Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!

Joab,
I would love to dissect the Antananarivo FAST FORWARD. It was also an INTERSECTION, which was a hindrance for the teams in that state and doing "Eat Cows Lips". They apparently were pretty nauseous to eat and doubtless several out of James, Tyler, rob and Kimberly took a long time to do so. They then had to get by taxi to the Cathedral Andohalo. For the regular tasks, the DETOUR of carrying mattresses was not hard for Dustin, Kandice, Erwin and Godwin. Getting a taxi for 4 miles to underneath the pit stop point Andohalo Cathedral, the ROADBLOCK of finding the correct transportation stamps, getting the next clue and climbing the steps all appeared quite easy and not time-consuming.
I attribute the issue to be the mixing of the INTERSECTION with the FAST FORWARD. This leg should have been designed to have a "normal" outcome with a FAST FORWARD team winning, but it was mis-designed by having the DETOUR and ROADBLOCK just too easy and quick to complete.

Here's a TAR 17 fact for y'all!
10/12 legs were won by the final 3.
Nat/Kat- Legs 4,5,7,10,12
Brook/Claire- Leg 2
Jill/Thomas- Legs 1,6,9,11
Now, the other two winners of legs are Connor/Jonathon & Chad/Stephanie. For both of those teams, the leg after the leg they won, (legs 3 & 8, respectively), they were eliminated the leg after. Jonathon screwed up the Detour, and Chad & Stephanie were too cocky from their win & in love to find an earlier flight. I just rewatched TAR 17, and I noticed that.

Indonesia is the first (and only yet) country to eliminate 3 teams in one season.

That's an interesting one! I had a quick look at the other seasons, and the Final 3 with the most leg wins was S5 with 12. The ones with the least were S8, S10 and S18 with only 6!
