They are probably talking about watching season 14 episode 3. 14x3 is sometimes how downloaded shows are referred to online.

I can tell you with certainty that TAR 16 has not finished yet, so that comment has to refer to M/C last season. Darn them for not posting about it then!!  :cmaslol

Congrats, Peach! :cmas26

My friends working at Changi have confirmed (re-confirmed, after Joab) that this is none of the three McDonald's in Singapore. Oh, well!

The guy talking about the team fighting being filmed for TAR wrote back and said:
"Mention of TAR was purely a reference to Johnathan & Victoria."
So yet another bust.  :cmas4
Too bad i was hoping they would be going to Australia.

Also now that i think about it, that facebook post could be referring to a past meeting of a team at the airport. Dang it you TAR dectetives make this look easy, it's not...  :groan:

And it's kind of Ironic that a season with people who are previously have known has barely been spoiled at all so far! If this holds up it will make the actual season so much fun in a way, trying to dissect the promos to see what happens, when, and how the episode will work out.

Rich, I too was surprised when I saw the pictures of the KK airport. Apparently they had a makeover in 2008.

I still really think that once the race moves into it's final leg, in the US, we're going to have sightings coming out of our ears, especially if JeJo are one of the final three teams.

Just BC JeJo race in the US doesnt mean they are final 3. BC there are 3 real teams and 3 decoy teams. So they could be either or, but there will be 6 teams racing in the US.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were. Mainly because they are carryovers from another show, and people who are already well known tend to do better than the "regulars." :P

This might be a good time to say then...think before you post. If you truly love the race as we do, you will not do anything that might impede the finale. Can you imagine the final 3 having to dodge a huge crowd of BB lovers on the way to the Mat? A ruined finale could cause the entire season to be scrapped. So think. This season in particular.

We want the finale to be able to be shot in peace. So if you find something related to the finale, think. You may want to consider checking with puddin or me before you post, to see if the info is safe to share, or whether it could impede filming. We did this in Portland when we knew the final location well ahead of time, and it all  worked out. It didn't hurt the spoilers to delay the end location reveal a day or so until the racers were safe. And it may have helped TAR...and we all want more TAR, right??

Twitter may preclude this, we'll have to see. We may not have the luxury of choosing what to reveal. I expect that the city itself may end up being revealed by sightings. But our hope is to have the finale shot in peace...... and THEN we can go to town!!  :yess:

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.  :cmaslol

The new pic posted in the tweets thread sure does look like our TAR. Now that I think about it, the departure list of flights leaving from the airport that it's now believed Phil was at did include quite a few flights to Singapore. In fact, it was basically either Singapore or Kuala Limpur.

Has this happened in the past? I can't honestly see a crowd of BB fans interferring with the finale. First of all, it's kinda hard to get that many BB fans together in one place without proper notice and secondly at the very least, you'd think the TAR producers could mange some crowd control staffers to keep the race path clear. I wont speak for any other BB fan or jejo fans, but if it was me and i managed to catch the finale leg live, I would just sit back and watch, even if your intentions were to try and help JEJO, why would you want to be responsible for endless board chatter about how JEJO only won cause their fans impeded the other racers. If Jeff and Jordan get far in this race, i want them to get full credit for doing a great job, not have their racing ability questioned.

The Truth is that Phil is probably more recognizable then JEJO. As popular as this last season of BB was, it still dosen't compete with TAR ratings. So I guess thats why i couldn't imagine an incident as you described.

That said GO TEAM JEJO  :cmas9 And I yeild to all you awesome TAR chasers here, I suck at it and am in awe of your tenacity.

Go read the thread when the race (TAR 13) finished in Portland...it was insane that day. And yes, had we posted the info we had, it could very well have ruined the finale.

I am not saying just BB fans, but TAR fans, curiousity seekers, media...all that changes things. I just want us to be careful of the final location, is all.

Understandable, I mean i get people wanting to be there to watch it, but I guess it takes all kinds to try and interfer with the outcome. Heck I was mad at the train in season 6 that stopped Kris and Jon, and that was uncontrollable, I can't imagine how miffed i'd be if it was fans in the way.

Okay...help me think this through.

We saw Phil at McD's in what we now believe is Penang airport about 5PM on the 14th.

Say he was done with teams by 2PM or so....and IF they had a 36 hour pitstop...then theoretically they could be released around 2AM on the 16th...in which case the first flight they could get puts them into Singapore 12-16 about 1045 AM on the 16th, giving them time to do tasks and be done before joab got there.


Right? or not?? ??? anyway...we should be able to figure out possible timings for the last leg or two...

Here are the Penang to Singapore flights for reference. First is the 15th, second is the 16th.

The point of this being that that teams could be going to the airport again soon, and oh wouldn't we love to know the next stop??  Sometime after 12-2AM if it is a 12 hour pitstop.... but prob can't get out so soon.

so someone checking the airport would be wonderful. :luvu:

So if they had a 12 hr pitstop and leave pit between 12-2am. Then get the airport to fly out. There are a few popular cities.
Three flights to Johannesburg at 2:30am
Four flights to hong kong at 2:05am and one at 3am, tewo more at 6:50am
Four flights to Bangkok one at 3:30am and one at 3:55 am, two more at 6:45am
Two to Tokyo both at 6am
Three to Kuala Lumpur all at 6:45am
