Also about switchback, the most recent seasons that revisited in respective season was S14 (carryinh cheese ARI in Switzerland) that was revisited in S22 ( altough in that season (S22), teams carried the cheese on Snowy hill instead on grassy hill)... Also this was the shortest seasons to be done in particular season ( 6 seasons)

--- Quote from: NMC on April 07, 2017, 09:28:44 AM ---I may be wrong, as I haven't researched this :lol: But after last nights episode, S29 Leg 2, a new record has been broken.
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.

I do not count the FF for this as any team can go from Worst to First using that, and it's not really a test of Race skill to achieve such a feat by using a FF.

If your talking about S29, then the teams weren't all bunched on the same flight - There were 6 different flights to Sao Paulo.

So THAT'S where Hoskote was from! I think he was South American...
