I’m ready. I’m watching The Amazing Race Canada in the meanwhile, but it’s just not the same.

Didn’t know that was a thing! I’ll check it out.

Loved season 1 - I especially loved that the entire season was shot in Canada and that it provided such a wonderful overview of the country. Did they continue that trend throughout the other seasons?

The currently airing season is Season 9, and I only started watching with season 8. Those seasons (plus season 7) were entirely within Canada. Seasons 2-6 included international travel.

Where do you watch Amazing Race Canada?

Looking forward to the new season…

Streaming on CTV

I can’t wait! And I think I saw it’s “regular” teams not social media celebrities, etc. I’m hoping it’s still free on the CBS website, even if on a delayed schedule, because I have no other way to watch it.

For those that do like celebrity versions, the upcoming season of The Amazing Race Australia is entirely composed of teams with at least one “celebrity” competing for a AUD 100k prize for their chosen charity. The usual prize is 250K, so I’m not sure why they dropped it for charity.

Yeah! I love that show!

Just saw Phil interviewed and looks like the express pass is back – yea! – and you’ll have to eat gross things quickly to get it.

I can’t believe this show has had as many seasons as I’ve been married.

Technically, the 36th season filmed, since the 35th season was filmed before the decision to air 90 minute episodes.

And let’s give a cheer for 90 minute episodes.

Season starts Wednesday

Thanks! Just set my DVR.

Oh - I thought these were episode titles for a reality-TV series about college admissions:

  • “Amazing Race…”
  • “Survivor”

… complete with food challenges and airport drama.

You know, there is no network tv this fall, maybe we should just have a bunch of reality tv threads!! :slight_smile: I’ll be watching Survivor too. I have no idea how I’ll manage the list of 5 or so I’ll have on my agenda! I might be chiming in kind of late!

What a fun episode. I wouldn’t have liked the tightrope, but I would be game for the rest. Bangkok is such a beautiful city.

Love the mandatory u-turn.

My early favorites are Rob & Corey and Garrett & Joel. Who else has teams they’re rooting for?

For some reason that tightrope one didn’t scare me. But eating those bugs … no, thank you.

I like all the all-male teams and then Steve and Anna Leigh.

ETA: I also liked the team that lost tonight. :neutral_face: And the last team to not be eliminated.
