We will be needing this :lol:
-
It'll be interesting to see how the Peg works as the Starting Line city in early-ish springtime when it really should've hosted the Finale during May.
-
Winnipeg! Yay! At least we're not starting in Ontario or British Columbia again this season! :funny: :lol:
Can we safely assume that teams will be "racing across Canada" and not "racing across Canada and the world" again this season?
-
Last season's opener took place entirely in Quebec - to say nothing of the CAN4 premiere avoiding both BC as well as ON.
-
Calgary! Again! Boy oh boy, this is going to be a very long season! :funny: :lol:

Castle Hill in Townsville says hi.
It remains to be seen if they'll hit up more unvisited locales such as Grande Prairie.
-
Everyone identified so far is either some sort of content creator or celebrity :groan:
-
Quite a low bar set by the precedent of Season 28: Social Media Edition.
-
Props to TARCan's ever-progressive casting though if they've cast a trans racer for the second time.
-
Another trans racer and first ever double amputee!!
The only thing is that I wish there was more FF teams!

I believe Jody Mitic was a double amputee in season one.

Yes, for all of TARCAN's recent routing issues, its casts have hit the mark for a decade and counting.
-

Are any of these content creators or celebrities well-known?
TARCAN2 had Natalie Spooner, who was very well-known at the time. Hell TARCAN1 had Hal and Joanne. No one complained then. Every time this comes up-- before anyone even watches the show-- it gives big 'oh those darn kids and their cell phones', shaking a fist at the sky vibes.
-

People have already been making a big deal online about the Wrestling girls (Orange F/F) and Joel from the Red team is going to be in the new live action Avatar series for Netflix

That's weird-- I haven't seen anyone discussing TARCAN9 online yet. Just this forum.
Also that's really exciting about the Avatar show-- I'll probably watch that too. Good for him! :)
Kind of like Ashley Callingbull from TARCAN4 being on 'Blackstone' before being on TARCAN... but no one complained about that either.

Redmond reported the wrestlers' news.

Here's hoping that the tasks can at least approach the gold standard set by early TARCAN seasons.
-
Only two FF teams sighted so far, am I correct?
-

Yes. Probably the only 2 for the year
-
Fun fact: every odd-numbered TARCAN season has had an even-numbered amount of all-female teams, and vice versa.
-
If memory serves correctly, we haven't had a fully urban Calgary leg since Season 4! So it should be good to see again!
Also Smithers is a new place in BC that we haven't seen yet! Hopefully we can get some more new cities like Quesnel or Prince George, and hopefully a full leg in Haida Gwaii!
-
Better than that, taking the route up and over, through some territories, as we haven't seen much of them for a while.
-
Yay! We have a new place! Smithers! :conf: :cheer: :woohoo:
British Columbia continues the tradition of very visited in ever season of TAR Canada! Now we just need Ontario to be visited to get the trifecta! :funny: :lol:
-
There are way too many teams with the same/similar colors (like 4 different blue teams). What is going on? Lmao

Funny thing is neon attracts a lot of attention so it's good for us
-
Yeah, there's a reason why Jas & Derek and Allison & Eddie are the teams we saw the most today :funny:
-
I think one thing we tend to overlook is that British Columbia is far and away the most diverse province, with oceans, rainforests, mountains, cities, and Canada's only desert. It naturally would make sense that it always hosts 2-3 legs.
Sure, we have the territories, the prairies, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, but it would be pretty hard making a full 11 leg race that excludes BC and also makes each leg feel unique, in the geographic sense.
-
^
In respectful disagreement because CAN4 proved that the province may have its requisite visit as a single leg instead of the usual double or triple.

True, however Season 4 also had 3 legs abroad. I was mainly talking about (and in retrospect should have said outright) an 11-leg Canada-only race
-
Conceded.
-
A one way at leg 2 , wow that's early
-
I miss when I could get excited over a sighting in Vancouver at about this point in the race, because Vancouver is Canada's air gateway over the Pacific :funny:
Those days are sadly over for TAR Canada...
-
I fear it's the wrestlers who are first out :'(💔
-
leg 3 took place in vancouver?
-
leg 3 took place in vancouver?
Looks like it started there, but I don't think it finished there :duno:
-

Eh, the previous one was on CAN7's third episode.
-
Jas reminds me of digiben tar 33..The green neon and all ..lol
-
Who could've guessed that TARCAN's answer to the Golfer Sisters from Season 20 would be stuntcast wrestling divas?
-
Hoping and praying beyond all hope that Leg 3 actually didn't take place in Vancouver and instead we are going to find out that it took place in Surrey or Burnaby instead...
-
TARCAN routes have been a lost cause since the seventh season, so casting and tasks must each pick up the slack.
-
Are they even in BC anymore? There have been no sightings for a few days
-
TARCAN9 may have just set a dubious record for "three consecutive legs in the same province".
-
Man, their budget is scraping more with each year. Hopefully the rest of the route becomes somewhat salvageable, not 3 legs in Ontario.
-
TARCAN9 may have just set a dubious record for "three consecutive legs in the same province".
To be fair, they all seem to be very different types of legs.
Leg 2: Small town (about 5k people)
Leg 3: Natural leg (mountains/lakes/etc)
Leg 4: City leg
-

i think they’ll probably do 3legs in ontario next and then 3 in quebec lol.
-
3 legs in BC in a row :groan: please salvage this route with 3 legs in Atlantic Canada, Nunavut, Quebec & Churchill, Manitoba
-
Well, another leg of basically no sightings :'(

Nonetheless, production could've broken up the monotony by switching the premiere location:
Smithers via Winnipeg -> Calgary -> Squamish? -> Vancouver Island

That would've been too inefficient and expensive, though. As long as they have the same high ratings, they'll always be operating at a surplus and therefore cut the budget every season.
I wouldn't be surprised if Leg 3 was in Squamish or Pemberton (if it was Whistler I think they would've been spotted publicly).
After Leg 4 they'll probably just hop on a plane to Pearson airport and then get three consecutive Ontario legs out of the way. Then head to Quebec for a leg. Then do a leg in the Maritimes. Then finish off the season either within the Maritimes or Ontario or BC.
-
I share the frustration with 3 legs in BC. Never change TAR Canada! :groan:
I suppose Smithers is a new location, Leg 3 is going to have some beautiful natural scenery and Leg 4... well let's just hope they visit new places and have new tasks in the overused city of Victoria!

TARAUS5 started it with six back-to-back legs in Queensland followed by three more in the same season.

Eh, Heroes' Edition began with Lower Mainland -> Dawson City -> Salt Spring Island.
I do agree that TARCAN9 will likely have its finale in Halifax.

Overused? It was used for not even a full leg :lol:

Not to mention that TARCAN2 had a better premiere than all but the first two TARAUS seasons.
-
If we really do have 4 consecutive legs in British Columbia…this thread is about to go off 😂
-
This show's not even beating a dead horse anymore, they ground down the bones and processed them into fertilizer.
-
4 consecutive legs in BC... really?! Hate to say it, but it's becoming clear there's a lack of destinations in Canada that the producers are willing or able to travel to.

Is your username referencing TAR Canada season 9 Production? If not, that's a downright hilarious coincidence.
-
OK. Four consecutive legs in BC wasn't in my predictions. I was expecting an unprecedented three consecutive legs in BC and/or Ontario, but definitely not four. Seeing there will be a full month of episodes in just one province will be fun to observe the fan reaction.
What if they do a fifth consecutive leg in BC? Or will they wait until next season to do that?
We know multiple Ontario legs have to be coming. What if they do three consecutive legs in Ontario and we end up with seven legs total just between BC and Ontario this season? Will folks from the couch be upset? Will it still pull in high ratings because most fans live in BC and Ontario anyway?
I am very very intrigued to see how this plays out. There's a very real chance they don't touch the Maritimes nor the Territories this season (which is what we assumed happened last season).
As a contestant, this would still be a fun experience (which is why I still apply every year).
As a TV viewer, I'm glad I stopped watching at the end of season five.
As an aspiring producer, I am fascinated.

I wish canada goes to usa for a leg or 2 ..its near

FOUR consecutive legs in BC?? This is unprecedented and shocking even for TAR Canada standards! :groan:
I tell you know, the season's cast and tasks better deliver, because this route is been nothing short of appalling so far!

TARAUS5 had 24 legs in Australia. Surely the wider public will survive this.

Amen, with a record six legs in Queensland to start that season.

Queensland had a total of 9 legs during that season. And they visited the same town two times.
They also ended the season with 6 legs in New South Wales, with a brief visit in Canberra, ACT.

Yes 6 legs in one state but TARAUS had an international route all previous seasons, unlike TARCAN seasons which have a mostly domestic route.
-
I get the sentiment but I think we should be wary comparing Canada and Australia. For one Canada has more provinces and territories than Australia does. Plus, when we talk specifically of Queensland, it is probably the most geographically diverse state down there. Sure the first 6 legs of TARAUS5 were located there, but they included visits to a tropical rainforest, an urban metropolis, the outback, an island known for its indigenous history, and the Great Barrier Reef. British Columbia is easily the most geographically diverse province in Canada, but I feel like comparing British Columbia and Queensland is like comparing apples and oranges.

I think that no matter which way it’s compared, we have people here who simply aren’t going to be happy with it. It’s rare to find a community committed to not seeing a positive spin on something they haven’t actually seen yet. It’s preemptive, intentional disappointment.
-
It still depends too on what the rest of the route looks like. They should finally be out of BC, and I expect they'll pop up somewhere in Ontario today or tomorrow :P
-
For those that truly hate this route, I have a genuine question. What would production have to do at this point to make this a worthwhile season? Skip Ontario? Visit Nunavut or Labrador or Nova Scotia? I’m genuinely curious what you would want at this point to be pleased with the route.
-
Unused spots and regions. No GTA legs (I have a hunch they'd eye Brampton for a leg one day). After 9 seasons, Labrador is definitely the big oversight, considering it makes up half the province and is literally in the name.
Also, for some reason production only sees Manitoba as Winnipeg for 3 out of 3 visits now. Lake Winnipeg, Brandon, Thompson, Churchill?

That's actually a good question.
Before answering the question, hate isn't the word I'd use at this point in the franchise. We stopped podcasting at the end of season five (Gord and Wayne stopped doing blogs and podcasts at the end of season five too). I think it turned into comedy since season six when they decreased it to two international legs, and then my jaw dropped when they had the season seven premiere in Kamloops. The jokes wrote themselves. If the audience is upset with this season's route, they were about six years too late to complain. The peak of battling TAR Canada to race outside of Canada happened in season four. Michael wrote an article at the end of season four advocating for improved routes, and the showrunner at the time (Mike Bickerton) responded to his article saying "I hear what you're saying, but we believe this series belongs in Canada as much as possible." I think everyone was allotted that season five window to be disappointed and/or annoyed.
Then you have to accept it as a form of parody and intrigue seeing what they chose for the route from season six onwards.
I'd say skipping Ontario would genuinely impress me. Filming a full domestic season without touching Ontario is something I have never considered would happen especially in a domestic season. If they can avoid Ontario and random college campuses and a Marshall's store that shuts down by the time the episode airs, that'd be a net positive compared to last season. Legs in the Maritimes in the early years were always the most boring legs of each season. Now that we'll have approximately 40 legs in BC and Ontario through nine seasons, the pendulum has swung back to Maritimes legs as being perceived interesting again just because it has become such a rarity.
-
First time they've flown in over a week is crazy.

I give TAR Australia 5 slack, because it was a one off with traveling around in Australia and it was also filmed during COVID. And with 24 legs, and also the borders of Western Australia being closed, some states and/or territories had to have more legs than others. Imagine having 6 legs in Australian Capital Territory :lol:

Visit Nunavut, Yukon and/or Northwest Territories would be awesome. Visit St. Pierre and Miquelon would also be a bonus point to the season.
-
Skipping Ontario? It was wishful thinking, but alas, it's just not to be!
At least we are seeing Niagara Falls again, for the first time since Season One! It'll be nice for the Racers to explore the town and do some tasks around town, since we didn't get a very good go at that in Season One...
-
Niagara-on-the-Lake IS NOT Niagara Falls fwiw
-
Yeah, but they're only about 10 miles apart. They could easily be featured in the same leg.
-
The focus will probably be on wine rather than water.

The route's a lost cause, so it all comes down to the boot order to save TARCAN9.

I'm going to suggest that people here had their minds made up about this season well before leg 1 finished.
-
I said something similar when we found out TAR34 was going to Toulouse, but if we have to have a season based entirely in British Columbia for TARC to even happen then so be it. Remember that this is one of the most beautiful provinces up here, and honestly I would rather have a leg in British Columbia over rural Saskatchewan any day of the week.

Personally speaking, I was eager to see both the cast as well as the challenges.

God work guys :conf:

With Windsor visited, TAR Canada basically checks off the last major city in Ontario today. That and Niagara are pretty good new regions (I don't really count the latter since it was merely a starting line and one task).
Eager to see what they do now. Assuming this is leg 8, they got room for 1 Quebec and 1 Atlantic still before a big city finale. Of course they might also dwell in Ontario for a third.

Leg 8? Yesterday was leg 6 kor or they completed it
-
Assuming this is leg 8
If you count KOR legs are two legs, today is leg 7. If you count it as one singular leg, today is leg 6.
-
You're right. My bad. I counted Manitoba as a leg for some reason.
-
I'm prediction 1 Quebec leg + 2 maritimes legs with finale in Ontario
or
2 Quebecs legs + 1 maritime penultimate leg and the finale in the Maritimes, maybe around Halifax?
-
Craig from last season was born in Windsor so I wonder if he was involved with this leg at all. Like the pit stop greeter or something.
-
Yay! We get a new city visited! Windsor! This has been long overdue! :conf: :cheer: :woohoo:
A massive thanks to WindsorSue for running around all day following the teams for us! What amazing sightings we got today! :conf: :cheer: :woohoo:
-

The latter would be noticeably superior.

Sue is Queen!
-
Saguenay sounds great. Nice to see a Quebec location that isn't on the St. Lawrence seaway! (Not since the infamously disastrous Magdalen Islands leg of S3)
-
Very happy to see Saguenay! :conf: Wouldn't mind a second Quebec leg in Sherbrooke or the Eastern townships. And after hoping we see a lot of Atlantic Canada
-
my guess is 2 legs in quebec penultimate leg in pei/nova scotia and then finale leg at ontario
-
^
Eh, Halifax would be more probable for a finale with the third Ontario leg being the penultimate episode in, say, Kenora.
-
I think that we are on leg 9 right now :)x, so we may b looking at TOP4
-

It's Leg 8
1. Calgary
2. Smithers
3. Whistler area
4. Victoria area
5. Tofino
6. Niagara on the Lake
7. Windsor
8. Saguenay
-
We’ve had three Ontario finales, so I doubt we’d see that as the final leg (let’s be real, the third was a let down). Quebec has had two finish lines, so my money would be on the Maritimes for the final leg (Halifax?) or we get shocked with a territory (would love a Yukon finale).
-
I think we are getting one last 'city leg' probably Halifax or St-John's.
Maybe that's the finale? But they usually alternate with Big city finale and 'nature-small town finale'
BIG: S1: TORONTO
Medium: S2 Ottawa
Small: S3: Vancouver-Whistler (mostly whistler)
Big: S4: Montréal
Medium-Big: S5: Québec City
Small: S6: Banff-Calgary
Small: S7: Toronto-Nort of there
Big S8: Vancouver
-
Ahh Saguenay! A new town to be explored in French-speaking Quebec! Very nice!
Hoping for a good and interesting leg!

I think it’s worth noting that Whistler/Banff are big tourist spots. Quebec City is a provincal capital, and Ottowa is the national capital. Really the only final that wasn’t a major destination was S7.
-
Considering how both are still in and the name's track record in TARUS history, it was about time for TAR Canada to get a winner named Tyler eh? :lol:
Assuming the Windsor leg eliminated our 6th placer, there's a decent chance both of them make the Final 3 at this rate.
-
If there's a second One-Way (unlike TARCAN7's single), then it needs to be Double U-Burned by two other teams in this F6/F5 in order to take out at least one of "luckily christened basic breh and his female teammate whose name starts with a K".

We later learned via photo that TARCan 7 had a second One-Way at that NS apple orchard. They didn't air it because no one used it.

Don't remind me of how Tyler roos was robbed in tarAus 4 lol,still pains me to this day

Toronto?! Just as the route was starting to redeem itself after the 4-leg gauntlet in BC :groan:
Maybe they're planning for the Atlantic finish line, though.
-
It wouldn't be a TAR Canada season without a visit to Toronto! Never change TAR Canada! :funny: :lol:
-
Never change TAR Canada! :funny: :lol:
I mean it wouldn't hurt to change a bit :duno:

I feel like part of this recent quality has to do with Mike Bickerton and John Brunton (who always gushed in interviews about international stops) leaving the show for new endeavors after season 5 or 6. They had a lot to do with the heart of the show as we remember it, now there's just Mark Lysakowski who wants to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

Hope they consider 10 with All-stars and full international route. I would love to see that instead of Toronto, Calgary and Ontario for a milestone season.

Legally this can't happen under Canadian content law.
-
TARCAN's sticking to all-domestic routes based on the last three seasons; therefore, delusions about international destinations speak only to a lost cause.
-
I wish 35 was airing in the summer, so TARCan will have to fight harder for that #1 rating this season will inevitably get every week again on CTV :funny:
-
It’s a real shame people don’t enjoy Toronto legs.
The last two weren't good.
-
I don’t know why this specifically bothers me, but it bugs me how the route itself tends to criss cross. Why do provinces hold non-consecutive legs? Like, why not have three legs in Ontario (NOTL, Windsor, Toronto) and THEN go to Saguenay? I know it’s a very minor thing but it just irks me for some reason. Maybe it’s just me.

Might be because the original show goes around the globe nearly every time and it's force of habit? Lot of people here very reliant on a classic way of thinking about the show, and certain things are just muscle memory.

The ethios of the show is planes, trains ..if there are no planes and trains in 3 episodes, it kinda defeats the purpose .

full international route. I would love to see that instead of Toronto, Calgary and Ontario for a milestone season.
Legally this can't happen under Canadian content law.
Can you explain more please??

Basically, to receive government funding, a TV or movie production must feature a certain percentage of exclusively "Canadian" content. Which in short means a route entirely outside Canada is impossible unless they did it on their own dime.
This law really stifles creativity in a sense, but it protects Canadian productions from being too Americanized.

Thanks! I don't think I knew that!

I don’t know why this specifically bothers me, but it bugs me how the route itself tends to criss cross. Why do provinces hold non-consecutive legs? Like, why not have three legs in Ontario (NOTL, Windsor, Toronto) and THEN go to Saguenay? I know it’s a very minor thing but it just irks me for some reason. Maybe it’s just me.
It's been a thing since TARCAN3 went from BC to AB then back to BC for its last three legs; it's no coincidence that the best routes/seasons avoid this trap, i.e. 1/2/4.

Both Tyler teams making the finale. At this point, you'd be making a mistake if you don't run the race with someone named Tyler.
-
So today is the finale. They really have cut back to a 10 leg race :groan:

I don't think we can say for certain it's only 10 legs. We could've missed a leg anywhere or there could've been another KOR leg that ran all in one day that we missed. A lot of possibilities. I don't think we'll know for certain if it's 10 or 11 until it airs.
-
The only real gap is in between ~ Leg 3-4. Is it possible we missed a fifth BC leg? :duno:
-
Dance,rhythm task in the finale reminds... :clap2: :)x The boys WILL struggle .Nice dance show in kilts

Exactly 💯

"Tyler" seems to be the luckiest name in TAR, and that has now extended to Canada.
-
Considering how both are still in and the name's track record in TARUS history, it was about time for TAR Canada to get a winner named Tyler eh? :lol:
Assuming the Windsor leg eliminated our 6th placer, there's a decent chance both of them make the Final 3 at this rate.
Very strong chance one of them won as well since that crossword may be the final memory task, called it :funny:
-
I'm happy to see Tyler Smith in the finale! Even if I don't watch this season, I'll be rooting for them. To lose so many of his friends at once then go through physical rehabilitation, I can't imagine how the tough the last 5 years have been for him.

The season started on a musical note and ended on musical note :conf:

It would mean that the last 2 winners have had a sob story unlike the last 2 winners of usa.. I have no problem with it but there is a section of fans who feel that they can't do tar coz they have no sob stories
-
Ahhhhh a finale in the Maritimes! Now we're talking! Finally, TAR Canada has delivered something noteworthy about this season! :funny: :lol:

I agree with this 100%. When the Humboldt Broncos crash occurred, I was an amateur sportsman myself (albeit in a different sport), so the crash hit me hard. This tragedy could of happened to anyone. Go Tyler!

It's tragicomic that Race Across the World did a better job showcasing the Great White North than even TARCAN9, but cheers anyhow to RAtW3.

That's what I was saying to someone earlier. When a showcase of your own country gets shown up by a production from abroad, you've got a problem. RATW3 was fantastic.

After a four-season streak of mediocrity in varying shades, the newest addition to the bottom-tier since TARCAN3 has arrived.
(Merci mon Dieu for Cathie and Tricia!)
-
At least season 3 had a budget ;)
-
Admittedly so, including actual episodes filmed abroad (it almost lends itself to a head-canon whereby Canada's Choice tanked their own game on purpose because they knew that Tokyo and Lima were outside the route's scope).
-
Well, that episode 1 title just crushed our small hope in there being a phantom NEL 1st leg in Manitoba. Their budget really has gotten so paltry that they're back to 10 legs :groan:
How I wish TAR35 was airing over the summer to give this poor excuse for an Amazing Race some competition for once, like 10 TAR Australia's battles against Married At First Sight and other ratings behemoths.
-
Eh, it's a relief that both those wretched seasons won't share airtime during Summer 2023 because why double the torture?
-
Optics. I'm fully prepared for TAR35 to be a terrible season as well, but next to this, it'll look like an Emmy winner.

Have they confirmed anywhere that it's only 10 legs? I don't think we ever debunked a possible second Quebec leg...
-
Possibly, but there wasn't much time for one unless it was a KOR. They've never done Quebec legs back-to-back before, and the routes have become so predictable it's hard to believe they'll change now.

Aye, Rihanna's homeland almost single-handedly did that since TAR: Latin America already covered the DR.
