The Amazing Race Canada 3 review

One of the struggles for a reality competition show is that unless you want to be really underhanded, you cannot really control the outcome of your show. It’s up to whoever manages to do the best job, and also keeps themselves safe from elimination on a weekly basis. This season on “The Amazing Race Canada,” […]

We feel like at this point in “The Amazing Race Canada” season 2, we had a show that was really running on all cylinders with a number of super-likable teams going into the finale. At this point? Well, about that… We feel for the editors who had to craft Thursday night’s leg in Edmonton, given […]

As we start to approach the finale for “The Amazing Race Canada 3,” we’re starting to get the sense that this could end up being one of the most competitive ends to any season that we’ve seen. Teams are starting to have to play a little dirty at times, and we don’t just mean that […]

In some ways, we’d say that the emotion we’d use to describe Wednesday night’s new episode of “The Amazing Race Canada” is “relief.” We have a new #1 team, and most importantly the final non-elimination of the season is over. We don’t like saving that one until close to the end, since at least this […]

Over the past few legs of “The Amazing Race Canada,” it is appeared that Gino & Jesse were an unstoppable force. They’ve won multiple legs, and they even managed to almost beat Brent & Sean last week despite the two of them using their Express Pass. So for a split second, it almost felt Wednesday […]

What in the world is it with teams on “The Amazing Race Canada” this season taking frequent time penalties? In many ways, this is definitely frustrating to see, given that the majority of the time our sentiment is that if it is something that you can mentally or physically do, you are better off pushing […]

This past week, “The Amazing Race Canada” had what was in our mind its worst leg ever. The design of the challenges was off, there were avoidable mishaps that took place, and while the Face-Off twist was a fun idea in theory, it flopped miserably in practice. Also, confusing rules on time penalties made matters […]

We have watched a lot of “The Amazing Race” over the years. We’ve never missed an episode of the US version, and we’ve seen the entirety of the Australian and Canadian versions of the show. Yet, we’re not sure we’ve ever seen a mess of a leg quite like the one that aired on CTV […]

For the first time on “The Amazing Race Canada” this season, there were some stumbling blocks on Wednesday night’s journey through Halifax, and not just in terms of the outcome. We should of course start with the ultimate elimination of Hamilton & Michaelia, mostly because despite what the show tried to give us in the edit, […]

Three episodes into this new season, and “The Amazing Race Canada” manages to continue to put other versions of the show to shame. They crammed in travel, three solid tasks, and some drama into the span of an episode, and the pacing never felt too rushed. Sure, you could also say that this show so […]
