Is there some sort of 'Birthday Curse'? :cmas5 Teams tend to do really poorly when one/both of them has their birthday:

For instance, Derek & Drew were eliminated on their birthday on TAR3.

Nathan & Jennifer were eliminated on Jennifer's birthday on TAR12.

And Nick & Starr had their worst leg (Leg 9) on Nick's birthday, in which they had heaps of taxi troubles.

But Flight Time broke this curse, because I believe he and Big Easy won Leg 8 on Flight Time's birthday on TAR15.

Are there any other interesting facts regarding birthdays? :cmas5
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

I didn't know this either, until very recently - but every team who has won on Leg 3 of any version of the race has never won the whole race. :cmas16

Seems that no team that came from other reality shows won the race. ;)

No team finishing 5th, 7th or 10th in the first leg has ever won the race

That's Vanessa & Ralph, Kerri & Stacy, and Joey "Fitness" :res: & Danny. :yess:

And only one reality crossover team has made the final 3...all the others have gotten eliminated before the halfway point. I'm actually hoping that Brenchel will join that curse, because I really can't stand either one  :lol:

Possible one:

If they place first on a Russian leg, they will make it to final 3, or come in last the next leg.

TAR 5: Chip and Kim - Final 3
TAR 9: Eric and Jeremy - Final 3
TAR 13: Tony and Dallas - Eliminated next leg, Nick and Starr - Final 3
TAR 14: Jodi and Christie - last next leg, Margie and Luke - Final 3
TAR 17: Jill and Thomas/Nat and Kat - both Final 3

And I also noticed a couple of days ago that no team has ever won Leg 3 and finished the race in 3rd place - although this pattern would not hold true if we took International Versions of TAR into consideration. :tup:

How about if there are two Fast Forwards in a season, the winner of the second usually wins the Race? :lol:

Also when there is only one available FF the user wins the Race.

Will it happen again this season?  :lol:

Yes please! :hearts:

ETA: I looked into it and this is actually true. The only exception is in TAR11 (the exception season) when odd circumstances allowed one team to take a FF twice. So, if there are two fast forwards used by two teams then the winner of the second one has always won the race.

Surprised no one has posted the 'If you use your Express Pass, you won't come first curse'  :lol:

The curse continues :lol:

Somehow I really hope the Leg 3 Curse broke in this season just because I don't want to see Rachel & Dave winning 8 legs :lol:
