I have this feeling that TARA 3 started filming. Look at this BLOG.

Out of the city
May 22nd 2008 by ARussell

Im here in Ko Samui now, and it is awesome... it took around 16 hours to get here by bus... but it was worth it, I have had enough of the crazy city of Bangkok for now. It is a cool city though, I saw a girl I went to highschool with just randomly on the street and I saw the Amazing race being filmed, people eating bugs and throwing them up in the middle of the street..... but after being offered to buy the same Tshirts millions of times and getting slapped by a ladyboy prostitute on the back because I didnt want her to keep me company, I decided it was time to go.

So after a long ride Im here and it is so nice to not hear horns honking and people shouting, the water is so blue and the sand is so white, it's the kind of place you see on a post card. We got a bungalow not too far from the beach at less than 10 bucks each a night. We'll stay here for one night then head to an island 1 hour north of here called Ko Phan Ngan where we will spend quite a bit of time. I havent eaten anything too strange yet, I had shark for lunch today which was actually pretty good I thought.

Well I had better go Im sweating like a pig and a cold beer on the beach is calling my name, dont be jealous.

Finally Arrived Ulaan Bator

We finally arrived in UB after passing the amazing race in Beijing. Visited Lotus Centre yesterday and were surprised and happy that some of the kids actually remembered our names. The staff and ger mothers were happy as well to remember us.

A U.K. volunteer was asking the kids to draw some pictures to represent Mongolia kids in an exhibition in Norway. The theme of the drawing is " I have a dream".

Oh dear, we can't seem to load the pictures here. Shall try to do it at a internet cafe the next time.

But what is puzzling me is that if I remember it correctly, the url of the blog is somehow familiar to me as one of the bloggers who was attacking Marc-Rovilson tandem last season.

It is true that Amazing Race Israel will be shot around Asia, but it's too early for them to have started the filming. Could this be Amazing Race Brazil????

Yes, it is confirmed. TARA 3 started shooting last week. For spoilers, go here by CLICKING THIS LINK.

This thread will remain here but if you have spoilers, put in that thread.

If you'll open the axn website you'll see this

TARA 3 Started Filming??? Thailand as the starting Line??? 210

It means the final casting for the teams would be on the said date.

If you happened to read the application procedure for the race you'll see this...

TARA 3 Started Filming??? Thailand as the starting Line??? 312

Correct me if I'm wrong MAY is not considered as MID YEAR. Adding to this information, I was told that filming will start either last week of June or first week of July. Traditionally, in amazing race "bible" (US version) race should start at sunday. Franchise like amazing race asia usually follows this one. Season 2 started the race in July 1(which is Sunday!)

Having said that...I think what the blogger saw is definitely not the asian version of the amazing race... Krishna (Exercising)

Thanks Raggededge for that information. Yes, they announced those dates in their website and in the application form but it is still the call of the producer when to start the filmin.

It is pretty sure that it is the Amazing Race Asia based on the descriptions of the contestants made by the blogger who saw them. You can read it at Spoilers section.

If it is Amazing Race US, the finish line was in Portland, Oregon on 14 May. It was much publicized and was picked up by local papers there.

Based on the spoilers, US teams were seen in LAX Airport en route to Brazil on 22 April which happened to be Tuesday. If TARA 3 started filming on 20 May, it happened to be Tuesday also. What I am telling is they don't religiously follow that day ( which is Sunday).

So they started the race a week after the US version finished filming.
