Did you ever notice the BIGGEST SPELL in TAR? *Spoilers Contained*

<< < (14/28) > >>

Dom:
Here's another interesting one. There are six main groups of racers: Dating, Married, Siblings, Parent/Child, Friends & Colleagues (though the line between those last two is a little blurry).

According to my calculations, these are the average placings depending on their relationship (the number in brackets is the number of teams):

Siblings (24): 4.68
Dating (41): 5.20
Colleagues (16): 5.24
Parent/Child (22): 5.63
Friends (42): 6.13
Married (30): 6.58

So if you know you're gonna be on the race, you might want to consider holding off the marriage proposal until after!

And even though most colleagues are friends as well, it shows that it pays to know each other in a working environment as well. But competitive siblings perform the best of all!

Prophet:
Interesting stuff, Dom! Where do engaged teams fit in?

Dom:
Good question! But not counting Chad & Stephanie, there have only been 6 Engaged teams on the Race, with an average placing of 4.77, performing better than both Dating & Married!

David:
If a team is my favourite, it won't win the race unless we're talking about an F/F from season 17 onwards. :lol:

Dom:
Here's another:

4 different teams have finished in 8 different positions throughout a race:
Teri & Ian who (S3) finished in positions 1st through 6th and 9th and 10th.
Kelly & Jon (S4) who finished in positions 1st through 8th
Kisha & Jen (S14) who finished in positions 1st through 8th
Nick & Vicki (S17) who finished in positions 2nd through 8th and 10th
