Hi, I'm new to this site. Let's play a game!! I'll post 2 pictures of a TAR challenge, you have to give me (a) the TAR season (b) the city/country in which it took place. 1 point for each correct answer. Hopefully, people will play and we can keep this going, I think it could be a nice competition and after a month or so we could crown "The Biggest TAR Dork Ever" hahaha.

This is the first time I'm doing this kind of thing, there are clues in the photos but it might turn out to be too hard (I have no idea), in which case I'll post a third picture after a while (everyone should at least get the correct season with the 3rd pic).

Ok, here we go. Again, hopefully, it will catch on...

Season 2. Sugarloaf Mountain.

The city was Rio de Janeiro

The Amazing Race Games board will fit this game perfectly well, and you'll get instance response almost immediately.

Oh I didn't even realize it wasn't there. I just hit unread topics and got excited when this came up.

Welcome to RFF TheZanies! Looks like fun!

I think this may work better in our game board as well, so let me see about moving you there?

http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/board,108.0.html

If you want people to PM the answers to you for scoring purposes, you will need to have at least 5 PM's first.

TheZanies · « **Reply #5 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:25:34 PM »

Ha, sorry guys, didn't know there was a game board, didn't look that far down

The mods can move this there, I don't care.

Oh and Coutzy was right, Season 2 Rio. Man, he's good, he must be the early front-runner for TAR Dork of the Year

Georgia, I thought about that - people PMing me their responses - that avoids situations like this time, when someone gives the correct answer early in the game and it's basically over for everyone else. Is it as fun though? We can do that, if that's what people want.

BTW, this would have been the give away 3rd picture, Wil before that task up Sugar Loaf Mountain:

georgiapeach · « **Reply #6 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:36:34 PM »

I asked puddin about this, and we are going to let it stay right where it is so anyone can chime in...some folks don't enter the Games, don't know why

Up to you how to handle the scoring, just wanted you to be aware of the minimum PM rule so you didn't wonder what was happening!

Coutzy is fast, but we are all TAR lovers around here!

TheZanies · « **Reply #7 on:** October 16, 2009, 01:11:29 PM »

We could do this without the scoring. But would be less fun, no? Personally, I don't care, ain't like I was gonna win it LOL

You're absolutely right about the game board and I speak from experience - if someone had started something like this over there, I would never ever fount it and participated, simply because I didn't know that board existed.

Ok, here we go...(just give me the country this time, this task didn't actually take place in a city)...should be easier than the 1st one, I don't think anyone will need a third photo for this.

Right, the haybale roadblock in Sweden in season 6 where Lena rolled them suckers for 8 COTDAM HOURS (talk about bad luck), one of the most tragic TAR moments ever for me, I almost dam cried, I loved Lena & Kristy

The other 2 are close but no cigar (can certainly understand why you'd say it was Paige and Godwin though).

Tara is correct. Not really a favorite of mine but one of the best female racers ever, IMO.

It's not Erwin either. Hint: the dude is not Asian

Tyler is correct. I think so anyway; he was the one who carried that team, right? James was the useless dude who couldn't read a map to save his life etc., right? It's not the useless one in that pic.

Nope, although Hindus make up half the population of this country.

TheZanies · « **Reply #39 on:** October 17, 2009, 04:21:44 AM »

This is a tough one. Hindus make up half the population of the island nation of Mauritius (season 10), so that's I'm thinking but are you saying the location was not used or that the statue in the picture was used in a detour or roadblock that wasn't aired? A little bit confused here.

I think it is Mauritius. I remember seeing a similar photo in the Season 10 intro.

Raymond and TheZanies split the prize. Grand Bassin was part of the intro caps, but the lake never showed on the race course. The location seems a bit remote for B-roll stuff, but who knows...

TheZanies · « **Reply #43 on:** October 17, 2009, 07:17:43 PM »

I'm strenuously appealing Raymond's ½ point

I mean, I even knew Mauritius had a 50% Hindu population!!! Raymond shouldn't get more than ¼ point!

Slowhatch · « **Reply #51 on:** October 18, 2009, 07:18:01 PM »

Yep. I'm fairly certain it's the Miccosukee airboat dock ("sacred ground to the Native Americans of South Florida"); the trouble is, there should be some sign of the Tamiami Trail (hwy 41) somewhere in the cap, but I don't see it.

theschnauzers · « **Reply #52 on:** October 18, 2009, 07:26:12 PM »

Slowhatch, the location was near the 40 Mile Bend. That is something I confirmed with Drew Riker at TARCON 3. (He lived in Miami at the time, and I grew up in Miami, and I remember knowing exactly where it was when the first previews came out.
