I would assume TAR producers don't want us to know where they were ? also I assume the production companies along with the land owners or whatever are under contract to keep hush .
Signal this is by far the most spoiled Amazing Race in my opinion , heck we even have possibly four of the teamates names as well as the final 3 and the cast was not even released yet .
Now if only we can find the final city :lol: ?
I hope someone else can explain better than I can about the production and contracts and all ..:yaya:

Well, I read the small few sentense long thing in a free "newspaper" on a bus, and I don't have it.
BUT!
I have to eat some of my words of the media not here mentioning anything about it since today I read in a weekly paper an article about TAR!
And I have scan for you, puddin :D
I also translated it. Here is the scan of article
And here's what it says:
AMAZING RACE WAS HERE?
If the travelling route of Amazing Race would finally reach Finland, then where would
the american reality-tv makers head for? Cultural sights that we don't have, or to the
crowded national parks in Lapland? Eyewitnesses have said that production crew looking
very much like the Amazing Race was seen in the middle on June on obstacle course at swamp
in Ylöjärvi.
Foreign production crew with fire trucks and helicopters circling the sky didn't go
unnoticed by local residents, even thought that security personnel kindly prevented the curious ones
to not come too close. Contestants speaking english ran with yellow/black envelopes and cameramen
filming also a box matching the descriptions of the series clue box on a nearby road.
The area is privately owned beautiful swamp area, which in this time of year has nests of cranes
and swans. At winter the 40 hectare swamp is used for skiing. Owner of the land area is not saying anything,
and the production team is not revealing the routes of the still unseen episodes.
If Amazing Race really visited on Pirkanmaa region, it will still take years until the
episode is seen here. Latest season shown by MTV3 was season 5, but in the US the season
currently on production would be 10th.
That seems to "verify" some of the things that I mentioned before.
(edit: little fixing)

signal just curious , people ski on a swamp ?
eta: or is skiing like sledding to us in the USA? :-[
puddin:
Nevermind me , I'm weird ! Cross Country skiing :doh: !
just some info
Finland has also a bit different, even weird sports. Have you ever heard about "akankanto", which is a competition of wife carrying, "saappaanheitto, in which people compete about who throws a rubber boot the longest way, "suojalkapallo," where soccer is played in a swamp, "vesijuoksu," where people have running competition in water reaching underarm, or World Championship competitions in sauna bathing? And there is more: competitions in killing mosquitoes or sitting in an anthill, swimming in a hole of frozen lake or fishing through it in the middle of winter and rally driving on a thick-iced, frozen lake. Sounds crazy? They are true, but they may be dangerous so do not attempt at home

Yes, I ment cross country skiing and yes people ski in the winter where ever there's snow :D I have to admit we do have some mmmm interesting sports here (unfortunately).
I have seen all TAR seasons so far ;D here it takes way too long for new series and seasons to come on tv, if they show TAR with the current speed then it will be shown in Finnish TV late 2008 or early 2009 :-\
