Topic: TARC 9 Speculation and Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers

[Maanca]

This marks 10 years since TAR Canada began. They could do a switchback thing in Niagara Falls and revisit Oakes Garden Theatre (the first starting line) or the first task at Niagara Butterfly Conservatory.

Kinda like TAR25 did with its starting line.

[Jjw26]

I don't think Tofino was an NEL

[Parasparopagraho]

How come?

[Jjw26]

How come?

Well Kayleen & Tyler, Kat & Tyler and the girls haven't been seen since then yet so there's no proof really.

[Parasparopagraho]

So the F/F isn't the only unaccounted team contrary to what willzito2018 implied.

[Maanca]

Team Drag Race is the only one seen in Niagara so far. Could be anyone.

[Parasparopagraho]

Kimora/Starzy did clear the BC gauntlet.

[Jjw26]

Team Drag Race is the only one seen in Niagara so far. Could be anyone.

Derek & Jas, Ben & Awar and the unknown M/F team were both seen at the airport yesterday so that confirms them for this leg.

[Parasparopagraho]

^

The proper spelling for the name of Ben's teammate is Anwar; both gents look well primed to outdo the BBCAN9 crossover from last season.

[Jjw26]

The woman who posted the photos at the pit stop said that she believes Derek & Jas checked in first (said they were the first to drive into town) then the unknown M/F and then Kimora & Starzy in third.

[Max K]

Teams seen at Victoria airport enroute to Ontario:
Ben and Anwar
Jas and Derek
Blue M/Purple F

Teams seen in Niagara on the Lake so far are:
Jas and Derek
Kimora and Anastarzia (btw what are their real names?)
Blue M/Purple F
Tyler (amputee) and Kayleen

missing (one or two may already be out):
Lily (blonde) and brunette F
Joel and Shayla
Tyler and Katrina (blue touques)

[Jjw26]

Tyler & Katrina looked happy in their Pit Stop video in Leg 5 so it's not looking good for the other two unfortunately.

[Jjw26]

Looking through that video I think I see:

Unknown M/F talking with Ben & Anwar

Kat & Amputee Tyler sitting down

Kayleen, Starzy, Jas, Derek & Hockey Tyler talking.

No idea where Kimora is in that video but maybe they're with the unknowns and Ben & Anwar and just covered by the camera man.

[OMGitsGARRET]

So the F/F isn't the only unaccounted team contrary to what willzito2018 implied.

We knew they were likely out a few days ago already. Today's group sighting almost confirms this is probably the final 6. All of them standing around outside one shop, probably for some type of Hours of Operations thing.

My personal spec is:

Leg 1: Gisele and Gail
Leg 2: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 3: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 4: Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 5: Lily and Red Haired F
Leg 6 (Today): NEL

No confirmation of this being an NEL, I just think they wouldn't be down to final 5 already.

I've busy during this season so far and haven't paid much attention to it, but if someone was eliminated today -- and even for the future eliminations -- we'd probably be able to tell within 24 hours of their elimination anyway, even without any sightings... iykyk.

Also shoutout to Jjw26 for providing so many sightings for this season!

[Kiwi Jay]

Based on what we’ve been seeing on social media and with sightings, it’s likely this:

Leg 1: Gisele & Gail
Leg 2: Eddie & Allison
Leg 3: Non-Elimination
Leg 4: Joel & Shayla
Leg 5: Lily & partner
Leg 6: Non-Elimination (most likely, as there are only 6 teams left)

[stunami]

Technically, Tofino could also be NEL, and this an elimination!

According to someone on Twitter, teams were spotted around the Isabel Bader theatre in Toronto about 30 minutes ago

[OMGitsGARRET]

So yeah looks like leg 6 NEL/KOR and if they finish leg 7 entirely tonight we'll be down to final 5.

[Maanca]

Sounds like they checked in and jumped on a charter bus somewhere. So we can expect another leg tomorrow.

Do they ALWAYS do KOR in Ontario? That's one thing that's become completely predictable about TAR Canada routes at this point

Only S4 and last year if I recall correctly.  I think for the general viewer there's no real predictability there, but if people are on this forum looking to make those connections, watching every episode ardently, and looking for spoilers, then there aren't really going to be surprises in this regard no matter how formulaic (or not) they make it.  RFF is a fraction of a sliver of the viewership and not really representative of how the show is viewed normally.

[stunami]

If they are back in Toronto, we can expect another leg in Ontario, which city is left? lol
Windsor maybe, or maybe a full leg in Oshawa or around Toronto.

[Leafsfan.]

So yeah looks like leg 6 NEL/KOR and if they finish leg 7 entirely tonight we'll be down to final 5.

Next leg will be run tomorrow

From yaapp7 on TikTok

ok, this video is funny - teams running left, teams running right = no one knows which way to go

[Parasparopagraho]

My personal spec is:

Leg 1: Gisele and Gail
Leg 2: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla
Leg 3: NEL/Eddie and Allison/Joel and Shayla

Correction: Leg 2 is 100% the F9 boot.
