I don't even remember what led me to this, but watching the Amazing Race has been my latest guilty pleasure. The Amazing Race Canada, too. TAR still has all the super-dramatic reality TV editing and music but is way less focused on interpersonal conflict. It's the places and tasks that make it interesting.

Compared to the US show, the Canadian show is way lower budget and milder in vibes, but the Canadian host is way more enthusiastic. He actually does the challenges while explaining them.

Fantastic movie that deserves its Golden Globe

We're going to Pitcairn Island, chat!

 

Whereas the Turks and Caicos is a Caribbean treasure consisting of 40 islands and a population of almost 19,000 people that is currently governed as a British territory; and

Whereas the Government of Turks and Caicos has expressed an interest in joining Canada; and

Whereas the Province of Nova Scotia has a long and proud history of conducting trade with the Caribbean;

Therefore be it resolved that the Government of Nova Scotia initiate discussions with the Turks and Caicos to become part of the Province of Nova Scotia and encourage the Government of Canada to welcome the Turks and Caicos as part of our country.

I'd say it's a step more "serious racing" than Kart. Transformed had more complex drifting and boosting mechanics to emphasize good racing skills. There are still powerups, but they're relatively weak. The closest blue shell equivalent is the swarm, which summons a swarm of giant wasps to sit in front of the race leader, but it's always dodgeable with good steering. The medium-level pickups require good aim or awareness of who's near you. The Kart strategy of only caring about the last lap is still possible in Transformed, but trying to get ahead as far as possible is also a doable strategy.

Really hoping this can be a worthy successor to Transformed
