TAR 1 Frank and Margarita are from New York and got 2nd
TAR 2 Tara and Will are from San Francisco and got 2nd
TAR 19 Amani and Marcus are from Atlanta and got 3rd
TAR Aus 1 Sam and Ranae are from Perth and got 2nd
Tell me if I'm wrong on any of these and if you have others

Justin and Diana for s27 ? I'm unsure. They placed 2nd in New York.

Josh & Brent lived in NY sometime ago before the race, i think.
RaceUntilWeDie:
Going to need someone to check this: is Season 30 the first season since Season 17 to have only 2 double legs?

That is really false. Season 28 did have 2 double legs (Colombia and Indonesia), while leg 4 happened in Switzerland, but ended in France as technically did not count France as a double leg of that season.

Everyone keeps saying that, but what about Leg 7 (The Partner Swap)?
--- End quote ---
We can say they are the first team to place all legs of the race on the TOP 3 because in the Partner Swap, they were not the team. Jen and Kristi were in two different teams.
