Shanghai Rush had a special comeback episode to call back a eliminated team (Alice & Richard) into the race, which could be seen as a super-Fast-Forward. This team won in the finale, so the spell you mentioned have been broken. :lol:

I'm talking about The Amazing Race, not Shanghai Rush.. :res: :lol:
I don't see Shanghai Rush as an official TAR version because of the random rules that was in placed in the season.
And not to mention that I despise shows based loosely on TAR and not giving MUCH credit to it.

The odd thing is that out of the three teams that have won the most legs in a season on TAR (Nick and Starr, Meghan and Cheyne, Eric and Jeremy) two of them did not win leg 3 and won the race while the other won leg 3 but not the race.

Don't forget about Colin & Christie and Marc & Rovilson. Six wins and eight wins, each winning leg three.

A bit of a curse in TAR18:
Kisha and Jen won 1 leg and came in 1st
Flight Time and Big Easy won 2 legs and came in 2nd
Gary and Mallory won 3 legs and came in 3rd
Zev and Justin won 4 legs and came in 4th
Prophet:
That's an interesting observation. I wonder if that has happened in other seasons. ???
Dom:
Here are some fun facts for you all!
The winningest teams that didn't make it to the end are Zev & Justin (S18), Hayden & Aaron (S6) and Derek & Drew (S3) with 4 wins each.
The only teams to win three legs and not finish in the top 4 are Rob & Amber (8th, S11) and Azaria & Hendekea (6th, S12)
No team finishing 5th, 7th or 10th in the first leg has ever won the race, so bad news for Amani & Marcus, Andy & Tommy and Liz & Marie!
In TEN of the eighteen seasons so far, a team that won Leg 8 has finished fourth overall. That's over half the time!
3 teams that won Leg 8 have won the million. 6 teams that came 2nd in leg 8 have won the million.
Of all the winners of Leg 3, only 5 of them have made the final three (and all 5 of them came second).
Teams that finished fifth in Leg 1, 3 or 5 have never won.
Eric & Jeremy (S9) have the most 2nd places (6).
Three teams have finished in the same position 7 times in a race: Nick & Starr (S13, 1sts), Megan & Cheyne (S15, 1sts) and Rob & Kimberley (S10, 3rds).
Rob & Kimberley (S10) hold the record for the most consecutive same place finishes (3rd) with six. Eight teams have had four consecutive same place finishes.
Andrew & Dan (S13) hold the record for most consecutive legs without dropping a place: 9. Their streak went: 8th, 7th, 6th, 6th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 4th, 2nd before finishing in 3rd. Meredith & Gretchen (S7) are second with a streak of 8. They went 7th, 7th, 7th, 7th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 2nd before finishing 4th.
Joe & Bill and Rob & Kimberley share the dubious honour of most consecutive legs without improving: 7. J&B (S3) went 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 4th, 4th. R&K (S10) went 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd.
