Amazing Race Canada 2

[kaisin82]

past 2 episodes were great. But i do think that the abseiling challenge was a bit boring...the hockey girls did well in every challenge, i hope they win in the end. The other 2 teams were pretty inconsistent. so guess it's down to girls, boys, gays

At the start of the season, when I saw that DQ was one of the main sponsors of the show, I was wondering when we'd see them do a Blizzard-making task.

I didn't think they'd actually have one.


I laughed when Jinder was complaining about how they had blown their "huge" lead. They started the leg one minute before the hockey players, and something like 7 or 8 ahead of the dudes. They only team they had any significant lead on was R&R. If they hadn't taken the penalty and driven past the museum, they might have been able to maintain enough of a cushion to stay in the final three, but the flag task seemed to be a big equalizer and the result would likely have been the same.

If the times they showed were accurate, they left Charlottetown around 4:30 and had to drive to Shediac, which is about a two-hour drive. That means the DQ "birthday parties" were shot at about 6:30 in the morning.

I don't understand why Jinder didn't take on the final rappling task and asked Suki to do it. You would think Jinder would do better in that physical task than Suki in all likelihood.

It's likely a strategic move to even out the Roadblock numbers.

Had they made it to the end the final RB is usually a memory challenge which is Sukhi's bread and butter.

I don't believe they had a choice.

Last week, when they showed a close-up of the clue for the Roadblock, it said that both Sukhi and Audrey were required to do the Roadblock. They didn't show the clue this week (at least that I saw), but I assume it was the same.

I'm not sure what the rules are, but it looks like one team mate can only do a maximum of 6 Roadblocks prior to the final leg (after this week, all remaining teams plus Sukhi and Jinder have all done 6 road blocks each).

Stoners won. Megan should have done the difenbunker task, Natalie was always a little absentminded to me. The Difenbunker task was the differential of the race as all other tasks took about the same time to complete.

The taxi driver really messed up Ryan and Rob at the beginning. I think it's silly for the picture frame task that you can continually ask for inspections. A wrong inspection should incur at least a 15 minute penalty.

I was cheering for the girls throughout, but Mickey and Pete were so damn likeable. Well done, boys!

[Johnny199r]

So glad Mickey and Pete won. I thought the girls were completely classless and poor losers. They gave such attitude to others when they weren't in first place with their snide comments. Mickey and Pete were such nice guys the entire time.

Oh yeah, the girls putting their war paint on every single day, even when their tasks started at 4am was ridiculous.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

So happy Mickey and Pete won. They had fun the whole race. Ryan and Rob had the worst luck, I feel bad for them. The hockey girls were too intense, did they have any fun?

[darklord700]

What about the stoners taking their pants off at the end?

We are already known to be the reefers capital of the world. This win just validates it.

[timmy89]

Ugh I can't believe of everyone that those guys won Right from the start I did not like their attitudes/egos, and I generally can't stand hippie/cocky type guys like that. Someone please get them a haircut and some proper clothes.

The girls absolutely deserved to win, they killed it the whole way and deserved it so much more.

Fun? This is about winning big $$$. I'd be sooo stressed and intense the whole time lol.

Dr. Sidney Freedman: You know, I told you people something a long time ago, and it's just as pertinent today as it was then. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

Absolutely you should race to win but you should enjoy yourself along the way. You're doing crazy things around the world, take a moment every now and then and enjoy it. I thought Mickey and Pete had fun while racing and I think that's why so many people wanted them to win and not the hockey girls

With the money, trucks, free gas and free flights on the line, it takes certain characters to have fun. I hope the money doesn't do the stoners more harm than good.

Got a little nasty there on After the Race.

[Komskies]

I wonder what was said? Seems like Rex said something inappropriate.

[getbak]

From Duthie's reaction, I think Rex either called the Gelinas brother an "a--hole", or possibly something worse.

[darklord700]

I think the show's format needs to change a bit. The last leg was bascially an even start for all three teams because they took the same flight.

The can easily delay giving the clues to the contestants after they had landed at the airport by certain amount of time. I don't think the winners should keep on winning the entire show. But I also don't like the fact that Rex and Ryan got an even start with everyone on the last leg.

[You Need a Thneed]

It certainly decreased the drama a bit on the show, that for every flight, all the teams were on the same flight. Doesn't help that Air Canada was a major sponsor, I suppose.
