Title: Pit Stop Greeters
Post by: G.B. on November 28, 2017, 07:59:55 PM
I've been thinking of adding information about Pit Stop greeters to our Wiki, because we barely mention them at all currently. I would need help to make it any good, though, otherwise I'd be writing things like "A Vietnamese man" and nothing else.

So, one part of this thread will be for anyone who wants to help list or describe Pit Stop greeters. Are they wearing a specific type of clothing? Are they part of a profession? If they say something in a foreign language, what do they say? I'm not going to be working on this right away, but it would be good to get a start.

Or, if you want, feel free to also use this thread to just discuss Pit Stop greeters. Who are your favourites? What kind of greeter would you like to see that we haven't? Any ideas of how to incorporate greeters into the finale task?

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.

Post by: Xoruz on December 05, 2017, 05:29:47 PM
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."

Post by: gamerfan09 on December 05, 2017, 06:57:56 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pit Stop Greeters
Post by: G.B. on December 05, 2017, 09:08:48 PM
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...
Title: Re: Pit Stop Greeters
Post by: redskevin88 on December 06, 2017, 05:56:02 AM
Leg 8 greeters looks like they are ladies. You can tell from the headscarf and the one next to Phil has a feminine look.
Title: Re: Pit Stop Greeters

TAR 16
Leg 11 - Bao Xishun, World's tallest man at the time, Shanghai

It was so cool also because in the previous episode, the world's shortest man (Ping Ping?) gave them their clue after making noodles. He was funny!

Otherwise, I'm not going to include anything like "A woman in traditional clothing".

I may also at some point make a huge gallery of screenshots of greeters. Maybe.

He is always nearby. He is a hands on producer. Def would not mean he was the greeter.  Ask a racer?

CH2-4 has two greeters. One is (if I've done my translation correctly) Daniel Kirchert, Byton CEO and Co-Founder, who was there to talk about the prize. The other might be an impersonator, or just someone dressed in local cultural attire.

Bit of a weird one here. In HaMerotz 8, Leg 6/episode 20, the greeter in Santiago is wearing a sash identifying her as Miss Chile 20[her arm is blocking the year in every shot]. But not only can I not find any evidence of Miss Chile existing as a pageant at all - the two big pageants that feed into Miss Universe and Miss World are Miss Universo Chile and Miss Mundo Chile and neither is simply Miss Chile - but even looking through the photos of winners the greeter doesn't visibly match any of them from around the time the season was filmed. Anyone able to identify?

Also another odd one from earlier in the same season: The greeter in Amsterdam is clearly one of those "historical cosplay" greeters HaMerotz loves to do every so often buuuuuuut even with the power to look up what the historical figures in question looked like I can't tell if it's supposed to be William of Orange, Abel Tasman, or Frans Banninck Cocq (pictured in Rembrandt's The Night Watch). Any theories?

He looks like Frans Banninck Cocq, and that would make sense since the Pit Stop was outside Rijksmuseum.
