TARF8 ( Family) Spoilers
puddin:
Looking at the teams , Id go ahead and say this was a false report or decoy , or am I missing something here ?
Based on his conversations with other folks at both Terrapin Point and Joseph Davis State Park, both of the other two earlier teams are also said to be comprised of "fairly average" white families with children, with one park ranger telling him that although the two teams were jumbled together when they ran by, one team appeared to comprised of three children and only one parent.
The teams? The first two are VERY vague. Just average white american families, I was told...at least four kids, possibly five, and possibly one team with three kids. One of the women was very large...around 6 foot and 250lbs.
The team I SAW was a couple with two kids. Both kids were girls. The dad was rather plain and his older daughter (16?) was much more athletic and pretty with dark hair. The wife was a bit out of shape and looked like a normal american housewife a bit frumpy - no outstanding good or bad features while the other daughter was about 11 or 12 with lighter hair and also a bit out of shape.
This was not a typical Final 3 team.
Ottopart:
I'm also not seeing a Dad with a lot of tatoos. --at least not on the arms.
puddin:
Yeah, Palpatine has been quiet he said he would be around once the website was up to let us know which team is his family .

puddin:

Yeah, sorry to report, none of those teams are the one I saw.
I know what i saw and I have the video...it just wasnt any of those teams...I took the pictures to the Falls today to see if anyone recognized any of the teams, and I have had such terrible results that I need to go back again.
The race was here, but as I was warned the day I went back - it might have been a decoy at Terrapin Point.
The actual race WAS here though. You will see, my team spoilers are bunk now though, I guess, because none of those teams I saw...they are all WAYYY too good looking.

Hello everybody. This seems like a friendly place, so if nobody minds I'll pull up a chair and spoil a spell.
I wanted to mention some things about the Early Show clip and get your opinions. For reference, paste this link:
rtsp://real.cbsig.net:554/cbsnews/2005/08/16/video780841.rm
in your address bar: if you have Real codecs installed, the clip (without commercials) should show up in the appropriate player.
The wave-off footage at the end would seem to be either at Empire-Fulton Ferry park (state) or Brooklyn Bridge park (city): I can't
tell which. But everything else seems to point to the north end of Governors Island.
First, compare the skylines (and the wharf structure) in these two photos, one taken west of the wharf and one just east:
Second, compare the building in the background with the island bookstore:
Third, compare the area I've enhanced (upper-right) with the structures at the ferry landing:

for the original, larger pictures. This is an overview with my guess about the shoot location:
I'm not sure how (or if) they're going to tie the two places together. Usually contestants arrive for Phil's
briefing in some kind of specialized vehicle. Something local to New York, perhaps?
