The Amazing Race Canada 8 Explained
The Amazing Race Canada 8 is the eighth season of The Amazing Race Canada, a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Jon Montgomery, it featured ten teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race across Canada. The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, a trip for two around the world, and two Chevrolet Silverado ZR2s.[1] This season visited five provinces and travelled over 20000km (10,000miles) during eleven legs. Starting in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, racers travelled through Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and New Brunswick before finishing in Vancouver. New twists introduced in this season include the On Ramp, which was a task that gave teams the chance to reenter The Amazing Race Canada; the Pass, which forced a team to stop racing until another team passed them; a double elimination leg; and four teams racing in the final leg. The season was originally scheduled to premiere on CTV in July 2020; however, after the COVID-19 pandemic forced production to postpone the season for two years due to travel restrictions between selected Canadian provinces, it premiered on July 5, 2022 with a preseason special etalk Presents: The Amazing Race Canada airing on July 1.[2] [3] The season finale aired on September 20, 2022.
Best friends and Broadway performers Catherine Wreford and Craig Ramsay were the winners of this season, while siblings Jesse Cockney and Marika Sila finished in second place, sisters Franca and Nella Brodett finished in third place, and Brendan and Connor McDougall finished in fourth place.

Development and filming

After the COVID-19 pandemic led to CBS suspending production of the thirty-third season of American edition of The Amazing Race[5] and Network 10 delaying the production of fifth season of The Amazing Race Australia, before eventually filming that season around Australia,[6] Mike Cosentino, the President of Content and Programming at Bell Media, stated in mid-March 2020 that "decisions around the upcoming eighth season will be made with the health and safety of the Racers and the crew as the top priority."[7] As the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada worsened, Consentino stated two months later that pre-production for the upcoming season had been halted due to safety concerns.[8] On June 23, 2020, the show announced on its social media that the season had been postponed until 2021.[9] Insight Productions CEO John Brunton then stated in an interview on June 3, 2021 that the season would be delayed a second time to 2022 at the latest for safety reasons.[10] Bell Media confirmed the second postponement at upfronts a week later with Justin Stockman, Bell Media's vice-president of content development and programming, announcing that the show would be a part of CTV's summer 2022 schedule.[11] [12]
On April 26, 2022, Ivanoh Demers of Radio-Canada reported that crew members were at La Grande Roue de Montréal.[13] Teams were in Lethbridge, Alberta on April 30.[14] On May 1, the show filmed in Fernie, British Columbia.[15] Filming in Canmore, Alberta occurred on May 4.[16] Racers were spotted in Kelowna and Vernon, British Columbia on May 6 & 7.[17] [18] [19] Filming took place in Belleville and Picton, Ontario on May 12.[20] A task at the Richmond Night Market occurred on May 21, the date when filming officially wrapped.[21]
For the first time in the series, host Jon Montgomery doesn't introduce the teams; instead, the teams introduce themselves.
This season introduced two new obstacles: the On Ramp and the Pass. The On Ramp was a task that allowed teams to find an On Ramp Pass and return to The Amazing Race Canada. The Pass was an obstacle that is similar to the Yield. The team that received the Pass would have to wait for another team to arrive and pass them before continuing on. Also, for the first time in Amazing Race Canada history, four teams competed in the final leg. Similar to the sixth Vietnamese season, all four remaining teams in this season crossed the Finish Line.
Casting
