Here's a question: What is the farthest a nth place team got? (Ex. The farthest a 1st place team - and 2nd/3rd place too - is Leg 13, while a 4th place team made it to Leg 12.)

I do have a way for you to determine that information as part of my ranking of all teams by average leg placement, which I am planning to post over here after the 15th's finale airs this weekend. That list also lets you see who had the best (or worse) first place or last place performance (after the first elimination).

Oh, yes, please do post that! I remember when Wikipedia had a list of top average placings (before they got super-strict about everything). If I recall, either Eric & Jeremy or Colin & Christie were on top of the board.

Counting TBCs as one continuous leg:
12th: Leg 1, obv.
11th: Leg 2 (Tramel/Talicia, Amanda/Chris, Garrett/Jessica)
10th: Leg 3 (Dennis/Andrew, Russell/Cindy, Marcy/Ron)
9th: Leg 4 (Heather/Eve, Steve/Josh, Zev/Justin)
8th: Leg 5 (Michael/Kathy, Steve/Dave, Don/Mary Jean, Lance/Keri)
7th: Leg 6 (Aaron/Arianne, Monica/Sheree, Marshall/Lance, Gus/Hera, Ray/Deana, Peter/Sarah, Teri/Ian, Christie/Jodi, Mika/Canaan)
6th: Leg 8 (Jonathan/Victoria, David/Mary, Joe/Bill)
5th: Leg 10 (John Vito/Jill, Kami/Karli)
4th: Leg 12 (Linda/Karen, Oswald/Danny)
3rd-1st: Leg 13, obv.

That listing is a little bit deceiving as the number of teams (11 or 12) and the number of legs (11, 12, or 12) don't vary in the same way over the different cycles of the Race. Then there's the TBC (or uberlegs). As I said, I'll have a long list to post, ranking all of the teams from 1 through 15 by average placement. You will be surprised by which team has the best 4th place finish, or the worst 1st place finish, and which teams finished better than the worse-performing final three team.
For the record, Eric/Jeremy have the best placement average in the history of TAR (1.75). Meghan and Cheyne cannot best that performance no matter how they finish the final leg of 15. And this is what make E/J's second place finish such a shock. Those two really did dominate their season.
