Interesting stuff.  How about: what's the longest time penalty a team waited out at the Pit Stop and still survived? Was it Justin & Diana's 55 minutes in Season 27? Kevin & Jenn's 2-hour penalty in the Season 29 premiere had me wondering about this.

Dave & Rachel waited out two hours in Paraguay for failing to complete the RB.

Oh yeah.
At the same time, Dave & Rachel were the only team who completed nothing in a leg (that leg) and survived.

Aside from TAR27's W-turn right in front of the Pit Stop, there has never yet been a U-turn that was aired on a NEL.

Double U-Turn and you are not being stupid. I had a similar thought when I first saw that notation.

Some other records from TAR 29
F/F teams never finished higher than 9th place in any leg (not count S26 which no F/F teams)
All F/F teams booted after leg 2
Don't forget the first F/F team booted at leg 7 of TAR 22 and leg 8 of TAR 23
And If Pwinnie changed the donkey rather than the detour, they survived leg 7, then Chuck & wynona and Youtube eliminated in leg 8 and leg 10 and we had 3 F/F teams and M/M team as leg 11!

Only two seasons with Leg 1 EL and leg 2 NEL without using salvage pass (TAR Canada 4 and TAR Ukraine 1) both seasons was won by F/F (Steph & Kristen, Valeria & Bohdana)

TAR 29 is the first season since TAR 14 to visit more than two countries within the first three legs :o

I didn't even believe that, so I had to check!
Yup, you're right, and that's really an amazing feat!

The only other seasons are TAR 12, TAR 10, TAR 7, TAR 6 and maaaybe TAR 9 + TAR 1.

Teams have traveled 12,112 miles this season through Leg 3. That’s the largest number of miles teams have traveled in the first three legs of a season since S23 (12,408).

False. The last time with the largest number of miles have traveled was S9 (13,058), not counting midpoint leg of leg 3 of the said season.

I haven't done the math, but by looking at maps, I think that not counting Family Edition, the first three legs of 28 was the least amount of miles traveled in the first three leg of a season.
1. Lower half of USA to Mexico City
2. Mexico City to Cartagena
3. Cartagena

TAR 25-TAR 29 are the second times of five consecutive seasons with Keep on racing legs (previous from TAR 6 to TAR 10) and the third seasons of each period have two KORs (season 8 and 27)

Could you count Jessica and John in this category? Or would it not count due to them being eliminated with the EP?

That wouldn't really count due to their elimination - Kristen & Darren were also eliminated with an EP.

Becca & Floyd are the third team to let their Express Pass expire. The first were Lincoln & Tien Dat from TAR Vietnam 5, and then Steph & Kristen were second only a couple of weeks later. Both teams were simply too strong and never needed to use it.
Come check out the Reality Fan Wiki! The LARGEST Amazing Race database on the internet!!! (probably)

Would we say that Becca and Floyd are strong?

Too early to say.

Honestly, why set an expiry at leg 5? That's too early...

Then again, better than TAR Australia 3 where I think it expired at leg 4...

Yes, that's right. John and Murray gave it to Carla and Hereni at the end of Leg 3 and then the Mums use it at the Roadblock in Leg 4

Teams get to visit 4 continents by leg 5 in S29
The only time that happened was TAR 5

I think you could include 2 and 13 as well?

Also I'm there's a season that disproves this but leg 5 of TAR 29 is the first to have a FF on a keep racing leg.
