A M/M team has not won the first leg since Tyler & James of Season 10.
A F/F team has not won the first leg since the Godlewski Family of Season 8. (Debbie & Bianca of Season 7 if excluding Family Edition).

Both the Gusty Grannies from season 2 and several of the teams on All Stars in a delay plagued travel in Africa may have equaled or exceeded the former NFL players.

Soo was this past episode (TAR 23 Leg 6) the first time a FF went unused since TAR 14?

Lol excluding international versions. There are too many versions these days for me to double-check their facts too :lol:

That fast forward in leg 6 also appears to be the first "weather dependent" FF ever; at least I can't think of any other FF with that condition included.

Something tells me TAR7's suspension bridge, TAR8's drydock bungee, TAR10's Oil well fire, TAR11's driving stunt, TAR13's tower climb and TAR16's Ferris Wheel cross would be subject to closure due to rain or wind.

They did do the world's highest skyjump (at that time) in Macau during All-Stars while it was really windy.

Well, that's a controlled descent (with a ring of wires around the tower) as opposed to just a bungee jump.

Dave and Rachel  (TAR20) performed the fewest tasks in completing one leg in Paraguay: 0 (unless you count going down a slide as a task in which case they would be on par with every team that has ever taken a fast forward)

*Disclaimer: I haven't verified this* but I propose that Nicky and Kim (current season: 23) performed the most tasks in completing one leg: UAE2 = 6
1. coin riddle
2. dune buggies
3. & 4. both sides of the detour : dress camel, prepare food
5. wave pool speed bump
6. rapids roadblock
For this I classify one complete leg as being from pit start to pit stop (even if it is fake, virtual, whatever). I think the only contention would come from the double leg in season 6; in that case they are the F/F team that has completed the most tasks in one leg or the team in the current racing era, i.e. since the introduction of the u-turn i guess...

I think it's a pretty neat record, contradict me if you can!

Ally & Ashley are the only team to place 5th overall without ever placing higher than 5th :lol:

I'm assuming they're also the only 5th place team to only arrive in 3 unique positions? 7th, 6th, and 5th.
