Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
Genius:
Now that I have finished TAR China 2, I am adding more to the list.
14. There's technically a team that placed in the top 3 for 100% of the leg(s) they appeared in. The honor goes to Kim Jong-kook and Lee Kwang-soo of TAR China 2.
They were one of the teams that was selected to intrude on the penultimate leg (Leg 9). They finished 2nd on the only leg that they appear in. However, the requirement to make it to the final leg was to finish 1st. As such, they also have the dubious honor of being the only team to finish in the top 2 of a leg and to still be eliminated.
15. Adding on to point #14, the beneficiary of the above requirement means that Wu Xi and Han Geng, who finished last that leg, continued on to the final 3. I guess this is possibly the first time a team finishes last on a final 4 elimination leg and still make it through to the final 3.
16. TAR China 2 is the first season to have 5 consecutive legs without a detour. There were also 3 legs with a roadblock (not sure if this is a record).
Genius:
There have been several teams that could have finished in the top 3 for the entire race, save for that 1 leg which prevented them from claiming that clean sheet.
From what I have watched so far...
Eric and Jeremy (TAR 9 - finished 4th once)
Tammy and Victor (TAR14 - finished 8th once)
Miriam and Real (TAR China 2 - finished 4th once)
Marsh and Harry (TAR China 2 - finished 1st on Leg 7 and then 4th on Leg 8)
Kristi and Jen (TAR30 - debatable, they finished 5th in the partner swap leg)
Genius:
Triple post.
Angel Li and Li Xiaopeng (TAR China 1), I suppose, are the only team (besides Marc and Rovilson) to have placed in the top 3 in every leg. Happy to have them as my season pick (though they didn't win). :cheer:

Technically, Kristi & Jen did it in TAR30 (the only leg they didn’t finish in top 3, the two never raced together as a team)
Lemontail:
To this date, there has not been (nor probably will) any team in any franchise to rack up more penalties in hours than Nancy & Emily, whom had a 24-hour penalty for quitting the Detour in their last leg.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
