On the issue of the greeter (I might have to check how I scored this type of question last cycle), you can greet someone in forms other then speech. Things from handshakes, to music, to presenting flowers can all be forms of greeting.
So if last year, I counted multiple persons at the mat, (even if only one spoke) as the greeter then I will count it. But if I didn't then I will restrict it to the person speaking. This might take a bit (I do recall in season 12 the episode that was the first one that Ron & Christina won, we had issues over if the guard up to the mat counted but I don't want to go that far back). So I will double check last seasons game and look (someone mentioned episode 8 so I will head over to that first. And of course I picked a women (so no help for me).

I just checked the TAR 15 game thread, and everyone came to the conclusion that the greeter was an adolescent male. But I'm not sure if you counted both A) a man and B) multiple people as correct answers, or if you just counted A) a man as correct, since we don't have the actual game scores available for us to check. :duno:
The difference between that (TAR 15 Leg eight) greeter and this greeter is that the musicians were on the mat instead of on the pathway to the mat. I'm not sure if that difference should be considered significant or if we should just arbitrarily pick one and score the dang thing already. :lol:

Well my eternal harddrive is dead (its what I kept all my tav shows on, so I can't look back, currently at old episodes.
But I did remember in season 14's first episode, I graded the greeter question as multiple people. If someone could check that episode to see if more then one person actually spoke, then we will have our answer.

Thank you, I forgot about youtube. And after watching that footage, and bad on how I scored it then (and that no one complained about it, even with several corrections based on input over other issues for that leg) the correct answer will be multiple people.
And for future reference, any time multiple persons are on the mat or extremely close (arm length) they will count. If they are like an honor guard leading up to the mat (for example the band playing as season 9's teams went to the mat in episode 5 or 6, when Dave & Lori got the boot or the example in season 12 with Ron & Christina will not count).
And can I just say that season 14 episode is one Great opener for a season. It very well might be my all time favorite.
kwando1313 Thank you for finding it.
