Производство [ править ]

Разработка и съемка [ править ]

Батарея королевы на вершине Сигнал-Хилл с видом на город Сент-Джонс служила стартовой линией пятого сезона сериала «Удивительная гонка в Канаде» .

12 октября 2016 года телеканал CTV объявил о продлении шоу на пятый сезон. ^[2]

В этом сезоне во время трансляции каждого эпизода было добавлено несколько интерактивных функций в реальном времени, включая мелочи, опросы и национальную таблицу лидеров. Кроме того, зрители могли исследовать места, которые видели во время гонки, с помощью виртуальных обзоров на 360 градусов , в том числе Стартовая линия этого сезона: Национальное историческое место Сигнал-Хилл в Сент-Джонс , Ньюфаундленде и Лабрадоре . ^[3]

Среди видеороликов с обзором в 360 градусов на официальной странице CTV на YouTube была игра в подводный хоккей , проходившая в бассейне спортивного центра Гатино в Гатино, Квебек. ^[4] Это единственное место с обзором на 360 градусов, которое никогда не видели и не упоминали в эфире, поэтому неизвестно, планировалось ли это изначально как задание во время визита 6-го этапа в Гатино, или его просто не транслировали.

По случаю празднования в 2017 году 150-летия Конфедерации Канады на некоторых этапах было выполнено тематическое задание под названием 150 Challenge .

По словам исполнительного продюсера Джона Брантона, заграничный визит в Кению изначально планировался, но был отменен из соображений безопасности. ^[5]

Кастинг [ править ]

Кастинг начался 12 октября 2016 года, и, как и в предыдущие четыре сезона, онлайн-сайт использовался для подачи заявок и видео для прослушивания. Кастинг завершился 1 декабря 2016 года. В актерский состав входит бывшая участница 3-го цикла канадской Next Top Model Эбони Финли-Роберж, занявшая 8-е место. ^{[2] [6]}

Участник конкурса Кеннет Макальпайн погиб в результате несчастного случая в походе на горе Гимли в регионе Западный Кутеней в Британской Колумбии 26 августа 2019 года в возрасте 28 лет. ^[7] В финале 7-го сезона была фотография Макальпайна и краткое мемориальное послание.

Будущие выступления [ править ]

Сэм и Пол были местными встречающими Пит-стопа во время шестого этапа 6-го сезона в Ирландском парке в их родном городе Торонто. ^[8]

5 февраля 2020 года Карен и Берт соревновались со своей семьей в эпизоде Family Feud Canada, но не смогли добраться до Fast Money . ^{[9] [10]} 30 ноября 2020 года Сэм участвовал в том же шоу со своей семьей. ^[11]

Программирование [ править ]

Как и в предыдущих сезонах, специальное воссоединение / резюме в конце сезона снова под названием «После гонки», снова организованное актерами The Social , транслировалось сразу после финала сезона со всеми присутствующими командами - за исключением Эбони, которая не смогла присутствовать - для обзор сезона в целом.

Маркетинг [ править ]

Спонсор поездки Hotels.com , спонсор верхней одежды Mountain Equipment Co-op и Mentos прекратили спонсорство; Chevrolet продолжал спонсировать шоу вместе с несколькими спонсорами предыдущих сезонов, Bank of Montreal (BMO). Новыми спонсорами в этом сезоне являются спонсор поездки Sinorama Holidays, бренд Canadian Tire 's Woods в качестве спонсора верхней одежды / одежды и Campbell Soup Company . ^[1]

В качестве дополнительного маркетинга для спонсора Chevrolet после каждого эпизода в бонусных видеороликах была показана специальная серия победителей предыдущего сезона Стефа Леклера и Кристен Маккензи под названием Backseat Drivers (отсылка к подсказке Roadblock в шестом этапе их сезона). В этих клипах продолжительностью примерно две с половиной минуты Стеф и Кристен обсуждали события предыдущего эпизода, управляя другим автомобилем Chevrolet, иногда останавливаясь, чтобы подобрать команду из предыдущего сезона и обсудить, что изменилось в их жизни. с их соответствующего сезона. В состав художественных команд входили: Хэл и Джоанн и Холли и Бретт из 1 сезона , ^{[12] [13]} Рекс и Боб из 2 сезона , ^[14]Брент и Шон, Гамильтон и Михаэлия из 3 сезона , ^{[15] [16]} Фрэнки и Эми из 4 сезона , ^[17] и победители этого года Сэм и Пол в финальной части. ^[18]

In I'll Cast It, teams travelled to Kinsmen Park, donned hip waders, and entered Kinsmen Lake, where each team member had to cast their fly fishing rod to hit three floating targets to receive their next clue.

For this season's final Face Off, teams travelled to the John Rhodes Community Centre Pool. On a circular curling sheet, teams competed against each other in Crokicurl – a recently developed^[25] game that is a cross between curling and the Canadian-created board game crokinole. The team who arrived earlier had the choice of taking their turn first or second. Each ring has a specific point value. Across from their partner, each team member took turns throwing six curling stones, attempting to knock out their opponent's stones while keeping theirs in place to score the most points. If the opposing stone is in play, it must be hit. If a stone lands in the direct centre, or "button", it is worth 20 points and the stone is removed from play. After all stones are thrown, the team with the higher score received the clue for the Roadblock. The last team remaining at the Face Off had to turn over an hourglass and wait out a time penalty before moving on.

In this leg's Roadblock, teams travelled to Entomica in Mill Market. The team member not performing the Roadblock had to insert their head into a plexiglass box, after which four species of live giant cockroaches were dropped on them. The team member who was performing the Roadblock then had to count the correct number of each species to receive their next clue.

Additional note

• At the Sault Ste. Marie airport parking lot, teams found their next clue inside 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR-2s that would serve as their transportation for this leg.

In this leg's first Roadblock, one team member had to attach a harness and a climb down a cargo net suspended from the pedestrian bridge over the 275-foot (84 m) waterfall to retrieve their next clue, then climb back up to reunite with their partner.

In this season's final Roadblock, the team member who did not perform the previous Roadblock had to pull themselves up the side of the 31-storey Édifice Marie-Guyart, Quebec City's tallest building, to the rooftop. Once there, they had to search the city to spot a yellow and red Amazing Race flag on the roof of their next destination, the Morrin Centre, then take the elevator back down to reunite with their partner.

Additional tasks

• Upon arrival in Quebec City, teams had to search outside the airport for their next clue, which was near the control tower.
• At Place de Bordeaux plaza in the Saint-Roch neighbourhood of Old Quebec, teams had to chose a bike rickshaw with one team member becoming driver and the other the dispatcher. Using only a location list, map with street names and places written in French, and walkie-talkies, the dispatcher had to give the driver directions through the streets of Old Quebec to pick up three passengers carrying a card colour-coded to each team, and transport them to their proper destination, after which each would give the card to the driver. After returning to Place de Bordeaux with all three cards, teams received their next clue.
• At the storage warehouse of the Quebec Winter Carnival to search among the many figures of Bonhomme, the famous snowman mascot of the festival, to find their next clue, which was a box of chocolates wrapped in yellow and red ribbon, from Érico Chocolatier, their next destination. Written on the bottom of the box was "trade in for the next clue". Once there, teams exchanged the box for a giant chocolate egg that they had to break open to find the second Roadblock clue.
• At the Morrin Centre, teams would find a bag containing over 150 puzzle pieces forming a large map of Canada, and 10 cards referencing challenges throughout the season, 6 of which were the 150 Challenges. Once the puzzle was fully assembled in a tabletop frame, teams then had to place only the 6 correct 150 Challenge cards over the city in which the challenges took place to receive their final clue.
