TAR Norway - LIVE Sightings and SPOILERS **please read post 1**
« on: January 08, 2012, 03:40:40 PM »
The race is believed to be starting on Monday! The filming will continue on for one month!

Stay tuned!
 
=======================
 From peach:
LIVE sightings and spoilers go here!  :hearts:
 
Guidelines:
 
If you are posting a tweet, please post the actual tweet, the tweet time, and the twitter user name.
For FB posts, please remove the FB name, but please send me the name and link for our records.
 
It is also wise to take a screenshot of any posts you want to see again, they disappear quickly.

 
Please be kind, and don't all bury the poor unsuspecting twitterer with questions, if you see another RFFer on the job, let them handle it. Rest assured that we try to follow up on all twitters/sightings.
 
If you are concerned that any info gained from any sighting or tweet may be private or confidential or just "too much too soon", feel free to PM or email me to ask before you post.
 
If you are bringing us a live sighting, :tu !! But please do  help us as much as you can with WHO (be descriptive, what they look like, is it a male/female team for example, what color they are wearing is helpful) WHAT are they doing, WHERE (as exactly as possible..street? airport gate? be specific!), WHEN (what time zone?, exact time), and any descriptions of the action! Pictures are treasured!
 
 
And even though we all get excited, please, once we have a possible location, take the discussion to the Discussion thread and leave the LIVE zone free for incoming info! :ty3:
 
If you have a spoiler and prefer to share it privately, you are welcome to PM me. You can also email me if my inbox is full or just if you prefer, my email is in my profile. Your confidentiality will be respected. .

Here's a possible sighting about 15 or 20 minutes ago:

Lyn @lynxyz 15m

Amazing Race teams and camera crew just rushed past me.


From what I can tell, she's on a layover at an airport waiting for a flight, but doesn't say which one. Maybe somewhere in Asia, possibly at a connecting point like Dubai. I've tweeting for more information.

Update

No reply from her so far, or any other tweets to anybody.

From what I can determine she was in The Philippines and after a 12 hour flight is on a layover. She said about a hour ago that it was 4 AM, so that doesn't match up with Dubai, since it was 5 AM an hour ago. The time matches up with the east coast of Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and points north.

Since we have Dubai as a possible destination, I'm leaning that way and would guess that she's off on the local time.

I got further information from Lyn.

@
@Plaidmoon They were at the Dubai airport. Seems like filming just started because there were still several teams.
25 minutes ago


So, my guess about Dubai was right. It's possible they are just catching a flight to another destination, but I'm thinking it likely that Dubai is the first leg.

Here's another set of tweets from Dubai:

seanalmazora H▲XOR

Here's a follow up tweet after I asked what the racers were doing in the Dubai mall or if he could tell where they were going:

seanalmazora H▲XOR
@
@Plaidmoon I dunno they were running. Going to burj khalifa I think
1 minute ago


I checked a map of the mall and P. F. Changs is on the Lower Ground floor with numerous restaurants. That floor also has an elevator to the 124th floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa tower, so it makes sense they might be going there. I already talked about this in the speculation thread before I got this tweet, but it seemed to make sense to repost it here.

Nope. It may not have been a full sleet sheet, but there was snow around Central Park in the TAR1 premiere.

I really don't know if this tweet is about TAR Norway, but the description does fit one of the teams, so I'll post it here. It does conflict with ovalorange's info (I assume he meant Australia and not Austria). If there's another race running, maybe somebody will make the connection with that one.  Here is the tweet:

kriscarlon Kris Carlon
Just got asked for directions by the 'blonde bimbo' team in The Amazing Race at Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur. Maybe I'll be in the episode!
12 hours ago


I'm asking for some more info.

That could fit perfectly! AusTRALIA is still upcoming. As far as we can tell, the info on AUS is very reliable. It is just too specific to post right now...

And since TAR Israel should have had their finale in Singapore, I am not aware of any other races running just now.

Here's a further update from Kris Carlon, who saw the teams racing at Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur.

kriscarlon Kris Carlon
@
@Plaidmoon Hi, they absolutely might hav been Norwegian. They were looking 4a travel agency in Jaipur. I also saw 2young guys racing as well
10 hours ago


It sounds to me like Kris saw them leaving for the airport at the beginning of the leg. It's possible that they went straight from Dubai to India and we haven't missed a leg, though it's also possible there was a leg between Dubai and India. Timing would be tight for that though. Being a first time production, I'd expect them to allow more time between legs than the American version.

As I have said earlier, the race will go on for 1 month, so that leaves some extra time, yes :)

Here's a couple more tweets from Kris Carlon who has been very patient about answering my questions:

@Plaidmoon After u said Norway I checked, def Michelle &Cathrine. Only briefly saw the young guys run past with camera/sound guys in pursuit
13 minutes ago


@Plaidmoon The one guy I saw properly had a blue baseball cap on &I see in the promo pics one guy wears one, so...
8 minutes ago


It sounds like he saw Michelle Holm and Catherine Andersen and possibly Truls and Morten Bjerke.

Thanks again to Kris Carlon who took the time to hunt down the Norwegian TAR promo pictures of the teams without my help.
