After thinking through what happened in Leg 11 of TAR25, I think that twists really become unpredictable, and the team spared in that situation was very lucky. :reindeer Aside from that though, TAR is a game of luck at times. Some are lucky to arrive in the F3, while some are eliminated by some bad luck.
Here are some of my examples:
TAR21: Beekman Boys: Survived several legs at the bottom with a NEL, a 4H penalty, and a delayed flight, but later on won the race.
TAR22: CaroJen: Beat the firefighters in a canoe race in the 1st leg, and later managed to survived (usually at the bottom) until the Final 4, but were called back for a 2nd try around the world in TAR24.
TAR23: Tim & Marie: They were risking not to use their EP after knowing that they were way behind other teams in Leg 3. Lucky for them, Marie predicted right that there was a team behind them.
TAR25: Brooke & Robbie: Normally at the back of the pack for the earlier legs of the race. They somehow caught up towards the end of each leg.
TAR16: Louie & Michael: They were at the back of the pack for most times in earlier legs and were almost eliminated in Leg 2. They won some legs in Europe and got to the F4.
Who else do you think is an extremely lucky team? :cmas23
A bathroom break saved jamie and cara.
sometimes a bathroom break can be your saving grace to stay in the race :cmas16

Tammy and Victor in Romania? If Brad and Victoria made that flight, they would have been done.
Hello! This is my first post! :)
Jaymes and James [TAR21]: Fortunate to outrun Rob and Sheila to the pit stop.
Only the winning teams got lucky I think... in some way or anotherTbh all winning teams are lucky in some way

Dave & Connor are lucky Dave stepped in a hole in the sand, otherwise, they would have never been invited back for All-Stars and somehow won it.

Yea, don't think they stood a chance with TAR 22... thought that it was Bates and Anthony race to lose.
For the U.S. original, I will have to say Caroline & Jennifer had the most amount of luck, finishing either dangerously low or surprisingly well at the Pit Stops and on the course. Hadn't Matt & Daniel's canoe capsized, the Twinnies' miscommunication at Canton Tower, and Jet & Cord's generosity for giving them the second Express Pass, they would have been kaput.I'm not sure if any other team can even beat them in luck! If TAR was purely a luck-based game, they would be at the finish line while the other teams are at least a leg behind :lol:
But as a franchise, Lucy & Emilia from TARAus2 is the luckiest team ever. :luvya:
L1: Saved by Ross & Tarryn's Salvage Pass
L2: Saved by Adam & Dane's penalty
L3: Saved by Teresa struggling at the Panna Meena ka Kund RB
L4: Saved by Kym & Donna's navigation fiasco (Note: L&E detained by Arab police) :faint:
L5: Saved from non-elimination by Ross & Tarryn and James & Sarah struggling badly at the mosque symbol RB
Here's Lucy & Emilia's were track record :) BTW, I already typed this when you guys posted.If they didn't have to go to Cuba to end Leg 7, Lucy & Emilia would've had a top 3 finish! I wonder if they would've kept their lead after that leg, though...
Leg 1: They were last, but saved by the Salvage Pass from Ross & Tarryn
Leg 2: Saved by Adam & Dane's selling-personal items penalties.
Leg 3: Saved by Sue & Teresa breaking down at the stair counting Roadblock
Leg 4: Got detained by police in Dubai for driving into royal grounds, but were saved by Kym & Donna getting very very lost.
Leg 5 - 6: Nothing of note really, but two teams (James & Sarah and Ross & Tarryn) quit the symbol column Roadblock, giving the sisters some cusion.
Leg 7: The one leg they were actually good at (running in front of the pack alongside Paul & Steve and Michelle & Jo), was oddly cut, setting the pit stop a flight away in Cuba, dropping the sisters to 5th.
Leg 9: Saved by James & Sarah's money troubles and missing the HoO opening.
Leg 10: Luck ran out :( , and were eliminated.

Trust me, it's funnier to watch. TARAus 2 was truly one of the best seasons of any TAR franchise imo
As for the TARAus team, I knew the results shown in Wikipedia were very suspicious. :funny: It's hard to beat their luck.
Lumilia ETERNAL bottom feeder LOVE~ <33333 :hearts: :<3 :luvya: :conf: :cheer: :hoot: :wohoo:
I will be LOVE them MOREEEEEEEE if they eliminated the UGH x3 :barf team a.k.a. Paul & Steve and bottom feeding into the F3.
The F3 should be Shanedrew, Lumilia and Michelle & Jo and TARAus 2 will be rank higher. :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

And the third (in the season after that post was made) almost lost his backpack because another racer accidentally took it!
Uchenna and Joyce [TAR7]: If the plane had not *mysteriously* gone back to pick them, then Rob and Amber would have easily won, and that would have been the first time that the first flight to the final destination was significantly ahead of the subsequent flights.
