Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
RaceUntilWeDie:
So far, 3 teams in Season 29 did not complete all tasks in their respective elimination legs.
Kevin & Jenn - did not properly complete the Detour
Shamir & Sara - did not complete the Roadblock
Becca & Floyd - did not complete the Route Info task
I don't know if that's the most times that's happened in one season--let me know!
Also, Phil had to eliminate a team on the Race course twice in Season 29. Is that the first time that's happened?
TARUSAFan:
The US Version has casted 2 Indian-American teams, Vipul & Arti (S.10) and Hoskote & Naina (S.23). Coincidentally both came in 11th Place.

Mike & Liz made the biggest improvement in placements over one Leg. Leg 1 - 10th, Leg 2 - 1st. This gives them a 9 Team jump. :hoot:
They beat the old record, held by Justin & Diana in S27, who had an 8 Team jump: Leg 1 - 9th, Leg 2 - 1st.

They are also the first ever team to arrive 11th on the 1st leg (checking in at 10th) then finish 1st on the following leg.

Wrong on both accounts, unless you don't count Fast Forward runs. Derek & Drew were 11th on the first leg in season 3 (12 teams that season, so they survived), they did the Fast Forward on the second leg and ended up in 1st. They jumped 10 teams.
elthemagnifico:
∆∆ if the FF was included, then Derek and Drew would still holf the record, but what make special from Mike and Liz was they difn't need FF to win the leg, altough, all teams had bunched up and got the same flight to Sao Paolo
Meanwhile, bike basket in Ninh Binh (switchback of S3) tied with Bungee jumping at Batoka River (switchback of S1) in S27 as the longest Siwtchback that was done after seasons... (both was done after 26 seasons), but if you count the leg, Batoka River may still stand the record... (Batoka was visited at very first leg, while the Bike basket was done on 11 th leg )
