Topic: TARC 9 Speculation and Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers

[smiley]

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.

[Maanca]

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.

[NumfarPTB]

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!

[georgiapeach]

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

What fun!

[StuckinARutt]

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

What fun!! We'll look forward to hearing about your adventure!

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.

[Maanca]

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.

[Xoruz]

Only got a brief glimpse, but I think the finish line is at the Bonaventure Anchor.

[stunami]

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?
