Season 6

The seventh season of The Amazing Race Canada was a reality game show based on the American series The Amazing Race. It features nine teams of two and one returning team of two given a second chance to compete on the Race by fans. The grand prize includes a CA$250,000 cash payout, a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip for two around the world, and a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS for each.[2]

The season premiered on July 2, 2019[1] with the season finale airing on September 10, 2019. Married First Nations couple Anthony Johnson and James Makokis were the winners of this season, becoming the first Indigenous team to win The Amazing Race Canada.

Production

Development and filming

Teams gathered at David Pecaut Square near Metro Hall in Toronto to begin the season.

On November 22, 2018, CTV announced that a seventh season of The Amazing Race Canada was set to air in the summer of 2019.[4] Similar to the previous season, the show broadcast the start of the Race on its social media pages on April 23, 2019 with SportsCentre anchor Kayla Grey interviewing host Jon Montgomery and revealing the team that returned to the Race.[2] The show also posted clips during filming to their social media pages that offered hints about the locations visited by the season as part of the "Jon on the Road: Presented by Chevrolet" series.

This season was the first season not to feature a U-Turn board, but also introduced a variation called the Double One Way, which allowed teams to force others to complete one specific task of the Detour. First appearing in Leg 3, it was a Blind Double One Way allowing teams to do so anonymously. Lauren & Joanne used the One Way on Trish & Amy, while Sarah & Sam used it on Gilles & Sean.

For the first time since Season 1, the season's racecourse stayed entirely within Canada.[5]

The finale was dedicated in memory of Season 5 contestant Kenneth McAlpine who died in a hiking accident on Mount Gimli in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia on August 26, 2019 at the age of 28.[6][7][8] A picture of McAlpine and a memorial message was aired during broadcasts of the finale.

Casting

Casting for the seventh season began on November 22, 2018. During a Facebook Live event on December 17, 2018 about casting for the new season, producer Mark Lysakowski commented that they were "looking for people that want to share a story that is a new lease on life. Or a second chance if you will."[9] Initial casting ended on January 2, 2019.[4]

Between June 11 to June 13, one team a day were revealed on each of the CTV network shows Your Morning, The Marilyn Denis Show, and The Social.[10][11][12] This season's cast includes Lethwei World Champion Dave Leduc; writer, actress, and model Irina Terehova; Olympic hurdler Sarah Wells; sprinter Sam Effah; and noted two-spirit Indigenous doctor James Makokis.

Canada’s Choice

On March 21, 2019, the show announced on its social media pages that fans would be able to vote for one of three previous teams to return to the Race for a second chance. Voting closed on April 1, 2019. The three teams were:[13]

Jet & Dave were revealed as the winners of the vote at the Starting Line.[2]

Marketing

Chevrolet returned as a sponsor for the show and was the sole sponsor of the "Jon on the Road" videos. Dempster's Bakery also retained their sponsorship from the previous season. New sponsors this season include Clif Bar, Dairy Farmers of Canada, Disney's The Lion King, Expedia, Paramount's Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Royal Ontario Museum, Shell Canada's V-Power fuel, The Source and Webber Naturals.

After each episode, CTV posted a video online as part of a weekly series called "Tastes of the Race", which featured previous season racers Martina & Phil facing off in a cooking competition inspired by the season's locations while using Dempster's products.[14]

  • 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 the team decided to use an Express Pass on that leg. A magenta ə indicates a team had previously been given an Express Pass by another team and used it on that leg. If next to a leg number, it indicates that the team with the Express Pass forfeited the Pass at the Pit Stop of that leg without ever having used it.
  • A gold ⇒ or a olive ⇒ indicates that the team chose to use one of the two One Ways in a Double One Way; or indicates the team who received it; and around a leg number indicates a leg where the One Way was available but not used.

Two teams (Aarthy & Thinesh and Meaghan & Marie) checked in during their penalty time, dropping Dave & Irina to 3rd.
  3. ^ Four of the seven teams who arrived at the Pit Stop after applied 2-hour penalties for failing to complete the clam digging challenge. The initial placements for all teams are as follows (the three boldfaced teams were not given the penalty):
