AN EH-MAZING CLIFFHANGER: A super close finish ignites Amazing Race Canada!
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO – Canada’s No. 1 show flew into U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘favourite country’ – Mexico – to deliver one of the most nail-biting finishes in its history. It’s the philosophy of life – you can always make a comeback, which is why this show sings every season. This year’s theme is Heroes Edition. Does a show like The Amazing Race even need a theme? (We know the U.S. one does; shade alert!) “As shows live on and on, and there are more and more viewing options for audiences, you want to stand out and tell a different kind of story and approach,” Lysakowski says. “Survivor is great at that. The U.S. Amazing Race shakes things up with dating, social media and all-star versions. There’s something new to watch! “Last year, Amazing Race Canada tested the theme waters by celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday, which worked well with the show’s mantra: ‘The series itself is a love letter to Canada, in the first place. We didn’t want to call it a 150th theme but we made the challenges 150th-themed.'” It’s a timely theme given the fact that some people think retweeting a charity link is heroic. Why does Canada love reality TV so much? Why Mexico City and Jakarta? Are they characters? Or does tourism play a factor?
