Next time: Edmonton.  Detour: Elevates racer rivarly. There is a dance/singing task. Double one way, new twist. Looks like its detour related.

[Maanca]

About time Canada introduced a twist of their own! (Remember when they claimed to "invent" the Face Off). Curious to see how this One Way thing will work.

Who said the title?

[BourkieBoy]

Interesting leg this one!

A good mix of new tasks and a sad elimination at the end of the episode!

Very interested to see what the One Way twist is!

[Maanca]

By the sound of that name, I'd guess it's like a U-Turn, instead the team that gets it has to do the Detour they chose twice.

[Linda BC2]

Instead of u-turning another team maybe the One Way is choosing the detour of another team?

[NumfarPTB]

It is rare for myself to really "hate" a team, but Dave & Irina reaction at the mat just reinforces my impressions from leg 1. It might be one of the rare occasions I really hate a team, despite them being very competent racers.
And the ending, was the 2nd team that fell through trouble during self-driving in this season. Wonder if will become a theme.

Curious where this Double One Way will be placed. It does seem to be related to the detour, but will the board location be placed before or after the completion of a detour task. Also, will the detour be the final task of this leg, or the one of the first things during it. And this entire paragraph should probably be in the spec thread, instead of this one which is about leg 2.

[Maanca]

Just finished watching online, that looked like a tougher leg than last week. I wouldn't have expected planting seedlings to be the more difficult Detour, but apparently it was due to all the specifications.

So glad Lauren & Joanne made it! And moreso Gilles & Sean.

Dave & Irina are quickly turning into Canadian Justin & Diana. She got this week's title, and next week sounds like another by them too. Honestly, I don't mind, though. This is the kind of villain team Canada's sorely needed.

[dryedmangoez]

Best leg and episode of TARC in a long time!
See, they can come up with a good Leg design even in resort towns or rural towns if they want to. lol
