It'd be nice if they do like US and Australia and stick to some new, smaller-populated areas. Churchill, MB and Labrador have been great, untouched possibilities. Please no Toronto! It's had 3 1/2 legs in 7 seasons :funny:
Maybe they'll surprise us with at least one international place. Canada just recently relaxed flight restrictions, plus the 3 ON & BC legs from season 7 felt like they wanted to but something fell through.
Guessing leg 2 will happen today. Crazy how this one flew undetected, the starting line's probably somewhere in Montreal.
Looking forward to the first actual shot of a team to know if we have new teams or All-Stars. On one hand, coming back after 3 years with returnees might not go over well for ratings, someone made that point on Twitter the other day. It's probably people they had lined up back in 2020.
I'm hoping for a good route/cast/season, though! Sucks about Covid because in 2019 they just came off the highest ratings in 3 seasons.
I feel like because of Covid, there will be a lot of driving involved this time around, so it's possible another AB leg, or they could drive to Southwest Saskatchewan or Southest BC
Crystal Barnett's photograph shows a 3x3 sign-up board, suggesting another Final Nine NEL on the second leg a la TARCAN4's Kate/Kelly and Heroes' Edition's Zainab/Monica.

I doubt that huge thing is sing-up board. There is only 1 person standing there, so I think it may has something to do with Roadblock.
We have had reports that the Amazing Race Canada was in Sparwood at the Terex Titan - on April 30, 2022.
That’s why there were all those identical cars lined up in the Causeway Bay parking lot this morning.
Via FB. Something is not adding up.

Pit Stop? Causeway Bay is a hotel next to the Terex Titan.
I wonder if they might have stopped at the Terex Titan in Sparwood, the first town into BC on Highway 3. It's formerly the largest truck in the world, a perfect spot to put a cluebox.
2. MM Team - We saw this team leaving Montreal
After the sightings from today, I think we have 11 teams racing this season. 10 were sighted today.Ten? I thought there were only said to have been nine spotted today.
Leg 1 Elimination
Leg 2 Non-Elimination
Leg 3 with 10 teams

I went over everything and I believe we saw 9 today.
The camera crew look different...most of them were not on tarcan7 .....Has anyone seen jon yet!! :)x :)x
I have a theory that Montreal was maybe the Starting line?
Like we know of two things: The Ferris Wheel and the Burlesque task.
So maybe the ferris wheel was the stating line (pretty private spot) and then they do one task (the burlesque) like they did on task in Toronto (The lion King task ) for Season 7.
The only flaw in my theory is that there was a 3 days break between Montreal and Lethbridge.
Maybe they just did sign-up charts after the Burlesque task, and decided to wait a bit to continue? (For temperature reason?)

There's already a precedent for both the Starting Line as well as the remainder of the first leg to take place in the same province: Heroes' Edition, which began in suburban Victoria and ended in Squamish, i.e. staying entirely in BC.
There must have been another leg by now, but nothing's turning up in my searching :( The mentions of "Amazing Race Canada" on Facebook today are pretty much all about Ashley Callingbull.
Probably some small, isolated pocket of the country
By sightings, Thursday they were at Calgary airport. Last night they were seen at there again. Apparently we missed a second leg in Alberta somewhere yesterday (would it still be leg 4?) but they'll have flown out now.
They've been doing that for a couple seasons now where they'll do a leg in BC, do one in Alberta then bounce back to BC. Or vice-versa in this case.
Oh my. They're in Vernon? The hometown of beloved TAR blogger Logan Saunders.
Guessing the Paraglide was near the airport.
Just gonna throw this out there:
Non - elimination legs:
Season 4: 2,6,8
Season 5: 4,6,8
Season 6: 2,5,7
Season 7: 4,6,8
Team 6 looks like they are taking a Sunday stroll :funny:
No rush whatsoever

Maybe they're last. You know that defeated attitude a lot of teams have when they know they are - "Let's finish this out"
Guru is definitely a sponsor. You can see their logo in the pavilion, so it was a product placement task.

Belleville Ontario is the next leg.
Belleville Ontario is the next leg.
I bet London is a KOR just like the two Ontario legs in season 6
Looks like Craig and Cathrine are still in it as it looks like Craig is in the tub and Catherine is making bath bombs
so.much.confusion ....someone break it down..
Leg 1 Montreal - Ferris Wheel and Burlesque Task
Leg 2 Alberta
9 or 10 slots on that board
9 Cars were spotted
Leg 3 Fernie
10 Cars were spotted

7 cars at airport
Craig/Catherine and Yellow MM missing
Leg 6 London
Presumed KOR Leg
Leg 7 Belleville
8 cars were at the train station/Teams departed in 2? groups
Team 8 (FF team) missing.
Idk if this is us but here it is from Reddit:
This may explain the two ladies I saw on Elgin Street today dressed like maniac 80s aerobic instructors being followed by a camera and a sound guy.
Still seems to be plenty of teams for this late in the race. It's looking like the TAR31 pattern. Burn off the NELs early, from then on it's every team for themselves (which imo is a nice way to hold the suspense when it matters)It's looking expensive to have so many teams, running so many legs . But OK :jam:

Is this correct?
Eh, it's the third all-domestic route for TARCAN with quite a budget saved over from the hiatus of the last couple years.Covid checks
Unless he got eliminated before the finale and is posting from either his home or the sequester hotel.
Spoke too Soon: We are live for the finale!

Richmond Night Market
(https://i.imgur.com/1in1SFe.jpg)
So our final 3 is M/M #3, a M/F team, and a F/F team who "appeared to be winning" (at least at the Night Market). Thanks, Fossil for asking!
That is somewhat relieving. I expected all the women's teams to get picked off again.So our final 3 is M/M #3, a M/F team, and a F/F team who "appeared to be winning" (at least at the Night Market). Thanks, Fossil for asking!Hoping to identify these teams soon but we have an even gender finale!!!!
"went to a night market and they were filming what was presumably the finale to the latest season of the amazing race"
"Can’t believe I saw them filming the amazing race lmfaooooo dreams do come true
THE FINALE"
"I'm sorry i didn't catch any pics but we saw a team of two women who seemed to be winning, a man and woman team and then also a team of two men. The man and woman team seemed rlly stressed as well as the two men, we did see the two men getting some gelato! LOL"
"From what I could tell blue was first, yellow second, then green, orange and the fifth team were lagging behind."
We are just missing Durell's partner and a possible 11th team (more on this later)!Eleven?! I thought that Canada can only afford ten!

There were some theories thrown around here throughout the season that TARCAN is doing the First Class twist so that could explain the nine cars too.
Wrapping up some loose ends here:
There are reasons to believe a leg may have been held in the Owen Sound, Ontario area. This is expected to be leg 10 (thank you to Fossil for confirming this), with the Vancouver leg being leg 11. Now that leaves one missing leg, believed to be between Leg 6 and Leg 10. There is a possibility that they filmed two legs in the same location of one of the aforementioned legs. There may have also been a task in Montebello, Quebec, which is where teams were possibly heading in that ferry sighting.
There are sightings on Reddit/Facebook that suggest leg 4 was held in Banff/Canmore and surrounding area.
Start line: Unknown atm (Possible sighting in Mont Tremblant, Quebec)
Leg 1: Montreal, Quebec
Leg 2: Lethbridge, Alberta and surrounding area
Leg 3: Fernie, British Columbia and surrounding area
Leg 4: Banff/Canmore Area.
Leg 5: Kelowna and Vernon, British Columbia
Leg 6: London, Ontario
Leg 7?: Belleville and Prince Edward County, Ontario
Leg 8?: Ottawa, Ontario and Montebello, Quebec
Leg 9?: Missing leg.
Leg 10: Owen Sound, Ontario
Leg 11: Vancouver and Richmond, British Columbia.
"There were 2 co-ed teams that showed up later. One of them was a neurotic mess. Guy was a control (bleep). They held up a line, asked people to wait for their order, asked someone to buy their order. They were really annoying."
Another tweeter wrote this so I'm pretty sure it's Craig/Cat. LOL @ neurotic mess cuz I've never heard that phrase beforeQuote"There were 2 co-ed teams that showed up later. One of them was a neurotic mess. Guy was a control (bleep). They held up a line, asked people to wait for their order, asked someone to buy their order. They were really annoying."
Great... can't wait to see that team on my screen all season, I'm sure the editor's gonna have fun with him.
Yeah. . . . Can we all agree that we've likely found our villain team?Quote"There were 2 co-ed teams that showed up later. One of them was a neurotic mess. Guy was a control (bleep).

From an anonymous source:Love it. Sounds like the girls will have it if they keep holding strong and don't screw up.
"Was at the night market last night. They were doing a food run challenge. First 2 teams was a Filipino team and 2 guys."
"I think the Filpino team was in the lead and finished first but, to be honest, I didn't really see them that much. They were tiny and hard to spot in the crowded market."
"The guys really struggled and were there for hours. I saw them walking around everywhere"
This might explain why not a single team has followed Craig or Catherine yet... 😬
So barring any other surprises, the F4 in the finale are Craig & Catherine, Jess & Marika, Brendan & Connor, and Franca & Nella, yes? Is that correct?

It's funny because that's the vibe I got from first seeing their Instagram pages - that these two are going to be intense. They're both actors, but also ultra-beef and Craig's a celebrity personal trainer. We've seen in the past how personal trainers translate to racers.
From the racers we've identified so far, I'm getting the sense overall like TAR Canada cast for drama this time more than they ever did before. Why not, right? Dave & Irina brought a lot of good and bad publicity, but they sure as hell got people talking about the show regardless.
All 10 spoiled teams made it to leg 3 at least right? I wonder what the NEL pattern is.
I feel like we are having a final 3 and that one of the teams are a decoy...
And i don't want them to be, but the one that makes the most sense would be the girls because they were early

The brothers were apparently right behind them.
Would TARCAN care that much about spoilers considering eliminated teams were allowed to be active on SM during filming? Where was the last time decoys were used? Twinnies in NYC during S21 finale?

Yeah, and apparently they were wearing flip-flops, a dead giveaway they weren't actually racing. S21 is the last time I heard of them.
JUST A REMINDER HERE:Isn't it F4, in this case? Or was there a mid-leg elimination like TAR25-26?
RFF DOES NOT SPOIL THE FINAL 3 Finish Order or Winners.
Thanks guys!
Isn't it F4, in this case? Or was there a mid-leg elimination like TAR25-26?
There's no premiere date either, but CTV also carries TARUS in sync, so to finish by about mid-September, it's close.
In fairness, we don't know if CBS will start the season with a 90-minute Survivor premiere and BB finale before switching to Survivor, TAR, and Love Boat.
Well, they've been posting mystery teasers from the back of a team every hour today, and they're up to 8 as of now. We shall soon find out if there's 10 teams or 11.
So the team who went undetected were sisters.No, that team that was posted is the Filipina girls I'm pretty sure.
Wait who is the sister team from Alberta?Pretty sure the Filipinas are sisters. They're definitely from Alberta at the very least.
If its only 10 teams, my guess is Montreal is starting line + 1 task and Lethbridge is the rest of leg 1
No, the Timeline says that they're blood-unrelated friends.Then who we think are the Filipinas is wrong.
Looks like there is in fact only ten teams. Their Instagram page just made a post with 10 teams acting like that's the whole cast.
Sisters don't always have to be biological. One could be adopted. A bunch of the cast is following them, so chances are it's right.
I'm really confuse with the timeline of us having 10 teams on leg 3... (the only logical explanation is that Montreal is not a full leg but like Toronto in Season 7)I can't really speak for the opening legs, but as for the last part, it could be a mid-leg elimination a la TAR25 and TAR26.
But also about having a final 4.... like 40% of the cast made the finale lol that seems like a lot
Are these photos from behind with general info they posted at Friday official cast announcement? :duno: Or will they do also normal one with front photos and team bios? I am worried we will have to wait till premiere to find more about teams with this strange marketing strategy.
So ummm... Jully and Kathy being eliminated first creates a giant wrinkle in everything. :funny:Where was that taped? Are those really Jully & Kathy?
(https://i.imgur.com/LXAABs9.jpg?1)
Do they get brought back later on in the season like Dwes and Katherine from TARAUS5?
So ummm... Jully and Kathy being eliminated first creates a giant wrinkle in everything. :funny:
lol no Elimination Station?? Or maybe a team got Covid and they came back in ("wait till you watch the season")??
Yea that makes the most logical sense ATP. I wonder which team will have this unlucky fate?Dennis & Durrell or Ali & Court, most likely, since they're looking like the early boots of this season, since the other teams have evidence of going much farther in the race.
So ummm... Jully and Kathy being eliminated first creates a giant wrinkle in everything. :funny:
TAR Canada 8 has just pioneered a new innovation. Instead of an Elimination Station, decoy racers beginning from Leg 1. :funny:
Maybe this is as something to do with Craig and Catherine being the only team missing from the Kelowna airport?
If not than, I think leg 2 is non elimination, and that two teama gets covid after leg 3, which would explain why they bring the girls back for leg 4 or 5?
Since one net team was lost due to Covid, I wonder if we have 10 legs instead of 11.And I wonder what explains Catherine & Craig being on the final leg if they were removed over COVID?

False positive?Since one net team was lost due to Covid, I wonder if we have 10 legs instead of 11.And I wonder what explains Catherine & Craig being on the final leg if they were removed over COVID?
Perhaps C & C won a haMerotz-style competition over C & A and D & D to reenter the race. /s
I’m not sure how I feel about Craig and Catherine having a 2 leg break… (or maybe even 3)!
Kinda sucks covid ****ed everything up, I fear TARC8 will have a TAR33 vibe where things are a bit wierd…
The two-week break until the next episode suggests a ten-leg season, i.e. a finale still on schedule to air the 13th of September rather than the 20th, the day before the Season 34 premiere.
With 6 legs left and 6+3 teams they would need to have a double elimination if they are getting down to three teams in the final.There are four in the finale.
They could even do two double elimination legs and have one non-elimination, all to keep the racers on their toes.
So my out-there theory for next week is that they placed a Return Ticket in the leg in a similar manner to how they hid Express Passes during seasons 3-5.

So next week is Canada's first ever double-elimination. Presumably, Court & Ali and Cassie & Jahmeek?Half-right. It was Cedric & Tychon and Cassie & Jahmeek.
Bathurst, New Brunswick? Where'd that come from?
So it wasn't a 4-province route after all. At least NB isn't the semifinal leg for once :)
If Franca & Nella win, the reception's sure to be controversial like Amy & Maya all over again (honestly, their winning never sat right with me either). Also, Catherine & Craig got a bit of a cheat by skipping two legs.I don't get how it would be. Amy & Maya got saved by a (perfectly legitimate) TBC. Franca & Nella at least came in next-to-last on a normal elimination leg.
Every other task featured in the Finale Preview besides the Richmond Night Market challenge did look like they all took place during the daytime.
