I would have been fine with any of the final three teams, but Kim and Penn were the ones I was pulling for from the beginning.

I think TAR did a good job making a "pandemic friendly" version of the race, but I don't know that it will work to do more races this way.

When Cayla left the map and the clue at the painted door, should leaving the clue behind be a penalty? I feel like there hasn't been a penalty on the US Amazing Race in ages.

These guys are just awesome. I picked them from the start and besides the Penn’s overthinking at the train detour, I felt they basically were never in trouble. So happy they took it.

That video is just great! I was really pulling for them, they will certainly be invited back at some point. I think they are literally one of the best teams to have ever played this game.

Yup, I wonder if this changes game design. Kim might have broken the game.

If we, any of us, ever go on the Amazing Race and we are super fans, here's is the preparation.

1. One needs to learn to drive stick shift
2. Learn how to swim or row (water stuff)
3. Learn to read maps and navigate
4. Go bungee jump or skydive, get the fear out of you.
5. Learn some French of Spanish
6. Eat scorpions, get the fear out of you
7. Learn maps and flags
8. READ THE CLUE!

Fell free to add.

I kind of feel like this tip might run counter to the 'race' aspect of it....but "slow down and pay attention/attention to detail". I can't think of anything right off the top of my head, but it often feels like when I'm watching the show I'm rolling my eyes as people are going too fast and miss a detail that has them spending a LOT of time fixing it.

Oh! Like my two guys, the singing policemen, getting their entire belt story wrong, because they didn't LOOK at the example that was sitting in front of the judge the entire time.

Or I guess this could be boiled down into "do it right the first time."

Have not heard any news on Amazing Race Canada for a while, not sure when filming will start. I do have it on good authority though that one of the early legs, 3 or 4 will be taking place in southern AB. Don't know the exact location yet but the vehicles they will be using to drive themselves in are sitting and waiting in Lethbridge and have been for about a month now.

They have always aired it from July to September so they should be racing soon.

I believe the previous seasons starting shooting in mid-April, so that would line up.

Are those the Red Chevy Equinox that have been sitting at Murray's? I got into an argument with a buddy that they were a fleet for some specific reason
