The Future of The Amazing Race & TAR 12
randomnzer:
I'm quite interested about this NZ sighting. To the best of my knowledge, there are no shows similar to TAR which are produced locally, and in fact, the ratings for TAR have been sliding downhill since season 6, and the most recent season which aired (10), was shown in a bad timeslot.
The closest is an episode of Phil's NOW which aired last year, where 5 teams of 2 people who had never met each other raced across NZ - following closely to the TAR format, but with different terminology. It was a 48hr "challenge", and tasks were fairly limited.
If there's anything I can help with, let me know. I've lived in NZ all my life, and have traveled extensively around both the North and South islands.
Cheers,
randomnzer

Thanks randomnzer! Appreciate the offer and hope we can use your help one day on something more interesting.
We are pretty convinced that this was one of two local events:
Either this youth organization or this mobile phone company
I have obtained the phone # of the youth organizer and I'm sure the other # is findable so if you wanted to do some detecting and find out for sure who sent the teams to play golf here--that would be great! You can send me a PM if you want the # --just let me know!

alright this is weird!
I got an e-mail response from the golf club and this is what they said:
--- Quote ---Hi Michael
The filming was for the Amazing Race
Please let me know who was kicked out - this should never have happened and we sincerely appologise
If you can let me know who it was I will arrange a free round for them
Thanks

Could TAR Asia have started filming earlier? (Are small local tars usually filmed with soundman/cameracrew?)
georgiapeach:
Interesting! If it was for our TAR they would NOT (by contract) have been able to confirm that so it remains very doubtful. I've run up against the "we aren't allowed to say anything" before!
I have already emailed the phone people about their race and am hoping that randomnzer might want to call the Youth race organizer, so we can get more info.
