Thanks caper!! She kindly responded right away!


--- Quote --- saw 2 teams of participants in lcct 2day, which is on 8 nov 2010 at around 5am.

They were at the air asia ticketing booth. when i was there at about 4.50am, there were already there waiting for the counters to open. There was a long queue, but both teams are standing at the most front of the queue.

one of the team is formed by 2 girls, and the other team is a couple. There was a camera man with them and another asian guy, which i am not sure whether he is a malaysian.

the girl team: both are blonds, and one of the girls is very tall. The shorter gal wearing red sweater, with her hair braided and was very anxious, while the taller girl was wearing a green sweater (if i remember correctly), with her hair tied. Both of them looked younger than the other team.

for the couple, i dont quite remember about them, but the female was wearing a pink jacket if i am not mistaken.

and when the counters open at about 5.10am, both teams purchase tickets to Ho Chi Minh, and the flight was at 10.35am. LCCT is an airport specially for Air Asia, and it is an Air Asia ticketing booth, so both team should be using Air Asia.

There was a post on the Australian MediaSpy forums as they got on the Bali flight that I wanted to post but looked like it was fake. Looks like there may be some truth in it now:

Posted 9:22pm 5th November:
"they were checked in on jetstar today to bali , only one pair got on an earlier service ( which may have been delayed) their next destination is malaysia or vietnam"

RichInSydney:
More information from the siting on Gili Trawangan island in Bali from a very helpful person on BehindTheBox forums. Unfortunately no live photos:

"I was able to speak to my relative over on Gili T. She has of course, heard of TAR and viewed a few episodes when visiting back home here or the States, but is not a regular viewer. Taking the above into consideration, she was of course interested when filming of TAR was taking place on the Island, but perhaps not nearluy as attentive as yourself or other enthusiasts of the series would be. I hope you are not too disappointed with the minimal information, she was able to provide to me.

I asked if she or anyone else took any photo’s and she said she didn’t believe so.

The filming took approximately 5 hours. During this time each team sat in their own Beruga (see photo below).

They also had a black board|chalk, plus a briefcase which was filled with 2000 rupiah notes (I think each 2000Rp note is equivalent to around 40cents). Each team appeared to be counting the notes and writing on the blackboard. (They were *not* rushed, stressed and/or anyway flustered during the above task, which surprised my relative).

She did not see the Host (Grant). They left the above location in separate cidomo’s (again in an orderly manner|no rushing).

I asked her to describe the team members, she was very vague in this respect, noting she thought there was –2 male slightly overweight twins! A typical mum and dad a couple of good looking girls, 2 guys etc.

There were 2 helicopters hovering overhead on two or three occasions. There was an Australian Crew plus a local Indonesian Crew helping with filming. The Producers hired *all* the Cidomo’s on the Island. She has no idea where they went after the above filming.

Filming took place towards the north end of the Island.
