Hi, I'm new to this site. Let's play a game!! I'll post 2 pictures of a TAR challenge, you have to give me (a) the TAR season (b) the city/country in which it took place. 1 point for each correct answer. Hopefully, people will play and we can keep this going, I think it could be a nice competition and after a month or so we could crown "The Biggest TAR Dork Ever" hahaha.
This is the first time I'm doing this kind of thing, there are clues in the photos but it might turn out to be too hard (I have no idea), in which case I'll post a third picture after a while (everyone should at least get the correct season with the 3rd pic).
Ok, here we go. Again, hopefully, it will catch on...

Season 2. Sugarloaf Mountain.
The city was Rio de Janeiro

The Amazing Race Games board will fit this game perfectly well, and you'll get instance response almost immediately. ;D

Oh I didn't even realize it wasn't there. I just hit unread topics and got excited when this came up.

Welcome to RFF TheZanies! Looks like fun!
I think this may work better in our game board as well, so let me see about moving you there?
http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/board,108.0.html
If you want people to PM the answers to you for scoring purposes, you will need to have at least 5 PM's first.
-
Ha, sorry guys, didn't know there was a game board, didn't look that far down :lol: The mods can move this there, I don't care.
Oh and Coutzy was right, Season 2 Rio. Man, he's good, he must be the early front-runner for TAR Dork of the Year :snicker:
Georgia, I thought about that - people PMing me their responses - that avoids situations like this time, when someone gives the correct answer early in the game and it's basically over for everyone else. Is it as fun though? We can do that, if that's what people want.
BTW, this would have been the give away 3rd picture, Wil before that task up Sugar Loaf Mountain:

I asked puddin about this, and we are going to let it stay right where it is so anyone can chime in...some folks don't enter the Games, don't know why :lol:
Up to you how to handle the scoring, just wanted you to be aware of the minimum PM rule so you didn't wonder what was happening!
Coutzy is fast, but we are all TAR lovers around here! :waves:
-
We could do this without the scoring. But would be less fun, no? Personally, I don't care, ain't like I was gonna win it LOL
You're absolutely right about the game board and I speak from experience - if someone had started something like this over there, I would never ever fount it and participated, simply because I didn't know that board existed.
Ok, here we go...(just give me the country this time, this task didn't actually take place in a city)...should be easier than the 1st one, I don't think anyone will need a third photo for this.

This is Lena and Kristy at Stockholm TAR 6, doing the infamous haybale roadblock.

Until you have 5 posts, you don't have one, that's what I was telling you. One more post! :lol:
-
Man, you guys are no fun hahaha
Right, the haybale roadblock in Sweden in season 6 where Lena rolled them suckers for 8 COTDAM HOURS (talk about bad luck), one of the most tragic TAR moments ever for me, I almost dam cried, I loved Lena & Kristy :'(
Georgia, gotcha. My reading comprehension must suck :lol:

Sure you can, you're a mod, aren't you? hahaha
I know I know I know! I think so anyway.
One of my favorite seasons (not a very popular opinion on this board, from what I can gather)...Season 6, in Iceland. Who? No idea, how can you tell? (:;)
-
Puddin gave me an idea...
WHO are the 3 contestants doing these 3 tasks?

They are from Season 12 Finale.

They are from Season 12 Finale.
:tup: Production photos, I found them like forever ago here (http://www.boatingsportsman.com/fusetalk/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=58&threadid=16421).

Dang, really? I gave the 1st incorrect answer in my own dang game :lol:

could it be paige, lena and godwin?
-
Lena is correct. I would recognize that awesome body of hers from any angle LOL
The other 2 are close but no cigar (can certainly understand why you'd say it was Paige and Godwin though).

Then they are Tara & Erwin
-
Tara is correct. Not really a favorite of mine but one of the best female racers ever, IMO.
It's not Erwin either. Hint: the dude is not Asian ;)
-
Is it one of the models? Tyler?
-
Tyler is correct. I think so anyway; he was the one who carried that team, right? James was the useless dude who couldn't read a map to save his life etc., right? It's not the useless one in that pic.
-
I thought James was the one with dark hair and Tyler was blonde.

Tyler isn't quite blond, but it is still lighter than James.

It's Tyler, James wore a pink t-shirt

Both had useless moments on the race, most useless being winning that season, robbing me of a pleasing ending. :funny:

Lyn and Karlyn.. :funny:

Everybody says my questions are too easy, but I'll give it a try anyway: country and season. Difficulty: the image was used, but not the location (afaik).

Gosh.. too hard. I'm guessing three locations: India, Malaysia, or Thailand

I know it! we worked on this together Slowhatch but I'll keep quiet.
pssstttt we should add Boingos drum in this thread as well :lol:
-
This looks really familiar.. i've seen it on a thread last season?!?! Or did i remember wrongly? :lol:

The drum of doom? :funny: And as for the statue, is it in India?
-
And as for the statue, is it in India?
Nope, although Hindus make up half the population of this country.
-
This is a tough one. Hindus make up half the population of the island nation of Mauritius (season 10), so that's I'm thinking but are you saying the location was not used or that the statue in the picture was used in a detour or roadblock that wasn't aired? A little bit confused here.

I think it is Mauritius. I remember seeing a similar photo in the Season 10 intro.
-
How about Osaka Japan, season 12
-
Raymond and TheZanies split the prize. Grand Bassin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Bassin,_Mauritius) was part of the intro caps, but the lake never showed on the race course. The location seems a bit remote for B-roll stuff, but who knows...
-
I'm strenuously appealing Raymond's ½ point (:;)
I mean, I even knew Mauritius had a 50% Hindu population!!! Raymond shouldn't get more than ¼ point!
-
Were we scoring with points? I thought it was beers :beer: ;D OK, another try then: country and season
Rejoinder to Phil: if it's sacred ground, what are you doing standing there?
Shouldn't take long.

Aw, too many references to the old seasons that I've never seen. If I had seen it, I would know it.

I forgot. Thailand, Season 1? :funny:
-
A visual hint.
-
That looks very TAR 3-ish and looks like a starting line to me.
-
Oh right. Now that Joab said it, it's coming back to me now - Season 3 starting point, the Everglades.
I'm not Raymond, I don't want the ½ point though ;D
-
Yep. I'm fairly certain it's the Miccosukee airboat dock ("sacred ground to the Native Americans of South Florida"); the trouble is, there should be some sign of the Tamiami Trail (hwy 41) somewhere in the cap, but I don't see it.
-
Slowhatch, the location was near the 40 Mile Bend. That is something I confirmed with Drew Riker at TARCON 3. (He lived in Miami at the time, and I grew up in Miami, and I remember knowing exactly where it was when the first previews came out.
-
OMG I recall that screenshot of Phil!!! :D Best season/Final Five/Final Four/Final Three/winners EVAH <3<3<3<3<3.

Take a look at the photos Puddin found (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,15690.msg485432.html#msg485432): country and season.
(I have no idea who's guarding the microwave ???)

I'm thinking TAR8?
-
TAR8, Leg 6 - it's one of the foam statues teams had to pick up in the Relic Detour option in Costa Rica.

Invention from Season 12's Italy (the one beside the moose)

Season 5: Detour, Leg 12, El Nido, Philippines, Linda/Karen Eliminated
Swimming...Brandon? or Colin? ???
-
GP is correct, of course. Season 5, El Nido, the Philippines. It's Colin in the 1st pic, that question was a joke more than anything else.
You guys are too good, I resign :'(
