Bates is the first person to complete a task involving running up and down multiple stairs while wearing his backpack  :lol3: I kept on waiting for him to drop it, but he just kept it on for some reason

TAR 5 is the only season where the eliminated teams did not begin the leg in last place in their respective elimination legs.

TAR 14 is the only season in which none of the [NEL'd] teams survived a NEL.
Though there were only two NEL's..

During this season for the first time the teams that placed in the top 3 in the first leg again placed in the top 3 for the second and third leg of the race and on each placed 1st,2nd and 3rd during those 3 legs

I'm pretty sure Nick & Vicki still barely take the lead. At least JoJe know what country London is in or not telling a Ghanaian taxi driver to drive to the Arctic Circle... or I hope so. :lol:

I loved those guys  :hrt: But honestly most of their struggles involved the taxi driver not knowing where that bridge was so I don't think any stupidity they might have had really would have made a big difference

Could people *not* post about the current season in the discussion forum? You've just spoiled what sounds like a major race moment for me so thanks a lot...

I don't get what "spoilers" we are posting?

Dave & Connor - first team to arrive first at the Pit Stop and get eliminated. (I'm not talking like Heather & Eve or Zev & Justin.. they came "first" and were.. eliminated :lol:)

I haven't figured out how I'm going to treat Dave-Connor's withdrawal in the team rankings as far as computing an average placement.

In the past, when a team did withdraw or were given an elimination out on the Race course, that team was the last team that checked in or hadn't yet checked in, and one could treat them as being last on the leg. That wasn't the case here, and it is arkward to decide what to do. However, they do end up being the 4th team to be eliminated (thus being in 8th place overall).

Haven't had a problem like this in years.......

With my lists I treated it as coming in eighth on that leg. If another team had been eliminated at the pitstop, that might have complicated things, but as it is now I think it's best to just keep it simple.

In Season 21, the team who placed 2nd in the first leg were eventually the 2nd team to be eliminated, the team who placed 3rd in the first leg were eventually the 3rd team to eliminated. That's not all - the team who placed 2nd-to-last in the first leg placed 2nd overall, and the team who placed 3rd-to-last in the first leg placed 3rd overall. :lol:

There have been 65 NEL's through the past 21 seasons (this excludes all fake Pit Stops in which the "leg was not over;" however it does include the legs with no rest period beginning in TAR 18).

0 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 12 teams remaining.
3 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 11 teams remaining (15, 18, 19).
0 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 10 teams remaining.
2 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 9 teams remaining (17, 18).
4 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 8 teams remaining (6, 16, 19, 20).
8 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 7 teams remaining (5, 7, 10, 11, 14, 17, 19, 21).
11 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 6 teams remaining (1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 21).
14 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 5 teams remaining (1, 2, 3[x2], 4, 5[x2], 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20).
17 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 4 teams remaining (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11[x2], 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 21).
6 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 3 teams remaining (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9).

Digging deeper into the NEL's..

Out of the 3 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 11 teams remaining, 3/3 were survived.
Out of the 2 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 9 teams remaining, 2/2 were survived.
Out of the 4 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 8 teams remaining, 2/4 were survived (16, 20).
Out of the 8 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 7 teams remaining, 6/7 were survived (all except 14).
Out of the 11 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 6 teams remaining, 6/11 were survived (2, 6, 8, 13, 16, 18).
Out of the 14 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 5 teams remaining, 8/14 were survived (2, 3[x2], 4, 5[x2], 8, 9)
-Interestingly, no team has survived a 5th place NEL since Season 9's BJ & Tyler.
Out of the 17 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 4 teams remaining, 11/17 were survived (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11[x1], 12, 13, 15).
Out of the 6 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 3 teams remaining, 3/6 have eventually won the Race. (2, 3, 7).
