The Amazing Race is coming to Norway!
Norwegian TV-channel "TV2" will film their version of the show starting in january 2012.
http://www.tv2.no/underholdning/front/du-kan-bli-med-paa-en-eventyrlig-reise-3567934.html
The description seems very much like the other versions of the show, so that's good :)
When the show does air, if non-norwegians wants to see it, I can translate it if someone just shows me how! (And if someone makes a torrent out of it).
According to Wikipedia, the host will be Norwegian soccer player Freddy Dos Santos.
The show will premiere in April, so I guess the race will be filmed in january/february. The race will start and finish in Oslo.
Thanks everyone! Stay tuned!
LOVE we get the contestants reveal today!!peach Tar latin season 3 is that in stoclkholm
Our first snowy start?
Possible/probable start line:
Ullevaal Stadion Oslo.
One of the tweets I found had the racers at the Dubai Mall running past P. F. Chang's restaurant. I looked at a map of the mall and P. F. Chang's is on the Lower Ground floor. That floor has dozens of restaurants, Arabic clothing stores and numerous banks. I can't see anything they would be going to except that there appears to an elevator going to the 124th floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa tower, the tallest building in the world. My speculation is that they are headed there. However, Dubai Mall is the largest mall in the world, so it's very possible they could be going somewhere else.

There is a snow areas inside the mall, isn't it?

I think so. TAR went to the ski slope several seasons back but I'm not sure if was there or if there is another mall in Dubai where it might be. They could be going there.
Here's an article about the teams from Norwegian TAR. I'm fairly certain it's the first time a team has been interviewed the day before the race.

It's too long to copy here. It dwells quite a bit on one of the F/F teams that happens to be Lesbians and discusses their hopes to have 6 children and a big home. Also about how the pressures of the race might affect their relationship. There's some information about all the teams and some different pictures from what we have.
The source from Plaidmoon said teams will issue ticket out of Dubai tomorrow via travel agent...
but I let Plaidmoon do the specs... :)

I don't see that information from any of the sources I contacted, but it certainly seems likely to me.
Feel free to speculate. Your ideas are as good as mine.
I am not seeing that either, can you post the tweet please?
That route is SPECULATED only, topaz. Some has not yet been confirmed.

Sorry, must be the dumb norwegians who block other countries. I can't find those at youtube, but I can try to take some screens.
If someone can get me a download of that I will cap it for you...
an intro has apparentely been released, here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llUYekI_V8I&feature=related
I must say, I'm unimpressed. The editing is all over the place, the music and shots barely match up (if at all) and it was just a poor setup of an opening. I hope it doesn't indicate the editing skills of the editors, that would suck.
I still remember watching TARAus1 opening, I was blown away, the great enhanced music, the stylistic cinematography, the semi-return of cheesy head turns. It was an amazing version. This one... eh.... not so much.

It's an intro....chill out...
And we are not Australia. Maybe we should wait for the show to air before starting to critize it?
I will *try* to subtitle it somehow. I am getting some excellent help, so I hope I will be able to do it so that everyone can enjoy it.

I wonder if Karim & Kablat are muslims as Muslims are forbidden to consume pork but handling it should be ok if the hands are washed properly according to Muslim rites. Almost all racers wiped their hands with the table cloth before receiving the clue... :lol:
Some disadvantages of being a Muslim/Jewish/Hindu racer or a vegetarian racer are eating pork/beef and meat/milk/egg.
Khabat's a Muslim, it's on his Facebook info. Karim is most probably one too...
:hello2:, sveped and :wel2 to the R.F.F.!
That Wikipedia page is getting there! It looks really good, and it's so much closer to being done! Thank you!Thank you! It has been fun to work with the page. I have also started on Wikipedia-pages about The Amazing Race Norge in norwegian :cmaslol (To write Wikipedia-pages is kind of addicting :cmaslol)
Sigh. This is NOT a wishlist thread. No more, please.Sorry about that, Georgiapeach :cmas27
It looks like we're only missing two things! The leg in Uribelarrea, and any Additional Tasks on the last leg in Norway.
Yay! I'm so happy to finally have the race route completed! Thanks a lot Sveped.
I believe there is only one more thing missing from the Norge 2 Wiki page (though this may not even be an issue at all)
Did any of the teams receive penalties, time credits of any kind? Did anyone quit a task or arrived at the Pit Stop only to be turned away? I know it's possible that every single team went through each leg without any issue, but I find it a little unlikely :P
