Topic: TAR Canada 2: SPECULATION and DISCUSSION of Spoilers

[WindsorSue]

After looking at the timeline, what's the point of flying to Hong Kong then back to Canada then back out to France? Surely there's a country inbetween these stops.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just country hop after each leg? like the American edition does? Instead of flying back to Canada before the final leg lol

They would have to use an airline other than Air Canada which is still the major sponsor of the show. Maybe next year?

[WindsorSue]

Looks like the Indian couple is still in it....and I think that's Rob and Ryan's backpacks on the cart.

[Maanca]

I wonder if they actually stopped in New Brunswick. If so, that covers all 3 of the missed provinces.

Hi WindsorSue....
"Looks like the Indian couple is still in it....and I think that's Rob and Ryan's backpacks on the cart.Looks like the Indian couple is still in it....and I think that's Rob and Ryan's backpacks on the cart."

I hope that those are Rob and Ryan's backpacks, but I am not sure. Did we see their backpacks in one of the pictures for comparison?

And I am pretty sure the couple pictured there are Canadian (perhaps of Indian decent).

Yep. It also looks like the Hockey Girls are still there.

[WindsorSue]

Apparently Province House is all decked out for the visit tonight by Charles and Camilla. I wonder if production was hoping the confusion would disguise the stop there. hahaha

[Maanca]

Yep. It also looks like the Hockey Girls are still there.

We won't know until the show airs, but I'm getting the sense the hockey girls could be a pretty strong female team, which is great because Amazing Race hasn't had enough of them

I wouldn't exactly call Vanessa & Celina from last season a strong team, they had about as much bad luck with navigation as Caroline & Jennifer yet, like in Iqaluit, they found the strength when it was needed.

I think Vanessa and Celina were lucky most of the time. They certainly had more strength than they realized. They certainly provided a lot of comic relief, but I just hope this season we don't hear any lines like "This is the hardest thing I've ever done!" I don't know if my forehead can take any more >

Why only Air Canada themselves? Why not showcase how far you CAN go?

3 tofino to hong kong
4 hong kong
5 macau
6 whitehorse
7 Winnipeg
8 toronto
9 paris
10 montreal
11Charleston?
12 ? Finale coming up, expect decoys

Elim spec
1 team pink ff
2 team toronto ff
3 mm in black, looked like production
4 rex and bob
5 non elim?
6 mf in yellow
7 interacial mf or mm twins
8 non elim
9 interacial mf or mm twins
10 non elim
11 pete and mickey
12 not yet

I think hockey  has the best shot at winning.
Indian couple may be second Or third.
Rob and ryan may be second or third.

I agree but I think there's possibly another country after Macau before they fly back to Canada, I could be wrong but speculation aside.

[Heliox]

So F4 are Pete/Mickey, Hockey girls, (?indo-cdn) Couple and ... ROB AND RYAN!! I am so excited that R&R are still racing.

[Maanca]

Yeah, I thought you guys said Rob & Ryan were gone quite a while ago. I wonder what happened.

[Jimmer]

They could be potential decoys.....

[WindsorSue]

They could be potential decoys.....

This is a possibility but please see the four pics I posted:
Montreal airport (Joseeleabee) Rob and Ryan; Pete and Mickey; Natalie and Meaghan waiting in line
Montreal airport (Melissa Foote) East Indian couple
Province House PEI (Chad Heron) "Pete" in front of judges(?)
Province House PEI (Chad Heron) Natalie and Meaghan at the cluebox; "Pete" in background.

So the way I see it, these 4 teams were traveling together, and two of them were seen actually participating.

[Heliox]

Yeah, I thought you guys said Rob & Ryan were gone quite a while ago. I wonder what happened.

They were not pictured in Hong Kong and Macau I believe. So I resigned them to an early boot position. BUT they resurfaced in Winnipeg then Paris.


And I would LOVE to see one of Ryan or Rob dressed as Anne of Green Gables if they are visiting Lucy Maud Montgomery home in PEI.

[Maanca]

I pretty much knew they'd do something related to Anne of Green Gables if they visited the province, it's their biggest claim to fame!

But it's a cool that it's a place I've been to, I went to Lucy Maud Montgomery's house once as a kid. Don't remember much, though.

[WindsorSue]

Is this Rob and Ryan inside the Parliament building?

[georgiapeach]

Looks like! So we have conf of them and Hockey girls...

Must be aware of decoy possibilities.

I don't know Ottawa, anyone have a guess for Finale Mat??

Hockey girls? If u mean Helene's reply to me...she said "man/woman" and I am thinking the East Indian couple? They had red jackets too. There is a huge park way up the canal, also an agricultural farm. I will look into other possibilities.

Helene's reply to me:
Helene ‏@HSP308 44m
@Sues_Reality saw 3 teams - man/woman in red track suits, don't recall others. Saw peeps running of the plane at our gate...

Helene ‏@HSP308  · 5m 
@xxx came in from moncton via montreal arrived about 8:20 a.m

Why fly from Charlottetown to Moncton to Montreal to Ottawa. Makes no sense. So what I believe is Moncton (New Brunswick) was a leg right after the Charlottetown leg.

[paradoxinee]

The guys in Black and white shirts after them look like a team, too. They do not bring camera or something.

I was just saying the same thing, basically to Peach...What I am thinking is they could have driven over the Confederation Bridge virtually undetected.

[Maanca]

So Ottawa is potentially the final destination city? Makes sense, it is the national capital.

[fossil-racer]

The hill cam gives us what?
Rob and ryan may still be in it.
