NEW TAR commercial
puddin:
Anyone have EXTRATV Weekend coming on soon ? There was a quick clip right at the beginning about TAR9 and I saw the Dees as well as BJ & Tyler and of course I wasnt expecting it and missed recording it :groan:

Woohoo! Found Jeremy and Eric's helipad! (Not 100% sure though, it might be too tall.) It's the Blue Tree Towers in Faria Lima. Those crazy Brazillians, they painted the blue helipad yellow! (Or blue from yellow, who knows?)

OK my bad, it isn't circular, it's OVAL. :groan: The helipad is #29 in Puddin's map, about two blocks away from Joseph and Monica's helipad.
Three down, one to go, I guess? We still have BJ and Tyler's helipad. Note that there's a yellowish block behind, on the right. Not sure if it's the whole building or just the roof.
Boingo:
Well I'll be damned, the picture is a mirror image. After inverting the vidcap and lightening up the picture, the writing on the t-shirt says "Mo Jo". (Monica & Joseph?)
Edited to add: After clicking on the enlarged photo of the Blue Towers Faria Lima Building @ http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=119840 I have some doubts. Do you think the helipad details match?.
gingerman28:
Have you noticed that at the very end of that scene with the inverted MO JO as they run toward the camera to the far right of the screen is another person running and carrying something. Another racer? A cameraman? Or somewone else? Strange as it looks like each team is going in a seperate chopper.
We have six teams now and perhaps a seventh going toward, in and away from the choppers on several different helipads and at the Campo de Marte airfield.
So what does it all mean? Are they doing some kind of task (several teams are carrying vellow envelopes and pieces of white paper)? or are they just going from one place to another for some strange reason? And note that none of the teams have backpacks.
It won't do us much good to identify the various helipad locations unless we can come up with some idea of what it all means.
One idea: an aireal scavenger hunt to locate the sites of various TAR banners.
Neobie:
So for a quick summary,
Lori/David, Eric/Jeremy and BJ/Tyler at Marte, BJ/Tyler waiting on top of unknown helipad, white-shirted pair running on top of the Blue Tree Towers, Monica and Joey running on the helipad across the road from Caesar's, and Wanda/Desiree inside a helicopter. The white-shirted pair (one wearing jeans, the other black pants) are at Marte with Eric/Jeremy and BJ/Tyler. Unless the racers changed clothes inside the helicopter, it's none of the abovementioned racers, nor Ray/Jolanda or Lisa/Joni, seen on the Viaduto. We can also rule out John/Scott from the TV Guide photo, so that leaves Lake/Michelle, the Danielles, and Fran/Barry.
If teams don't have backpacks (not even on the helicopter, judging from the Wanda/Desiree clip), it means that they will have to return to Marte after the task. But having each team go to a different helipad will be kinda unfair, judging from the spread of the locations over São Paulo. Is this a Venetian Mask, Buenos Aires Tango task, where they are given a photo of the helipad which they are to find? (One problem with this is we may have teams landing in weird places they're not authorised to.)
Strangely enough, we spoiler people are doing the exact same thing. ???
