Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
Theo:
Natalie & Nadiya is the first Express Pass winner that didn't make it to Final 3. (in US version)
Now that we have two Express Passes, that "feat" should be broken soon.

Two immediate observations now that I've added season 21 to the team rankings threads.
Josh and Brent now hold the highest-value average placement of any winning team taking that designation from season 16's Jordan and Daniel.
Abbey and Ryan have the best average placement of any fifth place team, ever, they averaged better than most final three teams, and finished with a better average placement than the teams that finished in first through fourth place in their season.
I'm sure there are others, but that's a start,

There could have been a 2nd occasion, if a team had elected to use the FF in Leg 6 of TAR 1. That team would have exited from Italy, entered the Vatican and re-entered Italy.
The only time in TAR US (which I can think of) that teams left and re-entered 2 continents twice was in TAR 6. Teams first arrived in Europe, then went to Africa, then back to Europe and back to Africa, before heading to Asia.

The above statement is true, but in AR3 teams went from Europe to Africa and back to Europe before moving on to Asia; this is not quite as impressive as AR6.

TAR 1 also had an instance on the second leg where one of the detour options was in Botswana, and teams that would have chosen that detour would have returned to Zambia after the task. However, the ten teams on the leg all chose the other detour option, which took place in Zambia. After the detour teams then flew back to South Africa and then found flights to Paris, France.
RachelLeVega:
The earliest enter-leave-enter chance in TAR1, episode 2 looked a little farfetched even if you put 100 people in that situation, but I would have loved to see at least one team choosing that "Far" safari option.
(RANDOM THOUGHT: If money weren't a factor, I really want to trace the very first and partially second leg personally by actually traveling to Zambia. Victoria Falls (Knife's Edge & Boiling Pot)... Batoka "George" :lol:... Songwe and Mukuni Village... WHITEWATER RAFTING!... and definitely the safari sightseeing...) :luvu:
