Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!

G.B.:
This is actually FALSE, and I recently corrected this on Wikipedia. It's actually my fault that this information was out there in the first place. I had misread a post from Rob Frisbee on the old Survivor Sucks forum, as he was detailing the unaired FF's of Season 1. The one in Rome had teams looking for a specific location where they could SEE the entirety of the Vatican City through a hole in a wall, which is the "Roseta di Roma Capitale". They were never actually required to set foot on the grounds of the Holy See.

Seasons 26 and 27 are the only U.S. seasons that visited at least 5 continents to be back-to-back.

5+ Continents: 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26, 27, 29

What do you mean???

G.B.:
They mean that if a season visits 5 or more continents, then the next season will only visit four or three (or one). Season 27 is the only one to break this trend.

Facts: --> TAR 11 & TAR 17 are the only 2 seasons in which a FF has won the most no. of legs.
          --> TAR 17,18 & 25 are the only seasons in which a FF has won, and out of these 3 only Nat and Kat have won 4 legs prior to the
                finale, whereas Kisha and Jen and Amy and Maya have not won a single leg prior to the finale.
          --> The most number of legs won in a season are 8, a record held by Dave and Rachel. It is at par with Nick and Starr as they won
                7 legs out the 11, whereas Dave and Rachel won 8 legs out of the 12. The least number of legs won to still top in a season is 3.
          --> The probability of you being a winner of a season and also winning the most legs is 2/5
          --> The probability of you being a FF and also winning the most legs is 2/29 The probability of you being a MM and also winning the
                most legs is 14/29. (excluded family edition)
          --> Tara was the first woman to have won the most number of legs. After her, Christie, Kris, Amber, Beth Bransen, Lauren Bransen
                and Lindsay Bransen were the only women until Dustin and Kandice became the first FF to win the most number of legs.
          --> Most teams who win the most number of legs usually end up in 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The only exception is Azaria and Hendekea
                who placed 6th.

I'm pretty sure someone has already done this but, here's a list of teams from every season who has won most number of legs.
