Circles of dough, stuffed and folded over. Boiled, then fried. The trick being of course they don't break open when boiled. But who would call their female partner "poobah"? LOL

From Wikipedia:

Grand Poobah is a term derived from the name of the haughty character Pooh-Bah in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (1885).[1] In this comic opera, Pooh-Bah holds numerous exalted offices, including "First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral... Archbishop of Titipu, and Lord Mayor" and Lord High Everything Else. The name has come to be used as a mocking title for someone self-important or high-ranking and who either exhibits an inflated self-regard or who has limited authority while taking impressive titles.[2] The formal term for the practice of holding multiple offices is "dual mandate".

And don't forget, Fred Flintstone was the Grand Poobah of his Water Buffalo Lodge!

Caps are up!

[WindsorSue]

There is a modified preview on the TARC site, with the teams anxious, then excited over an upcoming announcement. Leg 7 international?

[claude_24hrs]

Caps 27-45 are definitely MTS Centre in Winnipeg.

Yes...that's Mick E. Moose, the Jets' mascot.

Odd to give an ICE challenge to two Olympians!

Odd to give an ICE challenge to two Olympians!

Well we pretty much knew, being a Canadian Amazing Race, that a hockey task was going to come up sooner or later. But why did it have to be in the same season as these two?!

[WindsorSue]

Odd to give an ICE challenge to two Olympians!

I know. I was wondering about the same thing. I am waiting for the complaints to start  LOL But then, Mickey singing Rock at Whiskey Dix.

Perogi making is one side of the detour. Hockey is the other.

The singing task takes place at Whiskey Dix, you can see the word Whiskey in one of the caps.

Whiskey Dix could be the Roadblock location.

Here's the thing I don't get...they don't look like they are in that much of a rush - and it has nothing to do with having any experience making pierogies.

New promo on fbook teases a bombshell announcement.

Its been on the official site for a couple of days now. It's a modified ending to the preview at the end of ep. 5. It appears to be them opening clues, either early morning or just before dusk. Probably just destination of next leg?

[Dånooky]

Double Your Money, perhaps?

[WindsorSue]

In the "bombshell announcement" segment, Natalie and Meagan are standing at the corner of Portage and Main (a well known intersection).
There is a poll on the show site, asking fans what they think it is. The choices are: Mickey and Pete cut their hair; Jinder and Sukhi get on wrong plane; Rex and Bob get married; or Other...leave your guess in the comments.
I said "the next leg is in Europe". The comment was not approved. 



Here's the Google streetview to compare

[Bookworm]

I love how some people picked Option 2

So funny! Or Mickey & Pete cut their hair? Like that would happen. LOL. I think they would take a penalty first.
