Season 28 was the first season of the American version where none of the first 5 teams eliminated ever finished in the top 3 placings of a leg. The previous record was Season 20, with he first 4 eliminated teams not placing in the top 3 of a leg.

Double legs distribution by types of season
Season 4n 8 (x2), 28
Season 4n+1 9, 25
Season 4n+2 6, 10, 14, 18 (x2), 22, 26
Season 4n+3 7, 19, 23, 27 (x2)
Since the introduction of double legs in leg 6 for avoiding a Hungary's begging law, for every singly even numbered season, they always have double leg(s) in their respective seasons
Singly even number is number which is divisible by two but not by four

I thought toanglobal was talking about KOR legs, but I'm just really confused by his listing in general..

Reichen and Chip won Season 4 on Valentine's Day, and the final task was a riddle that involved the numerals of Valentine's Day.

I've been trying to figure out the whole 'n' thing and it's really making me mad

^ lol me too.

I mean I get that 'n' is a variable (that's probably what Platrium meant instead of integer), but why are seasons listed in that way by using multiples of 4?? What's distinct about each group?

Seasons with numbered which remain two or three when divided by four usually have (a) double leg(s), there is one of the very interesting facts
This figure is only adopted for American version only!

The team who holds the record for having the express pass at the shortest time is Caroline & Jennifer from TAR24. Caroline was given the express pass by Jet & Cord after begging for it.

Her team used it to bypass the Leg 2 roadblock (assembling a toy car

) after Jennifer struggled and right after begging it from the Cowboys.

i think this is the first timw we won't see any fast forward winner in 3 seasons row

26: unavailable
27: Justin/Diana took it but the weather wasn't fine
28: unavailable

it's sucks considering early four seasons of TAR had FF in every single leg (except penultimate and final leg), and now FF is just vanished from earth

Platrium · « **Reply #665 on:** April 26, 2016, 07:50:49 AM »

In TAR Australia, all 3 seasons are won by MM teams.

No wonder my all-star wishlist for the franchise barely has MM teams.

ianthebalance · « **Reply #666 on:** April 26, 2016, 10:28:13 AM »

All TAR Canada winners have been MM also. Funny how that works.

Platrium · « **Reply #667 on:** April 27, 2016, 07:00:12 AM »

In TAR21 Leg 8, any of the teams could survive a 24-hour penalty, because of James & Abba's passport issue. However, if the 1st placed team that leg received a 24-hour penalty, they would be able to check in before Josh & Brent. Josh & Brent were 25 hours behind the 1st team iirc.

The following teams joined the club of "have finished in 8 different positions throughout a race" :

Amy & Maya (S25) has finished in the position from 1st to 8th
Matt & Ashely (S26) has finished in the position from 1st to 2nd, 4th through 9th

cbacbacba1 · « **Reply #669 on:** April 29, 2016, 08:47:58 PM »

After Leg 10 of season 28

Burnie & Ashely (S28) alongside Kelsey & Joey (S27) are the only two teams to have 5 consecutive second place finishes

Brodie & Kurt (S28) now holds the record for having the highest average placing for 5th placers (2.6), previously held by Abbie & Ryan (S21) (Similarly both are eliminated by u-turn plan of other teams)

To be more specific:
Both Abbie & Ryan and Brodie & Kurt are eliminated in 5th by the Twinnie U-turn Strategy (TUS, or TUTS

). They have been the only known victims in the US version, and both did not survive the TUS.

Tbh, the TUS is too deadly of a move for someone to survive in. It's worse than being single U-turned.

G.B. · « **Reply #673 on:** May 03, 2016, 02:23:57 PM »

I had always figured that the move was prohibited after Season 21...

Why is it worse? I think it has the same effect right with a single U-turn??

^ Looks like it's still is allowed based on what happened to B&K. There's no reason to prohibit it, I guess? It's just a brutal way to use the W-turn.
