Rather than burying the thread in the Contests forum that no one goes to, I thought I'd try putting the thread in here this time around to see if it generates more discussion.

CTV has announced that the fourth season of the Amazing Race Canada will premiere on Tuesday, June 28 at 8:00pm. It looks like this year there will only be 10 teams. This means that in four seasons, they've never had the same number of teams in any race (Season 1 had 9 teams; 2 had 11, and 3 had 12). I don't know if that means we'll see more non-elimination legs or just fewer episodes.

Some reported destinations (from Wikipedia) include: Yellowknife, NWT; Prince Rupert, BC; and Kingston, ON.

A few of the sponsorships have changed from past seasons, which means that some of the prizes have also changed. Air Canada and Petro-Canada are no longer sponsors, so the free flights for a year and free gas for life prizes are gone. Hotels.com is a new sponsor, and they are providing a trip around the world to the winning team. Chevrolet is back again as a sponsor, but this time, the winning team will get their choice of any Chevrolet vehicle the teams drive during the race.

The winning team will also take home $250,000, as in the past.

Mentos is back as a sponsor, so expect another odd challenge involving Mentos in some way. MEC is also on board as a new sponsor, so all the teams should have nice backpacks. There will probably also be some challenges that require extensive use of MEC products. I don't know if DQ is back as a sponsor. If they're not, I'll miss the random "make a Blizzard/decorate an ice cream cake/identify the Julius flavour" challenges of the past.

From what I remember, there has been a lack of teams from Alberta in past seasons. That changes this year, with three teams from Alberta. There's a First Nations father/daughter team from the Enoch Cree Nation by Edmonton; a team of twin sisters from Edmonton; and the first legally-blind Amazing Race contestant and his wife from Lethbridge.

If you're interested in doing a draft of the teams to give yourself a rooting interest in the show, indicate your interest below. Otherwise, we can just discuss the show as it air.
