Well now that you say that peach, I'm a little more confident :lol:

I think her partner should be Tim Sweeney, an ex boyfriend and funnily enough an ex-pro baseball player from New York.



Tim Sweeney is confirmed. :tup:

Good job oval!

I found a filming permit for a team intro shoot a while back at Pasadena's Rose Bowl. Considering Leo is from around there, it looks to be for him and his partner :)

Yes he is, his restaurant located in Pasadena :)

Spoke to Leo tonight.  I had to be super secret due to the presence of others.  He was/is unaware of us.  It's going to be great place to go on Sunday nights come September.   :wohoo:

So, how about his teammate? Did the one I posted previously confirmed?

The only thing that comes up for the Afghanimals is a video gaming group :duno:

I just thought they were both Afghan-Americans: Temory Is common in Afghanistan (at least according to LinkedIn); but Lamaj seems to be of Albanian origin.
My guess for the website? They've been in the WRP bullpen for a year, and he's been squatting on the site name just in case.

Lamaj is also Jamal backwards.  :groan: I can't find a "Zadran investment group" but I have found a "zig motorsports" operating in Irvine and run by a Jamal Zadran.

I am still hoping our sleuths will turn up a connection...business, social media, family...something!

Hello, new guy here, long time lurker, been kind of helping on places other than RFF a little lately and found something that I need some help with so figured I'd finally register.

Anyway, I noticed a few of the verified cast followed someone that may or may not be from Team Bingo at the same time they followed others from the cast on various social media.

The guy they started following is Benjamin Floyd (https://twitter.com/benjaminfloyd). I'm assuming as someone in a public field as him, he has assistants that were keeping his social sites active. Now I can only assume here because as far as I know, there is no good picture of the second guy in this team other than seeing him be slightly bigger and middle-skin tone. Anyway, I started clicking around, saw he contributes to a site (http://www.timetoplaymag.com/ https://twitter.com/TimetoPlay) The guy in a bunch of those site's videos is Jim Silver (https://twitter.com/jimsilver) Looks awfully similar to the Team Bingo guy we did see. Both are Dad Bloggers as their connection.

So now I just need help figuring out if I really stumbled into a team. Team Dad Bloggers, Ben and Jim, yay or nay?

Edit: Went back and looked at all the pictures in this thread. Adding in another assumption with a picture that this may be the same missing guy on the team?

I like the second guy, but I've been watching these contestants on various social media accounts, and I never saw them following either of these guys. Benjamin Floyd is from Houston, the same town as Chester, which would at least explain him following him if he does. I think I just need to see a little more evidence here of who is following them and from where before I bite.

Thanks for the welcome!  :)

Now that it's zoomed in like that, I think my speculation is a dead end. Jim's nose is too big and curved compared to the Team Bingo guy.

Heh, maybe he had a nose job? :funny:

What is funny is how the eyebrows and chin kinda match, but I agree, the nose Knows.....

Plus I would add that our Bingo team appears to be father/son. Whether they are or not remains to be seen, but they should appear that way to the public eye.

I dont think that is confirmed in any way....I believe that was an observation and not a fact? ???

Looks like our "Boston" team consists of Amy Diaz, who was Miss Rhode Island USA 2008 and Miss Earth US 2009, and her boyfriend, Jason Case, president of Case Snow Management.

Exactly it was an observation, so they should look the way they appeared. Like a father/son, even if they aren't.

Seems like I heard this about Longhairs too, not sure I believe either of those right now! But always enjoy parent/child teams, so we'll see!
