Bit of a Random Fact that I thought of there:

Every season of the US Version has had at least one M/F team in the Final 3, (As of Season 23)
But has NEVER had a Final 3 that consists of 2 M/M Teams, and 1 F/F Team.

I find this funny as both Australian Seasons, and the Canadian Season has had a Final 3 Combination of 2 M/M & 1 F/F,
and neither of these seasons have ever had a M/F Team in the Final 3.  :cmas10 :cmaslol
As so far I know in these seasons had NEL/KOR/TBC legs for 9 teams remaining (US season 9;17;18;22 and Vietnam season 2, VN season 3 is currently being aired) no M/F team ever was win

I'm currently compiling statistics into another excel file, but for now some interesting facts I've seen  :)

The rarest team type (MM,MF,FF - Family,Friends,Couple combination) is the FF-Couple. Only 2 of them have been in the Race (Kate & Pat in S12, and Carol & Brandy in S16).

This is followed by MM-Couple with 8, counting repeat seasons: Joe & Bill (1 & 11), Reichen & Chip (4), Lynn & Alex (7), Tom & Terry (10), Ron & Bill (19), Josh & Brent (21), Tim & Te Jay (25).

Third rarest is MF-Friends with 9, counting repeat seasons: Flo & Zach and Aaron & Arianne (3), Russell & Cindy (4), John Vito & Jill (11), Ari & Staella (12), Joey & Meghan (22 & 24), Tim & Marie (23), and Mark & Mallory (24).

After that (counting repeat seasons and season 25):
MF-Family: 20
FF-Family: 21
MM-Family: 27
FF-Friends: 38
MM-Friends: 41
MF-Couple: 102 woah

Also, there have been at least 4 MF teams per season (5 seasons have 4 MF teams) and a record of 8 MF teams (season 6). Meanwhile, only 2 seasons have 4 FF teams (17 & 25), the most of any season, while season 15 have the least (w/ 1 FF team). MM teams have a range of 1 (3 seasons) to 5 (2 seasons) per season.

Everytime that TAR US has been to Australia there have been two legs there AND one of those legs has been a non-elimination.

These facts probably won't last past the second season (unless there's some type of curse), but:

Some for TAR Canada:
The first two legs are always in British Columbia (not including starting line). [S1 Kelowna/Vancouver, S2 Victoria/Tofino]
If you're second-to-last in the first leg, you will be last and eliminated in the second leg. [S1 Jamie/Pierre, S2 Jen/Shawn]
Every team who was eliminated at the first pitstop had previously incurred a time penalty. [S1 Treena/Tennille, S2 Shahla/Nabeela ]

Due to their short length, they are probably in the "not so interesting" category for now.  :funny:

You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

(Not so) interesting Fact, but cool all the same :lol: .... After last nights TARCA Leg 3, Natalie & Meaghan have tied Rombers Amazing, (Pun Intended), record from TAR AS of winning the first 3 Legs.

This marks only the second time it's happened (in an English Speaking Season), and if they keep this up, Dave & Rachel could be in jeopardy of losing the crown of most leg wins in a single season.  Not sure whether I'd like to see them take that record though?  ???
All the same, I'm quite happy to see Romber's record tied, and hopefully beaten next week, by an all female team.  :yess:

More from TAR Canada:
The first team eliminated was a F/F Team (S1 Treena/Tennille, S2 Shahla/Nabeela)
The 9th place team was a F/F (S1 Treena/Tennille, S2 Jackie/Laura)
The 3rd Episode was Producer-Named (S1 Hoodoos and Hoo-don'ts, S2 Snakes and Liars)

This is more a Potential Record, then 100% definite, but after watching last nights Episode of TAR OZ v NZ (Leg 6), it occurred to me, could John & Murray now be considered the Greatest Team to ever be Eliminated from the Race?   ???
Based purely on the fact their lowest placement prior to Elimination was 2nd.

If anyone wishes to add more light on this, please do, as I'm rather intrigued to know if I've discovered a new record. :lol:

I thought of them, but didn't really think they'd be considered better overall as they only lasted 4 Legs, and came 8th overall, a lower position than John & Murray.  But if there is any team to rival this "record" of John & Murray's, it's definitely Romber.

We've been talking so much about the Leg 3 curse , so i decided to make this count.

Teams who won the Leg 1 won the race in 26% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 2 won the race in 17% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 3 won the race in 4% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 4 won the race in 13% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 5 won the race in 30% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 6 won the race in 26% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 7 won the race in 26% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 8 won the race in 17% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 9 won the race in 34% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 10 won the race in 39% of the races.
Teams who won the Leg 11 won the race in 34% of the races.

Ha , that was fun.

(In this case, formerly dating, exes, seperated, divorces are included)

Of the 2 teams to be eliminated with an express pass, they were both eliminated on Leg 4 and on sand, IIRC. (Indonesian beach, Carcross Desert)

There have been two seasons where neither of the U-Turns were used: TAR13 and TARLA 3.

In TAR23, all the visited countries' flags contained red- Chile, Porugal, Norway, Poland, Austria, UAE, Indonesia, Japan, and the USA!

I believe TAR3 has had the most countries visited in a single season, 13. Also, they probably had the most "triple-country" legs: Leg 3 (Mexico -> England -> Scotland) (unless you count that as Mexico -> UK), Leg 5 (Portugal -> Spain -> Morocco), Leg 10 (Switzerland -> Malaysia -> Singapore), and Leg 7 (Morocco -> Germany -> Austria -> Germany). And, all of the countries except the US were new. If only TAR26 could match that, lol.

How's this for a totally random fact:

If you take TAR25's premiere date (9/26/14) and combine that into one number (92614), that is the ZIP code for Irvine, California, where former racer Jamal Zadran currently lives.

Brook & Claire are the 50th team in the U.S. edition to make it into the Final 3! :hrt: :hearts: :conf: If they didn't have a penalty on that leg, Jill & Thomas would have been the 50th team.
