Sunday, Nov. 12      THE AMAZING RACE 10 --Every second counts as the
(8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)   remaining teams make their way through Helsinki.  Phil Keoghan hosts.

Turku & Helsinki, Finland (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessageRange?)  ( 6/16)
 
 Tarballs  (http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm23.showMessageRange?topicID=6980.topic&start=201&stop=210)
More info about the Finland spoiler: Some teams and camera crews were spotted at Turku's railway station at 5:20 pm last friday. Teams drove off towards east with Mercedeses. I'll try to get some info about how many teams were seen, or what they looked like.

Here's some pics in a train from Tampere to Turku :)
http://viltsu.net/gallery/v/Yhteiset/Matkat/Turku2006/
I heard from a reliable source that some woman had talked with one couple in the train and the couple said that they had flown from Madagascar to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Tampere and Ylöjärvi and then they had to travel with a train to Turku where they must find the cars and drive to quarry mines in Lohja. What happened after that is unknown.
 

Signal  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?topic=8610.275) checks in with more details!

I've read and heard about people seeing the contestants climbing in the Olympic Stadium's tower in Helsinki, and Phil was spotted in a park/restaurant in Helsinki, wich could also be true.
"Yes, they were also in Tampere week ago friday (june 16th), or actually Ylöjärvi, close to my home. I heard about it from my aunt who drives a taxi, and she had taken one couple from Tampere train station to Ylöjärvi and back. They were hurrying to catch the train to Turku. My aunt was first a bit shocked when few dark skinned americans passed others in the queue and jumped to the car with a man sitting on the front seat who had a  huge camera"

There was another sighting at the Helsinki train station june 16th. A "chinese" looking couple was seen running in the station with a camera man, and they had two other couples following them


Signal  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?topic=8610.msg128474#msg128474) checks in with more info !!
Oh and also there is some info about their "task" in Ylöjärvi. Obviously it was some kind of obstacle course at swamp 
The landowner of the area is keeping his mouth shut, but nearby neighbours reported a helicopter and lots of people including security who kept the nosy ones far. The famous clue box was also seen there.
:update:
Signal  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?topic=8610.msg128519#msg128519)
And I have scan for you, puddin :D
I also translated it. Here is the scan of article
(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/3117/katu2ma.th.jpg) (http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=katu2ma.jpg)

And here's what it says:

AMAZING RACE WAS HERE?

If the travelling route of Amazing Race would finally reach Finland, then where would
the american reality-tv makers head for? Cultural sights that we don't have, or to the
crowded national parks in Lapland? Eyewitnesses have said that production crew looking
very much like the Amazing Race was seen in the middle on June on obstacle course at swamp
in Ylöjärvi.
Foreign production crew with fire trucks and helicopters circling the sky didn't go
unnoticed by local residents, even thought that security personnel kindly prevented the curious ones
to not come too close. Contestants speaking english ran with yellow/black envelopes and cameramen
filming also a box matching the descriptions of the series clue box on a nearby road.

The area is privately owned beautiful swamp area, which in this time of year has nests of cranes
and swans. At winter the 40 hectare swamp is used for skiing. Owner of the land area is not saying anything,
and the production team is not revealing the routes of the still unseen episodes.
If Amazing Race really visited on Pirkanmaa region, it will still take years until the
episode is seen here. Latest season shown by MTV3 was season 5, but in the US the season
currently on production would be 10th.

adding this :

Thanks, Signal! That clears some things up.  :tup:

ETA: Here's a possible Finland timeline...

DEPART Madagascar on June 15
Flights leave Antananarivo at 12:50am, arrive in Helsinki at either 4:25 or 7:25pm
Teams are bunched somewhere (tower at Helsinki Olympic Stadium) until morning of 6/16
Gates open at 9:00am? (according to website)
Teams climb tower (roadblock?)
Take 2 hour train trip to Tampere, arrive around noon?
Go to Ylojarvi (arrive around 12:30), do task (detour)?
Go back to Tampere train station
Take 2 hour train trip to Turku (depart around 3:00?)
Depart Turku around 5:20 (time teams were sighted)
Teams proceed to Lohja (arrive around 7:30? Signal -- 2 hours to get from Turku to Lohja?)
Do something at mines in Lohja?
Pitstop?

Seems like a lot of driving, but not unreasonable timing-wise.

I did some aimless Googling and found this site (http://www.kaupunki.lohja.fi/matkailupalvelukeskus/default.asp?sivu=85&alasivu=97&kieli=826) about the mines in Lohja. I especially liked the fact that they have
Quote
"other times for groups
and private event by agreement"
.

But it is kind of sad that they have a mining task and David  probably won't be there to shine!

Also found this former limestone mine/quarry (http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/jarnef/comenius/ojamo2.htm)
And this about the Tyteri limestone mines (http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/jarnef/comenius/tytyri.htm)
And this about the the Lohja museums (http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/jarnef/comenius/museum.htm), including the mining museum, where "visitors can test their courage on the adventure trail".
There is even  a Light Show (http://www.kaupunki.lohja.fi/matkailupalvelukeskus/default.asp?sivu=85&alasivu=96&kieli=826)!

And more: Here's the Map (http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=turku+finland&daddr=lohja+finland&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1) for Turku to Lohja--about 2 hours 17 minute drive...

And Tyteri mine elevator shaft (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.kone.com/static/ImageBank/GetImage_jpg/0,,imageID%3D239786,00.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.kone.com/en_CN/main/0,,content%3D38021,00.html&h=240&w=178&sz=22&hl=en&start=24&tbnid=q1vEkNQPULDodM:&tbnh=110&tbnw=82&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2BLohja%2B%2BFinland%26start%3D18%26ndsp%3D18%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN)

So... if they don't arrive in Lohya till at least 7:30 or so and still have to do a mine task and make it to the pitstop, it might be at least 9 or 9:30 PM when they finish (keeping in mind that in June that far north there would still be daylight till 10-11 PM).

Lohya is only about 45 minutes to 1 hour from the airport, but allowing for security, flight booking. etc seems like they might need more like 3.

Since the next leg is almost certainly Helsinki--Kiev (GO puddin!) there are a few flight options

You can fly into Kiev-Borispol   (about 25 miles out of the city), or Kiev--Metro(about 5 miles out of the city), or into Odessa (about 7 miles from Kiev)  link (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/destinations/europe/ukraine/transport)

Using Kiev-Metro for 6/17/06. you get:

So...if I'm reading this right, they probably wouldn't have time to make any of the AM flights, meaning they'll all have to take the 6-7PM ones--leaving airport bunching in Helsinki and late arrival in Kiev, meaning hours of operation bunching too. But if someone does arrive in Lohja early enough to be able to get those AM flights. they would have a HUGE lead!

Post by: Reality Junkee on November 03, 2006, 09:49:16 AM
Do we know who is eliminated for sure?  I mean is it David & Mary?  If so, something interesting:

You know how Rob & Trevor said they feel it was not a predetermined non elimination because D&M got both of them.  In other words, the producers knew so they could be kept around.

IF that's true, then something else.  On Regis & Kelly, they said they will have the latest people eliminated from TAR next Monday.  Why now?  They haven't had any other teams on the show.  Do they know it might be D&M?? 

I'm rambling I know.  Tell me what you think of all this.   :umn:   I just find it interesting and "coincidental"  that all this revolves around them.

Onto my next cup of coffee! :mornin:

Well since we see several teams competiting in teh skiing, obsticle course, swing, carry , and climb task.  I would assume that it is the first event of the day (ie due to bunching).

I would then assume train ride (with the chance to clean up and change, going to the face forward repel (which looks considerable ahrder then the one in season 4, and since both team members have safety gear on in looks like either a general tasks (like climbing the Great Wall) or a detour if the course event earlier is not a detour and just a task to complete  to get to the next route marker).

Then the roadblock at night going to the Pit Stop.

Post by: georgiapeach on November 04, 2006, 11:32:00 PM
Based on the train schedules I could find (see above), I think the swamp task had to occur between the train arrival at Tampere @ 11:52 (closest place to Ylojarvi) and the departure for the train to Turku at 15:11--are there any shadows that would help confirm this? The wet socks are on the train from Tampere to Turku, based on the above sighting.

I'm also pretty convinced that the mine task was in the Lohja Museum at the  Tyteri limestone mines  (http://www.kaupunki.lohja.fi/matkailupalvelukeskus/default.asp?sivu=85&alasivu=97&kieli=826) where there are guided tours and an adventure trail....There is a phone #...should I call??? :o  I think this took place after 7:30PM, again based on train schedules and driving times...

The face first rappel is of course at the Helsinki Olympic Tower...so much of the timing for this task relates back to what flights the teams can get out of Madagascar...I'm stuck working a long stretch and can't work on this so much...anybody else? :js: I think this has to be the first task after airport arrival, because they don't go back to Helsinki till they go on to Kiev--at least from what I can figure by timetables... Shadows, Chateau?? :please:

Oh cool Regis doing the eliminated teams now, thanks RJ. Who are this Rob & Trevor you speak of :snicker:?

eta: Mary & David are eliminated EP8 RJ, this EP one of the Cho's or Barbies unless its something else.



I knew that D&M are going to be eliminated, that's why I'm suspicious as to why all of a sudden Regis & Kelly are having the team appear on their show.  Why not the other teams.  Everything is happening w/D&M....they get two NEL AND the first team on R&K??  Hmmm....maybe Trevor is right about the producers knowing about the NEL's and arranging it for the favorite team to get it.   ???

Does all this make sense to what I'm saying?  Am getting over a mild headache.
Title: Re: EP9: 'Being Polite Sucks Sometimes ' * video !! *
Post by: mswood on November 05, 2006, 03:40:02 PM
Actually it might just be due to two factors.

1.  Teh race is more populat then it has been since season7.  So maybe Regis felt cool lets have a team on.

2.  They also might just see how people are reacting to David & Mary.  some teams are far, far more popular then others.

The producers have no idea how teams are going to come off to the public during the filming of the show.  And if they "fixed" the non elimination points.  They would ahve to know which teams are popular.

I would assume that early on teh producers woud feel that either Peter and Sarah would be the popular underdog team (Like Mirna and Charla), each with a popular underdog character saddled with a pain in the ass partner.  Or that they might feel that Erwin and Godwin based on their kindness to others.  After all while David and Mary are cool with otehrs and are enjoying the places and cultures, they aren't especially nice to each other.

So I don't think its rigged.

They only rig aiirliness to stop a plane while taxi-ing down the runway to let a behind team on with the leading team so that they have a better finale ..i.e.instead of one team running away with the win ( romberownage) they have 2 teams racing to the finish line   :snicker:

Well I actually liked the team, but was glad to see them lose.

But I wish they would have done this race before any of hte survivor business.

I think it gave tehm a tremendous advantage with locals and getting assistance.

And while teams have often managed to get Ferns for assisstance, usually it isn't to the degree that Rob and Amber managed and surprisingly all of their Fern's did know who they were.  Unlike the other Fern's that just help out of hte kindness to strangers (though strangers with a camera clue).

While I think they still would have been a good team (and tough competition), I think there race average would have taken a good sized hit.

Task
Signal: Oh and also there is some info about their "task" in Ylöjärvi. Obviously it was some kind of obstacle course at swamp 
The landowner of the area is keeping his mouth shut, but nearby neighbours reported a helicopter and lots of people including security who kept the nosy ones far. The famous clue box was also seen there.
article: AMAZING RACE WAS HERE?

If the travelling route of Amazing Race would finally reach Finland, then where would
the american reality-tv makers head for? Cultural sights that we don't have, or to the
crowded national parks in Lapland? Eyewitnesses have said that production crew looking
very much like the Amazing Race was seen in the middle on June on obstacle course at swamp
in Ylöjärvi.
Foreign production crew with fire trucks and helicopters circling the sky didn't go
unnoticed by local residents, even thought that security personnel kindly prevented the curious ones
to not come too close. Contestants speaking english ran with yellow/black envelopes and cameramen
filming also a box matching the descriptions of the series clue box on a nearby road.

The area is privately owned beautiful swamp area, which in this time of year has nests of cranes
and swans. At winter the 40 hectare swamp is used for skiing. Owner of the land area is not saying anything,
and the production team is not revealing the routes of the still unseen episodes.

Signal: *I heard from a reliable source that some woman had talked with one couple in the train and the couple said that they had flown from Madagascar to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Tampere and Ylöjärvi and then they had to travel with a train to Turku where they must find the cars and drive to quarry mines in Lohja. What happened after that is unknown.
* "Yes, they were also in Tampere week ago friday (june 16th), or actually Ylöjärvi, close to my home. I heard about it from my aunt who drives a taxi, and she had taken one couple from Tampere train station to Ylöjärvi and back. They were hurrying to catch the train to Turku. My aunt was first a bit shocked when few dark skinned americans passed others in the queue and jumped to the car with a man sitting on the front seat who had a  huge camera"

*There was another sighting at the Helsinki train station june 16th. A "chinese" looking couple was seen running in the station with a camera man, and they had two other couples following them

Heres the Tytyri mine  (http://www.kaupunki.lohja.fi/matkailupalvelukeskus/default.asp?sivu=85&alasivu=95&kieli=826)and the  Tytyri limestone mine

 (http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/jarnef/comenius/tytyri.htm)
Tytyri mine museum, Lohja. Mining has been a source of livelihood in Lohja since the 16 th century, when Gustavus Vasa, King of Sweden and Finland gave his permission to start the first iron mine in this country. Limestone was first excavated in 1897 and industrial mining began in 1911. It became partly subterranean in 1947 when great blocks were droped from the surface quarry to a crushing plant, 110 metres deeper. In 1956 all mining was under the ground. Today the miners work at 350 metres. The network of tunnels crisscrossning under the lake and the town is over 60 kilometres long. A museum demonstrating the work in Tytyri mine was opened on a level 110 metres below the surface, in May 1988. For further information call Lohja Tourist Information, telephone, 019-3691 309 or Lohja Museum telephone, 019-3694 203
city of  Tampere, Finland  (http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/jhartel/Tampere.htm)
Here's the stadium tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tower_of_the_Helsinki_Olympic_Stadium.jpg) (72m). Kmz attached.

Phil was spotted in a park/restaurant in Helsinki, wich could also be true. Was he on the job or just having a drink is unknown

Just so happens there is a famous restaurant near Olympic Stadium (next to Opeara House) and in/near a park.  Perhaps Phil was having a coffee at Restaurant Töölönranta (http://www.royalravintolat.com/toolonranta/index_eng.asp).   :-\   hey, it could happen    ;D  (see .kmz file attached)


Cool -- thanks, Signal!

Signal, do you know if all the Finland stuff happened 6/16? It seems like a lot. Maybe we have 2 legs in Finland before they move on to Spain?

Well, they were seen in Helsinki-Vantaa airport 16th, climbing the Helsinki Olympic Stadium tower 16th, Tampere and Ylöjärvi 16th, Turku 16th, so it looks like all happened same day. But I have to say that many have said that they've seen the participants here in the weekend (17th-18th) also, but cannot confirm that. The cars were seen in the highway probably going to port of Hanko in early last week, but I think they were just returning the cars to Germany, since the cars seen had german license plates just like in Turku. As mentioned before they were supposed to go Lohja with cars from Turku and there's no sightings after Turku so they could've went anywhere,  it's possible that there was other tasks to do somewhere and maybe they had to spent a night somewhere? that's just a guess.

It does seem quite a lot for one day, but example train trip Helsinki-Tampere takes just 2 hours, Ylöjärvi is less than 20 km's from Tampere, and train from Tampere to Turku takes about 2 hours also, so it's not that much travelling.

To me it sounds very boring actually, so I really hope they went some other places.
I got some new info,

Few sources have said that the race continued to Belarus after Finland. And I don't think it was just a connection point.
Oh and also there is some info about their "task" in Ylöjärvi. Obviously it was some kind of obstacle course at swamp :D
The landowner of the area is keeping his mouth shut, but nearby neighbours reported a helicopter and lots of people including security who kept the nosy ones far. The famous clue box was also seen there.

FWIW, here's something about swamps (http://www.ylojarvi.fi/english/nature/) in Ylöjärvi.

Interesting quote:
There are only few swamps in this area. One swamp called Tappisuo around Lake Kotamusjärvi and Taaborinvuori area has remained in its natural state.

Edited to add:  WebCam of market area of town (http://www.ylojarvi.fi/english/webcam/)

Yeah, the clothes are confusing me, Puddin. ??? The Finnish spoilers seemed to put everything in the order listed above, and it does make the most sense in terms of travel.

ETA: Maybe when they found out they were doing mud, they threw on clothes that covered as much of their body as possible? Long pants? I know it's a reach but...
Title: Re: EP9: 'Being Polite Sucks Sometimes ' * video !! *
Post by: mswood on November 06, 2006, 02:42:48 PM
Well with two train rides one to the Detour and one to the roadblock.

We can assume which teams travel together.

We can guess (unless hours of operations are at eitehr tasks which is also quite possible).

T&J/D&K seen in same frame doing both detour and Roadblock.

R&K/ Cho's seen at detour in the same frame.

But could be either at roadblock.

Though I would have assumed its Cho's being lale for a train with having to do the repel being afraid of heights.

If we get more footage, perhaps we can judge some other progress.

Though not seeing Bama in the same frame at the detour hints that it might be them (of course, again thats if there aren't hours f operation that equilize all 5 teams).

THE TEAMS ARE FACED WITH A CLAUSTROPHOBIC ROADBLOCK AND ONE RACER COMES FACE-TO-FACE WITH THEIR FEAR OF HEIGHTS,
ON "THE AMAZING RACE 10," SUNDAY, NOV. 12

"Being Polite Sucks Sometimes" --
*The teams are faced with a challenging Roadblock that will test the racers' ability to stay calm in a claustrophobic setting,
*while one racer struggles to overcome their fear of heights, on THE AMAZING RACE 10, Sunday, Nov. 12 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
*As the intensity of the race picks up, one team's kind nature is put to the test when another team jumps in front of them in the taxi line. 
*Meanwhile, another team's frustration sets in when they miss a train, causing them to lose precious time.

at least it sure sounds like the Lyn's:
"Yes, they were also in Tampere week ago friday (june 16th), or actually Ylöjärvi, close to my home. I heard about it from my aunt who drives a taxi, and she had taken one couple from Tampere train station to Ylöjärvi and back. They were hurrying to catch the train to Turku. My aunt was first a bit shocked when few dark skinned americans passed others in the queue and jumped to the car with a man sitting on the front seat who had a  huge camera"

Yeah, I am beating that the Bama girls get Tyler & James' cab.  It doesn't sound like Rob and Kimberly and certainly not Dustin and Kandice (who would probably get into a cat fight in the street over it), and I don't think it sounds like Erwin and Godwin.  I think Erwin and Godwin would actually get more upset, since this is part of their alliance.  And while they understand they have to compete, I think Erwin and Godwin would feel just a little betrayed by it.

This sounds more like low level moaning.  Which match the attitude they had in leg two when Peter and Lauren pushed ahead at the counter for train tickets.

Perhaps waiting for hours of operation?

Perhaps at the fake pit stop finding out the race is still on.

In the insider video's for this week.  Rob & Kimberly and Tyler and James discuse who tey should yield, and the general consensus is teh Beauty Queens or The Cho's but it leans to the Beauty Queens due to how they have raced the last four legs.

And if thats them at a Yiled, thats the happiest damn team ever to be Yileded.

Just more evidence that the mud might come before the Roadblock and other stuff  :nods , If you read back you can see that Signal mentions the teams were spotted for more than one day..

Slowhatch I wish we knew how to get Signal to come back  :yess:

( remember this is way back when before we had new info and details )
Cool -- thanks, Signal!

Signal, do you know if all the Finland stuff happened 6/16? It seems like a lot. Maybe we have 2 legs in Finland before they move on to Spain?

Well, they were seen in Helsinki-Vantaa airport 16th, climbing the Helsinki Olympic Stadium tower 16th, Tampere and Ylöjärvi 16th, Turku 16th, so it looks like all happened same day. But I have to say that many have said that they've seen the participants here in the weekend (17th-18th) also, but cannot confirm that. The cars were seen in the highway probably going to port of Hanko in early last week, but I think they were just returning the cars to Germany, since the cars seen had german license plates just like in Turku. As mentioned before they were supposed to go Lohja with cars from Turku and there's no sightings after Turku so they could've went anywhere,  it's possible that there was other tasks to do somewhere and maybe they had to spent a night somewhere? that's just a guess.

It does seem quite a lot for one day, but example train trip Helsinki-Tampere takes just 2 hours, Ylöjärvi is less than 20 km's from Tampere, and train from Tampere to Turku takes about 2 hours also, so it's not that much travelling.

To me it sounds very boring actually, so I really hope they went some other places.

How about this? We know they go to the Helsinki train station  --which is connected by an underground tunnel to Stockmann's Department Store ("a Helsinki institution")--which has an Internet Cafe on the first floor!

Did we get this page (http://www.overdrive.fi/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84243&sid=14dabd899c49d9cc37513e241b4fff5f) the first time around? The posts start on 16 June and it mentions Turku, Helsinki, Madagascar, etc. I ran it through an online translator, which was a giant waste of time. One sample (original and translation):

Slowhatch, this one (http://www.overdrive.fi/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84243&sid=14dabd899c49d9cc37513e241b4fff5f) Signal translated here (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,8610.msg127589.html#msg127589) .Maybe you can piece the words together with that?  :lol:
"On the way there it was exciting when a group of people with camera and sound crews came aboard from Tampere (express train 920) carrying backpacks.
After the journey beginned I found out that they were The Amazing Race's upcoming season's participants and of course camera crews etc.
It will be the the series 10th season that will be aired in the US in the fall, in Finland maybe next year. In the gallery you can find some pics.
When arriving to Turku we got the chance to see the participants jumping to rental cars in front of the train station and then headed to the city with cameramen
and helicopter following them."

Mustamakkara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustamakkara) is a type of sausage found in Tampere. Maybe the poster was buying some sausage when the race passed by, or...maybe the racers had to eat 1.5 kg of it.

Yeah, Chateau!  :jumpy: The timing on the rappel makes much more sense now.

So I'm thinking they hit the internet cafe in Helsinki first,
Then the swamp detour in Ylojarvi,
Then change clothes,
Then head to Turku,
Then drive to the Tytyri mine roadblock in Lohja,
Then head back to Helsinki for the rappel,
Then find Phil for the TBC.

Now it's all coming together.  :tup:

*1--Okay, guys--we still have to get them out of Antananarivo to Helsinki! They still have 15-18 hours of flying ahead of them!

Was there an extended pitstop in Madagascar? Cause checking Airwise (http://travel.airwise.com/schedules/), there are no flights on June 14th TNR to Helsinki...(didn't check unusual connections, ie via Jo-burg...)

On June 15th, they can catch an Air France/Finnair via Paris (CDG) departing at 0130 and arriving at either 4:15PM or 7:20PM (depending on connections out of CDG) OR
Air Madagascar departing 10:30PM and arriving (again via CDG) at either 2:50Pm+1 or 4:15PM+1, depending on connections.-- too late for what they have scheduled--OR
There is a Corsair flight that leaves at 10:15AM and arrives (via Orly-Paris) at 0245+1 in Helsinki...this would be great time wise but I can't confirm that this flight was available on June 14 or 15--Airwise doesn't show it.

I'm new to this--anybody out here with more experience?   ???  We have to get them to Helsinki for a VERY full day on the 16th!

*2--puddin--in searching for an Internet cafe--try to match up the windows! That's the biggest clue we have...That's why I like Stockmann's....

*3--and just because I love my new picture posting skill  ;)--

Sometimes those flight schedules (e.g. Airwise) are incomplete/misleading. More than once, flights have shown up on the Race that didn't pop up on Airwise IIRC.

Well, they were seen in Helsinki-Vantaa airport 16th, climbing the Helsinki Olympic Stadium tower 16th, Tampere and Ylöjärvi 16th, Turku 16th, so it looks like all happened same day.

This statement from Signal tells me that they arrived on the morning of the 16th.  For example on Lufthansa 573/3100 from Frankfurt arrived at 10:30 am (originating from J-burg 8:15 pm on the 15th).

It makes for a tight, but possible, schedule to do all the tasks and get back to the stadium in Helsinki by 10 pm.

I'd rather see them doing the stadium rappel on the 15th and then all the other stuff on the 16th.

Heeee, me too! I know I'd have to go right to bed for a week if I did that! Oooh--face down!

Thanks for the flight help everybody--one of you will find it I'm sure!

What (if anything) do we know for sure about NEL's and TBC's based on who has been seen where? Is Finland supposed to be either?
 and is there ANY doubt about whether it is the Cho's or the BQ's who go out next? I thought it was Cho's then BQ's but is this for SURE?

I try to keep up but....

Has anyone been able to get a logo from the rappelling helmets? I've been rummaging in mountaineering forums in Helsinki but no luck so far...

Post by: puddin on November 07, 2006, 03:47:59 PM
This Sunday I'm guessing a TBC, we can't lose another Racer yet with so many legs to go plus lack of Finland confessionals vs Ukraine's Tyler & James conf that we saw in EP7 & 8 but you know that already right peach?
I think the NEL's go hand in hand with the Fast Forwards ..its a way to let the marked team come in first so I think we're done with them.
Cho's or BQ's eliminated next..editing and a gut feeling is telling me the BQ's go before the Cho's.The BQ's are a little too over confident right now and the editors are making them the villain's where as the Cho's are the Good Natured guys.
Sightings of the team drop off after Finland ..to Paris. So yeah again it's the Cho's or BQ's next elim leg.

Yeah, even with out spoilers, based on the edit of the show both on footage in teh episodes and footage in the clips, Dustin and Kandice arrogance, expecially concerning the other female team, really seems to make them out to be teh surprise earlier boot of the women teams.  ANd I would love it if the Cho's lasted longer then D & K.  Though I honestly don't expect it.

SOOOOOO what are we looking for besides Bowsers?
i'm interested in that shot of the Cho's and what appears to be in the dark? maybe the mines before the roadblock? Yielded? Also I've been thinking about the clue where one team jumps ahead of a " kind natured" team. After reading that TV Guide blurb on The Cho's being the nicest guys in the world... I think they are the only team that fits the " kind natured" description? Probably the BQ's taking advantage of the Cho's?

Good insider clip,
Tyler and James and Rob and Kimberly Plan Ahead (http://video.cgi.cbs.com/vplayer3/play.pl?type=rm&width=480&height=360&feat=vplayer&adtype=pre&arena=video&prod=innertube&id=119835&ord=36748.119805979724)
James talk about the final 4, they think the Bama's & Kentucky will be out by then.
They talk about getting the BQ's on their side to yield the Cho's unless one of their teams gets to the yield first then they will Yield the BQ's. Kim says she'd much rather have the Cho's in the final 3 than the BQ's because they are tougher than the Cho's, they Cho's have never beaten them etc ..

Maybe goes like this:

While trying to get a taxi the BQ's jump in front of the Chos. It's not in the Chos nature to fight over it and they let the girls get away with it. (sounds like the Chos right?)
When the Chos get to the next destination they find they have been yielded.

It could even refer to the Lyns taking their cab. The six-pack was officially gone (dismembered  :lol:) when D/M left. Now the Lyns might show their true colors and drop the Chos like hotcakes. Not to say that the Lyns yield the Chos but the Chos letting someone get ahead of them because they were polite could lead them to arrive at the yield last. Anyway, the Chos spent this whole time waiting for and pulling along those backpacks teams. Now they finally see that the Lyns just aren't as nice as them when they leave the Chos behind.

I think the Chos are the next team out and spend a little more time with D/M in sequesterville.  :( The 4th place team doesn't go (usually anyway) and D/M are mad at the BQ's. If they would have had some time together in sequesterville maybe they would have mended fences. Maybe the reason that D/M asked about taking the Chos with them on a cruise (on the View) is because they know what the Lyns did on this leg.

Ok, I'm rambling.  B:)

Are you sure Puddin cause the CBS site always lists the teams by name left to right. And in the video the driver (larger one) called the little bitchy one Karlyn.

I always thought the smaller one was the queen biotch. Remember her mouth in the airport when the BQ's were helping T/J?

P.S. It's at 2:06 in the video when she says her name.

Early on we had fingered the African American female team as the one getting Philiminated in Finland. But then we had the sighting of them, the models, and the dating couple all together in Paris and on the flight to New York. 

So if the latter holds up, then either the Chos or the Beauty Queens are marked for elimination.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if we are all dead wrong and the three teams sighted together in Paris and on the flight to New York were well placed decoys?

I would love that especially since the thought of the Lyns having a chance of winning make me cringe. I do like Tyler and James though. Another forum is passing around the idea that we could have a final 2 instead of a final 3. Guess the next elimination is the only sure way of knowing.

And when either the Cho's or BQ's are eliminated next I suppose the other forum will be saying that the final team races to the finish and R/K J/T L/K are decoys? :lol: Come on!?

Hey I still don't know Tyler from James - both are hawt. I didn't know which Lyn was which until I looked it up.

Darn...thought there might be a new promo on Survivor...but no such luck! I'm officially in spoiler withdrawal now.
But I've been going back and reading "Spoilers: The Early Days"--and I can only say WOW! It is so much fun to see now how you guys  step-by-step slowly but surely found all the clues that CBS ever so miserly doled out. I'm only sorry I missed out on all the early fun!
So...while we're waiting for the next clues-- is anybody going to TARcon?



P.S.  Thanks for the eye candy qingher!

Seems the AOL webmonkeys only release the next episode early every other week :D. I'm not giving up hope though,lol.
Still we should get a short clip for this episode on either tv.com, celebrityspider, or msn etc .. My guess is it will be mud if anything?

tarcon ..no  :'( , one of these days I'll get there to get my Fill of Phil :luvu:

I think Tyer & James are the first team as well to do the repel.

I think he would be feeling more confidet (even if scared) after seeing others do it.  And they do say he would freak if he was the first one.

Thanks puddin!  Thanks banzai!

Better them than me--for sure!

I've been looking for the mountaineering group that could have done this, but no luck so far...no logo's anywhere, right?

So this is a detour or task, the swamp is a detour or task, and the roadblock is the bike ride in the caves?  And who for sure does the roadblock--Kandice, ?James, did we see Cho's or Bama's?

And for sure now, this is either a TBC or NEL (no teams on TES), right?  And pictures from home--sounds like a Survivor reward challenge  ;)

Just trying to make sure I've got it right... :js:

Task
Signal: Oh and also there is some info about their "task" in Ylöjärvi. Obviously it was some kind of obstacle course at swamp 
The landowner of the area is keeping his mouth shut, but nearby neighbours reported a helicopter and lots of people including security who kept the nosy ones far. The famous clue box was also seen there.
article: AMAZING RACE WAS HERE?

If the travelling route of Amazing Race would finally reach Finland, then where would
the american reality-tv makers head for? Cultural sights that we don't have, or to the
crowded national parks in Lapland? Eyewitnesses have said that production crew looking
very much like the Amazing Race was seen in the middle on June on obstacle course at swamp
in Ylöjärvi.
Foreign production crew with fire trucks and helicopters circling the sky didn't go
unnoticed by local residents, even thought that security personnel kindly prevented the curious ones
to not come too close. Contestants speaking english ran with yellow/black envelopes and cameramen
filming also a box matching the descriptions of the series clue box on a nearby road.

The area is privately owned beautiful swamp area, which in this time of year has nests of cranes
and swans. At winter the 40 hectare swamp is used for skiing. Owner of the land area is not saying anything,
and the production team is not revealing the routes of the still unseen episodes.

Trains
Signal: *I heard from a reliable source that some woman had talked with one couple in the train and the couple said that they had flown from Madagascar to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Tampere and Ylöjärvi and then they had to travel with a train to Turku where they must find the cars and drive to quarry mines in Lohja. What happened after that is unknown.
* "Yes, they were also in Tampere week ago friday (june 16th), or actually Ylöjärvi, close to my home. I heard about it from my aunt who drives a taxi, and she had taken one couple from Tampere train station to Ylöjärvi and back. They were hurrying to catch the train to Turku. My aunt was first a bit shocked when few dark skinned americans passed others in the queue and jumped to the car with a man sitting on the front seat who had a  huge camera"

*There was another sighting at the Helsinki train station june 16th. A "chinese" looking couple was seen running in the station with a camera man, and they had two other couples following them
 

Tarballs:
More info about the Finland spoiler: Some teams and camera crews were spotted at Turku's railway station at 5:20 pm last friday. Teams drove off towards east with Mercedeses.

Wonder why we don't see the Bama's on the Roadblock...FF's are all gone so maybe it is just a fluke.

My previous time estimate for this shot was wrong (damn wide angle lens!).

This is now a much sharper image and it gives a very sharp estimate of the time.  Can anybody guess what sets the clock so tight here?

This shot was taken between 8:30 and 8:33 pm (assumes June 16th).

Chateau (or anybody else), do you have a time line as to when the teams checked into the pitstop last week?

Also, the picture of James (or Tyler) going down the building:  you say it's around 8:30pm, and yet it's light outside, not dark.  Can you explain this please? ???    Thanks. ;D

Post by: mswood on November 12, 2006, 03:04:40 PM
Depending on the latitude of the area they are in (and since this was filmed in summer) the higher north you are the longer you have daylight.

As someone who had lived 26 years in Alaska, during summer while we do have sunset (at least in most of the state), we for the July and August often have enough light throughout the whole night (ie sun as set, but its so close to the horizen that it never truely gets dark).

Of course for winter the reverse is true where we would only get 4-6 hours of sunlight (and if you had a day job without windows you went without seeing the sun) and of course even further north they go literally without the sun rising.
Title: Re: EP9: 'Being Polite Sucks Sometimes ' * video !! *

So what times do you think the teams leave the pitstop (or when did they arrive last week)?

One more thing:  I'm trying to go through all the posts and am trying to determine which is the roadblock and the detour.   ???

Post by: puddin on November 12, 2006, 03:29:22 PM
A few pages back Chateau explains that in Finland they have unending daylight hours during summer..unlike us.

at Twop's (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=2766846&view=findpost&p=6544213) Chateau and the other members do an excellent timeline :

Quote
I was working on some time estimates at home and I will get it finished in a day or so.

But so far, I've got that the BQ's checked in at 2:43 pm.

And for the rest:

T&J at 2:56
R&K at 3:03
Chos at 3:15
Alabama at later than 4:00 but before 4:45 with Kentucky arriving about 5 min before them.


eta more on Finland:

Summer
The sun doesn't set at all up north for two whole months (June - July) and even in the south the nights are just to slip into the early hours of dusk. Summer is the time of the midnight sun.

The spoilers obviously we correct. But will anyone be eliminated in Finland? or will the race just continue to Kiev?

One funny thing that I noticed on the CBS website was that in the map they had joined Estonia and Finland :)

Hi Signal!   :hello2:   :hithere:

I'm pretty new around here, but I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for all your information and help! It is really thanks to you that we knew all about the Finland leg, and I, for one, had a great time learning a little more about your beautiful country! Now I would like to visit Helsinki, travel by train, and NOT rappel down the Olympic Tower! And it is also thanks to you that we found out about Madagascar and could anticipate all the excitement there. So again, we are VERY glad you are here and hope you will stay around for all the fun to come! :thankyou:

 Phil's photos  (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race10/shows/ep09/phil/photos/?id=1) from this week show him in a location I don't think we had previously identified (Thanks to TWoP):

Senate Square and the Lutheran Cathedral--could this be the non-pitstop?

I don't think they need a non-pitstop.........the teams received a clue as well as cash. I think they just keep racing, no Phil involved until the final pitstop.
eta: if thats what you mean by a " non-pitstop?"

Just wondered if we would see the racers here before they go off to Kiev? Or is Phil just hanging out?

And then there is Phil in Waders!

I'm watching realityremix and spot this in the opening when Phil tells us where teams have to fly.
