TAR Canada / Re: TARCAN 10 Speculation and Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers
« Last post by jeanyesbc on Today at 12:54:21 AM »Looks like both Colin & Matt and Tyler & Michael made it to Edmonton/the F4. The Tyler streak continues!
That would be good but his name is Tyson, not Tyler

« Last post by RachelLeVega on Today at 12:31:31 AM »I will pop the overall season review in the Squeal thread sometime over the weekend when the dust has settled, but just off tonight's broadcast... 
I saw the episode as cobbled together just as much as the leg design. Fusing two legs of material into an hour-and-a-half slot shouldn't be an issue normally, but when the legs don't have substantial enough tasks, it turns into an effort of trying to fill the pig. I feel like the "point A" to "point D" in the final leg was a blur (specifically the mascot RB to the Arch Street Meeting House) and the edit and the structure of the leg did not give enough time for anyone to process the info/places thrown at us. I will say there were a couple high points in editing during these two legs that could've been highlighted as a moment more than leaving it as a side reaction, 1) Juan & Shane misdriving to a Pat's Select Pizza & Grill in New Jersey and 2) Leticia and Juan overtaking Ricky at the windsurfing Roadblock. As for the finale, it's a very odd structure with one half being modern Philadelphia icons and then suddenly diving straight into Independence Day historical context even with the Finish Line location. I'd rather they had just picked one motif and went with it like Nashville's music-themed leg in the previous shutdown-period season. Seems like the producers really had their eyes set on airing this leg like last season's, in the spring close to 4th of July (35 ended on July 8 ). Overall, very competitive final 3, I've been impressed by them, but it could very well just be the staggered Pit Starts and no real airport equalizers skewing their dominance in their favor. I'll dive more into that in the overall review soon.

The Amazing Race Discussion / Re: TAR Wishlist - locations, routes, twists, teams, tasks & dreams!**NO SPOILERS**
« Last post by ianthebalance on Today at 12:28:00 AM »After tonight's episode, I would like to say that I need or even prefer to see a finale leg that isn't hosted entirely in a large metropolitan area, even a smaller city-town to avoid hometown or transplant advantages as much as possible. I feel like the last time we had some instance of this was TAR27 with Long Island or TAR23 with Juneau. I understand it's not as cost-effective to start somewhere away from an international airport, but it would be awesome to see a city out of left field again or even more frequently.
My hopes:
Santa Fe & Taos, New Mexico
Grand Junction or Aspen, Colorado
Reno, Nevada and Lake Tahoe
Yuma, Arizona to El Centro, California
Monterey, California
Madison, Wisconsin
Panama City Beach, Florida
Dubuque, Iowa
Palm Springs, California (Surprised we haven't had a finale in this area or even Austin or Houston for that matter yet, but I know we've started here.)
El Paso, Texas
Though they would fly into a metropolitan area, I have been hoping for a Phoenix finale in the self driving finale area where they can drive throughout the desert

« Last post by cbacbacba1 on Yesterday at 11:43:47 PM »If we calculate two parts of the megaleg as two separate legs, the racing average of Ricky & Cesar would be 1.5 (18/12), where Marc & Rovilson's would be 1.46 (19/13).To Ricky and Cesar's credit, their 1.45 average placement is best in Amazing race history and it's not really close. Eric and Jeremy's record was 1.75.
They haven't just broken the US record, they are now the top-averaging team worldwide, beating TAR Asia's Marc & Rovilson (1.48)

« Last post by Brannockdevice on Yesterday at 11:13:17 PM »Not sure if it’ll be a factor but the weather here in St. John’s has been pretty foggy and rainy lately. It doesn’t look like that’ll change anytime soon

« Last post by Maanca on Yesterday at 11:11:38 PM »Or since they never went to Alberta, second choice would be Edmonton. Since Calgary was just used last year.
Well that part at least was right 😅
Does this look like the finale or F4? If the latter, I'm still thinking of St. John's as a potential final city, though Edmonton's airport also opens the possibility of the north (if the wildfires burning in Fort McMurray aren't a factor)
