This is also the first time ever that a visit to Japan has featured two Pit Stops.

Jody & Shannon > Kevin & Drew
If it wasn't for that sassy cow, Jody would have definitely beat Louie & Michael. :(

I believe Jeff & Lyda also has the record for spending the most time at a dancing task - 4 hours more or less.

How much time did Mark spent on the Bollywood RB?

I believed Mark had more than 5-6 hours in the Bollywood dance Roadblock.

I wonder who was more worn out, the Bollywood Dancers who had to dance with Mark for those six hours, or the World Order dancers who had to dance from the afternoon all the way to the evening for the nine TAR26 teams who did that Detour? :lol:

I thought he was there for a little bit more than 3 hrs and 40 min. Was there any elapsed time shown or a difference in shadow lengths (human sundial)? ???

If you had team color of pink in season 24 or 25, you didn't go very far.

Graphical representation of genders across all versions of TAR:



BLUE: Male/Male
PURPLE: Male/Female
PINK: Female/Female

Note, does not include the in-progress 4th season of TAR Israel
TARVN 1 has 5 M/M teams and no one eliminated until F6, but TARVN also held the record for longest leg span without M/M team won (23 legs) or even podium finishing (22 legs)

Interesting to see :)

Just a couple of corrections Pi :) Freddy & Kendra, Flo & Zach and Reichen & Chip only won two legs :) Tyler & James technically only won 4/12 legs as well.

The record of No M/F win in a season having Final 9 NEL has been broken by TAR26 as the last single sex team were eliminated in 8th already.

Previously :
TAR 9 > M/M
TAR 17 > F/F
TAR 18 > F/F
TAR 22 > M/M

Question:

What city has been featured the most in US TAR.  (and I mean international, because LAX is the obvious answer :P )
The city need to have at least a clubox, a ARI or a task to count.

They tend to scuttle around London (3/7/22/25 had actual RIs or tasks and 17/24 had teams pick up cars at Heathrow) and Munich (3/9/14/26 had tasks or Pit Stop, 20 had teams drop their cars off) as well.

I can only think of 4 right now...
TAR US Original Theme
TAR US 14-22 Theme
TAR US 23-26 Theme
TAR Israel Theme

What are the others?  ???
You are the last team to arrive.

Note: I'm not including TAR1 as a separate theme because it's the same music but with Phil talking.

There is indeed the Original Theme, the new theme, the newer theme, and the one for TAR Israel.

TAR China (Jisu Qianjin - Shenzhen) also used its own, totally unique theme song. It sounds nothing like the traditional TAR song. Those are the five.

The original theme was also modified for a couple early seasons. TAR3, 4 and maybe 5 had the theme slightly extended due to there being more teams to show off. Also, TAR10 repeated the last 12 notes of the song, again because more teams.

Steve & Allie of TAR 16 came in 6th.
Aly & Steve of TAR 26, 10 seasons later, came in 6th.

Do not go on the Race if your names are Aly/Allie and Steve! (and Amanda/Chris/Kris)
