The Amazing Race Canada (2013– ) User Reviews

Great Adaptation

[smooth_op_85 · 8/10 · 25 December 2021]

I really enjoy this show. I have been mostly to Ontario and haven't seen much of The Western half. I enjoyed the One Way (making a team stickk with one specific detour) and the different challenges, where they have to do simulations that emergency staff have to do (like plugging up leaks in a boat or returning a pulse to a flatlined patient)

While it can still be as dramatic, it is a great way to see Canada,

If you'd like to see the beauty that is Canada, this is your show. They DO go to other countries, but I like that they stay in Canada for the most part.

Frustrated that this show takes away from skill.

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 would be embarrassed

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.

Amazing way to see Canada.

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

Truly jumped the shark

[northernthunder2010 · 5/10 · 21 July 2022]

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.

Right on trend

[Dion_A_Pangallo · 1/10 · 7 July 2023]

As the title says, season 09 is right on trend.

The contestants, consisting of the demographics you would expect this year, yes, those ones, heavily outnumbering all others assuring a most certain win.

I turned off episode 01 precisely at 2 minutes and 39 seconds for this simple fact. Its supposed to be a game show, but instead what we're given is a big smack of agenda driven deviancy right in the face.

What once was a fun little family show has now turned into nothing more than blatant propaganda. The entire franchise and powers that be behind it should be ashamed and embarrassed of themselves for this disgusting display of deviancy.

RIP Amazing race.

I can't believe its Not Amazing.

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.
