Laughing Monkeys are in my Top 8

Logan & Michael return for another Amazing Race Canada 5 recap – this week for its visit to Shanghai and Bangkok! In this episode: Will we see another international leg soon? Michael has a gripe. Why did they briefly visit Shanghai? How did Production ensure no-one ran out of money this week? What was the biggest error that producers made? What record does the first Asia season hold? When will the next non-elimination leg appear? Should the clues in the cat café have been better-hidden? Donald Trump and Pikachu both make an appearance. Michael gloats. Will we ever see a double-battle again? Why was the Fast Forward a bit disappointing? Is Bangkok really the “City of Life?” We obviously discuss the American Dad parody of Amazing Race. Logan tries to pronounce a Thai location. There’s more terrible accent work. There’s a small amount of praise for our least-favourite team. Does South-East Asia really love these teams? Just how old is Shabbir? What is Amazing Race Canada responsible for? Which detour would we have picked? We’re surprised by yet another actually good prize. There’s some more sartorial choices from the Greeter. Which is more frustrating – cancer or surfing? We bust out the stats. Why did Zed & Shabbir get eliminated? Who has the worst poker hand? We finally discuss the infamous Race Play question. Michael has some insight about Korey & Ivana’s near-miss. One sponsor goes a bit Heidi Strobel. Should we do another inappropriate video clip? What is the longest leg in Amazing Race history? How pointless is a citizenship test? And will the Double U-Turn actually get used?
