Summary
Ten teams of racers are on the journey of a lifetime, and your TARCan experts are hot on their heels to recap each and every episode! This week, Jess Liese (@haymakerhattie) and Dan Heaton (@thedanheaton) discuss Season 10 Episode 2 of TARCAN.
Jessica Liese and Dan Heaton are back to break down all the twists, turns, and icy challenges of The Amazing Race Canada Season 11, Episode 2: “I’d Hug You But I Smell.”
In this leg, teams traveled from Red Deer to the stunning mountain landscapes of Lake Louise and Golden, British Columbia. From chiseling through ice blocks to earn coveted Express Passes to roping wooden pegs and scaling snowy hills with 90 kg loads, the episode pushed racers to their physical and mental limits.
Jessica and Dan dive into the strategic choices made this leg, including Osas & Esosa’s early use of the Express Pass, Marie & Louis securing two passes for themselves, and EB & Blake getting a big boost from the Assist clue. They also discuss the unique Detour options—sledding vs. snowshoe-building—and how different team dynamics are already starting to take shape.
As Jesse & Jonathon claim another first-place finish, the race heats up. Meanwhile, Brendan & Sam’s elimination shakes up the pack and raises the stakes for teams teetering on the edge.
Whether you’re a superfan or a casual viewer, don’t miss this sharp, funny, and insightful recap from RHAP, the most trusted in reality TV.

| 0:46.2 | And with me, as always, is podcaster Smurf, Dan Heaton. |
