TARP is already done filming their race and they didn't get out of the country.
@frankstah: The French version of Amazing Race filmed onboard @USSMissouri today. I handed out the clues to the contestants. http://t.co/hoV21j6x
I believe the USS Missouri is in Honolulu.
did they already raced to Jordan and Vietnam as said it on the press report before or it was just a bunch of lies? :gaah:

Looks like a Detour. A possible idea for "Picasso": http://bestofla.blogspot.com/2006/05/santa-monica-outingashes-and-snow.html
No idea for "Pick Glace." Ice cream or something?
We need a TIMELINE. :yess:
Thanks for the timeline, Boston_Jen! That's a good start. Also, thanks to those who were watching for TAR France the last week or so, since I've been too busy to do any searching.
I did have some time to day and found this on Facebook:
Plane very full due to Amazing Race team on board! Wow!
The person was visiting Cape Town and was flying back to their home in Pretoria. I don't know if that means TAR France is having a second South Africa leg in Pretoria or if they are connecting from there to another location. If they are connecting, I imagine it will be somewhere nearby in Africa. I'm not sure though. I would think Johannesburg would have better connecting flights.
djjazzyjoo --> 2 week that last photo shoot.That's on French version of TAR and they went to Venice Beach, California. :hearts:

Umm that Isn't the host of TAR France. He doesnt match the one in photo:
(http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa347/TLTS101/470afab9.jpg)
His hair colour and body build is different. The confirmed host is Alexandre Delperiér
There was also another photo on twitter which I can't seem to find right now that had the host posing with someone and it did not look like that guy.
Another sighting when they were in LA at the Disney Concert Hall:
Had a cool job playing sax on a street corner for an episode of Amazing Race (France) yesterday, lol.

I saw that second picture from 3 July in Paris shortly after it was posted. I recall that being somewhere else in Europe (maybe Prague) but I could be wrong. At the time, I decided it was just a decorative banner that was red and yellow and didn't post about it. If it is in Paris, the timing would be right for the beginning of the race.
I look forward to seeing what TAR France has done.

This is one of the most anticipated shows of this fall TV 2012. Even stronger thanPeking Express , the incredible adventureThe Amazing Race is coming soon on one of the channels Canal + Group. Yes, if Live 8 was announced, nothing is confirmed yet. At the helm of this race around the world: Alexander Delpérier , as we announced. Exclusive focus on the event of the season.http://www.purepeople.com/article/the-amazing-race-focus-sur-la-folle-course-d-aventure-autour-du-monde_a105864/1 (http://www.purepeople.com/article/the-amazing-race-focus-sur-la-folle-course-d-aventure-autour-du-monde_a105864/1)
A breathless race
Produced by Shine (to whom we owe the excellent The Voice ), The Amazing Race is a federative program wants to positive values of self-transcendence, discovery and exchange. They are 11 pairs to compete in a race around the globe. All means of transportation are taxed and the money is provided. But the trails are treacherous, between dramatic challenges and general knowledge quiz, all while discovering the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Panting, running is punctuated by double eliminations, U-turns or twists exciting.
The game is simple: each team starts and finishes the steps in one place. And of course, the duo comes last is eliminated. In steps, candidates must pass checkpoints mandatory reserve their surprises. After twenty days of madness, all candidates have passed the finish line on July 23 at the Stade de France.
Strong personalities
But The Amazing Race , they are also very engaging and surprising pairings, came to launch a personal challenge. PurePeople you to discover the first two duets. Anthony and Helena are Belgian and torque. Very united lovers are complementary and want to test the strength of their relationship ... Fatigue, tension, surpassing oneself, the couple emerge he more cohesive?
Let us also meet William and Loïc, childhood friends Paris, which form a duo said "Spare" (read "reserve"). The duo is ready to enter the race at any time. On the one hand, we Loïc, model, and the other, William, soldier. Two great athletes are total opposites: if one is grumpy, the other is pretty cool. Suffice to say that the pair will make sparks.
A carton mondial
The Amazing Race is finally a worldwide success. United States, there are already twenty seasons since 2001. Present in Brazil, Israel or Norway, it was time for the crazy program finally arrived in France.

That's the point. The prize is even worse if you also make a comparison with the TARLA prize (or TARAus).
I've got other news about this race. 9 teams are on the race and the final prize is 50 000€. There is also 10 legs and 7 country (United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Japan, USA, Brazil, South Africa and France).

This reminds me Jackson Square in the French Quarter in New Orleans, La. It is across the street from the Jackson Brewing Co.....whose lable was JAX beer.
Ive only just come across this site otherwise would have posted sooner - took this photo by the Beverly Hills sign on 12th July this year. The same day I had a team literally run into me on Hollywood Blvd near the Chinese Theatre (young F-F team)
The first hour of the amazing race: http://www.dailymotion.com/hub/xb0j_Amazing-Race#video=xufmiiWhat did the Father & Son say at the very start of the video? and the Parisians at the 51 minute mark? :duno:
Each episode are 2h length.
I've been waiting for a french version for so long and I have to say it's great!.
I only have two complaints. One is the really weird placing of the pre-race confessionals and the other (much worse) is how the host talks over the race. We can see what's going on, we don't need it told to us.
I'm excited for the rest of the season.
The 1st leg is finish:Show contentAntoine & Helena are the last team to arrive and are eliminated. The first team, Heidi & Michel don't win a reward. The detour was Camel/ Pearl, some teams did the pearl task but have some trouble. The camel track was easier. The roadblock is a skydive at 13,000 feet. There is also 3 others task, the task of the locks with the key in Paris, a Route Info in the greatest tower of Dubai and another task in Ski Dubai, the winter station. They build a snowman outside the winter station. The next leg will be in Bangkok with a food task including scorpion and another task with elephant.
If only I had the video file, I wouldn't mind making a subtitled version for everyone.

Kevin.. Please find us the subtitle version.. :hugs:
If I had a way to get the video file, I wouldn't have a problem adding subtitles to it myself. Any suggestions?
Link to second hour ?
What's Heïdi & Michel's relationship? Are they friends or relatives?Friends. I think I read that she's the daughter of one of his friends, but I may be wrong there.
Friends. I think I read that she's the daughter of one of his friends, but I may be wrong there.Google translate gave the same thing. I just think that's a weird relationship they have to go on the race :stare
What's Heïdi & Michel's relationship? Are they friends or relatives?
The 3rd leg in Tokyo is finish.
The first task of this leg is at Shibuya Crossing when they search a clue who is on a screen (looks like the 1st leg of TAR19). It's a word in japonese about a famous dog (i forget his name). When they found the word, they say to a man with clue. Some team got problems, especially a M/M team who fall at the last place.
All teams go to a capsule hotel for the night period. Each team will start every ten minutes tomorow.
The day after, teams go to the Raichukainkan Temple for the Roadblock. A task with a sumotori (Japanese Wrestler) and a clue attached to the sumotori. The task is easy because the sumotori is a young men.
After that, teams go in Harajuku with another task. They meet a Manga Fan dressed as Sangoku (if you know dragon ball z) and offer him a pink present (pink is the favorite colour of manga's fan)
The race is not finish at all, a team got a problem with taxi two different times. We are now at the detour Fish/Pasta.
The fish task consisted to fishing 15 goldfish using the technic of a japanese game, goldfish scooping. It's a difficult task.
The other task is also difficult, teams walk with samourai shoes to give pasta soup for 150 meters. If they overturn the recipe, they must restart. 3 teams got problem with this task.
Teams make their way to Hikawa Jingan Shibukya for the 1st u-turn of the history of TAR France. The 1st team u-turn another team (the team who got difficulty with 2 taxis). After that, they go to the pit stop at Odaiba Park.
All teams remain in the race because it's a NEL.
I don't know if the last team to arrived (the team who was u-turn) will have a speed bump.
I managed to finally find episode 3 and 4 - I think 1 and 2 are no longer available or at least I could only find short video's of it.
However the recapitulations of the previous episodes are so extensive that you don't really need to I think. :lol:
I like it but I think 2 hours is too long as all that happens can be done in 1 hour episodes too imho.
There is too much repitition (the host stating the bleeding obvious not once but 3-4 times as if the viewers lack short time memory for one thing eg :gaah: ) and the interviews that are interwoven take a long time and take away the 'pace' of the race & tasks that are being performed I think. Too much time spent on how everyone feels and things and is deflated in spirit or whatever..
I like the destinations but as the flights seem all to be pre-arranged there isn't much of the rush feeling you'd get on the race, and there isn't much movement between the teams except for how they happen to do on specific tasks. I don't get the same 'interaction' feeling like I do on the American TAR, as so much seems to be chewed out in advance.
Also I kind of don't like how easily the contestants seem to want to give up, or seem deflated. I always like it when contestants don't give up hope as in TAR you really never do know.. this last episode 3 couples at minimum were ready to give up it seems and thought they were last.. I don't really get that..
Other than that it's enjoyable enough to watch I think. :) Not really rooting for anyone in particular yet, there's nobody that really stands out and nobody I dislike although one of the ladies on the surfer's team is a little annoying as she's competitive but generally not competent at the tasks so far, so she gets frustrated a lot. :duno:
Does anybody have a link to watch episode 2 and onwards?Go to www.d8.tv, that is the television stations website. They have all the episodes available.
I watched the first episode and I felt it was extremely slow, with lots and lots and lots of repetition. Maybe it was designed so that people that tuned in mid-episode could still follow.
Apparently they don't have them anymoreDoes anybody have a link to watch episode 2 and onwards?Go to www.d8.tv, that is the television stations website. They have all the episodes available.
Here's some ratings news for TAR France. It's pretty ugly.

New audience fall on Amazing race D8
Monday, December 3, D8 has released the seventh episode of Amazing race in the first part of the evening.
During this, the five remaining pairs continued their stay in Brazil. They arrived in Rio de Janeiro. When "roadlock" candidates had playing football, one of the passions of the premises. A party that was complicated because each dribble while dancing the samba or, alternatively, build a sand castle.
On this occasion, the adventure game has made its weakest performance with 445,000 viewers for only 1.7% of the public present at his post. The issue was then overtaken by all Freeview channels with the exception of France 4.

I need some help....I'm sorry, but it just doesn't seem to be available anywhere else on the internet but the Channels website.
i missed the episode 4 and 5 last couple weeks, so i went on the d8 website and found out that they had deleted the video. (12/5/2012)
I was so sad about that since that was only 2 USA legs that is not serve as start/finish line!!!
I wonder if any of you know where I can watch it or download it, or if someone can send the video to me.
I just re-watched this season. I have to say, there is absolutely no question as to why this was never picked up for a second season.
This is the most dull television show I have ever watched in my life. This show took boring to an entirely new level. I note some previous posts talking about this, but they do not do it justice at all.
This is like TAR for babies. Everything is explained in excruciating detail by the contestants in interviews, and then is explained AGAIN in excruciating detail by the host in his constant voice-overs that account for at least 50% of each episode. This takes "snail's pace" to an entirely new level.
Take, for example, the leg in Hawaii. Teams did three things here: A flag semaphore Roadblock, a luau on a beach (not a task), and a Detour. That's it. Two tasks and a bonus thing, so a somewhat standard TAR leg. This was PAINFULLY stretched out to cover two whole hours. There was barely enough footage to cover a single hour episode.
But, keep in mind something; the first half of this season featured episodes that were two hours WITHOUT COMMERCIALS. So it wasn't 1 hour 20 minutes of boredom in Hawaii, but two WHOLE EXCRUCIATING ENDLESS HOURS.
How did I EVER bring myself to enjoy this in the past? Good grief... If you are frothing at the mouth trying desperately to find links or ways to watch this season, don't bother. It's not worth it.
And why does it matter? Just curious.
I also liked it, good cast with some intelligent people, longer episodes meant some tougher tasks, more time to get to know them. Even without subtitles I liked it. I know those used to one hour shows (adverts included) may struggle, but it's just a matter of getting used to a longer format. The Australian version was a slightly longer than one hour and that benefited too.
