I think that we can guess if names are long or not by how they are both written on the boards.
I mean Joanne starts near the edge, so Mic__ should be a fairly long name, well, compared to Emilia & L__

I'm speculating that there are two all female teams left since the small boards with J/M & E/L are pink & purple

For the names, I would guess Joanne & Michelle, Emilia & Lucy, Grace & Joseph, Paul & Steve and Shane & Andrew

I would speculate:
Emilia and L ???
Joanne and Michael\Micah\Michelle ???
Grace and Joseph\Josephine\Joshua ???
Paul and Steven\Stephen ???
Shane and An :cmas5

Hard to say, but I think that for Emilia and L, the next letter seems to be either a 'U' or an 'O' in my opinion. Could be things such as Lucy, Lora and many other names!

For Joanna & Mic, I think the next letter starts with a vertical line, so it could definitely be a 'H', and Michelle and Michael are possible, but I don't think the beginning of the letter matches the shape of an 'A', so I would guess that it isn't Micah. I think it could also be a 'K', so something like Mickey, Mickayla (very weird spelling! :cmas17 ) or Michaela could be possible? :cmas5

This is just my speculation on those letters, but I could be off...

Anyone using the Banff photo needs to credit the owner of that photo please. Jeffrey Simpson. Thanks!

Combining some earlier info with the Banff board:
 
This is sketchy but...names should be accurate.
 
In digging around I found these possible matches.

POSSIBLE Team: Father/Daughter?? from Parramatta NSW (??)

Female:  Grace Caristo >>now disappeared from FB. A few references to some modelling and two photos from a teenaged local pageant in 2005.



Male: Giuseppe George Caristo>>There is a George Caristo Solicitor in Parramatta. No photo available. Possibly not the same person.

Giuseppe translates as....Joseph

Thoughts?? Again, names SHOULD be accurate.

Looks very plausible to me. I think this might be a more recent photo? She looks like the girl spotted in the Paris blog Kiki posted and the photo posted by bc992.

If that's her in the photo from Paris, and her partner is the man next to her, I doubt she's with her father. Maybe a brother?

PURE SPEC:

Fwiw, I've found a cricket club website with a Joesph Caristo there... it's an U15 cricket team during 2003/2004. That would make him 22 and eligible for the race. Maybe this could be a Brother/Sister team then??

You realize this is the Australian version, right? Those two are American.

I don't know, but I just had a really strong feeling that these two are Paul Moore (on the right- acting as Wes Fitzpatrick on 'Winners and Losers') and his teammate Steve Peacocke (on the left- acting as Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton on Home and Away Australia)...

Someone expert on image/picture comparison here, please do so compare both of them :)

I don't think so.   The guy on the right has a full sleeve tattoo on his right arm - Steve Peacocke doesn't.

Guys, thanks to help from Rich & Peach, it looks like we may have some possible TARAus Contestants:

Possible Team #2: Sam Hay & Geoff Stick - Both from Launceston TAS. Possibly the M/M seen at the Meydan racetrack??? Will look through the screencaps when peach is able to put them up :tup:

I presume they're friends. Also we may have our first amputee contestant -  Geoff may be an amputee of some kind?? Not sure on specifics though.

Sam Geoff


Possible Team #3: Sue Bumbak & Teresa Italiano - Both from WA. Possibly the F/F team seen in checking in in Delhi. Possibly the same F/F hippy team seen in Manila



- Sue

Possible Contestant: Tarryn Lee Thornton - no idea of a partner yet, may need some further investigation. But she's currently a Sports Dietitian for major football clubs (such as St. Kilda and Port Melbourne VFL) and has previously played for Victoria in State basketball.

- Tarryn

Nice work Oval! Here is another photo of Geoff. Looks like he has a love or link to horse racing! Here he is winning the mens fashion on the field at the Launceston Cup back in 2010 (notice his left arm):

Pure speculation at this stage? There is a big lack of evidence for this.

Special thanks to Peach & Rich once again for help for getting this team!

Possible Team #4: We think we may have our Pink girls, Joanne & Michelle Troy – Sisters and possible twins (?) from NSW.

This is NOT 100% confirmed but we believe look like a good match. IF indeed they are true, they're presumed to be in the final 5, thanks to the names on the Banff Board.

Joanne works for Jetstar, Michelle is a model and both are NRL St. George Dragon’s Cheerleaders. Click their names below for their Dragon's profiles.

        
Jo (Joanne)                                                                          Michelle

Joanne:


Michelle:
     


Here's some side by sides of the girls with the racers at Meydan. When peach posts those photos from our other blogger at Meydan with clear shots of the girls' faces I'm sure you'll be convinced ;)

Joanne:


Michelle:

Top detective work Oval! This find is from sheer brut force web searching which looks to have paid off for you!  :gj:
