Boo.

Agh this week will drag on!

Wish they would have done one of those "interviews with the first half of the teams" instead. I watched the top 20 moments. Don't need to see them again.

I'd like if they brought back some of the previous seasons teams to give a break down of the season, behind the scenes sort of thing instead of the top 20 moments.

This is good business idea. One of you should jump on it. There is no Amazing Race Canada podcast out there. Not a Canadian one (RHAP in the stats doesn't count). Not one that I can find anyways.

Review the race and get guests/experts on.

As I predicted two weeks ago, we had another (final?) non-elimination leg this week. With the Race returning to Canada next week (and all teams likely on the same flight again), this week essentially meant nothing other than Jillian and Emmett winning a trip to Cancun.


Here were this week's departure times:

1. Steph & Kristen : 9:09am
2. Rita & Yvette : 10:35am
3. Joel & Ashley : 10:45am
4. Jillian & Emmett : 10:58am
5. Frankie & Amy : 10:59am

Steph & Kristen powered their way to an hour and a half lead on the previous leg -- and that was without using the Express Pass.


At this point, I think the only thing that can stop Steph & Kristen is if they're the only team U-turned next week. If I remember the U-Turn rules correctly, I believe that Jillian & Emmett and Joel & Ashley cannot be U-Turned again, and Steph & Kristen and Jillian & Emmett cannot use the U-Turn again.

A final leg with Emmett & Jillian, Steph & Kristen, and Joel & Ashley would be a pretty good one.

[Otto-matic]

Ugh when Kristen cut her finger. Blegh

Cuba looks like an amazing place to visit too, dang!

I'd be happy with just about anything except "top 20 moments." It feels like a re-run halfway through the show, except for small clips.

[Amethyst]

Loved the Cuba leg! It's been a long time since I've been there. This leg almost makes me want to return.

I think the top three teams tonight are definitely the top three teams in the race. I think Jillian and Emmett and Steph and Kristen are the top two, but in a final leg anything can happen, and I could see Joel and Ashley beating them if the tasks played to their strengths.

Jillian and Emmett aren't annoying me as much now, so really I am just hoping that Frankie and ? don't win.

[Fuzz]

Gah, hate non-elimination legs. Frustrating thinking your 2 teams(and my wife's 2!) are the final 4, then realize all was for naught. Then see a double U-turn is coming up which usually means the team eliminated isn't the worst. I just want to see the best teams have a chance at the final.

[Otto-matic]

Rita and Yvette are in tough tonight with speedbump for being saved in the last leg. Potentially ( along with Steph + Kristen & Frankie + Amy) a u-turn as well.

Should be a good episode teeing up the finale in two weeks!

[Weitz]

geez. They have a golf challenge in the next episode. Seems unfair as it looked like someone had played while the rest of them were duffers.

[csnarpy]

I guess it was still open season for the U-turn, glad my teams made it.

[getbak]

Another Alberta team bites the dust, and now there are four...

• Otto-Matic : Rita & Yvette / Steph & Kristen
• csnarpy : Joel & Ashley / Frankie & Amy
• Fuzz : Steph & Kristen / Jillian & Emmett
• Superflyer : Frankie & Amy / Julie & Lowell
• getbak : Anthony & Brandon / Joel & Ashley
• EldrickOnIce : Jillian & Emmett / Anthony & Brandon
• GirlySports : Julie & Lowell / Kelly & Kate
• mile : Kelly & Kate / Stéphane & Antoine
• Amethyst : Stéphane & Antoine / Anne & Tanya
• You Need a Thneed : Anne & Tanya / Rita & Yvette

This week's departure times:

1. Jillian & Emmett : 12:53am
2. Joel & Ashley : 2:35am
3. Steph & Kristen : 2:43am
4. Frankie & Amy : 3:17am
5. Rita & Yvette : 4:17am

Even with everyone essentially starting at the same time, the top teams are still able to pull way ahead each leg. I'm sure it will be the same again to start next week.

"I think one of my ovaries burst"-Ashley.

So there was that.

[Otto-matic]

Tough faceoff tonight for the teams, sad the season is coming to an end already. Just felt like it started last week!

All in all quite an enjoyable year - with a fantastic final leg ahead of us.

[You Need a Thneed]

Disappointed that Gillian &Emmitt couldn't argue themselves into last in some random leg.

I have a hard time believing that Frankie and Amy could have managed to win the final leg anyway, though.

Go Joel and Ashley!

[getbak]

The Final Three are the teams that seemed to be the most likely to get there since the early legs. Fuzz goes to the finale with both teams still alive.

• Otto-Matic : Rita & Yvette / Steph & Kristen
• csnarpy : Joel & Ashley / Frankie & Amy
• Fuzz : Steph & Kristen / Jillian & Emmett
• Superflyer : Frankie & Amy / Julie & Lowell
• getbak : Anthony & Brandon / Joel & Ashley
• EldrickOnIce : Jillian & Emmett / Anthony & Brandon
• GirlySports : Julie & Lowell / Kelly & Kate
• mile : Kelly & Kate / Stéphane & Antoine
• Amethyst : Stéphane & Antoine / Anne & Tanya
• You Need a Thneed : Anne & Tanya / Rita & Yvette

This week's departure times:

1. Jillian & Emmett : 9:05pm
2. Steph & Kristen : 9:08pm
3. Frankie & Amy : 9:45pm
4. Joel & Ashley : 11:40pm

Yet another 2+ hour difference from first to last on the previous leg.



I know Ashley was worried that Joel wasn't going to finish the challenge, but I wonder if Frankie & Amy would have been able to overtake Jillian & Emmett if they didn't waste their time trying to learn both the English and Latin names?

It should be a good finale with the three strongest teams going head-to-head in Montreal.

Frankie and Amy put 4 cups of vinegar into their taffy recipe rather than 4 teaspoons or 4 tablespoons.

How were they allowed to advance?! Maybe they had to re-do it, but they just didn't show it.

They just boiled it out. It didn't need to taste right, just look and weigh right
