Amazing Race Canada

Did anyone watch it ? What did you think ?

Watched it. Thought it was really good. Thought the gold medal winning host did a good job, but he needs to come up with his own phrases and not just parrot Phils.

well thats what it is...the amazing race..just a rip off of the same program....I was disappointed though that they are just racing around Canada....pretty lame to me...I think around the world is better and more difficult because of language barriers and longer distances..Kinda neat that kelowna was in there...but now iv seen it....im done with the show. Same thing different way.

I watched it - it was cool to see some local attractions on the show. However, not sure I agree with some of the people they have on the show. Why do they need "celebrities" on? Why two gay couples?

Anyways, the show was pretty good otherwise.

Symbonite, If you saw the trailer for next week's show the teams run into language barrier problems in the lower mainland. There are plenty of beautiful places in Canada and I'm looking forward to seeing them. Maybe you should just stick to American TV shows, they have celebrities on their reality shows too.

I agree about the host, he needs a fresh new script writer.

Was neat seeing the Okanagan places, as they are driving down 97 I'm saying, there's the Petro Can, there's . . . .

Who is the other gay couple ? I thought it was just the cowboys ?

Why was this thread moved here, should it not be under entertainment . . . .

I guess with Hal and Joanne in it, the mods figure it's fitness.

I thought the other male "best friends" were also gay? Seemed like it anyways.

I should also mention, I like more variety. I didn't think they needed two gay couples (or best male friends), two sisters, etc. etc. They could have had a female best friends, mother/daughter, etc. instead.

I'm guessing they went by most interesting rather than certain profile, though. Normally I could care less, but maybe the variety aspect for me just because it is the Canadian version.

I don't mind it just Canada, either. I haven't watched Amazing Race in years, but I wanted to watch this one because of the Canadian scenery and tourist attractions.

I think it's cool that it's Canada, get to see some parts of our country that haven't seen.
Mr. Montgomery needs to loosen up a bit buy maybe will as the show goes on.

I enjoyed this season - fun to watch the winners.

The concept of the american show is pretty cool (langauge and culture barriers), but admittedly, I have never watched it.

I would never watch the Canadian version... it's only in Canada which doesn't seem near as hard or interesting.

They went to China and France - the episode in Normandy was moving.

[Bubalouie]

Yes that was very moving. I think it's a great show, get to see parts of Canada that would never see otherwise.
Have to wonder how the American one will do as it's now being shown on Friday nights.
