U.S. FACT
If your name starts with a G, H, I, L, O, P, W, X, or Y, your team will NOT win the Race.

Kisha's real name is LaKisha

Well, then your 'nickname'...

Technically, Linz is still a team name.

It's the last name of the team members. That would mean I would have to go back and look at the last names of each winner, which is really unnecessary.

If you come in last on a non-elimination leg with 11, 9, or 8 teams remaining, your team will not win the Race.

A F/F team came in last on Leg 9 in TAR 22 (Mona & Beth), 23 (Ally & Ashley), 24 (Caroline & Jennifer), and 25 (Kym & Alli

). Obviously, this can't occur in TAR 26 because there are no F/F teams

I thought Saida & Jervi (Philippines 1) was an MF team?

... Okay. In my defense, transgender is a tricky thing to classify in a male/female dichotomy, even in technical sense. I just assumed she's male because of the tuxedo she got from the casino task on the first leg.

Trang Tran & Hieu Nguyen (of TARVN 3) is one of the very few teams who never checked-in at pitstop or finish line at either first or last place

Did you know out of the 25 regular seasons (excluding TAR8 and including TAR26), 4 seasons only visited 3 continents, 10 seasons visited 4 continents, 9 seasons visited 5 continents and only 2 visited 6 continents,

Oh, I knew this, but the placements of M/M teams on TARLA is kind of ridiculous. I don't know if that is just poor casting on F/F and F/M teams or the extremely physical tasks. As expected TARLA1 looks the most balanced.

1. Auckland (Leg 4)- climb the needle of the Auckland Sky Tower (Won by Ken & Tina)
2. Almaty (Leg 8 )- eat a traditional Kazakh dish with meat from unsatisfactory locations on a sheep (won by Nick & Starr)
there were only two

South Korea only had 1, but good job otherwise!

Just because you do good on Leg 1 doesn't mean you'll have success in the rest of the race. The team that got first's overall placing:
S1: 1st
S2: 2nd
S3: 3rd
S4: 11th/9th/5th (3 way tie)
S5: 10th
S6: 4th
S7: 9th
S8: 4th
S9: 2nd
S10: 1st
S11: 8th
S12: 6th
S13: 1st
S14: 3rd
S15: 1st
S16: 7th
S17: 3rd
S18: 3rd
S19: 1st
S20: 1st
S21: 5th
S22: 9th
S23: 2nd
S24: 5th
S25: 2nd

Average: 4.37

TARloveit · « **Reply #469 on:** February 23, 2015, 02:45:51 PM »

If the average is 4.37, wouldn't that mean that the team who won leg 1 usually ends up in the final four? Is that not good?

Yeah, but getting first on leg 1 ≠ having success for the entire race. Just ask Alison & Donny

Mike & Rochelle and Jeff & Lyda are the first two teams to ever use a U-Turn on the first leg of the Race, if that counts for something.

I'm curious now as to what international version had the Leg 1 U-Turn
