Good thought, but La'Roi Glover (https://twitter.com/LaRoiGlover) has retweeted a couple of items in the past few days. It's probably not him unless someone is using his twitter account while he's gone.

I'll look when I get home from work, but those guys are 100% defensive players. Probably on last years team. If they were still playing, they probably would have practices to report to near the end of filming. Just my two cents. That's how I found Trey last summer.

I'm TERRIBLE at face-recognition when it comes to identifying the racers, but what about Jordan Thomas for the guy in the gray Aztecs shirt?

I'm probably wrong, but you never know. :lol:

Could be, but his face doesn't seem chubby or round enough. That could also just be the angle the photo was taken.

I'm almost positive that one half of the grey team is Romeo Horn, a former defensive back for San Diego State who last appeared on the roster in 2011

A day or two back, I saw a instagram picture of Az-Zahir Hakim and Darnay Scott at some football camp that was taken last year and I thought they looked like the Aztec team. Unfortunately, I can't find that picture now. I was intending to look further into it, but I haven't hadn't a chance to do it yet. However, one is 35 and the other is 41 and I'm not sure the Aztec team is quite that old.

Az-Zahir Hakim hasn't tweeted from his personal (@AzHakim_81) or Foundation (@Hakim4Kids) accounts since May 28th. Darnay Scott doesn't appear to have a twitter account. I did find what may be Darnay Scott's Facebook account (https://www.facebook.com/darnay.scott.5), which has activity in the last day or two, but the pictures of him now look younger than when he was in the NFL, so I'm not sure it is really his page.

According to the information compiled in Wikipedia, San Diego State University has had a football team going back to the merger of two colleges in 1921. Originally part of the NCAA Division II, it became a Division I school in 1969.

The Hockey News features an interview with Bates Battaglia. "I'm pretty sure they (casting) contacted the whole NHL. Mike Sundheim, the Hurricanes P.R guy got that email and said " Oh, Bates would do that for sure.....I guess they thought it would be good t.v."

Maybe this is why the hockey girls got casted for tar23?

That pic is puzzling me too. Teams are not allowed to be far apart...so where are the teammates? ??? Perhaps checking in behind?

I was thinking the dark haired woman was from Team Boston but not sure.

I think if you zoom out in picture 6 there are two men walking in the women's direction (just exiting the line) with backpacks on. If I had a guess I think it is their respective teammates. One has a blue shirt (team boston?) and the other looks like he is wearing a black vest jacket with the same color shirt (grey) as his teammate with the pink hair.  Funny how many of us thought both of these teams were eliminated early because of a lack of sightings and all the sudden they pop up.

The woman in team Boston had a blue backpack, so that probably is her..
We have the cheerleaders and afghanimals seen at Lisbon.
We have the pink-tip hair blond seen at Santiao airport. That's 3 teams.
Blue bandanas in Santiago. That's 4.
One black man , not sure if the footballers or the co-ed team, only saw one. Makes 5 teams.
One or two women with long brownish hair- the other ff team or with the coed team. Possibly 6.
But not  sure except for the first four.

Can I just say, this is on their way to Leg 3 and I can see in the photos:

Pink Blonde and Male - Photo 1,2,5,6
Boston Strong - Photo 1,5,6
Young Frats/Blue Bandanas - Photo 2,3,5,7
Brunettes - Photo 1,2,3,7
Blondes - Photo 10 (and spotted in Lisbon)
Afghanimals - Photo 8,10 (and spotted in Lisbon)

and in the photo of a team running down the gangway towards gates, the guy has a blue backpack and is African American - so the Lime green African American couple (blue packs)? or secondly San Fran Guys (however they have black packs based on L.A. photo?) - Photo 9

This leaves 4 teams unseen in photos and only 9 teams (possibly 10) could be going to Lisbon:

Rockers
Older Hispanics
San Fran African American Guys or Lime Green African American Couple
Team Bingo

Teams are allowed to be separate for a moment if one member has to go to the bathroom.

Regarding the sole black guy, he's wearing a blue backpack. The black couple have blue backpacks, the football players have black backpacks.

I have added a new photo of our AfroAmerican couple to the new 1st post summary, I think it is the only one we have showing her face.

I think the Boston Strong female might be a beauty pageant girl. We haven't had a beauty queen on the race for a while now since Mallory. ???
