The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race Discussion
Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!

Something I noticed from TAR24:
At every leg starting Leg 2, if a team departing the Pit Start is shown given a confessional, and the background is different from everyone, they come last on the leg. (Pit Start confs dont count)
Leg 2: Mark & Mallory's confessional background at the start is different from everyone else. (They're the only team to have Pit Start confessional)
Leg 3: Instead of the confessional background from Leg 3, Joey & Meghan's opening confessional is from Leg 2.
Leg 4: Brenchel's confessional is shown with the introduction "Meet the Teams" background.
Leg 5: Margie & Luke and Caroline & Jennifer are both shown with Introductory background for opening confessionals. Ironically, Caroline & Jen would fall last the next leg!
Leg 6: Caroline & Jen's opening confessional is shown from Leg 4.
Leg 7: Jessica & John's opening confessional is from introduction.
Leg 8: Flight Time & Big Easy's opening confessional is from Leg 7.
Just a fun fact! :P
SamualDude:
Caroline & Jennifer have ran the most legs in Amazing Race History without (so far) a first place finish on a leg.

This has been evident for quite some time now, and has been happening since UB if I recall, though it could be earlier?
It just sucked when I noticed it first, because for every season since UB I've known who's going home based on this! :'(
Granted though there's like a 2% chance this will happen and that team wont go home, though very slim!

No M/F team won in every season which had a NEL/TBC/KOR at 9 teams remaining (S9 leg 3 midway point, S17, S18, S22)
First two seasons were win by a best friends team (BJ & Tyler, Nat & Kat)
Latter two seasons were win by a siblings (Kisha & Jen, Bates & Anthony)

Interesting (or maybe not all that interesting) thing I noticed. :lol:
Both, All Stars 1 and Unfinished Business, had only 4 Teams that made it to the Final 3 in their original season.
All Stars 1 - Rob & Amber, Teri & Ian, Joe & Bill and Uchenna & Joyce. (I don't count Eric as he's not a "Team" by himself)
Unfinished Business - Jaime & Cara, Margie & Luke, Ron & Christina and Jet Cord.
And in both Seasons, these teams were eliminated straight after each other, with none making it to the Final 3 for a 2nd time.
All Stars 1 from 8th - 5th.
Unfinished Business from 9th - 6th.
All Stars 2 also follows this same pattern, if we count the three-peats, of only having 4 Teams that previously made it to the Final 3.
The only difference here however is that these 4 Teams weren't eliminated one after the other like the previous 2 seasons.
And up until now, 5th was the highest a Final 3 team placed, but this has been broken by Brenchel.
Anywhoooo, I thought it was kinda neat that all 3 returning cast seasons each had only 4 Teams that reached the Final 3. :wise
