Of these teams left, are any of them women's teams?

Yup! 2 of them in the F6

Stunami overheard a racer say Miramichi is leg 9. I thought it'd be the 8th.

So we did miss one somewhere. Maybe a second leg filmed in one day? (KOR)

Perhaps there was a leg after Elora? I know several speculated that Guelph/St. Jacobs could be visited...

It would mean we have a weird pattern with all these NELs in the middle of the season, with Leg 3 split into two episodes, a KOR on Leg 5, and likely NEL in Quebec, unless they made consecutive NELs.

The weirder thing is the Miramichi may be the penultimate leg. I thought 4 teams in the finale was a COVID fluke, so I'm not sure why TARCan is so keen to do it again. I'm also unsure as to why teams *know* the Race only has ten legs and that the finale will have 4 teams- I thought teams were surprised by both previously?

Perhaps the penultimate leg could have a double elimination.

Those are only 20 minutes from Elora, definitely possible they could have been visited as part of a KOR.

I grew up in this area and St. Jacobs comes to mind as a spot they might like to visit. It's Canada's largest community of Old Order Mennonites, they're very traditional and still drive horse and buggy on the roads (so expect tasks similar to PA on the first leg of Family Edition)

My gut is telling me the finale will be in St. John's, Newfoundland.

-It makes sense with the rest of the route
-To celebrate the 10th season, they started at S1's starting line. They could finish at its last Pit Stop.
-Easily accessible via Moncton or Halifax

Or since they never went to Alberta, second choice would be Edmonton. Since Calgary was just used last year.

It should come as no surprise given the Irish flags and dancing, but the Cheese District, from which we got some Miramichi sightings, is across Water Street from the headquarters for the Miramichi Irish Festival.

Looks like both Colin & Matt and Tyson & Michael made it to Edmonton/the F4.

Well that part at least was right 😅

Does this look like the finale or F4? If the latter, I'm still thinking of St. John's as a potential final city, though Edmonton's airport also opens the possibility of the north (if the wildfires burning in Fort McMurray aren't a factor)

Not sure if it’ll be a factor but the weather here in St. John’s has been pretty foggy and rainy lately. It doesn’t look like that’ll change anytime soon

Looks like both Colin & Matt and Tyler & Michael made it to Edmonton/the F4. The Tyler streak continues!

That would be good but his name is Tyson, not Tyler

Any idea where the finish line is? My guess would be Commonwealth Stadium

If an arena, golf course, or park was closed for a “private event” yesterday, then we might have our answer.

Speaking of which is this golf course in Edmonton?

It is! It's the Victoria Golf Course, more specifically the Greenhouse Restaurant at Victoria

That’s also next to Constable Ezio Faraone Park. Thank you Bookworm. And thank you Kevin Martin.

So Michael & Tyson and Colin & Matt made it to F3. That leaves the third as either Taylor & Katie, Kevin & Gurleen or Lauren & Nicole.

No question Michael & Amari went out in Cornwall, they were 45 minutes after 5th place.

Frankly, I'm shocked to see Michael & Tyson again. They were the team who went 40 miles the wrong way and ended up in Nova Scotia. But that was in the evening, so they would have gotten to Miramichi and hit an HOO.

If Kevin was hanging out at the finish line’s restaurant when several sightings were around 8 PM, then he & Gurleen were likely eliminated in NB.

That leaves one of the F/F teams to make it to the final 3?

Both of the female female teams made it to the final four and the finale was four teams in the leg. Kevin and gurleen were eliminated in New Brunswick because they were active on social media accounts two days ago.
