags and tent and getting to the park and setting them up, which, by the way, is where I turned it off to go to work.
I didn't even get to the Detour, so I have no idea how many people hit the pit stop before the tape runs out, like my friend said... so even though the Linz somehow get really, really behind, there's a lot of episode left to go. So they very well might still end up in first.
---
There's one scene very early in the Linz car where the oldest, Nick (the cute one), turns to his sister and says, with captioning help, "Speak. ..." and he's smiling when he does it and looks goofy, and he finishes, "when spoken to."
And she's all, "Oh, no, we're not going to do that, we're not doing that."
It's so cute. It's how my brothers and I behave.
---
And it wasn't 'til just now that I checked CBS's site and learned that the youngest Weaver is not a girl, it's a boy. I thought they were a "Widow and Daughters", but the captioning said "Widow and Kids", and I wanted to know why it didn't say "Daughters", and well, that's why.
---
Oh, sorry. Best I can remember, Phil does a voice over explaining who's on each team at the beginning, with Team Confessionals. But when he addresses them at the starting line, he just calls them "families". Actually, I think he does not address anyone specifically. Afterward, he doesn't do the voice over for the promo tape, so

The tape ends with Familes Weaver, Gaghan, Aiello and Godlewski all on the road after their roadblock, either hopelessly lost or actually close.
The roadblock is the Buggy/Build it in the TV guide thing. Looks like they basically got the same tape I got.
Cassie and Billy sing "She'll be comin' round the moutain" as they pass the Aiellos, the son-in-law team. It's funny.
I can't tell if Cassie is cute or a brat. She even has a lisp. "Travel to the nexst pitsts sstop."
During the buggy challenge, her brother says to their mother, as she's pushing the buggy, "I'm wicked proud of you mom, I wish I could contribute." And Cassie says in response "Get used to it, dork." Sisterly love or a total brat? I'm not sure. Her mother points out that she can run a 7-minute mile, and how many adults can do that? Well, quite a lot. Motherly love? Or annoying?
To mom's credit, she's pulling the whole way, and they're the first to finish the more physical challenge.
As Linz originally run off to the Buggys, Nick yells out, "Muscle out, baybe. Who-ah." To which Alex replies, "It's all about the bi-s and the tri-s something."
Tommy rides with Meagan and farts in the cab. Judging by her laughing, it's not something she's not used to. "So not cool. You're so gross!"
At the end of the tape, Linz is having trouble pushing their buggy. Nick's legs are cramping, and for some reason they're being filmed from a distance. Why do I bring this up? Because Alex has taken off his shirt, and he has some stompers, from what I can tell from a mile away. Stupid film guy.
Mrs. Weaver, the widow whose husband died after being hit by a car on a NASCAR track, is pulling the buggy as they're coming down a hill. And her daughers aren't ready with the brake, and the buggy runs her right over. Lots of screaming, slow motion, and a comerical. Whole confessional about how it reminded the daughters of their father's death. The mother takes it better than they do, as I expected her to do.
Later, Mrs. Weaver, while looking for the pit stop, "Dear Lord, please help us. The Something Family Farm, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Blue Rock Road, please, in Jesus' name, find it."
Phil does at least do the "site of the pitstop for this leg of the race" speech. Just none of the other voice overs.
Is this the first time the first-leg pitstop has been in the U.S.? It stood out that it said "Pennsylvania" in the sign on the Amazing Bathmat.
The tape stops with them taking a breather and the half-way point of the buggy course. They're the last to do the buggy. Everyone else does the building, and are doing it rather fast. The Black Family and the Paolo Family are the last to get to the detour.
Cassie: Gaghan Family, you're team number one.
Mom: Awwww, wouldn't that be sweet.
Cassie: something unintelligable about sweet dreams as the tape fades out and TAR premires Sept. 27 shows up on screen.
But, Alex had his shirt off.
