TARCanada just needs to leave the damn country more, I'm not ready to see the qualify dip back down next week just because they're back in Canada. I like a lot of the teams individually - Kenneth and Ryan are the only pains (and even they've mellowed out lately), and Andrea and Ebonie are the only team that doesn't excite me at all - but the cast isn't really all that dynamic. I feel like I'm just watching a bunch of teams run the race independently from one another.

I agree, they must not have the money to be properly exploring the world. Theres little interaction between the teams also as you have said. They barely even comment on one another, and theres not been a U-turn yet, I like when the race has polititcs and alliances and the introduction of the U-turn was one of the best things that happened imo.

I really like Andrea and Ebonie, they seem like really nice/positive people and seem to have personality to me.

Episode 6. Although the leg/activities itself sucked, I did enjoy the episode because of the confessionals/teams/drama
Spoiler:

I hate the brother/sister team, who needs friends...

Rooting for Sam and Paul, Andrea and Ebonie and Karen and Bert

I've enjoyed this season. It's not as good as last season but the teams are definitely likable this season and I'm rooting for multiple teams which draws me into watching. You can tell its budgetted with the places they travel and the activities but despite that It's been really enjoyable.

Headie 10-08-2017 12:55 AM

All caught up on the season:

- I still LOVE Karen & Bert, they're so cute to watch and are clearly enjoying the experience
- I still HATE Kenneth & Ryan, they're annoying as hell
- I agree with what's been said in here that everyone seems likeable enough and there's plenty to root for
- Ivana whining about her "broken back" for two whole legs and then not mentioning it once in the most recent leg <333
- Happy with the NEL's so far
- Thought it was dumb to u-turn Andrea & Ebonie as "one of the strongest teams" when they're messily inconsistent and haven't shown themselves to be that strong? Like, u-turn a team that's already been and gone to ensure the strongest team (Kenneth & Ryan) finish last?

Most importantly though, why the **** are they bringing back that stupid ass "FACE OFF" twist next leg, it's the dumbest feature ever and it screws teams over for no reason whatsoever, if it means the end of Karen & Bert I'll fume

Headie 10-08-2017 01:02 AM

Also Andrea (Adam's sister, not the other one) looks SO MUCH like Christina Salgado from BGC9, the resemblance is uncanny

i hate the face off, its usually like a sport so the older teams/non athletic teams flop.

And yeah Andrea and ebonie are either in the top 2 or bottom 2 like each leg

My prediction to win is either Sam/Paul or the siblings.

Only team I can't see winning [via edit] is probably Korey amd Ivanka - the rest have all been heavily featured.

Macie Lightfoot 14-08-2017 07:26 AM

Finally watched last episode and it was a hoot between Andrea and Ebonie just being terrible at navigation, Adam and Andrea inadvertently screwing over their alliance with Andrea and Ebonie because of how bad they are at navigation, and Paul and Bert being ****ty test takers :love: I still think Andrea and Ebonie are largely boring but they kinda started to click with me just a little little bit this leg. And Kenneth and Ryan really haven't been that offensive since the third leg so I really wouldn't have been that mad if it was an elimination leg lol.

Macie Lightfoot 17-08-2017 04:38 AM

Pleasantly surprised that this leg wasn't nearly as bad as the preview looked, and I'm not fussed at all about who was eliminated. Next leg looks good too and duh, it will be bc they're leaving Canada again.

Headie 23-08-2017 05:02 PM

What a dumbass #ClueTwist that was, thank GOD it was a NEL because I would've been SO pissed if we lost Karen & Bert because of it

I was literally so shocked when Adam & Andrea were shown as team #3 at the pit stop. TAR CAN is way less predictable/obvious than the US version which is why I love it.

Out of the remaining teams: Karen & Bert > Korey & Ivana > Sam & Paul > Adam & Andrea > Kenneth & Ryan (the one without the moustache is low-key hot though)

Macie Lightfoot 27-08-2017 10:29 PM

Another decent enough leg. I've said it a bunch of times, but it's really the only thing I have to say -- it's not a bad season exactly, but just a very flat one.

I knew it was a non-elimination as soon as we were told there were two signs at the end, it just seemed obvious.

Cannot stand Karen, I find her loud and obnoxious and I think she plays up to the cameras too. Haven't disliked someone as much as her on the show for a while.

on the next leg

Spoiler:


Very sorry to see Adam and Andrea go, I thought they were likeable. If the boring surfers had got to the u-turn board second they might have u-turned Karen and Bert to give themselves the best chance, but it was not to be. I'm not sure the final two teams were at the bee task together, I think it may have just been editing. Lots of tasks in the leg, but most of it really wasn't that hard at all.

Macie Lightfoot 30-08-2017 10:05 PM

except that Karen is....... the complete opposite of how you described her but okay.

Headie 30-08-2017 10:47 PM

Karen & Bert overcoming their speed bump and not getting u-tunred <333 Didn't care for Adam & Andrea so no loss. I think we all know which team I want out next before the final :laugh:

Are you ****ing kidding me @ a Face Off at the Final 4???? Lmao what an absolute joke, why do they insist on doing this every year :conf:

Her true colours are showing!!! More faces than the tower clock!! Ghetto aggressive cow!

Macie Lightfoot 31-08-2017 04:57 AM

Sad to see Adam and Andrea go, I found them oddly likable and relatable and they seem like fun people to hang out with, which is definitely what you have to look for more this season rather than looking for Good TV. That being said, a necessary sacrifice bc I loooove how Korey and Ivana's atrocious luck/navigating skills are becoming part of canon now with that being Andrea's main motivating factor to keep going at the soup can sculpture task :joker:

As long as Giver doesn't win I'll have my favorite winners of TARCan this season which is fun, but then again the bar is set INCREDIBLY low so it's really not that much of an accomplishment, but still something I felt like pointing out.

Headie 07-09-2017 12:00 AM

Once again, **** the face off

Literally the most pointless, anti-climatic, predictable, uninteresting twist ever and for some reason it re-appears every season???

Ugh, Karen & Bert are honestly my favourite team in years, I love them sfm :love: My season faves ALWAYS finish 4th in TAR CAN, it's so annoying.

Korey & Ivana for the win!

Macie Lightfoot 13-09-2017 01:06 AM

yayyyyyyyyy my fave winners of the franchise... which speaks more to the franchise itself than anything else but still!

Headie 13-09-2017 10:43 AM

Predictable winners but I'm just glad it wasn't Kenneth & Ryan!

Pretty good season overall :clap1:

starry 13-09-2017 01:33 PM

Boring winners, getting the good taxi at the start obviously helped them but the edit won't tell us by how much. Otherwise it was exciting until the edit suddenly slipping into making it obvious they were the winners towards the end of the puzzle challenge. The puzzle itself was good though the memory aspect didn't seem as hard as it could have been.

Ding-dong, Mustache Boy is dead!

DouglasS 28-08-2019 10:36 PM

RIP :(

Wasn’t a fan of them as a team but they were harmless and seemed like nice and inoffensive in reality, especially when compared to other teams
