Wikipedia ignored it entirely and just kept doing what it had been doing.

I'm actually pretty sure that the producers (or who ever counted the legs), if they gave a damn, just averaged the three probably ways of counting legs.
All Double-Length legs are 1 leg: 297th
All DL legs are 2 legs: 304th
Only DL legs with pit-stop midpoint are 2 legs: 301st
Average: 300.67
So either the Sicily leg or the Malta leg was 300th, then they chose one and stuck to it.
OR they they were using the third counting method, but miscounted. After they showed Joey & Meghan was from Season 18, anything is possible.

That one mistake was in TAR 24. Probably TAR producers made sure to not make more mistakes in TAR 25. But then, anything can happen.
I count the both double-length legs in TAR 8 as two legs per Phil's narration and technicalities behind it. Ditto with TAR 9.
I really don't care though either way.

Yes, my record-breaking faves! :cheer:
They also have 23 consecutive legs in the top 4 (a record too), but it is not something that people will care about.
Also, Christie has the dubious honor where she has never managed to win a leg whenever she completes a roadblock. :lol: It's a smart move to let Colin do the final roadblock.
G.B.:
Every nation visited in Season 31 has Red in their national flag. This also happened on Season 23, which also featured Leo & Jamal.
