Starting from the concept that theschnauzers presented above, I have found this resource:

http://parachutehistory.com/sp/index.php

It is a list of world skydivers. I don't know how comprehensive it is. Last names are in alphabetical order, but I do not remember that we have that for Martha and Gerrod. Slogging through this list is recommended for anyone with the time to do it. I do not have that time available.

re: Martha and Gerrod - when did we find out their first names? Tried searching and I can't find the source.  :duno:

Ummm, I'm actually starting to think the skydiving couple is probably fake or one of the teams in our final 6... unless there was a non-elimination before dubai... Why???

If there is one elimination at the starting line then it should go like this:
Japan pit-stop: 10 teams left (one team eliminated at start, one team at pit stop)
2nd leg pit-stop: 9 teams left
Vietnam pit-stop: 8 teams left
Cambodia pit-stop: 7 teams left...

Now at the end of cambodia there should be 7 teams left correct? Well, I think there was photo evidence of the red male-male team arriving at the pit-stop in cambodia before the harlem globetrotters and brian &  erica.

Which means the teams in Dubai are our final 6 + the red team.

exception is if there was a NEL before dubai, or if red team received some mark and michael type penalty  :lol:

By red team, do you mean the maroon couple or the red brothers? Because by speculation, our brothers could be the gay guys, just not with each other.

the red male-male team. there was a picture of them in the sightings thread arriving before two other teams.

 :res:

i'll make it more clear.

final 6:
blue couple (i can't remember their names)
father/son
orange male/male (bodybuilders??  :duno:)
Erika and Brian
Poker girls
Globetrotters

our final 7 would then include the red male male team

I know they were last seen in cambodia, but I believe we are speculating the maroon couple as the skydivers (old but not to old) that SteffiSunrise saw in Dubai.

 :groan: i don't know how to explain anymore

in that picture, the red team was on the way to the pit-stop before two other teams... that means they survive the leg.
if they survived the leg, there will be only 7 left (unless there was a NEL). which means there leaves no room for another team like the maroon team.






despite all that i may be having doubts about the red male-male team. i might just be   B:) too much... the backpacks in the picture make me think it might not be the red male-male team we are thinking about. can anyone else confirm?

I found this skydiving couple in the California wine country.  Jimmy and Clair Halliday.  I think she looks a little like the woman from the maroon couple.

 :-[

Are you kidding!  Ericka had to tell me Mika's name.  And then I knew I would never remember it so I wrote it down.  Ericka giggled at that.  I asked Brian what was 'his' name, as in what was Canaan's name, and he said he didn't remember.  Brian was reluctant to ask on the spot.  So I didn't push it.

Chateau can Keri be Clair? Or is that impossible?

It's just what Ericka said and she was not 100% sure about it.

Hmmm, I notice that Clair was twittering during the race - July 22, Aug 5 - so probably not...

Interesting since Ericka is also working on her Country singing career.

And thanks to everyone for figuring out that it's not the Brooks.  I'm not great at faces but the chin never looked right on Michelle.

Mika and Canaan have some connections to past Survivor contestants. They know Erik Huffman, Jaime Huffman (Dugan), and Taj George through the Nashville music world. I'm pretty sure they got on through Jaime, who "recruited" them.

Oh wow!  I was born (many years earlier) in the same town as Mika Combs (Hazard KY) and still have relatives that live there.  We might even be very distantly related since both my grandmothers were Combs' and most eastern Kentucky Combs were descended from seven brothers that came to the US in the late 1600s or early 1700s.

I found one article in the archives of the Hazard Herald, but you have to pay to see it.  And I think that's ridiculous, so I didn't pay for it.

This is the face page of the article.

I'll try to check with some relatives later this evening to see if they know anything about her.
Dear Lord: So far today, I'm doing alright. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, selfish or nasty. I have not gossiped, cursed, whined or eaten chocolate. However, I am going to get out of bed in a minute, and will need a lot more help then. Amen.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but since the race started July 18th and ended August 7th and they were probably sequestered before and maybe after, what is the range of dates that they'd be inactive from their internet profiles?

I'm trying to sleuth as well :)
