The Amazing Race 16 Sightings/Info: Tweets Go here please!
puddin:
So Boingo did good alerting the media, now the Singaporeans are waking up to what they might have witnessed :cmas26
puddin:
I agree TARandJJFan, you all have been a wonderful addition to the TAR spoiling and we are grateful to all that contribute. I don't think Joab was saying that we don't appreciate you all. In addition to the BB fans we are coming off of TARLA and TAR15 plus many are viewing past seasons of TAR. I think South Africa is now watching TAR14 and Lord only knows what Countries are viewing what seasons just now so it all gets frustrating at times trying to sort out what TAR everyone is talking about.
Don't stop bringing us twitters! We are on the home stretch! Keep it coming !! :yess: :jam:

"JEJO WERE PHOTOGRAPHED FILMING THE AMAZING RACE IN MEXICO" :cmas50

Since JeJo were spoiled to be on the race, their fans have been posting loads of TAR related tweets which i think were really quite annoying and a hindrance to TAR spoiling. Sorry JeJo fan... but flipping through 10 pages of tweets to read only about JeJo being on the race, was really annoying.

Actually, all the tweets that I ever saw posted on here simply just had the words "Amazing Race" in them. Were the fans of Jeff & Jordan hoping they had something to do with Jeff & Jordan on TAR? I'm sure they were. But, all that extra help that those fans provided, IMO, helped a lot more than it hindered. A lot of those fans were trying to find posts that gave clues as to where the teams were too. I've been watching TAR ever since season 6. But, I also am a BB & Jeff and Jordan fan. I haven't spent any time at all searching for information. But, there were a lot of people that spent hours searching through twitter & travel blogs in order to find out where teams were at. That's a lot of extra help from Jeff and Jordan fans that never would have been there. At this point the only other team that had been photographed during the course of the race that had been suspected as being eliminated were the G/G team. There just hasn't been any information about other teams. Had there been more, I'm sure that would have been discussed here, as well.

Great Post :cmas16 I honestly had a harder time seaching through tweets and FB posts regarding people watching TAR then i did about JEJO fans tweeting about them racing. Plus it was Jejo fans who joined the efforts to search for TAR sightings and found a few tidbits that may have been overlooked. Not to diminish the amazing work of the TAR detectives here, because they are unparalleled IMO, but I don't think it's necessary to beat up on the JEJO fans anymore then they already have been from the likes of people like that bitchy Blogger person, who I'm onthe record for thinking she's full of crap, i mean who puts out two conflicting reports from the same source.
I mean really. ... so you're source says they spotted JEJO in Germany, ok, then a week later, your same source says that they have sources that say JEJO were out 2nd or 3rd, wouldn't that same source say "that can't be true!" to their source since they claim to have seen JEJO in Germany themselves? It just mkes no sense. :cmas12

at b.batok. blk 334 under the void deck there got mama shop there will be the pit stop.

I've been looking into this post from the message forum. b.batok blk 334 (Bukit Batok Block 334) is apparently an apartment or condominium building. From some research, I found that a mama shop is a convenience store operated by an individual, not a corporation. It is usually located on the ground floor public area (also called the void area) of the condominium and offers cheap snacks, magazines and toys, anything that the building residents might need. Below this post is a picture I found of a mama store.
There appears to be nothing too special about the apartment building. However, there are several detour or roadblock possibilities nearby. It is across the road from the Bukit Batok Driving Centre (where driving tests are conducted) and the Bukit Batok Golf Range (not a golf course, just a driving range). Maps also show a Home Team Adventure Center and I found a school newsletter at http://snipurl.com/tqr0z. The newsletter shows kids at the Adventure Center walking along a wire suspended well above ground, rock climbing, paddling a dragon boat and rappelling (or maybe that's a zip line). There are also 4 primary and secondary schools and an old folks home within a few blocks. The Bukit Gombak stadium is about a half mile or so away. It was a 3000 seat soccer stadium and is now used as a Center of Excellence for the Singapore Athletic Association.
I've tried to post a satellite image, but I don't have the knack. I'll leave that for others. I used the map and satellite image at http://singapore.gumtree.sg/c-ViewMap?AdId=170492398. I'd put the image in, but I don't want to hot link it and I think it would post the entire page.
I'm not sure I believe this is where the pit stop was located, but it is somewhat protected and isolated from large numbers of people. It wouldn't be the strangest pit stop ever.

There's also some speculation about meeting "PCK" or "LKY and familee" or "the prata man". I assume these are local celebrities and are pure speculation.

FYI, PCK is of course, Phua Chu kang, the joker-character (yellow boots, curly hair, big mole on his face) that gave away the clues to teams who did the "Dry" detour in Singapore in TAR3.
LKY stands for Lee Kuan Yew, the "legendary" ex-prime minister and leader of all leaders so-to-speak of modern Singapore. I highly doubt he'll be involved in TAR?
And the prata man i have no idea. prata is probably related to roti prata, a local india-inspired delicacy where flour is eaten with curry. perhaps to find someone who makes these pratas? (quite a lot of skill is needed to make the pratas, btw. its a bit like pizza-making)
