The Amazing Race Canada is back for its third season and we are back covering it just for you! This year TAR Canada has increased their number of racers to twelve and have also added a new challenge to the race that can dramatically change the racers position. The Face Off is a challenge where teams compete head to head and no teams can advance until they have won the challenge by beating their opponent. The last team at the face off has to wait out a penalty! This race has just gotten tougher! Take that TAR US you need to up your game.
In the end, only one team can win the THE AMAZING RACE CANADA and the grand prize valued at close to $1 million dollars, which includes “gas for life” from Petro-Canada, a $250,000 cash payout, the opportunity to fly for a year anywhere Air Canada flies worldwide in Business Class, plus two Chevrolet Colorado Trucks. Lets not waste anytime picking our favorites here they are! Don’t forget to follow them on twitter, the links are provided in their bios, and support your favorites all season. Just remember – It’s all fun….BE KIND! Don’t forget to tune in on Wednesday July 8th at 9pmEST for the premier episode!
