Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
elthemagnifico:
So far (exclude s29) there's no season that have 2 of final 3 teams yet win the leg before the finale... (CMIIW or if missed one or some)
So based that fact... the teams that win the leg before the finale have 66.67% while the rest have 33.33% chance to get into final leg... so hypothetically if you race and win a leg, your probability to get into final leg will high rather you never win any leg
(let's say it's just a probability based on this phenomenon, sure there are many factor that will approve or deny this hypothesis; also i counted this probability based on 3 teams that get into the final on every season, not all the teams, and per season, but if i miss the fact or my hypothesis is wrong, your arguments are welcomed)

Also this was the shortest seasons to be done in particular season ( 6 seasons)

Sorry, I don't understand this. I don't mean to insult your English, I would just like to know what is this fact/record you are talking about. ;)

They checked in 5th out of 6 teams in leg 8.

They LEFT in worst.

Just compare their last 3 placements with JVJ and DaveMary, you'll see what I mean. :P
G.B.:
Marionete, they are referring to the number of seasons between the original task and the Switchback task. Cheese hill in 14 was revisited in 22, and that's a difference of only 8 seasons. Meanwhile, going to Batoka Gorge in 1, and then revisited in 27, that's a difference of 26 seasons. Much larger.

^^ this, and also The Cheese Hill task in S14 was the youngest task that would be a switchback...
Note to myself: Practice English well :lol:

Your English is amazing considering that our language is super tough, we have the infamous silent K and rules that don't comply with everything
