~TAR2, TAR4, and TAR10 are the only seasons to have penultimate legs in Australia and Oceania.


I think you mean 11? In Guam?

But it's amazing work! I like it. I'm quite shocked that only 18 and 26 had late south America leg. And they should do late Africa leg more.

Also, LOL at 106 legs in Asia but still manage to not visit lots of country. (Maldives,Brunei,Laos,Burma,Georgia,Armenia,etc.)  :(

I expected something wrong even with tens and thousands of edits. :lol: Thank you! I will correct that. :)

So I think Tyler (TAR 26) is now the recipient for Most Title Quotes - 5? Previous record was Brook (TAR 17) (feel like I'm missing someone). Laura said 1 quote as well so they as a team have 6 title quotes the entire season.

Asia: TAR14 had 8 legs straight around Asia.
Doesn't TAR count Russia as a part of Europe?
Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.

They probably do, but we usually go by the more basic definition of the six continents, with Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk being in Asia.

As of TAR26 Leg 11, the TAR franchise has visited approximately 1300 cities from around the world.

(I bring this up because my personal records have just hit the 1300 mark, which is by no means an exact science)

Flo (season 3) , Gretchen (season 7) , Tyler (season 26) all have 5

Oswald (season 11) and Brook (season 17) come close with 4 each

TAR26

- First time: 7 consecutive legs with 7 different winners (Leg 2 to 8 )
- First time (I think): All teams that came in last on a NEL were eliminated the next leg
- First time (definitely): A team missing a train because they decided to take one more selfie  :funny:
- First time: A team (Jenny and Jelani) finished 1st in the first 2 legs and finished the race without winning any more legs  :'(

I think 14 fit this too. And 23, if not count the TBC in leg 4. :)

Tyler and laura are the first blind date team to win the amazing race.
Season 26 is the first season to have 3 blind date teams in the top 3.

What do you mean "pointless?" When all of the NEL'd teams were eliminated the following leg? cuz that was done in TAR 14

Bergen & Kurt are the first team ever to abandon a car that isn't because of something being wrong with it (the car being a stick shift doesn't count), unless if I'm forgetting a team.

If your name is Tyler, you will win the race.

Four out of Four Tylers have won the grand prize.

The last 4 seasons had the EP used on the 8th Leg. Coincidentally, those EPs were all used on detours.

HaMerotz LaMillion and TAR Aus both had route markers or tasks on the Palestine side of Jerusalem.
