This thread is the WORKZONE of our spoilers.This is where ALL the spoiler discussion of the TARC9 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread. It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean.
As always, per RFF's practices, we do not spoil the start location (if known) or any teams until it is believed that the teams are safely underway. We would never want to put a team in jeopardy or cause them distress or interfere with the actual running of the race. Info on future legs may also occasionally be protected for those reasons. But if you have info to share beforehand , we would love to know, so please PM or email me! Spoilers are treasured!
This thread will be opened once the race is beginning. NO POSTING UNTIL WE HAVE LIVE SIGHTINGS PLEASE.Thanks everyone! Likely early this week.

Anybody know what P&M is from that guy's tweet?

Apparently they're in Winnipeg during a public service strike.

Don't cross any picket lines @AmazingRaceCDA and we'll help you get to your destination
There is a public service strike in Canada right now. I wonder if this implies the airport?
-
Looks like there's a team with an amputee
Looks an Indian MF in highlighter yellow
FF in Black/Orange
MF - Male is Amputee
And Team in Blue/Red

With all due respect, there's nowhere else in MB they could've even held a Starting Line.
Anyhow, here's to TARCAN9 evading this strike.
-
Do historic site and national park workers fall under PSAC? You know how TARCan loves those kinds of places, so they're what came to mind,
-

Anyhow, here's to TARCAN9 evading this strike.
It's nationwide but it likely won't impact TARC.
Nearly a third of Canada’s federal workers walked off the job Wednesday morning in one of the largest strikes in the country’s history.
The union representing more than 155,000 government employees says it called the nationwide strike to demand higher pay and clarity on work from home provisions, among other issues.
Canadians can expect disruptions on a variety of services, including passport applications and tax returns. Essential services will remain in place.

Au contraire, at least until a more reliable source such as BBC or NPR confirms matters.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65325863
More than 155,000 federal workers in Canada have gone on strike, marking the biggest action of its kind in the country in more than three decades.
The strike comes after the union for federal workers failed to reach an agreement with the government on issues related to wages and work-from-home.
It is expected to affect multiple government services, from tax filings to passport renewals.
Talks covers two main groups of federal workers - 120,000 workers under Canada's Treasury Board and some 35,000 working for the tax agency.
-
Redaction: Wonders never cease.
-
If wonder if they are following the pattern of season 6-8 by having the first leg and starting line in the same city: Winnipeg and ? X,MB
or if we are going the S7 route and have them fly somewhere else today.
-
It would be hella impressive if teams flew to either Thompson or Churchill to complete the TARCAN9 premiere.
-
Well if they finish the leg in Winnipeg, maybe they flew in this morning from either Thompson or Churchill!
-
Eh, neither the racers nor the production crew were seen in the vicinity of Armstrong-Richardson Airport, so no.
-
Both previous visits to Manitoba were only Winnipeg, there's more to the province.
Maybe this is finally the year they go elsewhere? (such as Churchill, or even Brandon)
-
The province of MB getting skipped for the rest of the reason is fine provided that Labrador proper gets its debut (lest Race Across the World 3 somehow omit it in the coming weeks).
-
Agree with you on that. Labrador is a major oversight after 9 seasons, lol.
-
Leg 1 will be continuing in Calgary
This is assuming teams were divided between two flights.
Of the two likely used flights, the first flight became the second flight after it was delayed for 2 hours.

Seriously, they can skip the rest of the Maritimes as long as Happy Valley - Goose Bay gets its overdue maiden voyage.
Anyhow, they really ought to have done Grande Prairie instead of this Calgarian redux.
-
So if the flights landed in Calgary at 6:34 and 6:50, would the leg still be going on? It’s almost 9 now. I’m in Calgary so it’s pretty wild that the race is happening a few kilometres away right now

I don't believe the teams have even arrived to the Olympic Plaza yet based on what I'm seeing so I believe the race is still happening.

OP said that the teams were set to arrive at the plaza around 8 PM.

The footage of Jon filming the drum circle task looked like where Mayor Nenshi told the CAN4 teams to "Be Part of the Energy".
-
Was Jon in Calgary before the Air Canada and Westjet flight arrived? (around 18h00?)
If so, if I look at next friday's schedule (which should be the same as today) the latest option he could take was a West jet flight leaving at Noon.
So he filmed the starting line and then went directly to the airport I guess. We had teams spotted around 14h00.
Could this mean that the starting line was outside Winnipeg and that teams had to drive in to Winnipeg for a task or two before going to the airport?
Or the starting line was before 10h00 (giving time for John to be at the airport for 90 minutes before his flight) and teams had for at least 3-4 hours of task in Winnipeg?
I feel like the most logical thing is that they filmed the starting line 1h away from Winnipeg (Maybe the shore of Lake Manitoba or lake Winnipeg) and then teams had to head out to Winnipeg for 1-2 tasks (Art gallery in Saint-Boniface?) while Jon drove directly to the airport.
-
Also regarding the new videos on facebook,
I think the order of arrival was:
- M-F with red shirts and yellow beanie
- Ben & Anwar (we know they were second for sure)
- Fluo M-M (I think I hear in the video give it up for Jazz?)
- The Double amputee M-F (they were behind team 2 and 3 in the lineup)
Now where is the female team that were spotted at the Calgary airport at the same time as Ben and Anwar??
-
The serving task might be pancakes related. Spec.
-
The serving task might be pancakes related. Spec.
The person on Twitter who I linked in the live sightings thread mentioned pancake breakfast tables being set up
-
Speculation:
After landing in Calgary, there was a Roadblock (or some other task) at the Central Library and then the drum circle and pancakes were a Detour.
-
so to recap Calgary:
drums:
Ben & Anwar
M/M in flourescent (Derek & Jas?)
M amputee/F (Tyler & Kayleen?)
M/F black & red with yellow toques
pancakes:
Eddie & Allison
F/F in black
F/F black & orange (Gisele & Gail?)
M blue/F purple (Patrick & Mackenzie?)
M/F in black with light blue toques
missing:
?/? blue with red shorts seen in Winnipeg
-
Okay in that repelling video I see Red shorts, Joel (Red/Yellow beanie team), and Gail (orange team). Anyone else?
-
looks like Tyler is rapelling
-
Base on season 8-7-6, do we usually have two legs back to back the first two days?
Could this be the end of leg 1?
-
Teams spotted this morning doing some sort of repel down a building task. I think I see the Wrestlers and the Blue team with red shorts (someone correct me if I'm wrong or if you see anyone else).
Video: https://streamable.com/iwdg29

Asking Xoruz.
Are we sure this is today? They're rappelling down the Central Library.
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0453205,-114.0544198,3a,75y,164.04h,88.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sEKFS4gso0u8KJ8d6g-2juw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-US
-
Oh it could be yesterday. The guy posted it an hour ago tho. If it is the Central Library, then that's probably yesterday.
-
Rappel RB, Drum/Pancake detour? The Winnipeg task must have led them to finding their next destination (Calgary).
-
So to recap our leg 1:
Starting line: Somewhere in Manitoba, possible in St-Boniface?
Teams spotted going to Main & Portage (Picture of a Gisele & Gail right in front of the Human rights Museum posted at 13h02 local time in Winnipeg)
Task involving the Winnipeg Art Gallery
(Eddie and Allison spotted around 13h50 + M/F in Blue & Purple spotted on Portage & Memorial, 100 m away from the Art Gallery + team blue with red shorts seen walking on Memorial right in front of the Museum)
Jon was spotted at the circle drum task before 6H49 pm (this was posted at that time, which means he arrived before that) He probably took the West Jet flight leaving at Noon, and arriving at 13h00 ish
Teams fly to Calgary around 16-17h (the Westjet flight was delayed 1h45, do we need if teams only use Aircan?)
The Air Canada flight left at 17h36 and arrived at 18h34
West Jet left late at 17h42 and arrived at 18h50
Some teams spotted at Calgary airport (posted here around 20h50) going to Central Library
Roadblock : Repel down the central library
Detour: Pancake or Drum (Dixie said they showed up around 21h30)
Pitstop somewhere (close to downtown I imagine)
-
Okay in that repelling video I see Red shorts, Joel (Red/Yellow beanie team), and Gail (orange team). Anyone else?
Tyler repelling
in crowd: Kayleen (behind Joel) & either Ben or Anwar (beside red shorts)
-
Yeah, I think that the rappelling is at the library and was probably from yesterday. I feel like they have a day’s break in between legs usually. The leg must have ended pretty late last night, they probably wouldn’t be out again like 12 hours later.
-
More teams at the Calgary airport
From iamsarahruiter on Instagram
If they are actually using gate C53, that's a flight to Vancouver.
https://www.yyc.com/en-us/travellerinfo/flightinformation/departureguide.aspx?location=D&flightId=20230424WS105D
-
Since TARCAN has never had any of its first legs be NELs, it's reasonable to say that the premiere boot was neither Alison/Eddie nor Jas/Derek.
-
Had to look up where Smithers, BC is. Northwest BC, halfway between Prince Rupert (season 4) and Prince George. That's a "middle of nowhere" location for sure :P
-
Not even the current season of Race Across the World visited it during its first three episodes across the nation's westernmost reaches!
-
Smithers has Hudson Bay Mountain, alpine man statue with horn on main street, Hamhuis St (named after hockey player), footbridge over the Bulkley River in the middle of nowhere. Yes, I have been there
-
Teams have landed in Smithers. Be on the look out for any sightings (if there will be any, who knows since Smithers is such a small town in the middle of nowhere)
-
Someone mentioned under the Facebook post linked below that The Amazing Race was filming at the Peace Bridge in Calgary on Friday. Could that have been the pit stop?
https://www.facebook.com/100044262167712/posts/776098023875596/?mibextid=cr9u03
-
I just blogged about how I fully expected Smithers to be the next city in northern BC to debut on TAR Canada. I only predicted Smithers because there are direct flights in and out of Vancouver. The Smithers airport very rarely flies in and out of any other airport.
That means they have to fly to Vancouver whenever they leave Smithers. I assume Production will want to use that opportunity to film Leg 3 in or around Vancouver. It's too convenient of an opportunity to pass up. Since they just used Richmond in the finale, I would put money on them using White Rock or Abbotsford for Leg 3. I'd lean more towards Abbotsford as it is a fairly big city and they have their own airport which goes to a few different towns.

Probably. There is nothing to do there :lol:
-
Based on that photo of the sausage task only having that one female on it, I think that might've been the Roadblock.
-

Called it.
-
Tarstorian is right. Wherever they go next, it's going to be through Vancouver because that's the only place Smithers airport flies. Too bad, it's a good location geographically to jump to the territories.
-
https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=974770403866072&set=a.772645554078559
Jas/Derek and another team (Tyler and Kayleen?)
Someone mentioned in a Facebook comment earlier about an egg carton task so that looks like that.
-
Its not looking good for FF teams
Maybe one of them has already out
-
Remember Covid of last season - teams came back, as well as eliminated teams
-
https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=974770403866072&set=a.772645554078559
Jas/Derek and another team (Tyler and Kayleen?)
Actually I believe that is the unidentified F/F team. The backpack on the ground next to her more closely matches them and Kayleen's backpack is black.
-
So the first team out is either: Gisele & Gail or Team Blue with red shorts (Possibly Kimora Amour and Son)
Or maybe M/F in light blue beanies if that blonde person wasn't the female from that team
-
Whoever it is would still be in contention for "revival" a la Jully/Kathy, eh?
-
From that video at the pit stop, I think I can hear Jon say "there's been a lot of lessons learned today, but if you could take away one thing, NEVER-"
-
Not looking good for our wrestling girls... lol
What was confusing is that we probably got the last place teams in video first, so it looked like they were in first (Eddie and Allison and the girls) but were probably last
There is a digital clock in some of the shots so this is what we can tell:
Team MF light blue beanie was there at 20h34 They were first, looks like they even got there before the drum circle task began around 9.
At 21h10 we can see in a video: FF redhead-blonde team, Eddie & Allison, M/F in Blue & Purple/Pink
Then at 21hX2 (looks like 22 or 32) we have Blue & Purple/Pink, Eddie & Allison and Gisele and Gail
There is also a picture where it looks like there is only Gisele and Gail left
So....
-
Not looking good for our wrestling girls... lol
I don't think there's any reason to believe that they should be singled out. We didn't see the Blue/Red team at all yesterday. I'm not even sure if we saw Tyler and Kayleen yesterday (they might be in that airport photo but it's hard to tell).
-

I know for sure! No spotted doesn't mean eliminated. But the way we see the Blue-Red team at the first pitstop, it didn't look like they were eliminated (but you never know!)
-

I don't know. The way Jon said "there's been a lot of lessons learned today, but if you could take away one thing" could've been something he'd say to an eliminated team, and we know for certain that Jas and Derek weren't eliminated.
-
If the wrestler-ladies did bungle the premiere, then so much for following in the footsteps of either Lori/Bolo or Brooke/Robbie - instead emulating Misa/Maiya.
-
Nice, the Double One-Way is back this year! It was an interesting twist on the U-Turn.
-
Yay!! I’m glad the one way is back it’s a fun twist that doesn’t put a team out of it like a u-turn
-
Here's to last season's "wannabe-Yield" Pass twist being gone for good.
-
Well, they shouldn't have to do that if nobody gets knocked out by Covid. We can hope.
-
Yay!! I’m glad the one way is back it’s a fun twist that doesn’t put a team out of it like a u-turn
Unless some of the TARCAN9 teams try to burn it Twinnie-style.
-
It's must be hard to get out of Smithers with only one flight to Vancouver daily
Jazz 8460 leaves 3:20pm, arrives in YVR 4:51pm
Will they leave today or Wednesday?
-
I doubt they leave tonight (it seems like they are going for a day in between legs). :duno:
-
I also wouldn’t count out a bus to Prince Rupert with a Haida Gwaii leg maybe
-
Wed 3:30pm flight Smithers to Vancouver. Too hard to tell if it is TARC
-
Would someone have tested positive by now?
-
Would someone have tested positive by now?
That's what I wondered. We should have seen something in the Vancouver region.

Not if they went to a remote, nature-filled area.
-
This may be a bit outside the box, but remember back in Season 5 how they flew from Castlegar to Vancouver, went to a travel agency in Richmond, and then flew to Beijing?
Maybe we have a situation like that? Maybe we are missing them since they aren't even in Canada?
-
I don't think they're leaving the country anymore. The last 2 seasons were an uptick in ratings, the best since Season 4. Which gives the producers validation that this is how the audience wants it from now on.

I thought the same thing.

I also have a feeling that they are not in Canada at the moment

They are 100% in Canada :tup:

Possibly sighting?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/EsquimaltResidents/permalink/10168274371965529/?mibextid=S66gvF
-
Esquimalt is the base where they did the rescue task in Season 2. If it's them, it sounds like from the commenters that the picketers could cause them trouble in certain places.
-
So the leg on Vancouver Island is immediately after a NEL.
-
So Esquimalt is going on now, it's not Leg 3?
-
So Esquimalt is going on now, it's not Leg 3?
Leg 4.
-
Teams landed in Vancouver on Wednesday in the late afternoon. So, they probably went to a signup board (charter buses?), had an overnight rest, and did Leg 3 in the mountains on Thursday.
-
Since the route is avoiding a zig-zag pattern across the nation, then Leg 5 might be in either the Yukon or Saskatchewan with an outside chance for the Northwest Territories.
-
A tip for looking up sightings in the future, with Race Across the World airing right now and it taking place in Canada, there's a chance that some people could mistake TAR with Race Across the World so looking up key words for that could help in later legs
-
^
Incidentally, RatW3 will air its finale around the time that TARCAN9 wraps up filming.
-
Wonder where their Ontario legs will feature this year. They did Kitchener (formerly known as Berlin before WWII) in season 7, London in season 8. To complete this "European trifecta", maybe this year they'll visit Paris.
It's a small town near where I grew up. There's a couple landmarks referencing its significantly larger namesake.
-
Occam's Razor would sooner suggest Windsor as the largest city yet to be visited by TARCAN.
-
Maybe we'll get both lol. If their plan for Ontario is to follow a main artery like recent seasons, then Paris isn't really out of the way. They could also hit Brantford next door (hometown of Wayne Gretzky, and where Bell supposedly invented the telephone)
-
The Twitter user that saw the Purple team said that they were in a coffee shop for only about five minutes. Asking for directions maybe?
-
Was that today?
If so does this mean 2 legs around Victoria? Or they were leaving and starting leg 5?
-

It was today (about 30 to 45 minutes ago) but I think they're just going to the airport but I could be wrong. We'll need more sightings to know for sure.
-
Maybe it is a full leg in Langford? This was posted 5 hours ago
https://www.facebook.com/100002716759329/posts/5522301771203660/?mibextid=cr9u03
-
So four consecutive episodes in BC...?
Leg 1: Calgary via Winnipeg
Leg 2: Smithers
Leg 3: Squamish?
Leg 4: Victoria (+ Esquimalt and Langford?)
Leg 5: Tofino
-

Honestly, I think that we have something wrong, I can't imagine more than three consecutive BC legs.
Also, BC seems to be there go-to for backup legs when plans fall through, so I feel like we might have had a cancelled international destination or visit to one of the territories.
-
They filmed in Esquimalt yesterday, right? There's a chance it could have been one of those legs with a HOO in the middle, then they drove to Tofino.
-
I'm pretty sure they filmed in Esquimalt on the 29th and then began this leg yesterday with them driving to Hotel Zed in Tofino where there was either a sign up board or a HOO for the rest of the leg to be ran today.
-
BC and Ontario are known for the best subsidies in the Canadian film industry. I am assuming the former (and possibly latter) opened up the cheque book to for more legs. Always follow the $

Yeah, that's true. The Vancouver region's basically "Hollywood North"
-
The guy with the pit stop video said he saw two women check in to the pit stop after Kat & Tyler. I assume that's the redhead/blonde team but he said they had hats on so he couldn't see the hair color. He said they looked defeated but if I heard Jon correctly say "team number 3" to Kat & Tyler in that video then I don't think they could've been eliminated.
-
They're going somewhere to Tofino?
Update: in the comments she said they're going to "Hotel Z" in Tofino
https://www.facebook.com/100070168605253/posts/521847436830872/?mibextid=cr9u03
This woman said that the team that asked her for directions last night were two men in florescent yellow (Jas and Derek)
-
What are the chances we have a MegaLeg for leg 3?
Leg 2 in Smithers
Leg 3A in Squamish(?)
Leg 3B in Greater Victoria
Leg 4 in Tofino
-
If this was the case, it would probably be the 2 Vancouver Island that would be the megaleg
-
Let's b real ,this would be the first time 4 a mega leg in canada...
-
A dive challenge at the same beach as the pit stop sounds like that was probably the final task for the leg
-
Ben/Anwar safe up to Leg 4.
-
Let's b real ,this would be the first time 4 a mega leg in canada...
Season 7, Leg 9 essentially was a Megaleg lol
10 hour train from Quebec City to Toronto
Task
Hours of Operation
17 hour bus from Toronto to Thunder Bay
Rest of leg
This doesn't cover nearly the distance.
-
A MegaLeg is merely a glorified/rebranded/etc. To-Be-Continued round.

That's a very good point, looking back at TARC7's timeline, the Charlevoix leg took place on May 10, it was keep on racing. they slept in Quebec city, took on the train on May 11, arrived in Toronto that evening. Left on the 12th for the 17h bus and then arrived and had the leg on May 13th.
Here is what we know for the Vancouver Island parts:
April 26th: Leg 3 is happening, teams arrive in Vancouver and finish in Whistler. I don't know if we can date the video from the Whistler pitstart...If it's the 28th, then that means that we probably have 2 legs on Vancouver Island.
April 29th: Filming (maybe b-roll) in Esquimalt
April 30th: Filming in Victoria, someone said they were going to Tofino
May 1: Pitstop in Tofino
So it's possible that this is all just leg 4:
Filmed April 30th- May 1 with a long bus ride in between, and that April 29th was just Jon filming b-roll footage.
No teams were spotted on the 29th I think.
I just don't want to believe it's four bc legs in a row lol

Jon filmed B-roll at the castle on the 28th (per the guy on Reddit). Filming for the leg in Victoria was the 29th (from the woman on Facebook). Then teams traveled from Victoria to Tofino for Leg 5 starting in the evening of the 30th, HOO or sign up at Hotel Zed (spec), and then finished filming the Tofino leg the next morning with a pit stop around 1 PM Pacific (that's when Kat & Tyler checked in).
-
TARCAN7 also filmed pre-pandemic, so it's a less than ideal precedent.
-
Kiwi and I have worked out from the Ben & Anwar TikTok video that they're saying "Route Info. Drive yourself to _____ Vancouver Island _______. Once there, _____ to the Malahat SkyWalk..." We can't make out after or what's being said in the "____" parts that but the Malahat SkyWalk is on Vancouver Island near Victoria. So that is in fact the pit start for the Greater Victoria leg.
-
I wonder if these confessional images are indicative of rough placement order. We know the FF team checked in after Tyler/Katrina. Could the 3 teams (Jas/Derek, Tyler/Kayleen and Purple MF) have checked in after?
Just a thought
-
So the only teams not spotted either in or heading to Tofino are Gisele & Gail, Allison & Eddie and Joel & Shayla. With a Speedbump being seen in Leg 4, it would be logical to conclude I think that we are at the final 7 in Tofino with those 3 being eliminated. Idk if Kimora & Starzy being the only ones not seen doing a confessional means anything or not.

We can't make out after or what's being said in the "____" parts that but the Malahat SkyWalk is on Vancouver Island near Victoria. So that is in fact the pit start for the Greater Victoria leg.
Malahat looks great ,I see them doing a slide as a roadblock..I think we are not getting a MIKA moment .she was one in a million lol
-
Leg 1: Calgary, AB (via Winnipeg, MB) = Gail/Gisele eliminated
Leg 2: Smithers, BC = Joel/Shayla or Eddie/Allison eliminated
Leg 3: Whistler, BC = F8 NEL
Leg 4: Victoria, BC = remainder of Joel/Shayla and Eddie/Allison eliminated
Leg 5: Tofino, BC = F7 NEL?
-
Niagara Falls, huh? They haven't been there since the start line of the first season. I'm curious how much more of a tourist trap it is now than when I was last there 20 years ago :funny:
Knowing some of TAR Canada's favorite kinds of haunts, I highly expect they'll hit up a vineyard. Niagara-on-the-Lake is as famous as the Okanagan, if not more, for its wine.
-
Looks like the other FF team are eliminated
This elimination order is terrible
Um, when did the young redhead/blonde women get booted?
-
I don't know what we are getting! Either it's a tar34 twins vs military bros,where they Were always 5minutes apart. Or a Ryan, dusty and Anthony /spencer bro alliance that we never fully experienced..The NEON team has been in every Ethiopian boys shot since episode uno :didimiss:
-
This marks 10 years since TAR Canada began. They could do a switchback thing in Niagara Falls and revisit Oakes Garden Theatre (the first starting line) or the first task at Niagara Butterfly Conservatory.
Kinda like TAR25 did with its starting line.
-
I don't think Tofino was an NEL
-
How come?
-
How come?
Well Kayleen & Tyler, Kat & Tyler and the girls haven't been seen since then yet so there's no proof really.
-
So the F/F isn't the only unaccounted team contrary to what willzito2018 implied.
-
Team Drag Race is the only one seen in Niagara so far. Could be anyone.
-
Kimora/Starzy did clear the BC gauntlet.
-
Team Drag Race is the only one seen in Niagara so far. Could be anyone.
Derek & Jas, Ben & Awar and the unknown M/F team were both seen at the airport yesterday so that confirms them for this leg.
-
^
The proper spelling for the name of Ben's teammate is Anwar; both gents look well primed to outdo the BBCAN9 crossover from last season.
-
The woman who posted the photos at the pit stop said that she believes Derek & Jas checked in first (said they were the first to drive into town) then the unknown M/F and then Kimora & Starzy in third.
-
Teams seen at Victoria airport enroute to Ontario:
Ben and Anwar
Jas and Derek
Blue M/Purple F
Teams seen in Niagara on the Lake so far are:
Jas and Derek
Kimora and Anastarzia (btw what are their real names?)
Blue M/Purple F
Tyler (amputee) and Kayleen
missing (one or two may already be out):
Lily (blonde) and brunette F
Joel and Shayla
Tyler and Katrina (blue touques)
-
Tyler & Katrina looked happy in their Pit Stop video in Leg 5 so it's not looking good for the other two unfortunately.
-
Looking through that video I think I see:
Unknown M/F talking with Ben & Anwar
Kat & Amputee Tyler sitting down
Kayleen, Starzy, Jas, Derek & Hockey Tyler talking.
No idea where Kimora is in that video but maybe they're with the unknowns and Ben & Anwar and just covered by the camera man.
-
So the F/F isn't the only unaccounted team contrary to what willzito2018 implied.
We knew they were likely out a few days ago already. Today's group sighting almost confirms this is probably the final 6. All of them standing around outside one shop, probably for some type of Hours of Operations thing.
My personal spec is:
Leg 1: Gisele and Gail
Leg 2: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 3: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 4: Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 5: Lily and Red Haired F
Leg 6 (Today): NEL
No confirmation of this being an NEL, I just think they wouldn't be down to final 5 already.
I've busy during this season so far and haven't paid much attention to it, but if someone was eliminated today -- and even for the future eliminations -- we'd probably be able to tell within 24 hours of their elimination anyway, even without any sightings... iykyk.
Also shoutout to Jjw26 for providing so many sightings for this season!
-
Based on what we’ve been seeing on social media and with sightings, it’s likely this:
Leg 1: Gisele & Gail
Leg 2: Eddie & Allison
Leg 3: Non-Elimination
Leg 4: Joel & Shayla
Leg 5: Lily & partner
Leg 6: Non-Elimination (most likely, as there are only 6 teams left)
-
Technically, Tofino could also be NEL, and this an elimination!

According to someone on Twitter, teams were spotted around the Isabel Bader theatre in Toronto about 30 minutes ago
-
So yeah looks like leg 6 NEL/KOR and if they finish leg 7 entirely tonight we'll be down to final 5.
-
Sounds like they checked in and jumped on a charter bus somewhere. So we can expect another leg tomorrow.
Do they ALWAYS do KOR in Ontario? That's one thing that's become completely predictable about TAR Canada routes at this point :P
-

Only S4 and last year if I recall correctly. I think for the general viewer there's no real predictability there, but if people are on this forum looking to make those connections, watching every episode ardently, and looking for spoilers, then there aren't really going to be surprises in this regard no matter how formulaic (or not) they make it. RFF is a fraction of a sliver of the viewership and not really representative of how the show is viewed normally.
-
If they are back in Toronto, we can expect another leg in Ontario, which city is left? lol
Windsor maybe, or maybe a full leg in Oshawa or around Toronto.
-
So yeah looks like leg 6 NEL/KOR and if they finish leg 7 entirely tonight we'll be down to final 5.
Next leg will be run tomorrow :tup:

Video from the Toronto airport from Thursday

From yaapp7 on TikTok
ok, this video is funny - teams running left, teams running right = no one knows which way to go :funny:
-
My personal spec is:
Leg 1: Gisele and Gail
Leg 2: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 3: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Correction: Leg 2 is 100% the F9 boot.
-
Occam's Razor would sooner suggest Windsor as the largest city yet to be visited by TARCAN.
Called it.
-
Guessing the pitstop order for yesterday was as follows based on the new sightings
1 Tyler/Kat
2 Tyler/Kayleen or Ben/Anwar
3 Tyler/Kayleen or Ben/Anwar
4 Jas/Derek
5 Unknown MF team
6 Drag Team
-
They seem to be making their way counterclockwise around the Detroit River. Hopefully wherever the Pit Stop is is in a place where Sue can get close enough to hear Jon say that name of the unknown M/F team.
-

You did. Maybe production is realizing CTV might not give them seasons forever and are checking off places they need to. I remember joking after TAR33 how when US would visit London, England, TAR Canada would visit London, Ontario. Guess where they turned up the very next season :funny:
Can I try that? lol - After St. John's and Corner Brook, Occam's Razor would suggest Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador to be visited by TARCAN 🤞🤞
-
So the only teams not spotted from NOTL in Windsor are Jas & Derek and Kimora & Starzy?
-
(https://i.imgur.com/aT145Im.jpg)
What do we think is going on in this picture?
It stood out to me because it looks like three teams (Ben and Anwar, Katrina and Tyler S, and Kayleen and Tyler T) are all together working on the same sculpture...?
Do we think that's just how the task is designed with teams competing that close to each other, or could it be some sort of Intersection twist with 3 teams vs 3 teams?
-
I think that sculpture is the example and they're all just looking at it
-

Sue- teams on the way to Tilsbury
That's like a 40 minute drive. Interesting.
-
Sue- teams on the way to Tilsbury
Team may be lost. Sue is headed to Point Pelee to scout if that is the PS.
Point Pelee is a fitting spot for a Pit Stop to this leg. I'm sure Jon would mention it's the southernmost point in Canada.

Nothing at PP, presumably PS is somewhere else.
Thank you WindsorSue for all the sightings today!

Did Sue see Kimora & Starzy and/or Jas & Derek at all? Or are some photos she took coming later?

I'll do a write up when I have recovered! We tailed them as far as we could...well into nowhereland Chatham/Kent County. No idea where the pitstop could be.
-
I'll do a write up when I have recovered!
Round of applause for Sue. :clap2:
-
I'll post in sightings in a bit, but:
We followed who we believed to be the lead team (Tyler & Kat) out into the county. The next county east to be exact. A crossroads town called Coatsworth. They started down a dirt road, Concession 3. We thought they were lost as there is NOTHING out there. Turned back and saw Tyler and Kayleen.
I kinda think it could have been a task involving the Equinox GPS, especially if they came all the way back to Windsor to Willistead Manor.
-
Some more spec based on what I wrote in Live Sightings:
-we think the Unknown M/F team and Jas & Derek checked out the sculpture task and decided to do the aquatic task. They just weren't at the sculpture long enough. We didn't see these two teams again.
-Tyler and Kay waited abt 30 minutes for Tyler/Kat & Ben/Anwar to get to Face Off. No other teams came out while Tyler/Kat waited. I think this suggests any teams doing the aquatic task had not finished it ahead of them.
-no confirmation, but my daughter thinks she saw either Kimora or Starzy at the sculpture task as we drove away. Perhaps they were in that last red Equinox at the train station???
-
-no confirmation, but my daughter thinks she saw either Kimora or Starzy at the sculpture task as we drove away. Perhaps they were in that last red Equinox at the train station???
Even though there was (so far) no sightings of Kimora and Starzy in Windsor, I think them being with all the other teams while waiting for the bus in NOTL would still confirm them for this leg only because I don't think production would have cameras on them if they were eliminated and the crew was filming their conversations while waiting for the bus.
-
Maybe Kimora and Starzy fell too far behind to see and now they're gone. Hopefully next leg produces good sightings to prove who all is still there.

The face-off would prompt that they are not left far behind....

Good work :conf: ,

I'm curious to see where in Atlantic Canada they visit. I would imagine New Brunswick is the least likely since we visited last season, but what's really surprising to me is that we haven't had an urban St. John's leg since Season 1, and also have never been to Labrador! Perhaps we'll get two legs in NL!
Elsewhere we could see a visit to PEI outside of the greater Charlottetown area - Summerside is a very quaint town and they could visit the rural parts of the western part of the Island.
Of course Nova Scotia is overdue too!
-
I think I can say with great certainty they'll never come to my part of NS, lol. It's the southern hub and there's a ferry service to the US here, but it's too out of the way from Halifax and the airport, and all that's really around is Acadian stuff (which they've covered twice before)

The Amazing Race Canada might be filming in the Windsor train station?
8:16 AM EDT · May 8, 2023

Guessing that they're on this train.
https://tsimobile.viarail.ca/#72
Likely on their way to YYZ
The train arrived at Union Station at 14:10 local time. If we assume they will be flying to their next destination, here are the domestic routes scheduled for the rest of the day at the time of writing:
- Montreal
- Vancouver
- Ottawa
- Saskatoon
- Calgary
- Regina
- St. John's
- Winnipeg
- Halifax
- Edmonton
- Quebec City
- Deer Lake
- Moncton
- Sault Ste. Marie
- Charlottetown
- Saint John
- Sydney
This all comes with the blind assumption that (1) they are flying at all, (2) they are flying today, (3) they are flying out of Pearson and not Billy Bishop (another airport in Toronto).
Another possibility is that they got off the train before Toronto. If so, they could have gotten off at Chatham, Glencoe, London, Ingersoll, Woodstock, Brantford, Aldershot or Oakville.
Let's see if we can't find them!
-
Yeah, I wouldn't put a third leg in Ontario past them, but odds are on Montreal or Quebec City if they're flying out. They generally like to go west to east as much as possible.
-
To get to Saguenay they could've either flown from the Montreal airport this morning, which in that case they will arrive around 10:30 AM Eastern, or they could've driven from the Montreal airport to Saguenay which is about 5 hours and they would've encountered another HOO/sign up board. Only problem with the flying option is that it would mean teams would've had to have stayed in the Montreal airport overnight and somehow avoided any sightings despite that.
-
^
Unless teams went through Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport instead of Trudeau.
-
Unless teams went through Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport instead of Trudeau.
The only flights I can find from Montreal is through Trudeau. The only other flights that land in Saguenay are through Wabush, Newfoundland which definitely isn't what teams took.
-
Don't know much about what Saguenay has, but the Fjord National Park downriver seems like a place they might check out.
-
So they probably took the train in Montreal, then flew in the next morning. Maybe they did a task in Montreal last night? (like the two times they were in Toronto last season, perhaps a Guru task or find someone with departing time for the next morning.
I would also keep an eye for 'La petite maison blanche' which is now a museum but it became a iconic picture during the 1996 flood. As the only surviving house around, surrounded by water.
Maybe a pitstop (or pitstart of the next leg)
-
Don't know much about what Saguenay has, but the Fjord National Park downriver seems like a place they might check out.
With the lack of sightings today, this may actually be the case. Although I don't know how often we get sightings in Quebec.
-
Although I don't know how often we get sightings in Quebec.
French Canada has always been difficult outside of major cities.
-
Does Saguenay have any ski hills around? Is there still snow in the area? Has there been a city yet that's had challenges in the snow? Seems to me there always is a snow type of challenge on TARC.
-
Based on the schedule so far this season, I think we're likely looking at the following for the rest of the season.
May 11: Leg 9
May 12: Rest/Production set up
May 13: Leg 10
May 14: Rest/Production set up
May 15: Finale
Maybe finale on the 16th if they spend a full day traveling for a leg.
-
Just a heads up, Amazing Race Isreal is filming in Iceland right now as we speak so if you're looking for sightings for TARCAN, make sure what version it is.
-
https://www.facebook.com/notllocal
https://www.notllocal.com/local-news/amazing-race-canada-in-niagara-for-upcoming-series-6977628
On the Facebook post for this article, people are commenting that teams were in St Catherines and Fenwick on the same day as NOTL.
St. Catharine's is halfway between NOTL and Niagara Falls. Fenwick is farther SW. Maybe they started there and worked their way back to NOTL for the Pit Stop.
-
Barring any scenarios like TARCAN8's snafus, TO should be the F5 boot as the third to the last leg.
-
But we are not even sure it's really us in Toronto no?
I would expect more sighting if it was us
-
well haMerotz 9 was/is in Iceland and there's no evidence that either the Finns or the Aussies have begun.
-
Well now we know for sure but my point was that there was no flag im that first picture…
It could have been anything, a team building challenge, a stunt event for a collecting funds for cancer, etc..
-
Occam's Razor would have refuted any and all of the above.
Anyhow, still wagering Kenora for the penultimate leg (four in ON to balance BC) and Halifax for the finale.
-
Could they have flown into Toronto yesterday and just had the teams stay in the hotel the rest of the day to run the leg today in order for Jon and the crew to do this?:

Halifax would be a good finale but my hope is St. John's. :)
-
They've never done an east coast finale before, so Halifax is definitely a possibility.
-
Urgh Toronto is so disapointing....
Wonder what the penultimate leg will be, but I'm also thinking we are going to have a East Coast finale (Halifax or St-John's)
-

It’s a real shame people don’t enjoy Toronto legs. Living there I love seeing places that I pass by on the daily being used. Since US doesn’t come to Canada it’s the only real opportunity to see the city used for the race.
No one complains about New York being a finish line city in TAR US.
-
It's like why TARUS gravitates toward certain places over and over (like France or China) - for the convenience of a major travel hub.
Toronto's airport pretty much opens up the rest of the country. So instead of just flying out, they figure they might as well make a leg out it, and get a good night's sleep at a nearby hotel too.
-
The Immersion Room is there. Might be an early memory challenge in a VR space.
There is reason to believe that there was a VR related task this leg so this checks out

I mean for what it’s worth I much prefer cities not named New York and Los Angeles to host finales, which is why it’s been so refreshing to see the revolving door of new cities since season 29.
Also I feel like comparing New York and Toronto is like comparing apples to oranges.
-

Is this a caliber thing? Canada's largest city for the U.S.'?
If you don't like Toronto that's cool, but this seems like arbitrary opinion to me. Again, a bit disappointed people are eager to preemptively be put off by my hometown, but okay.
-
So if the final 4 was in fact today either we missed a leg somewhere (maybe in Quebec), there is 1 less leg this season or today was an NEL at the final 4 and we have one more leg until the final(I hate those personally so I'm going to pretend that's not the case until proven otherwise). If it's not the last one, we might be looking at the final leg being ran this weekend.
-
To be fair, a lot of seasons have done that. It leaves the final elimination in suspense for another week, assuming they don't do like last year's finale.
-
Could also be further cost-cutting, TARCAN1 was 10 legs, 2-4 were 12, 5-8 were 11, maybe we're back to 10? It's also possible we had another Keep on Racing in Quebec and that's when our final non-elim was.
-
Okay the guy with the photo of Deven & Amanda and Kayleen & Tyler said that Deven & Amanda showed up an hour before Kayleen & Tyler and that Kayleen & Tyler "showed up 5th" (assuming he means 4th). Eyewitness testimonies can be inaccurate a lot of the time so take that with a grain of salt.
-
Also it’s possible that they had a F5 elimination leg and this is F4 NEL
We can have one more leg before the finale
-

There are certain things that have been posted that make me believe that the final is sooner rather than later.

The next leg will tell. If they're climbing a bridge or doing something big like that, then you know it's a finale.
-
Okay the guy with the photo of Deven & Amanda and Kayleen & Tyler said that Deven & Amanda showed up an hour before Kayleen & Tyler and that Kayleen & Tyler "showed up 5th" (assuming he means 4th).
NEVERMIND miscommunication. Kayleen & Tyler showed up an hour before Deven & Amanda.

The guy admitted that he's never seen the show so it's possible that he could be confused about where they placed, but it seems they at the very least finished behind Tyler & Kayleen.

any chances this might be a non elimination leg? if its 11 leg season we still have 2 legs to film
-

Always the chance, but there's also always the chance that we missed a leg somewhere else or that the budget was cut and we only have 10 legs. We know nothing for certain just certain things point to that we only have two more days left of filming (but those thing could also be wrong we'll see only time will tell).
-
Three of the four teams speculated to be our F4 seen at the mat... should be very interesting to see if the finale is next!
-
Edit: My bad. Wrong Tyler.
-

The maths adds up, since leg7 was a KOR, I think they eliminated in leg 8 and top 4 were safe in leg 9..leg 10 Won't b so kind imo :hfive:
-

I think you got your legs mixed up. Leg 6, according to Gamer's timeline, was KOR final 6 and leg 7 was final 6 elimination. Final 5 was in Quebec. God only knows what happens after that.

I mean that TAR Canada using Toronto is not quite the same as TARUS using New York City. Here's a few reasons why I think this.
For one, the Toronto area has hosted tasks in Seasons 1, 3, 6, 8 and 9, which at this point is over half of the seasons. Down south, the New York City area has hosted tasks in Seasons 1, 8, 10, 21, 25 and 27. This is only six of the 35 so far, so New York City has a much smaller presence in the American show than Toronto does in the Canadian show.
Furthermore, we are neglecting the fact that, excluding season 8, the American show exclusively travels internationally. New York City hosting the finale of Season 21 (for example) is just not the same as Toronto hosting Leg 6 of TAR Canada 6.
I'll leave off with mentioning that I never said I disliked Toronto, please don't put words in mouth.
-
Toronto's only appeared on four consecutive seasons inclusive versus Los Angeles from 12 to 29.
-

Toronto has had a LEG in four consecutive season, which is different than LA having a start line before they immediately fly to a foreign country.
-
I fear we may have missed the finale... I think it might have been yesterday. Either that or it'll be done today but I think it may have already finished.
Look for Halifax area/Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia sightings.

There's no reason to fret until the F4 start reappearing on socials.
-
Some delayed sightings of people seeing teams, I will just enclose the screenshots in an IMGUR post to avoid clogging up the thread.
Adventure Bay Water Park - one of the locations on the Windsor leg (other Detour option maybe?)
This is in the same Complex as the Aquatic Centre
https://www.citywindsor.ca/mayorandcouncil/family-aquatic-complex/pages/family-aquatic-complex.aspx
-
Maybe they'll get to Lunnenberg, or even Oak Island?
-
I'm confused - they are saying Fisherman's Cove but the dock/wharf they are at with the puzzle is more like an outdoor wharf like an amphitheatre with wide steps - no sign of boats being able to dock. I'm not familiar with the area, any locals have any insight?
Not on Google map yet - but called Queen's Landing & Wharf - there are big stone steps into water along with wharf with steps.
-
The puzzle task is at the Halifax Waterfront. Fisherman's Cove might've been one of the first locations this leg.
-
There might be something at Point Pleasant Park. Rick said his wife saw TV trucks in the parking lot there.
-
Could today's leg be the finale like we thought? Those puzzles look like something a final memory task might do.
-

Yes it's the final. There were only 3 puzzle stations.
-
Excited to see a black mm in the finale ..supposing that they win, they would be the 2nd black mm to win in tarcanada and the 2nd in the whole franchise :conf:... it Nice to see . THEY Would be the 2nd black mm finalist in AmazingRace Canada history and the 3rd black mm finalists in the whole franchise..Good luck Ben and anawar ,even if u left the puzzle last.
-
is it possibble they do 1 more leg in quebec between saguenay and toronto? TBC leg maybe? making it 11 leg race again?
-
Real question:
Is there a chance also that there was a leg in Rural Manitoba before the Calgary leg?
I remember a comment on Twitter or Facebook where someone mentioned seeing teams a day or two before the first sighting. (but we believed back then it was just filming team intro's).
I know the chance is small but I think it's weird that we would go back to 10 episode after having the same format for so long.
The other option is another KOR leg after Saguenay, I guess?
-
It isn't an all-male finale like season three, is it?
-
is it possibble they do 1 more leg in quebec between saguenay and toronto? TBC leg maybe? making it 11 leg race again?
One would hope.
-
We didn't see the starting line. I suppose there could have been a first leg in Manitoba, somewhere outside the city. But we have the 10 teams so it would have to be a NEL.
-
TARCAN would probably save their first premiere NEL for an All-Stars season.

Flights to Calgary.
Flight 1: Ty & Kat, Shayla & Joel, Allie & Eddie, Gail & Gisele, and Derek & Jaspal

How did Gail & Gisele manage to be eliminated when they were at 1st flight?

Well, the premiere shed some light on that. Because Gisele was bad at pretty much every task presented to them.

This article says the NOTL leg is on Aug 15, so leg 7, if there are no skipped weeks.

Would they really know that in advance? It's just a local journal?
If this is true, then we have 5 legs in BC, which is terrible....
We know they went directly from Whistler to victoria because of the video from the pitstart, then we know Tofino is right after Victoria. So would the only place that make sense is that we have 2 legs in the mountains around Whistler?
Leg 3: Unknown BC
Leg 4: NEL finishing in Whistler
I hope this is wrong and we have double Quebec legs this time around
-
I saw after the cast announcement, some on the Facebook page were complaining "Where's the provincial representation? Too many BC and Ontario teams!"
Wait 'til they see the route over the next several weeks.

The boot order seems pretty clear at this point.
10th - Gail & Gisele
9th - Allie & Eddie
8th - Shayla & Joel
7th - Lily & Gracie
6th - Jermaine & Justin
5th - Derek & Jaspal
4th - Deven & Amanda

Switch those and that's it.

Oh do we have proof team Drag survived Windsor?
I think from live sighting that it was a bit up in the air!

Social media activity. Unless Windsor was a double elimination leg for some reason they survived.
-
Last night's leg just made our very likely boot order, very frustrating, with the Drag Queens outlasting the girls.

Yeah, I'm wondering what goes wrong for Lily and Gracie. :(
-
Interesting coincidence that the 3 holders of Express Passes are the final 3.
-
There's a Pass next week. With how well Gracie & Lily have been doing, I'm guessing they were a target.

Seems likely from the teams that are left.
At this point, there seems to be at least an informal - ugh - alliance between the 3 EP holders.
Drag Queens and First Nation haven't been a big threat.
With the edit strongly pushing towards the rivalry talk between Social Media duo and the girls, I assume that Ty & Kat are probably ahead, and the youtubers use the pass on the girls.

According to the Bell Guide, no episode on Aug 8

Wonder what's the reasoning. CTV website lists an episode of Jeopardy Masters on 08/08 for TARCan Timeslot. Which might be a rerun, as that is being affected by the WGA strike, as there no writer to write the new questions.
-
Padding it out for an extra week if this season is only 10 legs as we suspect. Though they've taken a week off a couple times before during the 11-leg era (seasons 4 and 8 )
Shame the break has to come right as they finally get out of BC 😅
-
There's generally a break week every year. This year it falls onto a week with a statutory holiday. Last year it fell on the same holiday. There's probably no less episodes than usual. There are probably still 11 legs, one of which will be KOR, just as usual.
-
It's interesting that next leg is the last leg that EPs can be used, meaning all 3 of them are getting used on leg 6, which just happens to be the KOR of the season.
Curious if there's such limit for the Assist.
3 of our F4 teams still has their Assist passes. Wonder if it wiil still be a thing at the last few legs.
-
Sad to see a break coming up. Been eagerly awaiting the Windsor leg as I filmed a segment for it!

Welcome! We are all super fans so share whatever you can within your limits!
What fun!

I was involved in the Poker challenge in Windsor. I can answer questions after it airs.

Well, leg 8 next week should be an episode the fans have been looking forward to, lol. Three strikes, you're out for JJ.
Just a hunch the via ferrata is their undoing. If Justin threw a hissy fit over a bungee jump, I can almost hear him when he has to climb a mountain.

Those of us who followed the spoilers, were aware of that boot list for ages, right? Not terribly bothered by them outlasting the youtubers, but still very sad about them outlasting the girls, which were a way stronger team.
Will not be surprised by either a Via Ferrata meltdown, or if they just take another penalty for that.
-
There's one sponsor this season who hasn't gotten their moment yet. I assume the leg in Toronto will have them running through a Staples store with a list to find.
-
Only got a brief glimpse, but I think the finish line is at the Bonaventure Anchor.

It seems like this is going to be a jam pack leg! (Like last season)
- Seadoo task
- Sword dancing task
- Indian dance task
- Crossword task
Is the Seadoo task in Eastern passage? Or that's something else?
