Amazing Race Vancouver: Vancouver

Vancouver: This week's destination? Vancouver, or as the show's host, Jon Montgomery, called it: "the supermodel of North American cities." Vancouver often racks up accolades as the most livable albeit expensive city in North America, but also as a place that doesn't know how to have fun , according to Huffington Post. For a recap of this week's drama, check out HuffPost Canada TV's review here and for a look at this week's destinations, check out the gallery below and If the second episode of The Amazing Race Canada seemed more like the Amazing Race Vancouver, that's because the show looks like it has shifted from its province-hopping ways to focus on one city per episode. That's not to say this week's episode wasn't entertaining, but when you've got destinations like a convention centre and shipping yards instead of camera-friendly lakes and provincial parks, the city's "no fun" reputation starts creeping up. Still, what this week's episode lacked in natural beauty, it made up for in culture with contestants running and skating around in circles in Vancouver's historic Chinatown and the Richmond Olympic Oval.
