Topic: TARCAN 10 Speculation and Discussion of the LIVE Spoilers

[Xoruz]

This thread is the WORKZONE of our spoilers.

This is where ALL the spoiler discussion of the TARCAN 10 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread. It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean.


 
As always, per RFF's practices, we do not a future location until it is believed that the teams are safely underway. We would never want to put a team in jeopardy or cause them distress or interfere with the actual running of the race. Info on future legs may occasionally be protected for those reasons. But if you have info to share beforehand, we would love to know, so please PM or email me! Spoilers are treasured!

[I ♥ TAR]

Do we have photo evidence of teams at Niagara Falls?

[tennis33]

Yes. Same start line location as season one!

[Xoruz]

I wonder if it could be all stars? Season 10 and season 1 starting line..??

I'm more so wondering if they'll lean into the anniversary aspect. Could we get Switchbacks?

[jeanyesbc]

Starting line Oakes Garden Theatre, Niagara Falls, ON

[kyleisalive]

Did they already kick off?

[Xoruz]

Did they already kick off?

On Tuesday afternoon. If the rest of leg 1 wasn’t in Niagara, then it concluded yesterday.

Gibsons is about half-an-hour drive (25 km) from the Sechelt entrance to Porpoise Bay.
There are two access points from Vancouver:

• If teams travel to Gibsons first, BC Ferries goes from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Langdale, about 5km north of Gibsons
• If teams travel to Porpoise Bay first, there's a seaplane base on Porpoise Bay that serves Sechelt. Teams could travel here from multiple spots in Vancouver, or theoretically other parts of BC.

Due to TARCan's budget, I'm going to assume the first is more likely, particularly since the Gibsons filming permit included yesterday and today. Perhaps teams took the last ferry of the day on the 25th and stayed overnight. This would be particularly useful if teams flew into Vancouver for Leg 2 after the first leg took place around Niagara Falls.

[Maanca]

I'm guessing Niagara Falls was leg 1.

It was a starting line in season 1, but never actually featured as a leg itself. Last year they went to Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is 30 minutes away

the amazing race spotted?

“Walking around Granville island in bc with family and talked to some restaurant and one of the camera guys.”

Teams spotted in Granville Island for a likely leg 3:

• John Ferguson & partner (photos 2 & 3)
• Lauren & Nicole (Blonde Twins) (photo 5)
• Tyler & Michael (photo 6)

And I want to say picture 4 shows either Michael & Amari OR Colin & Matt. Tough to tell with one team member bending over.

[tennis33]

From the Twins clue it looks like the assist is back! Also photo four look like a team from Newfoundland from the flag on the hat. Not sure which team it is idk names yet

[Bookworm]

Unsure whether which of Vancouver/Penticton is leg 3 and which is leg 4, but, regardless, the picture from Penticton is in front of the S.S. Sicamous Museum and Heritage Park.

The only Vancouver sightings were at Granville market. Could be a sponsor task before flying to Penticton like season 8 with Marshall’s?

[tennis33]

From the photos in Pentiction the teams I see are


Lauren & Nicole, Michael & Tyson, Colin & Matt, Sam & Brad, Taylor & Katie, and John & Connor. Theres 2 people 1  in a black toque and 1 in a red jacket that I can't Identify from the photos from the car roadblock sidelines.

The five teams not directly spotted from what I see are
Kevin & Gurleen, Trystenne & Eva, Michael & Amari, Olus & Dorothy, Olivia & Julia


The red jacket could be Olivia and Julia or Olus and Dorothy since they were both in red at the start I believe. Idk who the black toque could be.

[Bookworm]

9 teams in Richmond/Vancouver means that Leg 1 (Ontario?) and Leg 2 (Sunshine Coast) were elimination legs.

Still undetermined whether or not Penticton and Vancouver are one leg, but I find it hard to believe that teams would complete one task in Granville Island, vote for a U-Turn, and then... fly to the Okanagan for a Detour, U-Turn, and Roadblock? It also looks like Michael & Amari are performing a task at Parker Place, with a light and camera crew set up around a (task judge?) on the stage. The addition of a task in Vancouver makes it seem more likely that there's a full leg there, as we now know of two tasks and two Route Markers.

At the same time, would TARCan have a U-Turn into a KOR? Or, are teams voting at the start of Leg 4 in Vancouver after a KOR/short rest period before flying to Penticton for the leg?

The timing is weird, but I'm team Vancouver is leg 3 and Penticton is leg 4. Since teams are flying to Manitoba today, I think we have to be on the fifth leg, because- and this may change once we learn where leg 1 was filmed- I don't believe an all-domestic season would only film two legs (2 and 3) in British Columbia. It's the best province to film in at this point in the year.

[Bookworm]

I cannot make out all of the nine teams on the U-Turn Board, but we know that (1) all of these teams are safe:

Lauren & Nicole, Michael & Tyson, Colin & Matt, Sam & Brad, Taylor & Katie, and John & Connor.

Further, (2) Michael and Amari are our seventh team of the top 9, seen voting at the U-Turn.
(3) I still don't know teams' names, but we see the F/F in Red and F/F in Blue on the U-Turn Board. Thus, Olivia & Julia and Taylor & Katie both make the top nine.

(4) As for the remaining spot, I think Kevin & Gurleen are the picture in the top row, second from the left. The man looks like Kevin; further, I sped the audio in the video down, and we can hear Michael & Amari talking through their U-Turn Vote. It sounds like (can't 100% confirm due to audio quality) that they're saying, "We're working with (?) Gurleen, Kevin's strong."



I think this means that Olus & Dorothy and Trystenne & Eva are our first two teams eliminated

[tennis33]

[/quote]

Olus and Dorthy are in pictures in Sunshine BC so they aren’t first out (unless that’s leg one then they could be)

[tennis33]

from the U truncates vote the teams on the board I see in order from top left to right is

?, Kevin & Gurleen, Taylor & Katie, Michael & Amari, John & Connor, (bottom) Sam & Brad, Olivia & Julia, Lauren & Nicole, Colin & Matt

I assume the first photo is Michael & Tyson

[Maanca]

I didn't find anything out of Russell. The town's public invitation said the closures were for 2 days. Guessing today is for Jon and setup, tomorrow we'll see the teams.

But it did mention the arches of Main Street.

[Xoruz]

Correct. They’re leaving Penticton today and will be in Manitoba tomorrow. Today is just Jon.

Only flights out of Penticton are to Calgary (1 morning) and Vancouver (1 morning & 1 evening).

[Maanca]

Based on past years, there's a definite chance they'll double back to BC for a third leg after this. Hopefully not.

It's their 10th season. Even on a domestic route, they should put a strong effort into this one

[tennis33]

Could Regina be leg one in a KOR the continue to Russell for part 2. Kinda like Niagara to Windsor last season?


Edit: never mind John is in Russell already

It's near the border with Saskatchewan, more convenient to get there via Regina than it is from Winnipeg.

Also, this is not the same Mosaic Stadium that was featured in Season 1. That was torn down in 2017

From SaskToday. https://www.sasktoday.ca/highlights/the-amazing-race-canada-season-10-takes-regina-by-storm-8689519

One taxi after another arrived at Kreos Air – some elated and celebratory. One team however tearfully embraced in a hug – seemingly eliminated from the competition.

I have a hard time believing that this is actually an elimination; even if teams performed a task at Hotel Saskatchewan, two tasks (including the one with watermelons at Mosaic Stadium) is abnormally low. I think this is far more likely to resemble TARCan 1's territory double-feature, where teams took charter planes mid-leg. A team is probably just upset that they're on the last charter plane, but the quote is interesting and certainly worth pulling from the article.
