Took a shot at figuring out the tall, tanned and ombre half of the lone F/F team. The tan and physique makes me think she's a wrestler or something fitness-related.

Couldn't find a perfect match. The closest I came across was Canadian, unfortunately.
I spent a lot of time trying to find her. Thought she was an easy one.
At first, I used the pro volleyball player lead but found no match.
Then, I thought she could be a female wrestler of some sort but nothing definite.

As for her partner, nothing. She looks like she could be a dancer of some sort.

Patience is the key. I found Liz on Saturday and spent the whole weekend looking on all the classic sources to check before post her pic here.

Based on the picture above, about that blue singlet lady... two things that came into my mind:
1. She is probably a wrestler, fitness coach, weightlifter, someone very athletic.
2. Well, this is a bit ridiculous, could this contestant be a transgender? Her height and body shape seems look like a male for me...

It seems absolutely funny, but hey, isn't it cool to have  trans people in The Amazing Race?

Well sure, Philippines and Canada have already cast a trans racer. I wouldn't mind seeing the US get one :)

I'm leaning towards #1. #2 seems possible though. This racer is really hard to identify. She was the 1st racer I attempted to identify because of several clear pictures & videos available in the sightings and the fact she's super tall.

Where is the link that said volleyball? Have we checked beach volleyball as well? And coaches? ???

And I really see NO need to spec on some one's sexual orientation based on looks...let's not do that please.

The taller of the team 6 only F/F team MAY be a pro volleyball player.
The F/F team was the first of the second flight group!
I did check
Beach volleyball
volleyball
UFC female wrestlers- definitely no

There were several close calls but no matches when it came to social media
Then, I asked my friend and he said she looked familiar and nothing else.
And now I'm waiting to see if anyone will find her :funny:

her teammate is very petite, and has a dancers physique, or cheerleader, or fitness coach, or yoga instructor, or 1001 other possible occupations.    :snicker:   She seems to be very conscience of her appearance... very trendy dresser.  That really narrows the possibilities, doesn't it?   :funny:

Thanks to a combined effort of Peach, Alen and myself we've been able to track down one of our missing female racers.

Meet 6'3" self-confessed "Glamazon", Jessica "Jessie" Shields.

Jessie is a police officer and K9 handler from Youngstown, OH and works alongside her K9 companion Hector.

The pair have participated in Mahoning Valley's K-9 competitions in 2015 and placed first for Narcotics detection.

For comparison, the first is a photo of Jessie, second is from our LIVE sightings in Sao Paulo.



23 down now, just 1 more to go! :trampb:

Great job! That one certainly took a while.

Another police officer, huh? And she calls herself a "glamazon", I can think of a certain Big Brother updater here who will like this one :P

Great job! :cheer:
How tall is Francesca?
She looks short compared to Jessie but tall when it comes to the bodybuilding pics.

Was totally not expecting her to be a bodybuilder. Though she was a dancer...

I called it :P I said with the tan it'd be something of the sort.

Great job, guys! That's the whole cast.

Here are a couple interviews made to Francesca in the last years talking about how her life changed since the moment she decided to lose weight and her daily routine:
