I'm not sure I have a lot of insight about the longhairs, but I'd tend to rule out them being miners. I think that would put a lot of dirt on the cap (especially coal mining), but I think most miners would be wearing hard hats, so it's unlikely he would wear the cap too or that it would have that dirt pattern. Oil workers, maybe? Though I think the hat would be dirtier and probably unwashable.

The Carhartt jeans would suggest some kind of outdoor blue collar work like construction, logging, farming/ranching or hunting.  It probably doesn't go along with rockers or metalheads. Someone mentioned sawmill workers and that's possible, but having long hair around powerful and rapidly spinning machines sounds like a bad mix.

Dont you know if there is a tool to compare and list Facebook mutual friends? It would be MUCH easier to simply put into this tool links for 10 racers profiles we know and if there will be some mutual friends... it has something to do with the Race.

I think we would get the results much quicker...

No offence, but after seeing some of this mystery team photos I got one interesting idea. It would be very interesting to follow a team of homeless people on  their journey around the world in The Amazing Race. For example a couple of homeless people who were never out of the US... do you remember Dreamz from Survivor, right?

I said the same thing! It could be possible seeing as there is no other pictures of them or names even and they both seem to have made no social media contact with other racers?  :nut: :nut:

Team Blue/Boston - the girl looks a lot like Miss Massachusetts Amanda Narciso.

I'm currently thinking tattooist or possibly even lawyer. Abba from TAR21 was a music manager, not part of a band. The "Longhair Don't Care 2" could easily reside in California since they look like a 90% recruited team. They don't look as regular people like cousins, brothers, or boyfriends to me...

Does anyone know when the TAR23 cast will be released? I heard it was 20 days before the premiere date.

I wonder if the long hairs are miners. Lots of Alaskan guys have beards, but not hair that long.
Maybe California miners. Gems or gold. Just a thought.

Often, lol. We are honored and blessed when we find any, much less all!! Having 10 of 11 is awesome.

But we all would like to find this last team before the reveal, so if anyone has any hints, please let us know!

Male/Male. One with a wedding ring. Believed to be father/son. Unusual shirt logo. (I thought sure this would help us...)

Not much time left!!

I think I may have a close find to one of the longhairs. His name's Cody Stauber. Questionable enough, Ashley Covert (Team Kings) liked his Twitter page and he doesn't have that many followers or followings. It may be a coincidence, but it looks like a match with one of the longhairs' faces. Don't have much more info though. Getting to sleep now. :gnite: *hopes*

You can see through his facebook page, he works at LA Kings Ice Crew, that's why he's related to Ashley Covert, so I have to say it doesn't match. But nice try Rachel!  :)

I agree, it looks a lot like Cody, even some of the facial expressions. But it is hard to imagine Cody being as scruffy as the long hairs. Maybe the eyes are not quite a match. Good job  though.

Last autumn TAR premiered on September 30th and the cast release was on August 28th.
This season the premiere is on September 29th, ergo we could have the release tomorrow, August 27th.
From there to here, and here to there,
funny things are everywhere

I don't know the identity of the longhairs, but I might have a lead on the orange baseball cap ...





I have a similar orange cap from Cabela's, where the logo is sewed on and the edges of the logo patch are intentionally tattered.



I think the dark staining on longhairs' cap is just dirt and sweat-grime, since the darkest tones are the fabric between the seams and where fingers grab on it. 

Given how dirty the cap is, I am guessing they are loggers, ranchers or dope growers.

Thanks everyone for trying! I still think orange caps could mean hunters, it will be fun to see!

To be honest, they do not look overly strong, which kind of makes me doubt they are tree fellers or miners, but I could be wrong.
Hopefully the reveal will be today.

All the blame on me, Peach, for not finding them on time. I was checking FB periodically and I missed Brandon on the Tim Winniger list of recent friends.  :'( 
Doing today a re-check, I found it there.
