So barring any other surprises, the F4 in the finale are Craig & Catherine, Jess & Marika, Brendan & Connor, and Franca & Nella, yes?  Is that correct?

Correct. If another team surfaces, then we may have 2 decoys in place. For now, these 4 are our finalists.

Yes, exactly.

This might explain why not a single team has followed Craig or Catherine yet... 😬

It's funny because that's the vibe I got from first seeing their Instagram pages - that these two are going to be intense. They're both actors, but also ultra-beef and Craig's a celebrity personal trainer. We've seen in the past how personal trainers translate to racers.

From the racers we've identified so far, I'm getting the sense overall like TAR Canada cast for drama this time more than they ever did before. Why not, right? Dave & Irina brought a lot of good and bad publicity, but they sure as hell got people talking about the show regardless.

On first impression, I kinda hate them already. I could see them being cocky and arrogant. "Neurotic" as described on Twitter, and this person just saw them like on that event. Dave & Irina were painful and cringeworthy to watch and they made F4.

Interesting, we might have 11 Teams. Diverse cast, something that TAR Canada does, the F/F's seem to be strong.
Same with the another user, noticed that some Racers have some sort of social media following with verified status.

I'd rather have a villain team if it makes the season interesting rather than everyone being nice and boring like TARCAN5/6.

Also that comment probably first Bitch Moan Squeal more, so I'll throw in some spec on my end - I wonder if this task taking teams up to the evening might be a memory task like what TARCAN6 did where its a run through the market finding things task but the items have something to do with the legs prior?  :duno:

There still remains the chance to be the first TARCAN season to spend four legs in the same province, eh?

(Still a percent less repetitive than TARAUS going to Queensland for 9/24 episodes.)

All 10 spoiled teams made it to leg 3 at least right? I wonder what the NEL pattern is.

I'm curious too. Fossil might be right that there was an 11th team and they did a 25/26-style final 4.

London-Belleville are clearly a KOR because there was no break time in filming.

11th place? - unknown team (eliminated in Leg 1 or Leg 2)
10th place - Durrell Borden & ? or Alicia Clark & Siginaak (eliminated in Leg 3 - Fernie)
9th place team - Durrell Borden & ? or Alicia Clark & Siginaak (eliminated in Leg 4 - Banff/Canmore Area)
8th place team - Kathy Hunter & Jully Black (eliminated in Leg 5 - Kelowna)
7th place team - Cassie Day & Jahmeek Murray Taylor (eliminated in Leg 7 - Belleville and Prince Edward County)
6th place team - Tychon Carter-Newman & Cedric Newman or Veronica Petcoff & Beverly Cheng
5th place team - Tychon Carter-Newman & Cedric Newman or Veronica Petcoff & Beverly Cheng
F4 is known and I am lazy to copy their names here.  :funny:

Is this correct?

I feel like we are having a final 3 and that one of the teams are a decoy...
And i don't want them to be, but the one that makes the most sense would be the girls because they were early

The brothers were apparently right behind them.

Would TARCAN care that much about spoilers considering eliminated teams were allowed to be active on SM during filming? Where was the last time decoys were used? Twinnies in NYC during S21 finale?

Yeah, and apparently they were wearing flip-flops, a dead giveaway they weren't actually racing. S21 is the last time I heard of them.

I'd be surprised if decoys were brought back after all these years, but Canadian production is well aware of RFF. Mike Bickerton is on this forum (though he left TAR to produce other shows after season 5)

I found that photo. One of them really was wearing flip-flops, lol.  :lol:

JUST A REMINDER HERE:

RFF DOES NOT SPOIL THE FINAL 3 Finish Order or Winners.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, we don't really have a sense of the finish order because we only saw one task that could have been anywhere on the final leg :)

It is better that way, certainly.

Isn't it F4, in this case?  Or was there a mid-leg elimination like TAR25-26?

There are theories that a decoy team was used.

Based on past airing schedules, TARCAN8 should have a projected premiere date of July 5th if CTV maintains what they did throughout the last decade.

Yeah, and I expect CTV will start releasing the teams in about the next week. It's always been mid-June around the 15-18-ish

CTV also carries TAR US, they have to plan out the schedule so the two versions don't overlap.

The TARCAN8 finale should air the week of September 13th on the condition that it's a standard eleven-leg race with an episode every week, which should clear the way for the TAR34 premiere later that month (c.f. odd-numbered American seasons between 14 and Social Media Edition).

There's no premiere date either, but CTV also carries TARUS in sync, so to finish by about mid-September, it's close.

In fairness, we don't know if CBS will start the season with a 90-minute Survivor premiere and BB finale before switching to Survivor, TAR, and Love Boat.

They did stuff like this before. I remember for season 6 CTV first released a video of the starting line showing them from the necks down.

Unclear what this has to do with CTV, an entirely separate and independent channel.

Well, they've been posting mystery teasers from the back of a team every hour today, and they're up to 8 as of now. We shall soon find out if there's 10 teams or 11.

Cool way to do promos. As a marketing background nerd, this is something I haven't seen before.
