The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race Discussion
Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
Steel of Scandinavia:
In the U.S. version of the Amazing Race the only letters we haven't seen as the first letter in someone's first name is Q and X.
Uchenna (of Uchenna & Joyce) is the only contestant to have a name starting with U, while Yolanda (of Ray & Yolanda) is the only one to have a name starting with Y.
The remaining letters all appear in multiple people's first names.

To answer my own post, the penultimate legs of TAR 7 & 25 are the only other legs to have this distinction.
TAR 7 Leg 11 (12 if the double leg counts as two):
Uchenna & Joyce were 3rd and last on the leg, ended up 1st
Rob & Amber were 2nd on the leg, ended up 2nd
Ron & Kelly were 1st on the leg, ended up 3rd.
TAR 25 Leg 11:
Amy & Maya were 4th and last on the leg, ended up 1st
Misti & Jim were 3rd on the leg, ended up 2nd
Adam & Bethany were 2nd on the leg, ended up 3rd
Brooke & Robbie were 1st on the leg, ended up 4th (and eliminated mid-way through the final leg)

That's a result flip between consecutive legs, but I was looking at result flips from one leg to the final results.
