Topic: TAR CANADA 8 Speculation and Discussion of the LIVE SPOILERS

[Parasparopagraho]

Heroes' Edition already did so with its 9-7-6 sequence for a cast of ten teams (compare Unfinished Business's 11-9-6 with a more standard number of eleven).

[Avid]

Still seems to be plenty of teams for this late in the race. It's looking like the TAR31 pattern. Burn off the NELs early, from then on it's every team for themselves (which imo is a nice way to hold the suspense when it matters)

Leg 1: 10 EL
Leg 2: NEL
Leg 3: 9 EL
Leg 4: NEL
Leg 5: 8 EL
Leg 6: KOR
Leg 7: 7 EL
Leg 8: 6 EL
Leg 9: 5 EL
Leg 10: 4 EL
Leg 11: Finale

It's looking expensive to have so many teams, running  so many legs . But OK 

[Parasparopagraho]

Eh, it's the third all-domestic route for TARCAN with quite a budget saved over from the hiatus of the last couple years.

Leg 11: Finale

Based on this:

10th place - unknown unsighted team.
9th place - Team 4 - yellow MM team.
8th place - Team 8 - FF team with red backpacks.

Is this correct?

Covid checks
Housing
Transportation
Crew testing
All this and more for 16 cast members for 7 legs. that is expensive. I thought they eliminate more just to cut the cost..

[Parasparopagraho]

True, but the cumulative cost of all the above would still be less pricy than overseas airfare.

[Parasparopagraho]

That'd be quite a contrast from the previous visit, which admittedly needed a Detour.

[Maanca]

Not necessarily. Yerxa made an Instagram post from a restaurant bathroom a few days ago. There were too many teams left in Belleville to be done yet.

[Leafsfan.]

Yea I think we have at least 2-3 legs left.

5 days since the last sighting of them crossing the Ottawa River and I couldn't find a trace since. We've surely missed a leg. By now, the next time we see them should be the finale.

Crazy how they've managed to vanish in their own country twice. This happened for the week after Fernie.

Sorry, this is a semi-Bitch, Moan and Squeal post, lol. It is beginning to irritate me if this truly is what's holding up TAR34's kickoff.

[Parasparopagraho]

Based on past TARCAN routings - the penultimate leg should be Moncton, NB with a finale in/around Halifax (,NS) unless the Maritime Provinces still have stringent entry protocols.

[Maanca]

The race is over. Tychon's back on Twitter and on a tweet/like spree right now. (He hadn't posted since April 18)

[Parasparopagraho]

Unless he got eliminated before the finale and is posting from either his home or the sequester hotel.

I think this is exactly what is happening.... though we are at the end of the race. 50/50 tbh

[Avid]

I don't think production moves around with racers phones and belongings,in that every eliminated castmate would receive theirs at the time of elimination. They keep it at the first hotel which is far from the race pitstop

[Avid]

I am the only one who still thinks that the divided teams of 4 at the rail station is a hamerotz LA million twist where  eliminated teams fight for a spot on top 5 ....Thats y the race ended this week.. There is no way 4 teams were eliminated between Saturday and Friday.... Tar Australia 6 used the twist of two different start lines from hamerotz LA million...so I suspect tar 34  will borrow from tar Israel too.. I guess tar34 will b a old school vs new school just like tar israel 8 or another tar Israel twist of including a A +celebrity in the mix..it seems tar executives want to push viewers to the successful tar Israel

[fossil-racer]

We can't confirm the race is 100% over. Give it a day or 2.

Tychon is definitely out if he's active on Twitter.

They are in BC for sure though. They've moved from Ontario!

[fossil-racer]

Pretty sure race is over. A crew member posted a pic on a plane earlier so pretty sure they are heading home!

No further sightings have come up. It's been a great season! The detective team did what they could! Sorry if this was not the outcome you wished for!

[Maanca]

It's sunset in that picture. Did TARCan do a finale at night? That's a first for them.

[Maanca]

MM Team #3 made it to final 3. That's a much better shot of them. They look like twins.

Spoke too Soon: We are live for the finale!

[Avid]

The first male twins in history of Tarcan ..ok that's new  I think the first twins in Tarcan ever 

[jeanyesbc]

There was Pierre and Michel season 2 TARC

[Maanca]

So our final 3 is M/M #3, a M/F team, and a F/F team who "appeared to be winning" (at least at the Night Market). Thanks, Fossil for asking!
