Title: TAR Australia: SPOILERS and LIVE Sightings! Tweets go here *please read post 1*
Post by: georgiapeach on October 28, 2010, 03:45:25 PM
LIVE sightings go here!  :hearts: Hopefully we will be needing this VERY soon!

If you are posting a tweet, please post the tweet, the tweet time, and either remove or LINK TO the twitter user name. If you remove it, please copy me the name.  For FB posts, please remove the FB name, but please send me the name and link for our records. It is also wise to take a screenshot of any posts you want to see again, they disappear quickly.

Please be kind, and don't all bury the poor unsuspecting twitterer with questions, if you see another RFFer on the job, let them handle it. Rest assured that we try to follow up on all twitters/sightings.

If you are concerned that any info gained from any sighting or tweet may be private or confidential or just "too much too soon", feel free to PM or email me to ask before you post.

If you are bringing us a live sighting, help us as much as you can with WHO (be descriptive, what they look like, is it a male/female team for example, what color they are wearing is helpful) WHAT are they doing, WHERE (as exactly as possible..street? airport gate? be specific!), WHEN (what time zone?, exact time), and any descriptions of the action! Pictures are treasured!

And even though we all get excited, please, once we have a possible location, take the discussion to the Speculation thread (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,22524.0.html) and leave the Twitter zone free for incoming info! :ty3:

If you have a spoiler and prefer to share it privately, you can email me, my email is in my profile. Your confidentiality will be respected. You can also PM me once you have a minimum of 5 posts here.

For the people following: A couple of tweets have started to emerge under the hashtag #amazingraceaus

Something to keep an eye on.

Also- If you feel like wading through gossip about ALL Australian TV shows, http://twitter.com/Juicee_Gossip occasionally has updates on AusTAR, mostly about the hosts.

Why are there only 7 team packs? ???

We are expecting a departure any second, but that looks funny...Why 7 packs?

Packs are normally at the starting line and then on the racers' backs...seems funny??

Could be less teams for Oz version? There are 7 cars clearly visible but if you look on the right, seems to be another car behind it... making it at least 8 cars.

Take a look at my specualtion post. Its definately an international flight. The orange dressed ground staff would appear to be Jetstar crew? Either Christchurch, New Zealand  or Bali, Indonesia.

Melbourne Airport is Reality TV Central - Airways is being shot at Terminal 4 and two lots of contestants from The Amazing Race are in T2.
(10 mins ago)

T2 and Jetstar reduces flight options to just JQ 171 to Christchurch and JQ 35 to Denpasar Bali.

Apart from a couple of flights to Singapore and Bali, most early evening international flights on any airline from T2 do seem to be to NZ.

T2 and Jetstar reduces flight options to just JQ 171 to Christchurch and JQ 35 to Denpasar Bali.

Im going with Christchurch as Air New Zealand has a flight 25 mins after the Jetstar one. Also less costly to fly 11 teams to NZ, also Indonesia is still a little risky as a destination. I don't think this would be a connecting flight since Jetstar are classed as a budget plane and not a "connecting" type of airline.

 Makes sense to me. Those will be some expensive airline tickets.
I bet you're right about Christchurch. What do you mean Indonesia is risk ?

They're going Budget on the first leg with Jetstar? :lol:

Okay, after Bali possible locations could only be going upwards to other Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand or Philippines.

11 choppers for 11 teams? They could have done 6 choppers and save the money for other race plans!!! :lol:

I see 9 cars on this picture. A car is visible in the left side of the photo (a small part). In my opinion, I think that some packs are missing in this picture because the starting line is not ready.

Hi :waves:
I'm another newbee.

Just a thought, if the contestants haven't been spotted in Bali, they may have headed over to one of the Gili Islands?
Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno or Gili Air. 

Two different modes of transport available - either by flying to Lombok and then travel by car followed by a short boat trip (first flight out each day from Bali is around 9.00 am), flight takes around 15 mins.  The alternative is by one of the fast boats, the first of many boats leave around 8.00 am via Lombok and the trip is just over 2 hours.

Well.. I just found this from a senior member on the behind the box forums:

"I think I have mentioned here previously I visit my cousin and friends over in Bali and Gili Trawangan a couple of times a year, just got off the phone after speaking with her.

The Amazing Race folks arrived over at Gilli T yesterday [Saturday??] and filmed just a few metres away from her Villa, on the beach, outside a small Pizza Cafe.

She asked the producers which show they were filming and they said it was a Corporate promo, which she noted was not obviously the case. The team members were all very calm and from what she could see they were *counting out cash, contained in suitcases*"

I PM'd the user who is going to try get more information for us.

"One thing she did mention was that the production crew hired *all* the horse and carts on the island. (There is no motor transport whatsoever on Gilli T, it is either bike, walk or the horse and cart). So I am guessing here, that the teams will be seen travelling from when they hop off the boat in the traditional horse and carts. I just did a quick search, here is a [generic] photo - "

Thanks caper!! She kindly responded right away!

Quote
saw 2 teams of participants in lcct 2day, which is on 8 nov 2010 at around 5am.

They were at the air asia ticketing booth. when i was there at about 4.50am, there were already there waiting for the counters to open. There was a long queue, but both teams are standing at the most front of the queue.

one of the team is formed by 2 girls, and the other team is a couple. There was a camera man with them and another asian guy, which i am not sure whether he is a malaysian.

the girl team: both are blonds, and one of the girls is very tall. The shorter gal wearing red sweater, with her hair braided and was very anxious, while the taller girl was wearing a green sweater (if i remember correctly), with her hair tied. Both of them looked younger than the other team.

for the couple, i dont quite remember about them, but the female was wearing a pink jacket if i am not mistaken.

and when the counters open at about 5.10am, both teams purchase tickets to Ho Chi Minh, and the flight was at 10.35am. LCCT is an airport specially for Air Asia, and it is an Air Asia ticketing booth, so both team should be using Air Asia.

possibility of photos.... :hearts:

More information from the siting on Gili Trawangan island in Bali from a very helpful person on BehindTheBox forums. Unfortunately no live photos:

"I was able to speak to my relative over on Gili T. She has of course, heard of TAR and viewed a few episodes when visiting back home here or the States, but is not a regular viewer. Taking the above into consideration, she was of course interested when filming of TAR was taking place on the Island, but perhaps not nearluy as attentive as yourself or other enthusiasts of the series would be. I hope you are not too disappointed with the minimal information, she was able to provide to me.

I asked if she or anyone else took any photo’s and she said she didn’t believe so.

The filming took approximately 5 hours. During this time each team sat in their own Beruga (see photo below).

They also had a black board|chalk, plus a briefcase which was filled with 2000 rupiah notes (I think each 2000Rp note is equivalent to around 40cents). Each team appeared to be counting the notes and writing on the blackboard. (They were *not* rushed, stressed and/or anyway flustered during the above task, which surprised my relative).

She did not see the Host (Grant). They left the above location in separate cidomo’s (again in an orderly manner|no rushing).

I asked her to describe the team members, she was very vague in this respect, noting she thought there was –2 male slightly overweight twins! A typical mum and dad a couple of good looking girls, 2 guys etc.

There were 2 helicopters hovering overhead on two or three occasions. There was an Australian Crew plus a local Indonesian Crew helping with filming. The Producers hired *all* the Cidomo’s on the Island. She has no idea where they went after the above filming.

Filming took place towards the north end of the Island.

The Pizza Oven restaurant on Gilli T.

These Beruga’s were actually used by teams ^^"

while the taller girl was wearing a green sweater (if i remember correctly), with her hair tied.

The girl in the foreground is tall-ish, she looks as if she matches the production guy tailing them height-wise. And she does have her hair tied back.

I have additional information (http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-5097.gif) that suggests that the teams are now in South Africa - probably Johannesburg - so the above information seems legitimate.

Hey peach,

i was very excited that day so i was freaking, fortunately im still in the airport when most of the teams arrived and asked for info. they were looking for the flight to JHB - Johannesburg.

Another kind of funny thing that happened while there was the TV show the Amazing Race had the island as one of the stops. Originally walking by and seeing the elaborate set I asked and they said it was a corporate video, but I asked one of the local carriage drivers dressed in traditional garb rather than the usual surf T-shirt who was part of the transport and he said it was for the amazing race. Seeing a couple teams of two along with a camera men in toe walking back to town I think confirmed it (Inside info for Vegas bets anyone). I am just wondering how they are going to edit out all the white people walking around from their helicopter shots.

Hi May be way off beam, but I have just seen TAR flags up in Cape Town. I spotted them two years ago at Rhodes Memorial and it turned out to be TAR Israel.
This time, almost two years to the day, exactly the same flags (which you guys said were too big for US TAR at the time) at the same spot
Think this tracks back to the either posting with photo - it looks the same, so didn't reshoot

Thanks for the info. TAR Australia? Well, Cape Town won't be much of a surprise - Australia is so full of ex-South Africans, I'm sure at least one team will be coming home.
I was stuck in traffic driving home, gazing into all the cars trying to see  people crammed into a car with a camera man and sound guy. Am very lucky to have seen two, just no teams yet.

Looks like they did some bungi jumping!

"Bloukrans Bridge was the next stop on our journey. This is the home of the world’s highest commercial bungee (216 m)! When we arrived, we discovered that the Amazing Race Australia was being filmed there, so we had to wait until all of the teams had shown up and finished."

This is in West Cape, between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Not sure of the date of this need to confirm.

Interesting. The teams on TAR Israel bungy'd from the Bloukrans Bridge, went sandboarding at the Atlantis Dunes, went to the V&A waterfront, and had a Pit Stop at the Rhodes Memorial. Is it possible Active TV could just be repeating the same leg/tasks? They did TAR Israel as well.

Exactly my thoughts Coutzy. The pitstop pic of Cape town posted Evening of 15th. Even with a 14 hour pitstop and flights teams should be somewhere new right about now

Domestic may simply mean they are heading back to J'Burg before going elsewhere. I'm not hugely familiar with airports in Cape Town, but I believe they don't do much in terms of international flights.

Reporter: Next week teams from the Australian tv production The Amazing Race will land in Israel. Israel was chosen to be the 4th leg. Teams are predicted to race in Haifa and sites in the northern parts of Israel, when the specific places are yet unknown. So if Australian backpackers asking you for directions, be nice to them. Also, tv network RESHET started working on the new season of TAR Israel.

It could be the final 4th leg??  :lol:

I doubt that the pitstop will be the Baha'i Shrine as the dome is currently under restorations and the exterior isnt very aesthetically pleasing...that said WRP does have a relationship with the Baha'i's (TAR 13 Baha'i House pitstop in India) so the possibility of visiting at least one of the numerous Baha'i landmarks is quite high if Haifa and or Akka are visited

The TAR franchises can take advantage of the contacts and experience of the others...explains why they could get this up and running so quickly!

But entire legs? That's just lazy. (And it seems after last night the Bali tasks are a copy too. We're probably about halfway through, and the only new things we know are the Melbourne visit and the baccarat task in Macau. And the baccarat could be there just to replace the blackjack from TAR Asia 3's Macau leg.)

I apologize in advance if this has already been seen here, but I haven't been following TAR Australia. I am having a some internet issues right now but so I haven't looked through as many back pages as I'd like to.

Anyway, I found a picture over at flickr.com that appears to show a team doing a task (or waiting to do one). From the date (November 15th), it appears to be in Johannesburg at the waterfront (according to the photo title). The folder the picture is in says South Africa. Behind the the team, you can just see a red and yellow clue box and interestingly, if you look real close, it appears to have an intersection sign! There also appear to be local drummers or dancers. In the background is what appears to be a seated giant red Lego man holding one finger up on each hand and in the far distance behind some buildings could be a ferris wheel. The Johannesburg page at wikipedia shows a ferris wheel at the Gold Reef City living museum that may be the ferris wheel in the photo, but I can't decide if it's a match.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to grab the image and post it here (I know I've done it before). So, I'll post the link and hope someone else can get it.  The link is http://www.flickr.com/photos/erin-si/5189483656/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/erin-si/5189483656/)

Something about this isn't adding up. The coke man statue is quite easily recognizable, and according to several sources, is located in Mary Fitzgerald Square, right in front of Museum Africa.

This would be fine, except there is no waterfront near Museum Africa. (According to google maps)

I'm glad you figured out where it was located and that there were 2 Coke men. The blogger called it a Lego man too.  :lol: At least I was 8,000 miles or so away. :snicker:

Thanks for the welcome Georgiapeach, this is a killer forum.

I have a tiny bit more of the details as my husband spoke to him for a minute while I was in the DVD store before. He said that they went to a lighthouse in Geelong (I don't know which one, if there is more than one even) and did some filming of the choppers flying around it, or did filming from the choppers. This I am pretty sure may be part of the opening sequence, before they land at the MCG.

He also, and I can almost not contain myself with excitement, took not only photos but also film of this and other stuff (on his phone but I hear it is good clear footage), and when we speak next I will see if he can e-mail it to me so I can post it here (if I can work out how to post piccies and film  :duno:). Now, I don't know how he did this as I would have assumed they would have confiscated anything that could take images but they didn't  :yess: and I guess he is one sly bugger.

I also have to ask him about any disclosure contracts he would of, or should have signed, but he hasn't mentioned anything to any of us about one, and he is absolutely willing to tell me everything  B:) Of course if it is under threat of me or the production company in who would hurt him more if he blabbed or didn't he knows he would have to enter the witness protection program if he kept quiet from me  :knuckles:

Yes, I know I'm overdoing the emoticons but too bad  :gaw

Can the "car and producer" sighthings in Toronto actually be the Australian version!?

perhaps you may be right? the US and Canada may be the final legs of the race before flying back to Sydney for the finish line? Because I remember someone on facebook posting something about her friends seeing racers with backpacks with The Amazing Race Australia logos on them in New York, but she later corrected herself saying her friend probably mistook them for contestants when they were actually cameramen? Plausible?

From facebook (November 4th):
UPDATE!!
I saw my friend tonight who has been travelling overseas for 2 months and she asked "so have you heard anything about the race" and I said no and she said she thinks she saw the racers in NEW YORK cause there were people running around with big back packs and had "amazing race Australia" printed on them!

The Israel spoilers would have to be fake. There's no way in HELL the producers would have let that much information get out before the contestants even arrived there.

How do New York and Toronto fit in with Frankfurt? Would Frankfurt have just been a connection or is it likely there were legs in Europe we missed?

Translation:
TAR OZ arrived yesterday to Bat-Yam for preparations. From there they will probably continue to Jerusalem and the dead sea (entertainment news said Haifa so who knows??) . They are staying at the Mercure hotel in Bat Yam and "are very discreet " said one of the hotel workers. "They're not telling where they are heading".

The link is from one of the top newspapers in here, very reliable.

I live 5 min from Bat-Yam.

YAYYYYYY!!!!!! WoooHoooo!!!!

I want to sum up the rumors about TAROZ in Israel:

1. Most popular entertainment news tv show announce TAROZ is coming to Haifa and the northern parts of Israel
2. One of the three biggest newspapers in Israel posting a pic of the crew at the Mercure hotel in BAT YAM (a suburb of TEL AVIV) and saying teams might be heading to Jerusalem and the dead sea.
3. A twitter post saying teams in Tel Aviv

hmmmmm... Interesting. Haifa-Tel Aviv-Jerusalem are one hour apart from each other. Plus there was this mini nuclear disaster in Haifa with several people dead at the day they were supposed to be there, so maybe they have changed the route. Or maybe there were two legs in Israel...

There was no "Nuclear Disaster" in Haifa. There was a leak at an oil refinery that killed 3 men. The Israeli press quoted Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Benjamin Ben-Eliezer's comments about safety in the industrial area around Haifa's port. The translation from Hebrew was misquoted. He said that with all the toxic chemicals, the area was "like a nuclear bomb waiting to go off".

They have around 10 hours to get from Lijiang to Singapore
but they aren't in Kunming yet if they get there by train.

Unless they got a train but travel to Lijiang airport instead and fly to Kunming than to Singapore

Besides it's late in Singapore. Hm..

Hey guys, I've got a few pics and a video from what I gather is pre-race time. In two of the pics you can see the pink team in Geelong. The 3rd pic is of course the choppers at the MCG with a beautiful view of the TARA sign (hallelujah  :luvya:). And the video was taken also in Geelong where they did some chopper work and you can actually see the pink team in the back of the car...the video becomes a little Fellini inspired at the end...very artsy! Now, there are even more videos and pics to come, when they get round to bluetoothing them to me. Also they told me that at the MCG the contestants had to rappel down from the huge lights (there is video of this) and that there is a Sydney team made up of a muscly guy and a good looking tall well endowed blonde.

Comment posted in reply to a blog about the rumors that TAR Aus was in Singapore:

the amazing race were in freo today…i was taking shots of fremantle…and i happened to go up to the prison…
and there was red and yellow flags, and i immediately thought, OMG its the amazing race! there were parking bays set aside, with their cars in them…and filming crew everywhere…it was pretty cool…i saw the last two teams running out and into their cars.

Comment by steph — November 29, 2010 @ 8:41 pm.

Thanks, very exciting! They must be the Australian version of TAR. That means they had flown back from Singapore yesterday and the last leg is in Frementle

Looks like it happend yesterday (Monday 29th Nov). We speculate they have either finished the race, or they may be flying to another destination today. At this stage it looks like it may have been the final leg, but you never know if you hang out at the airport you may even see some teams or production fly back to either Melbourne or Sydney.

Thanks Heather. Yeh, looks like its over now. Hopefully we can find out more between now and when the air the show next year.

No doubt Richard and Joey will be doing a lot of PR work to flog whatever they are selling in between now and the show!  :lol3:

Here is a Facebook posted sighting from a lady at Perth Airport. Spotter was happy to reply to some questions I had. Thank you!  :hearts:

"It was Monday 29th. At about 12:30pm. I was headed out of the Airport when I saw 2 men running past, 1 in a red shirt, the other in a yellow, i assumed it was the amazing race because they were being followed by a man with a camera, they were carrying backpacking bags and were really excited, got in a Smart Car i think? And drove off.

Then saw a man and a woman (maybe a third person), again, followed by a camera man carrying the same luggage and getting into the same type of car and driving off. So it seemed like it may have been the Amazing Race 2 leading teams."

"No, I dont recall any cowboy hats. The woman appeared to be short late 20s to early 30s and the man a bit older and taller."

That lighthouse in the video is the Queenscliff Low Light. There are seven official lighthouses in and around Port Phillip Bay, but that's the only one with a white shaft. Five of the others are all cobblestone, the last one is a single-story pile light offshore.

I have been in contact with someone on Facebook who is from and lives in Israel.

Some of the comments seem to match what we already have heard about but some don't quite match. Possibly due to translation:

"hi. yes they come to israel. they were in the dead sea and in jerusalem. they come to the place i'm work' they come to the post office."

"there is a lot of couples, i see 5 coupels,but i remember three of them, two of them was a couple of young mens. one was young of young womens. they be in israel in 18 november [???]"

TV Week (from what I can tell, the Australian equivalent of TV Guide), has confirmed that there will be U-Turns (plural), and that 12 countries will be visited. So... Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, South Africa, Israel, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and four we don't have reasonable proof for yet. I'd bet they'd go into Macau through Hong Kong and count it separately (neither 7 nor TV Week are know for factual accuracy), which would make nine, but then we're still short three. Even if we count the very tentative US and Canada spoilers, we're still missing a country. I'd wager it's more likely we'd get something like:

Australia (S)
Indonesia (1) - TARA4 copy
Vietnam (2, 3) - TARI and TARA3 copies
Hong Kong/China (4) - TARA3 copy
South Africa (5, 6) - TARA2 and TARI copies
Germany/Czech Republic (7, 8) - TARA2 copy
Unknown Country (9) - ?
Israel (10) - original
Sri Lanka (11) - TARA4 copy
Singapore (12) - TARA4 copy, with the memory task removed or changed
Australia (13)

Some new comments are coming out in reply to the latest rumour that model Nathan Jolliffe is a contestant in TAR Aus.

"I was in the carpark at the Sebel - Albert Park - when I saw camera crews, people running into cars, people with bright yellow envelopes - the usual Amazing Race stuff - so it is true - I've seen it!" (This is in Melbourne most likely start of the race)

"Yeah I saw a samll Toyota Yaris at the corner of Bagot Road and Rokeby Road in Subiaco with a girl in the back seat holding an "Amazing Race Australia" card while the other girl was driving. Didnt notice and celebs not that I would know but was suprised by the big camera in front passengers seat. That was early December" (This must have been in the final leg in Perth).

In summary we may have an all girl team in the final leg!?

I think giving all teams an 1 express pass is a good idea. 3 non elims is a bit much however.

3 non elims is the amount they use in most of the American seasons.

Hey guys!

I was watching My Kitchen Rules :hellkitchen tonight, and during the commercial break, I saw an ad for TAR: Australia, which introduced us to the 'Cowboys'. :rodeo THey are named 'Matt & Thomas' and have never left Australia.

Later on, there was another ad, also during My Kitchen Rules, which showed us a lot of different teams doing a lot of different challenges, and I caught a glimpse of that yellow couple that you guys spoiled a while back (Richard & someone, if I remember correctly - I don't have time to check right now).

Hope this helps!

Thoughts on promo 4:

- The cowboys running along the beach with the other male looks an awful lot like a finish line (or maybe Pit Stop.)
- Mo or Mos is running down the steps in what looks like Vietnam (Compare the surroundings to The Running Blonde.)
- It looks like Chris and Anastasia perform the basket balancing task on Leg 1.
- David and Kelly make it past Bali to at least the more built up areas of Asia.
- Anne-Marie and Tracy get through to Vietnam
- Quad Bikes in the desert. Middle East? Rider in the foreground is definitely male and pretty muscular. Hard to tell about the rider in the background.
- The giant red X on the ground in the Jeff & Luke shot looks like some sort of parachuting task in South Africa (Thanks WP)
- Alana and Mel do the same task as Chris and Anastasia.
- And I'd be willing to bet Richard and Joey at least attempt it.
- Ryot's ox appears to be broken.
- Chris and Anastasia are running in China (Source- Blue license plate, compare to http://www.lifeaftercubes.com/2010/09/09/license-plates-from-around-asia/)
- Anne-Marie and Tracy appear to have been given a fully functioning ox
- Richard and Joey have some mud spots on them. Same task?
- Cowboys running at the Pit Stop/Finish line again. The third person looks like Nathan.

The flags seen on the beach where the farmers are running are also at MCG so finish line seems feasible  :lol:
That being said they are behind Grant when he is speaking and at the archery task!

Ok here are some screenshots I took that I think are 'important'
I believe we are just being teased by Channel 7 with the first 3-4 episodes max.
I am thinking Leg 2 MAY have been Philippines followed by Vietnam for Leg 3.

Ok as seen from this photo: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,23589.msg571720.html#msg571720
And the 2nd, 3rd and 4th photos above there is a roadblock at Imperial City in Hue with irregularly coloured flags (green and red used). Teams known to have been there are the Big W ladies, Mo and Mos, Joey and partner (seen in background of 4th pic), Models/Boxers and another team in background of picture 4.

The first picture shows Mo and Mos going toward mat in what I think is the Philippines which is the same background as the one with the farmers running to in previous promo (note the colour of flags is normal here so not Vietnam).

still collating info
- bow and arrow may have been Philippines roadblock or other detour choice (with my ox is broken the other)
we also see a task where one of the big w ladies is carrying two baskets connected by a pole and one of the models/boxers is behind her!

No Philippines. Green and gold flags are in the background of all the other Vietnam clips, and also of the shot of Anne-Marie and Tracy at the ox task. I'd say they're in Vung Tau, where the ox-leading task happened in TAR Israel.

ETA: Which clip is the archery in?

Let's all be very very careful about speculating any eliminations from these videos. As we all know, NOT SEEN does NOT mean eliminated.

Also we don't even have the route 100% so be cautious, okay??

But WOW! It is a feast of info! Here are the Clue Opening caps! I looked for good backgrounds and watches too.  :snicker:

I think if someone has time to add to each one the cap#/the team name/the location (and whether spec or sure)/and the VOICEOVER about where they are going that it will help us enormously. I'll give you the thumbnails caps links to use.

Do we know where the host is in the last caps?

I think they say Toolamba, but that is a small town in Victoria about 2 hours away from Melbourne, so I have no idea why!!!

They say, "Fly to Lombok" meaning our first destination Lombok (Bali), Indonesia :)

Peach, here is what I think is going on in each cap. It's listed by team/location/sound. Anything with a question mark is unknown or I'm not sure of. Note the "rip sound" refers to the "rip" sound made as the clue is being opened.

Caps:

They don’t say anything but it should be “Fly to South Africa”.

Ok another evidence that there is a start line task (and MAYBE an elimination - this is pure spec!!) the fly to lombok clue is not being read in the MCG it is near the rappelling/climbing task stuff/

maybe there was a start line elim and then non-elim at the end of leg 1 - tar 15 style?

There seems to be a starting line task, but I don't think there is room for an elimination there. We saw there were only 11 teams in November with the photo of teams in the MCG and we have evidence of everyone at least making it to Indonesia. I don't think it's physically possible. There possibly could be a team that got some kind of penalty though, like the automatic U-turn in TAR18. There's really no way we will know until we see a media release with something on it or until the show airs.  :duno:

I agree it is doubtful it is an elimination. One thing against there being some penalty associated with a start line rappelling task is that I would expect that not all teams could do this task simultaneously (there would be a limited number of saftey personnel/ropes etc), and given its a pretty short distance between the middle of the MCG and the tower, basically the slowest runners would be last to complete the task as they would be last to attempt it. Perhaps its a fast forward and only some are attempting it?

Hey guys!

About 5-10 minutes ago, about halfway through Deal or No Deal, there was yet another promo, and this one focussed primarily on Chris & Anastasia, the dating couple. The promo shows them bickering, as well as them doing one task, in which Chris is pouring a bucketful of some red fluid into a funnel-shaped object. Chris says something along the lines of, "They don't make women like they used to." Then Grant does his usual "11 unforgetable Aussie teams" routine.

Now that they are using Masada, it makes me wonder if the fake sighting wasn't created by someone who was involved in scouting locations for future TARs. Maybe someone from ActiveTV or WRP?

Okay, this is confusing me. I swung by the MCG on my way to work today to check out the light tower used for the task, and... the arrangement we have doesn't seem to make any logistical sense. We know:

1. The race started on the turf inside the stadium.
2. The abseiling task happened on Light Tower 4.
3. Cars and backpacks were located at the Dennis Lillee Statue.

BUT:

1. Light Tower 4 is in plain view of Melbourne's largest intersection of train lines, with at least one train passing through on average every thirty seconds, and the 'G isn't exactly the sort of landmark that doesn't capture peoples' attention. How didn't we get a spoiler?
2. The Lillee statue is in front Light Tower 6, suggesting there was nowhere closer for the crew to park the rental cars. But there's a network of small one-lane roads through the fields surrounding the 'G, including one that travels right next to Light Tower 4.
3. If teams were to run from Light Tower 4 to Light Tower 6, they would be running clockwise. But the way the bags are aligned makes it appear as though teams ran in the opposite direction -- almost three times as far.

After watching Essendon vs. Collingwood at the MCG, I can say with absolute confidence that it would be nearly impossible to see a person moving down any of the light towers from in the trains. They are simply too far away to be able to see it clearly.

A review of Episode 1 from the Today Tonight website! Has some spoilers in it:

http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/05/the-amazing-race-australia.html

Quote
Some Spoilers: There are times when you look at Aussie adaptations of international shows and you feel like apologising.

Iron Chef Australia, Survivor Australia, the first series of The X Factor -you know who you are.

The Amazing Race Australia puts them all to shame. Phil Keoghan would be hooked on this version.

From understanding the format, to casting host and contestants, to not skimping on the production costs, this ticks all the boxes.

We open hovering over the city of Melbourne, which host Grant Bowler tells us is considered the sporting capital of Australia. Then we see Bowler: on the roof of the MCG. Heading towards him is a posse of 11 choppers with the teams that are about to compete. Big statement.

On the MCG’s hallowed turf Bowler, who has previously impressed as a host on The Mole when not acting on True Blood, Lost, Ugly Betty and voicing Border Security, explains the basics of the contest to the teams. You get the feeling it’s more for those at home who haven’t watched the US series rather than the contestants.

This lot are already dressed in attire that fastracks us to their personalities: farmers, Big W ladies, Muslims, models, surfers. They know this show like the back of their hand. Video profiles are full of amusing statements (“Running doesn’t really come into our lives!”) and work hard to set up relationships. Even the Aussie upward inflection is ripped straight out of Fountain Lakes and planted into the Race.

The Aussie race includes an Express Pass, which will assist a team to skip upcoming challenges. The grand prize, isn’t the $1M that gives Phil Keoghan his menacing power, but $250,000. It feels a little disappointing but in truth it is more than what is offered on MasterChef Australia. Seven must be kicking itself a bloke on Minute to Win It walked off with $500,000 just for bouncing two ping pong balls into two glasses. Hardly seems equitable.

The first Roadblock takes place at the MCG (“I’m so knackered!” yells one bloke) before teams speed off in cars bound for Melbourne airport. Some teams struggle with the local traffic, the farmers seem pretty overwhelmed by the frenzy of the city. Another team looks at a tram stop and asks “is that a road?” Yet another team will struggle with the airport car park and we’re not even out of the country. This will be fun.

The first destination is Bali. Teams hit the ground running, grabbing taxis to their first port of call. Just like US teams, the Aussies are already showing a lack of international manners and speaking in condescending tones. In a desperate plea to endear themselves to their driver, one team even tells him, “Big Australian kiss. You take Australian princesses.” Seriously.

Searching for a clue in a Balinese fishing village sees Aussies “runnin’ around like headless chooks.” Another moment sees them participate in a local custom that looks aggressive but has cultural meaning. One bloke takes it pretty personally. “You’re pussies!” he barks.

As with each TAR Detour, there are two choices of challenges that are locally influenced. One is physical, the other draws upon an ability to improvise. The Aussies aren’t very good at them either, with the locals giggling at their hapless mastering of some pretty everyday tasks. Another challenge will test their mental skills.

Throughout the extended premiere episode the production values on the show are excellent. There are aerial shots, underwater shots, shots inside vehicles, shots in front and behind teams racing, and shots from behind airline counters. The soundtrack, undoubtedly sourced from the US edition, helps highlight the tension. There are even those annoying re-caps after commercial breaks.

Teams crumble under the conditions, already at odds with the climate, language, their physical limits and inability to communicate. Simple mistakes cost some dearly. Relationships that are already at breaking point seem doomed. This is where The Amazing Race works so well, when its casting, competition and travel elements collude so perfectly under a ticking clock. Some teams look ripe fomisbecoming perfect Reality villains.

ActiveTV, who have already produced The Amazing Race Asia, clearly know this show well.

Bowler is more relaxed than Keoghan, but we are a long way from the revolving door of Seven hosts who would have brought baggage on this journey.

Buy a ticket and strap yourself in. You’re gonna love The Amazing Race Australia.

The Amazing Race Australia starts soon on Seven.

So that confirms the abseiling is indeed a RoadBlock (yay, me), and confirms the fishing village search is back -- which means the only changes from TARA4's leg is the graveyard Detour being switched for selling bakso, and the addition of the Melbourne segment.

Bowler is more relaxed than Keoghan, but we are a long way from the revolving door of Seven hosts who would have brought baggage on this journey.


The Amazing Race Australia starts soon on Seven.

WOW! Grant is more relaxed than Keoghan!??!  :ascared

After watching Essendon vs. Collingwood at the MCG, I can say with absolute confidence that it would be nearly impossible to see a person moving down any of the light towers from in the trains. They are simply too far away to be able to see it clearly.

Depends where you're coming from and which train track you're on. The tracks closest to the tower are used for city-bound trains from Belgrave, Lilydale, Alamein, and Glen Waverley, and they're close enough you can make out individual blades of grass in the area beneath the tower.

Saw a sneak peak promo on Seven last night. It claimed there were 12 countries visited including Czech Republic, The Netherlands which flashed up in text. Can't remember many of the other countries but Sri Lanka was one, also possibly Germany? I'd say these countries may possibly include transit stops?

Three new promos, they're all pretty similar but vary very slightly in different ways. Not sure if you internationals can see the first two though... ???

Told you we would see Czech Republic  :neener:

Looks like the knight in Armour task is made into a RI or detour with the crossbow task either remaining as the other side or becoming the roadblock. All from TARA 2.

One thing stumping me is where that sheep herding is done... possibly South Africa?

Bungee jumping seems to be the one off Bloukrans Bridge, South Africa as in TARI. The route info in TARI at Kragga Kamma Game Park involving driving with logs through the mud course seems there too. I suspect the ice hockey would be somewhere in Europe.

I think teams (one I noted was Tom & Matt) appear to be in a mine, which I would suspect to be the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Krakow, which we found may have been visited later in TAR Israel 2.

Thanks Coutzy! Loving the polished, non-fomulaic introductions! Except the slightly disconcerting team randomly inserted into the end...

Do we wanna go through the locations (for laughs and giggles) or no? I think I saw Jerusalem!

P.S. How did Liberty's handbag turn into a beagle?

One more little blurb on Krakow...

Quote
The second, Australian edition was shot in November 2010 (with the participation of the Krakow Film Commission).

The Krakow Film Commission, together with the Warsaw-based Bow&Axe Entertainment company, represented by Marek Nowowiejski, were responsible for completion of all formalities connected with the obtaining of approvals and permits for shooting of the programme in Krakow locations.

Last year, for the first time together with the Krakow Film Commission, we made a part of an episode for the Australian edition.

http://www.film-commission.pl/en/news_/action,get,id,182,t,The-Amazing-Race-2011.html

We researched the salt mines pretty heavily for TAR 11...and ended up getting only an insider clip video...no tasks. Can't wait to see it this time around!

This was in the little snippet before Episode 2. Could it be the Rio Grande in New Mexico?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's not. Where is this bridge? I'm certain this is where Nathan & Tyler and Matt & Tom bungee jump.

One detour choice in Prague is the knights in shining Armour task from TARA (Originally a RB to find damsel in distress)
PERFORMED BY: Dave and Kelly, Jeff and Luke

(http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv147/baydogg/DetourinPrague-FindDamselinDistress.jpg)

Mine task in ??
PERFORMED BY: Nathan and Tyler, Sam and Renae

(http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv147/baydogg/Mine.jpg)

Ice rink task in Prague from TARA (Originally an active RI to be performed by intersected teams)
PERFORMED BY: Nathan and Tyler?

(http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv147/baydogg/Prague-IceRink.jpg)

As someone previously stated I think that Jeff and Luke compete with and beat Richard and Joey at the head shaving hence we do not see them without their heads covered.

I saw 2 men running past, 1 in a red shirt, the other in a yellow
 

Jeff and Luke  :yess:

Then saw a man and a woman
The woman appeared to be short late 20s to early 30s and the man a bit older and taller

Richard and Joey  :'(

A member of the TAPUZ reality forum in Israel saw teams in Ben Gurion International Airport departing to Sri Lanka at the night of the 25th, one team was reported to connect through rome, Italy. She also photographed the cowboy team.




I believe not only the cowboys, Jeff (black cap and green bandana) and Luke (yellow shirt) are also there! What do you think guys? Are these teams infinal four? =)

Mo & Mos were in a casino, mentioned not being very good Muslims and yucked it up. Avi (of season 6) has mentioned that he would have done eating challenges claiming that he'd "eat pork on Yom Kippur." It all comes down to how devout you are in your beliefs, although in my opinion, if you have anything severely debilitating, you have no business being on the race *cough* Mika *cough*.

Leg 7 of TAR Australia had a detour involving pork, and the other detour involving wine...

Who on earth could this man and woman be?  :duno: It's not Dave & Kelly, I think she's taller than him and they certainly aren't in their late 20's to early 30's. Maybe these are our decoys and it's Chris & Anastasia?

Tyler and Nathan at the FINALE!!

During an interview with Lisa, Baz and Sam on 92.9 this morning, Bingle divulged a secret about upcoming episodes of The Amazing Race: Australia.

With the winning team set to pocket $250,000, Amazing Race producers have gone to great lengths to keep the result of the adventure reality show a secret since filming wrapped last November.

Bingle is friends with contestant Nathan, who has found success on the show with his surf buddy Tyler, and Lisa cheekily asked the model if she knew how her mates from Bondi fare on the series.

The former WAG giggled and said, “I think I can’t say this…. I think I’ll be in trouble,” before blurting out, "they’re in the final.”
