Amazing Race 10 Spoilers
Chateau d If:
Speaking of the Finnish spoiler. I got this translation from a friend of mine who is Finnish.
Here's my friend's translation:
--- Quote ---Tällä hetkellä Amazing Race 10 -kauden kuvaukset ovat käynnissä ympäri maailmaa, ja siihen saattaa liittyä eräs spoileri, joka saattaa kiinnostaa monia. Tieto ei siis spoilaa mitenkään lopputuloksia, vaan lähinnä paikkoja, missä kilpailijat ovat käyneet.
AT THE MOMENT AR 10- FILMING IS GOING ON ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AND THERE MAY BE ONE SPOILERTHAT INTRESTS MANY. INFORMATION IS NOT SPOILING THE FINAL RESULTS, ONLY THE PLACES WHERE THE COMPETITORS HAVE VISITED.
Spoilaa
Useiden nettisivujen mukaan kyseistä kautta on 16.6. kuvattu Helsingissä ja Turussa. Joidenkin lähteiden mukaan kilpailijat kävivät Helsingin Olympiastadionilla, mutta ilmeisesti kilpailijat ovat käyneet myös Turussa. Tämä ei tosin ole vielä mitään faktaa, joten todennäköisesti asiaa joudutaan odottamaan aina syksyyn asti, jolloin Amerikassa näytetään sarjan kymmenes tuotantokausi. Spoilereiden mukaan kilpailijat ovat käyneet myös mm. Mongoliassa, Mauritiuksella ja Kuwaitissa, ja tämä tieto on lähes täysin varmaa. Kaudella 10 poikkeuksellisesti kierretään maapalloa länteen päin, aikaisemminhan se on ollut toisin.
ACCORDING TO THE MANY WEB PAGES THE FILMING TOOK PLACE (JUNE 16TH) IN HELSINKI AND TURKU. SOME SOURCES CLAIM THAT THE COMPETITORS HAVE VISITED THE OLYMPIC STADIUM IN HELSINKI BUT EVIDENTLY HAVE VISITED ALSO TURKU. ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT A FACT YET AND APPARENTLY TO PROVE IT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER WHEN THE 10TH PRODUCTION TERM WILL BE SHOWED IN USA. ACCORDING TO THE SPOILERS THE COMPETITORS HAVE ALSO VISITED MONGOLIA, MAURITUS AND KUWAIT AND FOR SURE THIS INFORMATION IS ALMOST PROVED. DURING THE 10 TH TERM THE RACE MOVES AROUND THE EARTH WESTWARDS BEFORE IT HAS BEEN THE OTHER WAY.

Signal, do you know if all the Finland stuff happened 6/16? It seems like a lot. Maybe we have 2 legs in Finland before they move on to Spain?

Well, they were seen in Helsinki-Vantaa airport 16th, climbing the Helsinki Olympic Stadium tower 16th, Tampere and Ylöjärvi 16th, Turku 16th, so it looks like all happened same day. But I have to say that many have said that they've seen the participants here in the weekend (17th-18th) also, but cannot confirm that. The cars were seen in the highway probably going to port of Hanko in early last week, but I think they were just returning the cars to Germany, since the cars seen had german license plates just like in Turku. As mentioned before they were supposed to go Lohja with cars from Turku and there's no sightings after Turku so they could've went anywhere, it's possible that there was other tasks to do somewhere and maybe they had to spent a night somewhere? that's just a guess.
It does seem quite a lot for one day, but example train trip Helsinki-Tampere takes just 2 hours, Ylöjärvi is less than 20 km's from Tampere, and train from Tampere to Turku takes about 2 hours also, so it's not that much travelling.
To me it sounds very boring actually, so I really hope they went some other places.

Thanks, Signal! That clears some things up. :tup:
ETA: Here's a possible Finland timeline...
DEPART Madagascar on June 15
Flights leave Antananarivo at 12:50am, arrive in Helsinki at either 4:25 or 7:25pm
Teams are bunched somewhere (tower at Helsinki Olympic Stadium) until morning of 6/16
Gates open at 9:00am? (according to website)
Teams climb tower (roadblock?)
Take 2 hour train trip to Tampere, arrive around noon?
Go to Ylojarvi (arrive around 12:30), do task (detour)?
Go back to Tampere train station
Take 2 hour train trip to Turku (depart around 3:00?)
Depart Turku around 5:20 (time teams were sighted)
Teams proceed to Lohja (arrive around 7:30? Signal -- 2 hours to get from Turku to Lohja?)
Do something at mines in Lohja?
Pitstop?
Seems like a lot of driving, but not unreasonable timing-wise.

Thanks to Coretti over at TWOPS
"Today @ 3:37 pm
So, uh, I think I *may* have come across racers today. I do not have actual 100% confirmation that it was TAR, but this is what I saw:
~1:15 PM, 6/24/06
49th between 6th and Rock. Center, right outside one of the NBC entrances (not that they were going in).
All female African-American team (as mentioned in that thread that was linked to on the last page)
Getting out of a cab that was from Newark (which made it stand out more from the traditional NYC cabs).
Two crew with them - one boom mic operator, one cameraman.
The girls got out of the cab and asked a local for directions - the mic operator then had to get the person to sign a release and the team looked very impatient while they were waiting.
The biggest tip-off for me was that one of the crew had a yellow "K" tag, and having just re-watched Season 7, it looked exactly like the tags that everyone has on their bags.
Again, I hope this isn't a fluke, and apologize if this was inadvertently a team on some other reality show - but given the timeline I'm reading, this might just fit."
Hopes this helps.!!!

Checked and this makes sense that the girls were sent to New York directly from Helsinki as DECOYS. Newark International Airport (EWR) lists flights from Helsinki arriving via Continental Airlines from Helskini with plane changes in either Copenhagen or Amsterdam. Arrival times are 11:45AM and 11:50AM. This would fit nicely with trip through customs and taxi ride (26 miles) to Rockefeller Center arriving at 1:15PM.
Chateau d If:
They bumble around Rock center for a while. Then they hop on a plane sometime between 3 and 9 pm and fly to ??? arriving by 7 am so they can get set up at the finish mat.
What flights do this?
Okay, I found out: Just about all of them. :groan:
