Yeah, I agree. Hopefully CTV doesn't mess it up, and we get another season that travels the world.

No, its currently being filmed so I'm updating the destinations as its happening. I'm pretty positive were gonna get a Quebec and Atlantic Canada leg eventually.

Hollywood.

Filming rapped today. All discovered teams and destinations will remain under spoiler tags until official annoucements are made.

That TAR: Canada logo is ratchet as hell.

Giving me TAR season 1 teas.

Hope this is as good as TAR: Aussie version.

Hollywood.

It won't be as good as the other versions. This one will lack the culture shock, and langauage barriers (well we might see some in Quebec) that the others have.

There's still the possibitly of some airport drama too, and maybe the teams will be entertaining.

But some of the tasks I've uncovered are lame as hell.

CTV better not screw this up, so there's a second season I can try out for.

Olympian Jon Montogomery has been confirmed as the host.

Not too bad of a premiere. I'm only really here for the muscle dudes and the brothers.

Hollywood.

Not the "first flight alliance" express pass thing from Amazing Race 22 being repeated here. Hopefully Darren & Kristen won't end up f*cking up as bad as John & Jessica did.

Also, Jon Montogomery exceeded my expectations and turned out to be a great host (so far.)

Hollywood.

Is it just me, or are the tasks actually harder on this, then the American one.

Anyways, team Body Break actually slaying so far.

And kudos to them for mentioning the floods during the Alberta leg.
