From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: La Grande Roue de Montréal

Reaching the waterfront in Old Montréal, teams located their first Road Block task in the hands of a walking billboard and were told to choose one racer who would need to be 'well-rounded'. For this challenge, the participating team members had to head to La Grande Roue de Montréal and, strapping themselves in, climb to the top of the ferris wheel, two hundred feet above the ground, to collect their next clue and pieces of the Mjolnir from "Thor: Love and Thunder". Connor, Beverley, Jahmeek, Ali, Craig, Nella, Jully, Jesse, Durrell, and Tychon were selected to complete this challenge.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [5]

Answer: Bathurst

Leaving the picturesque Quebec village of Montebello at the start of Leg 9, teams opened their clues to discover that they would be making their way from nearby Ottawa to the edge of the Acadian Peninsula, flying themselves eight hundred kilometres eastward to the small city of Bathurst in Northeastern New Brunswick. Upon arriving there, they had to drive their marked 2022 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2s to Frostbite's Dairy Bar in Bathurst and collect not only their next clue, but an ice cream and some supplies they would be using in this leg of the race.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [1]

Answer: Laurentian

This iteration of the race started with a total of ten teams only a hundred and thirty kilometres north of Montreal. There, at Place St-Bernard at Mont Tremblant Resort, the pairs embarked upon a race across the nation for the $250,000 cash prize (and all the other prizes along the way) when, on Jon Montgomery's go, they were instructed to reach their first clue envelope waiting on their backpacks. Using a code, teams had to search on foot for five marked plaques in the village telling the history of Mont Tremblant and decipher (and unscramble) their next destination-- Old Montreal-- which they could use to get their next clue. If they got it right they could sign up for a charter bus at the village dock and take the ride to Montreal.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Goats

Visiting Indian Battle Park in Lethbridge, Alberta, teams split off to complete either 'Herd' or 'Hoot', both of which involved memory and animals. In 'Herd', teams had to hop into an enclosure to count the numbers found on bandanas worn by local goats. If they could add up the numbers by memory based on their coloured bandana, they could get their next clue. In 'Hoot', teams instead learned the calls of seven different owls, combining them with their descriptions to get their next clue. Only Brendan and Connor and Cedric and Tychon completed the 'Hoot' task while all others finished 'Herd'.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [2]

Answer: Fernie

Once teams handed in their delivery receipts they were told to drive onward to the grain elevator waiting at Pincher Station where they could sign up for one of two buses headed to the city of Sparwood, British Columbia. Four teams would be on the first flight and the second bus, leaving fifteen minutes later, would contain the remaining pairs. In addition, teams would receive a phone after signing up for their bus, and using the Expedia app, they could book their accommodations for the evening. In Sparwood, they could hop into their provided 2022 Chevrolet Traverse LT and drive to Fernie.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [1]

Answer: A hammer

Arriving in Montreal on one of two charter buses, teams were told to race on foot through the city streets to find one of two people carrying walking billboards promoting the then-upcoming movie "Thor: Love and Thunder". If found, they could receive a piece of the Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, and get their Road Block clue. For the Road Block, teams headed down to the waterfront to find La Grande Roue de Montréal and one team member was required to climb two hundred feet to the top of the attraction. Connor, Beverley, Jahmeek, Ali, Craig, Nella, Jully, Jesse, Durrell, and Tychon completed this challenge.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [4]

Answer: Beverley and Veronica

Leaving the Road Block, teams drove themselves through Prince Edward County to Prince Eddy's Brewing Company in Picton for the race's first-ever encounter with the Pass mechanic. With this, a team could force another team still behind them to wait at that particular race mechanic until the proceeding team showed up. Once the proceeding team passed them, the chosen team could continue racing. Franca and Nella used this board to hold back Beverley and Veronica while Court and Ali used theirs on Franca and Nella (as a strategic move). Because the latter team had already gone by only Beverley and Veronica were affected by the Pass.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [3]

Answer: Jully

Immediately after completing the first Road Block of the leg, teams opened a second, meaning that whoever went tandem paragliding would need to commit themselves to an otherwise unknown task at the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre in Silver Star Provincial Park. There, the participant was required to participate in a biathlon, cross-country skiing around a three hundred meter loop and then firing to hit five targets with five shots. If they failed to hit all five, they would need to complete the loop again to try another five shots for the remainder. Connor, Franca, Jesse, Jully, Cedric, Beverley, and Cassie were all required to finish this challenge.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [1]

Answer: Jully and Kathy

Completing the race's first Road Block, teams were immediately thrust into a Detour challenge. The first option placed in front of them was 'Jazz', which required that teams head to Upstairs Jazz to meet with and train under Canadian musician Ranee Lee. Once teams mastered her improvised scat routine they could collect their next clue and more pieces of the Mjolnir to bring along with them. Only Jully and Kathy and Franca and Nella completed this challenge. Interestingly, both Jully and Ranee have, historically, been regarded as some of Canada's most talented black artists in their respective musical genres.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Two

Racing to Canmore in Kananaskis County, Alberta in Leg 4, teams encountered two wildly different Road Block tasks in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. For the first, teams had to learn how to replicate a diamond hitch knot at a Kananaskis River ranch while the second task, completed by the teammate who did not finish the knot, involved riding adaptive eBikes around a slalom course at the Canmore Nordic Centre. This leg of the race did not contain a Detour as a result of this double Road Block instance.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Apples

The Detour found near Vernon, B.C. in Leg 5 put people into a competition of dexterity or into a bake-off. In 'Ball'n', five teams went lawn bowling, competing against Vernon's elderly community in an attempt to rack up five points against their opponents. 'Pomme'n', the alternative option, sent teams to Davison Orchards to prepare five miniature apple pies for baking. While Jesse and Marika, Franca and Nella, Brendan and Connor, Cassie and Jahmeek, and Cedric and Tychon completed 'Ball'n', Beverley and Veronica and Jully and Kathy finished 'Pomme'n'.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [5]

Answer: Jesse and Marika

Wrapping up a physically-demanding labour task in the Acadian village, teams ripped open their Detour clues and had to make a choice between 'Oyster Shuck' and 'Clean & Tuck', both taking them to the Maritime resort of Cielo in Haut-Shippagan. For 'Oyster Shuck', teams needed to prepare seafood platters by first shucking two dozen oysters without damaging the contents, then replicating all the garnishes and presentation to the satisfaction of a local chef. In 'Clean & Tuck', however, teams had to replicate a glamping setup outside, recreating one of the property's beachfront glamping domes by filling it with its proper contents, all in their proper spots. While Jesse and Marika completed 'Clean & Tuck', all other teams completed 'Oyster Shuck'.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [2]

Answer: Catherine

For their final task of Leg 3, teams proceeded to 2nd Avenue in Fernie where they had to select one team member to wear vibrant '80s aerobics gear, join an instructor, and learn a full workout routine. If they could complete the complex choreography, they would get their next clue and be able to depart. Connor, Jesse, Ali, Craig, Veronica, Tychon, Dennis, Nella, and Jahmeek completed this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [1]

Answer: Burlesque

In 'Pizzazz', teams took a drive to The Wiggle Room in Montreal, joining the burlesque dancers there to participate in a choreographed routine. When they were ready to perform for the crowd, they needed to hit their moves as well as remove their provided clothing in the correct order. If they did the striptease right, local burlesque dancer Frenchy Jones would give them their next clue. All teams save for Jully and Kathy and Franca and Nella participated in this task, collecting more Mjolnir pieces upon completion.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Biathlon

Interestingly, Leg 5 was the second leg in a row in which racers had two Road Block tasks back-to-back. This time around, the first team member selected had to perform a tandem paraglide over the Okanagan Valley. The second teammate, automatically required to complete the second Road Block, was sent to the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre to participate in a biathlon, racing 300m on cross-country skis and then hitting five targets on the firing range. Failure to hit the targets meant making another loop to replenish their ammunition.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Fanshawe College

Though both tasks, 'Animate' and 'Aviate', took place at Fanshawe College, the challenges themselves couldn't be more different. In 'Animate', which most teams completed, one team member needed to become a director to instruct their teammate in navigating a motion-capture space, recreating a provided video. If they could replicate the original, they would get their next clue. In 'Aviate', teams instead used their mechanical senses to properly assemble the propellor of a Cessna 150 airplane. While Beverley and Veronica, Cedric and Tychon, and Brendan and Connor completed the latter task, Franca and Nella, Catherine and Craig, Jesse and Marika, Court and Ali, and Cassie and Jahmeek went for the former.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [5]

Answer: Court and Ali

As soon as teams wrapped up their Detour tasks, they could drive along the coast to find Pokeshaw Rock and their ninth Pit Stop of the race with Jon waiting at the mat on the beach overlooking the landmark. This leg of the race was won by Catherine and Craig, who led the course coming out of the Road Block. It was their second victory of the race, and this time they took a trip to Mexico City, $2,500 CAD-worth of Expedia Points, and a $2,500 gift card from Marshall's as their prizes. Though the race to keep out of last was close-fought throughout the entire leg, Brendan and Connor managed to get ahead of Court and Ali by taking a different route to the Pit Stop. It meant Court and Ali were eliminated from the race in sixth place.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [3]

Answer: Jully and Kathy

Only one challenge separated teams from the fifth Pit Stop, and it involved heading to Jealous Fruits Orchard on the edge of Lake Okanagan and, after counting the number of trees in a marked section, calculating the weight of cherries that would be produced by those trees. If they could get the correct number, they could drive to the Predator Ridge Resort in Vernon and check in on the fifth Pit Stop mat on the community's yoga platform. Here, Jesse and Marika arrived in first (followed very closely by Franca and Nella). The former won themselves a trip for two to London, England as well as a $2,000 gift card from Marshall's. At the end of the leg, Cedric and Tychon took a two-hour penalty for taking other teams' answers at the cherry challenge. Fortunately for them, Jully and Kathy did the same thing in error, getting them eliminated once again.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [2]

Answer: Cassie and Jahmeek

If teams could work out to the '80s and make it through their blast from the past, they could get a clue and hop in their Chevrolet vehicles to make their way to the race's third Pit Stop, the scenic fourth hole at Fernie Golf & Country Club. Though Catherine and Craig came in on the second bus, they excelled in the Road Block enough to get ahead and place first in this leg. The pair won a trip for two to Bangkok, Thailand as well as a $2,000 gift card to Marshall's. Having switched Detour tasks upon arriving in Fernie, Cassie and Jahmeek were unable to make up for lost time and they were eliminated in ninth place.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [1]

Answer: Jully and Kathy

Finishing up with their Detours, teams proceeded to the historic Rialto Theatre in the heart of Montreal where they had to assemble Thor's Mjolnir before checking in with Jon at their first Pit Stop on the main stage. Leading the pack upon arriving in Montreal, the leg was won by brothers Brendan and Connor who, for their victory, won several prizes including a $2,500 CAD gift card to Marshall's, a trip for two to Los Angeles for the premiere of "Thor: Love and Thunder", and THREE Express Passes (one for themselves and two to give to other teams in the next three legs). This leg of the race was ultimately lost by Jully and Kathy who, struggling with directions, struggled to catch up. They were eliminated from the race.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Dogs

Arriving at the Middlesex Agility Club outside London, Ontario, team members were tasked with selecting a trained dog and leading it through and along nineteen obstacles in an agility course. Brendan, Tychon, Veronica, Franca, Craig, Marika, Jahmeek, and Court were all selected to make new best friends, ensuring their dog partners completed the course in under forty-five seconds to collect their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [4]

Answer: Ottawa

Leaving Sandbank Provincial Park midday at the start of Leg 8, teams were told to drive to the train station and catch a ride to the capital city of Canada: Ottawa, Ontario. When they arrived, they would collect their next clue from behind the driver's seat of a 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, which they could use to drive to the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, across the Ottawa River. Outside, they could use a smartphone to book tickets to the museum via the Expedia app and, the following morning, recommence the race. Inside, teams had to locate the Canadian stamp collection and, receiving thirteen example stamps, they had to search over three thousand samples for the individual costs of those they were looking for to get their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [2]

Answer: Three & 3

With "The Amazing Race Canada 8" being filmed in early 2022, the show proceeded with protocol in place to minimize transmission, where possible, of COVID-19, the macro effects of which prevented the show from filming and airing in 2020 and 2021. Upon arriving at the race's third Pit Stop in Fernie, British Columbia, three teams (Dennis and Durrell, Court and Ali, and Leg 3 winners Catherine and Craig) tested positive for COVID and were, as such, unable to continue racing due to the inherent risks involved. None of these teams continued into the fourth leg.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [1]

Answer: Lethbridge

Kicking off Leg 2, teams were told to drive to the airport in Montreal and fly across the country to the city of Calgary, Alberta and, from there, they could search the airport parking lot for one of nine 2022 Chevrolet Blazer RS vehicles they would use for this leg of the race. Ripping this clue open, teams were sent onward to the city of Lethbridge, two hundred kilometres southeast, and they would find their next route marker at the rattlesnake statue in Indian Battle Park.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: The Ottawa Valley

Racing through the Ottawa-Gatineau region in Leg 8, teams headed from the Canadian Museum of History to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum where one team member needed to find the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver and grab a ticket to ride over the region. In the air, if the participant located a giant letter M created in an open field, they would be able to land, collect their clue, and head onward to the Quebec village of Montebello. Nella, Marika, Veronica, Catherine, Ali, and Brendan were selected to complete this challenge.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: A resort

Flying to the Acadian region of New Brunswick in Leg 9, teams ended off a series of tasks with a Detour that required an eye for detail no matter which choice they took, and both options took place at the beachside resort of Cielo. In 'Oyster Shuck', nearly all teams replicated seafood platters by shucking two dozen oysters (properly) and garnishing their dishes with all proper accoutrements while in 'Clean & Tuck', only Jesse and Marika furnished and decorated glamping domes to the approval of the resort's owner. After this, teams could race to the Pit Stop.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [5]

Answer: Lake Huron

When teams finished their Road Block, teams received a phone and a clue telling them to navigate themselves (via the OnStar Guardian mobile app) to Oshawa Executive Airport. From there, they could sign up for one of three planes flying them to Tobermory, Ontario on the Bruce Peninsula, each leaving ten minutes apart. Upon arriving in Tobermory, teams visited the Divers Den diving shop in town and had to embark on a task out in the town's harbour. One team member dove into the waters of Georgian Bay and, using buoys to guide the way, located a number of Tobermory's shipwrecks-- The Tugs. Once they located numbers associated with their team's chosen colour, they had to relay those back to their teammate, unlock a treasure chest, and get the keys to a Chevrolet Equinox RS...and their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [4]

Answer: M

Heading out from the Canadian Museum of History, teams ripped open their Road Block clues for this leg of the race and chose a team member to be 'put on the spot'. In this Road Block, the selected teammate went for the ride of a lifetime in a vintage biplane, by locating a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver on the Canada Aviation and Space Museum grounds in Ottawa, grabbing a ticket, and heading into the skies. Once in the air, the chosen teammate had to spot a forty-foot-tall letter M to land and continue racing. Nella, Marika, Veronica, Catherine, Ali, and Brendan completed this task. When the Road Block was completed, teams had to take the ferry back over to Gatineau and, using their onboard GPS, navigate to Montebello, Quebec.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 8" [3]

Answer: Two

Reaching the Forest City of London, teams made their way to the tenth fairway at the East Park Golf Gardens to encounter Jon Montgomery and a very special, unexpected challenge-- one that the racers did not need to participate in themselves. Instead, Catherine and Craig, Court and Ali, and Dennis and Durrell, all of whom were removed from the race after Leg 3 due to COVID-19, were cleared to return. To get that chance, they would have to compete in the On-Ramp challenge, a task that would allow two teams to solve a riddle and find an On-Ramp pass somewhere on the grounds of the gardens. Court and Ali found the first of these and told Catherine and Craig, securing both of their returns. This meant that Dennis and Durrell were unable to rejoin the others on the course.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Canada 8"

Answer: Stepdance

Visiting the Acadian town of Caraquet in Leg 9, team members split off for a Road Block at a local pub where the participating racers (Connor, Jesse, Catherine, Court, Franca, and Beverley) needed to watch two young dancers perform a traditional stepdance to live fiddle music. If they could replicate all of the steps, moving from a seated position to a standing one to complete the song on the proper beat, then they would receive their next clue. Court and Franca were required to complete this task as per their clue instructions due to their Road Block count to date.
