Season 7

The sixth season of The Amazing Race Canada (also known as The Amazing Race Canada: Heroes Edition[1]) was a reality game show based on the American series The Amazing Race. It features ten teams of two consisting of everyday Canadian heroes.[2] The grand prize includes: a CA$250,000 cash payout, a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip for two around the world, and a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Redline for each.[2] For the sixth year in a row, Jon Montgomery returned as the host.

The season premiered on July 3, 2018[3] with the season finale airing on September 11, 2018. Engaged first responders Courtney Berglind and Adam Kovacs were the winners of this season of The Amazing Race Canada.[4] They were the first male/female team to win in the Canadian edition of the show.

Production

Development and filming

Hatley Castle in the city of Colwood, British Columbia, served as the backdrop for the Starting Line of the sixth season of The Amazing Race Canada.

On October 12, 2017, CTV announced that the show was renewed for its sixth season.[5]

Filming of The Amazing Race Canada 6 began on April 23, 2018, when the show's Facebook page broadcast the start of the Race during its first of six "Jon on the Road: Presented by Chevrolet Facebook Live",[6] which featured Devon Soltendieck of etalk interviewing host Jon Montgomery at the Starting Line, Hatley Gardens in Colwood, British Columbia, before the Race commenced.[7] The five subsequent livestreams featured Jon during filming of the Race offering hints about destinations on the racecourse.

During the airing of the episode for Leg 10, a message in white on a black background ("Dedicated to the people of Fredericton, New Brunswick") indirectly recognized that the Fredericton shooting had occurred since the filming of the leg and prior to the episode airing.

This season's visit to Fredericton meant that all 13 of Canada's provincial and territorial capitals were featured at least once in the then six seasons of the Canadian Race. This was the first season in the then six seasons of the Canadian Race that did not visit the province of Quebec.

Season 5 winners Sam Lambert and Paul Mitskopoulos were the local Pit Stop greeters of Leg 6 in their hometown of Toronto.

This was the first season of The Amazing Race Canada to place the U-Turn boards at the Detour decision points rather than after the Detours.

Casting

The cast included Olympic bronze medalist in skeleton Mellisa Hollingsworth. Courtney Berglind previously appeared in episodes 23 & 24 of Big Brother Canada 4 to compete in a Head of Household award challenge on behalf of her sister, houseguest Kelsey Faith.[8][9]

Future appearances

Martina & Phil appeared on an online weekly series companion series for The Amazing Race Canada 7 called "Tastes of the Race", in which they faced off in a cooking competition inspired by the season's locations while using Dempster's products.[10]

Marketing

Chevrolet continued sponsoring the show and was the sole sponsor of the Facebook Live events.[1] Canadian Tire's outfitter brand Woods also continued their sponsorship from the previous season. New sponsors are Alcon Dailies contact lenses, Dempster's Bakery, Royal Canadian Legion and SkipTheDishes.[11]

  • A red team placement means the team was eliminated.
  • An underlined blue team's placement indicates that the team came in last on a non-elimination leg and had to perform a Speed Bump during the next leg of the Race.
  • An underlined leg number indicates that there was no mandatory rest period at the Pit Stop and all teams were ordered to continue racing. The first place team was still awarded a prize on that leg. An underlined team's placement indicates that that team came in last on a "continue racing" leg and were not eliminated.
  • A purple ε indicates that the team had previously found an Express Pass and used it on that leg.
  • A brown ⊃ or a cyan ⋑ indicates that the team chose to use one of the two U-Turns in a Double U-Turn, respectively; ⊂ or ⋐ indicates the team who received it. If ⋐⋑ is next to a leg number, it indicates that the second U-Turn was not used.
  • An orange + next to a leg number indicates that there was a Face Off on that leg of the Race, while an orange − indicates the team that lost the Face Off and received a pre-determined time penalty.

  3. ^ Four teams (Martina & Phil, Courtney & Adam, Dylan & Kwame and Leanne & Mar) were unable to check into the Pit Stop as they had stepped on the Pit Stop mat without their backpacks, and were told to go back to retrieve them before being allowed to check-in.

  4. ^ Leanne & Mar initially arrived 4th, but were issued a 2-hour penalty when a severe onset of claustrophobia prevented Leanne from completing the zombie paintball challenge.
