Pit Stop Greeters
G.B.:
Okay, here's another idea: Every week, I will post pictures of the greeters from a single race, and we can work together to describe and identify them, after which I'll post them up on the Wiki. If you don't have anything to add, feel free to just discuss any given group of greeters.
TAR1

Xoruz:
With regards to Gabriel, on the special thanks section of episode 1's credits a Gabriel Zulu is mentioned. I just assumed that was the greeter. A quick Google search later revealed a Linkedin page for Gabriel Zulu, which lists him as having "won the 'Responsible Tourism Showcase Honoree for Africa' and hosted the American "Amazing Race" as manager at Songwe Point Village."
gamerfan09:
the pictures are too damn big gb, maybe try to use img width? *shrugs*
that said, i don't really have any help, but i think IMDB may assist with identifying some greeters.
G.B.:
By the way, when I say 'Identity', I don't necessarily mean their name, but just some way to identify them beyond "A Chinese man" or such. Occupation? Impersonation? Etc...

Leg 8 greeters looks like they are ladies. You can tell from the headscarf and the one next to Phil has a feminine look.
