The Amazing Race Canada

TARC is your typical reality show of desperate people or NOT actors running around the world for a dollar. The Camera man always seems to be able to keep up without a problem. 1 to 3 seasons should have been enough.

Running around the world with their heads cut off is boring.

What can be learned? Geography Verdict: No one should call this entertainment.

If I were #jillianmaclaughlin I would be so embarrassed. The absurdity of her screaming constantly at Emmet is disgusting. Whining and acting like a 5 year old. It almost made the season unbearable to watch. Thankfully most of the other teams were great.

Really enjoying this show. It's just so great to see Canada and learn so much about it.

I have liked both the american and canadian amazing race shows because winners were decided on skill, not alliances and luck. It was disappointing to see that two teams were able to choose two other teams to have to wait because of a penalty (my term). This took away from a winner being decided by the team's skill. I also do like teams being able to assist other teams in competitions. Teams should be able to complete challenges using their own abilities.

I hope future seasons change the format so that teams have to compete on their own without help from other teams and a team can't hinder another team's progress by putting up road blocks.

I was very much looking forward to the return of the Amazing Race Canada, after a two-year (COVID-induced) hiatus. Sadly, I was disappointed with the opening episode and only made it halfway through the second before turning it off.

While product placement and cast selection was at times questionable in previous seasons, this year has hit a new low in the over-the-top placement of advertising. The contestants this year were picked from a list that would appeal to the producers (ie. Sponsors) target demographic, with none of the engaging and offbeat characters of previous years.

So sorry to see this great show fall so far, so quickly.
