Maria & Tiffany is the first all-female team to have two women of two different ethnic races (Taiwanese and American) followed by Nary & Jamie (Egyptian and American), Amy & Maya (American and African), and Kym & Alli (Italian and American).
:wohoo:

EDIT: Coincidentally, their respective seasons are divisible by 5.

You forgot Nat & Kat. (American and Asian)

You forgot Nat & Kat. (American and Asian)

Nat & Kat is actually Swedish descent American & Asian American
Thank you. :waves: Never occurred to me there were so many teams with different foreign descents in the past several years.

I think so far Caroline & Jennifer are the only team to visit all the countries in United Kingdom.

They did visit Scotland and Northern Ireland in TAR22, England and Wales in TAR24.

TAR 4 & 21's Final 3 took the longest to win a leg. (None of the Final 3 teams in those seasons won a leg until Leg 6).

TAR 6 & 15's Final 3 did not actually place in the Top 3 in a leg together until Leg 11 --- the longest for a Final 3.

TAR 7's Final 3 were in the Top 3 together in 6 legs - the most for a Final 3.

There have been 74 NEL's through the past 24 seasons (this excludes all fake Pit Stops in which the "leg was not over;" however it does include the legs with no rest period beginning in TAR 18).

0 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 12 teams remaining.
3 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 11 teams remaining (15, 18, 19).
0 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 10 teams remaining.
3 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 9 teams remaining (17, 18, 22).
6 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 8 teams remaining (6, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24).
10 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 7 teams remaining (5, 7, 10, 11, 14, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24).
12 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 6 teams remaining (1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23).
16 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 5 teams remaining (1, 2, 3[x2], 4, 5[x2], 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20, 22, 24).
18 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 4 teams remaining (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11[x2], 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 21, 23).
6 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 3 teams remaining (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9).

Digging deeper into the NEL's..

Out of the 3 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 11 teams remaining, 3/3 were survived.
Out of the 3 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 9 teams remaining, 3/3 were survived.
Out of the 6 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 8 teams remaining, 4/6 were survived (16, 20, 23, 24).
Out of the 10 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 7 teams remaining, 9/10 were survived (all except 14).
Out of the 12 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 6 teams remaining, 6/12 were survived (2, 6, 8, 13, 16, 18).
Out of the 16 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 5 teams remaining, 10/16 were survived (2, 3[x2], 4, 5[x2], 8, 9, 22, 24)
Out of the 18 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 4 teams remaining, 11/18 were survived (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11[x1], 12, 13, 15).
Out of the 6 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 3 teams remaining, 3/6 have eventually won the Race. (2, 3, 7).

Seasons where all NEL's were survived: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 18, 22, 24

Just a quick correction off the top of my head, 4/6 NELs that occured when 8 teams were remaining, the other one was TAR 23 when Nicky & Kim survived.
It's Clobbering Time!

Woah, did I do this right? Is it true there has not been one U.S Season where an M/F team did NOT make the Final 3?

List of All Female Teams to Make Final 3 so far: (The bold team is the winner)
1. Lyn & Karlyn (TAR10, 3rd place)
2. Dustin & Kanadice (TAR11, 2nd place) || (Original TAR10, 4th place) ||
3. Charla & Mirna (TAR11, 3rd place) || (Original TAR5, 6th place) ||
4. Jamie & Cara (TAR14, 2nd place)
5. Nat & Kat (TAR17, 1st place)   :hearts:  :hearts:  :hearts:
6. Brooke & Claire (TAR17, 2nd place)  :hearts:  :hearts:  :hearts:
7. Kisha & Jen (TAR18, 1st place) || (Original TAR14, 4th place) ||
8. Mona & Beth (TAR22, 3rd place)
9. Caroline & Jennifer (TAR24, 2nd place) ||(Original TAR22, 4th place)||

I can see the trend that the most all female team (except Charla & Mirna) that made into the final 3 in All Star season (11, 18, 24) are originally came appeared from the season that another all female team able made into the final 3.  And yet they placed 4th place on their original season.


For M/F Team that has made into the final three so far in 24 season: (The bold season is a M/F team hold the winner)
NO Season which have NO M/F team to make the final three
ELEVEN Season which have ONE M/F team to make the final three (1, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24)
SEVEN Season which have TWO M/F team to make the final three (2, 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20)
FIVE Season which have ALL THREE M/F team to make the final three (5, 6, 7, 19, 23)

That's really interesting --- only 5 F/F teams ever made it to the Final 3 in their first/only seasons. Kudos to Lyn & Karlyn, Jaime & Cara, Nat & Kat, Brook & Claire, and the most recent Mona & Beth (tbh they were the most random F/F team to make it to the Final 3 :lol: )!

I also like how it's becoming normal for F/F teams to make it far :hearts: 4 of the last 8 seasons had a F/F team make it to the Final 3, while the rest finished best at 4th to 6th. NOT FACT-the last season with suckish F/F teams was TAR 19 :lol:

Yeah, that is true to say an all female team are able to finished in Final 6 since TAR10 with the exception of TAR12 & TAR19.  :luvya:

Oswald and Danny have taken 3 Fast Forwards, the most of anyone.

Isn't that the statistical, and overall, reason why Dustin & Kandice is the best female team from the first All Stars era, and few female teams could even place within shouting distance of that record? ???

Just to continue on with TAR11 facts:

It is the only season post-TAR5 to have multiple leg winners (Oswald & Danny and Uchenna & Joyce's Fast Forward) - or at least I'm pretty sure it is.
Legs 5 to 12 were won by the F/F teams (If you include the highest finishers after the Fast Forward, too. Otherwise, it's legs 5-7, 9, and 11-12)
The top 4 teams placed on even numbers in their first leg (E/D with 4th, D/K with 6th, C/M with 8th and O/D with 2nd). To contrast this, the middle 4 teams (5th to 8th) placed on ODD numbers in their first leg (U/J with 7th, J/B with 5th, T/I in 3rd and R/A in 1st). The bottom 3 teams (9th to 11th) all had the same positions on the legs they've been on (9th, 10th and 11th).

Could TAR25 end up being the season with the most number of islands being visited? So far, they have visited Manhattan, Long Island (Queens), US Virgin Islands, Great Britain, Shetland Islands, Amager (Copenhagen).

If your team places 7th overall, you have ZERO chance of being featured in a returning players season.

In other words... a 7th place team has never been featured in a returning players season.

hopefully Shelley & Nici will be the first 7th place team to be featured in a returning players season

Btw , i found that all - female teams came last on the 9th leg on the last 3 seasons (22 , 23 , 24)
Hope a female team will not come last on this season )-**

Aren't Caroline & Jennifer the team to race the most legs (23) without winning a single one?  :funny:

And has anyone noticed that TAR Can had both seasons without a M/F team on the finale,although in the US version,in 24 seasons,there hasn't been a finale without one?
TAR Aus needed 3 seasons to see a M/F team on the finale too. TAR Aus and Can had the same finale pattern for their first 2 seasons (2 M/M teams and 1 F/F team). In both cases,the winners were always a M/M team. In one season,the F/F team finished in 3rd (Can S1 and Aus S2) and in the other,they finished in 2nd (Can S2 and Aus S1).
