Looks like Leo and Jamal are the only team to be eliminated in a Leg 11 for a stretch of 4 seasons (23-26).

U.S. Statistics
-Amy & Maya have the most unique/individual placements for a winning team: 8 (placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th) at some point in the Race.
-Adam & Bethany were the only team to complete a Fast Forward in their season AND they did not win the Race. This was only the 4th time that happened (last time was Nicolas & Donald in TAR 12).
-TAR 25 was the first season since TAR 11 in which four different teams were NEL'd

Considering what kind of season TAR26 is, it's pretty obvious that M/F will definitely be in the F3 again.

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).

UPDATED List with ALL islands in TAR 25:
Islands in parentheses!
New York: (Manhattan, Long Island)
USVI: (St. Thomas Island, Carvel Rock*, Hans Lollik Island)
UK: (Great Britain)
Shetland Islands: (Mainland Shetland, St. Ninian's Isle)
Denmark: (Zealand) [the island where Copenhagen is]
Italy: (Sicily)
Malta: (Malta, Manoel Island*)
Singapore: (Singapore, Sentosa)
Philippines: (Luzon) [the island where Manila is]
Los Angeles: (Terminal Island)

* Indicates islets, or VERY SMALL islands.
This means a total of 16 islands featured in TAR 25!!!

Please tell me if I've missed any!
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.

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.

You forgot TAR 1, they are tie with TAR 7, with F3 were in Top 3 together in 6 legs.  :cmas16

Dave and Connor to me don't count because they received the injury during the race I mean a dissability that they have had a long time and I just forgot Peter & Sarah  :cmas13

Repost:

Adam & Bethany S25

New curse:
1) Disability or handicap team curse that MANAGED TO MAKE INTO F3 FINISHED THIRD PLACE??? :funny:
2) Disability or handicap team curse that FAILED TO MAKE INTO FINAL 3??? :funny:

I think curse #1 is applied to Charla & Mirna (TAR 11), Margie & Luke (TAR 14), Adam & Bethany (TAR 25) since they managed to make into final 3.

So for curse #2 is applied to Charla & Mirna (in TAR 5), Margie & Luke (TAR 18, TAR 24), Peter & Sarah (in TAR 10), Mark & Michael (TAR 14), Amy & Daniel (TAR 21) since they failed to make into final 3.

So effectively what you're trying to tell me (and please correct me if I'm wrong!!) but if they have a team with some form of disability or handicap that may impair them along the race... That they're either going to be IN the Final 3 or NOT in the Final 3!? :O
