It's been a few days, so it's time for another rumored TAR version! This one comes from a person who lists himself on Twitter as a Casting/TV Director from Kiev.
Here's a tweet I found in Russian from a few days ago:

Andrey Govorukha
- Планируете адаптировать крупные шоу?
- Мы собираемся адаптировать Amazing race. Это телевизионный квест, в котором участникам за один месяц необходимо объехать весь земной шар. Для того, чтобы добраться до каждой новой точки участник должен разгадать задание, добежать до тайника, найти билет и бежать дальше. Участники – это пары. Пары друзей, пары в разводе, пары родственников и т.д. Со дня на день мы огласим кастинг.

- We are going to adapt the Amazing race. This is a television adventure, in which the parties one month to travel around the globe. In order to get to the point of each new participant has to solve the task, run to the hiding place, to find a ticket and run further. The participants - a pair. Pairs of friends, couples in divorce, a couple of relatives, etc. From day to day, we announce the casting.He also posted this earlier in June:

I suspect these may be efforts to get backing to produce a TAR like show. He's also tweeting about a variety show and a business show, so he may just be throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.
I hope the TAR show gets picked up. We need more versions of TAR, partly because the goal should be 150 versions by 2015.
Then we'll be ready for a 24 hour a day TAR channel.
OK, I have to go work out more details / dream a bit more.
