I always loved reading the facts and figures in Wikipedia before, but that page got deleted for some weird reason. Nice job for bringing some of them back! :tup:
I love this too, Dom El! It seems you really love researching! :D
I think each of the users who is willing to, could share other statistics or interesting facts that may not have been mentioned in any thread yet, or that we have been courious about, maybe? That way we could make a great thread full of interesting things about the race that can be important some times.
I checked that 5th, 7th, and 10th on the 1st leg theory by looking at other versions. I think it's a coincidence on the American version because this system does not work on TAR Asia at all. Jeremy and Sandy and Amani and Marcus have an equal chance of winning, IMO.

Ah but I personally only consider TAR US to be 'canon'! If I got permission, and paid enough money, I could televise my own Amazing Race and it wouldn't have any connection to the original besides the same branding!
True, it is the "canon" version, but the greatest spell of all (the third leg curse) works across all versions. ;)
Then there's no doubt that Jeremy & Sandy will win the race of S19.

Ernie & Cindy got EP, which promises them to get into the Final 3 with no opportunity to win.
Amani & Marcus were the 5th in Leg 1, and Andy & Tommy the 7th.
I've always thought that was interesting too. The finale is just a leg like any other one, your previous performance counts for nothing. All that it comes down to is whatever happens on that one day.

Get Real! Those past events have no impact on what happened when AR19 unless you can prove some causality (which nobody can). I'm with Prophet. There is an equal chance of each team that makes the final 3 winning. Are you trying to run an Astrology exercise here?
Also, how do you know that Andy/Tommy are even going to make the final 3? I think they will be displaced by Ernie/Cindy.
At some point, I plan to also publish my compilation of each season's leg-by-leg finish order (including the uber-leg midpoints) that I use in computing the final placement averages for all the teams in all seasons list. (Wikipedia has never kept midpoint arrival order for the uberlegs.)
I'm well aware of some of those odd facts in the performance of teams.

All uber-leg midpoints are seen already at Wikipedia now, though. I believe I started seeing Wikipedia adding race positions during midpoints at the time of Season 18 (maybe to settle the technicalities for the special TBC of Season 18, they added all race placements)
Highest average without a leg won- Sean & Amy's (6th) 2.83 vs. Terrence & Sarah's (5th) 3.25
Many curses are inexplicable in terms of probabilities.
For example, the Leg 3 curse. Given that each team is as competitive as each other, and 8 teams remain after Leg 3. In this case, the probability of the situation that the winners of Leg 3 fail to win the race is 7/8. This has happened 29 times. (US 18, CR 2, Aus 1, Israel 1, LA 2, Brazil 1, Asia 4.) Therefore, the probability of the existence of this curse is (7/8)^29=0.02. If we take into account other similar reality shows like Pekin Express and Shanghai Rush, the value would be even lower. (The only TAR-like show that has broken this curse is Expedition Impossible whose producer Mark Burnett, interestingly, hates people comparing these two shows.)
As to the Leg 1 curse for the 5th, 7th and 10th, given that 10 teams remain after Leg 1, the probability of the case that all three teams fail to win the race is 7/10. This has happened 18 times in the US version, and therefore the probability of the existence of this curse is (7/10)^18=0.0016. It is even lower than that of the Leg 3 curse. Thus we should not overlook this curse. ;)
Highest average without a leg won- Sean & Amy's (6th) 2.83 vs. Terrence & Sarah's (5th) 3.25
That's a great one! I'll include that in the original post! However, on Leg 5 of S13, Terrence & Sarah were retrospectively given a 30-minute penalty which, while they were checked in in 3rd, they were actually later brought down to fifth, and departed the next leg in fifth.
I'd count 5th as their official check-in position, which would bring their average down to 3.5, making Joseph & Monica of Season 9 the highest ranked team without winning a leg, with an average position of 3.4.
I think TAR13 would tie...
Nick & Starr won 7 legs
Ken & Tina won 3 legs
Toni & Dallas won 1 leg...
Somebody check this for me please?
If Jeremy and Sandy doesn't win the last 2 legs of THE AMAZING RACE 19, it will be the ONLY season for the american edition to only have 3 teams come in FIRST PLACE (or win). Least teams winning 1st places for a particular season...
S2 and S4 were because of the Fast Forwards. This is something that's what I like with different winners. Makes the race unpredictable. Ever since the Fast Forward was reduced, I think TAR 7, TAR 10, TAR 11, TAR 14 and TAR 16 are the ones with the most winners, with 6 teams winning 1st place throughout the race. No other seasons have gone beyond 7 or 9 winners like TAR 2 or TAR 4.
It's not some kind of a pattern, but it's interesting to see that after the reduction of the Fast Forward... no other season had managed to get more than 6 winners but we do have many stuck with 6 winners (5 seasons I think, if my calculation is not wrong)
The only 3 teams who didn't taste victory that season was Debra and Steve, Russell and Cindy and Monica and Sheree (nearly tasted victory if Steve and Josh didn't take the Fast Forward)
The only 3 teams who didn't taste victory that season was Debra and Steve, Russell and Cindy and Monica and Sheree (nearly tasted victory if Steve and Josh didn't take the Fast Forward)
Huh! With the FAST FORWARD going to Steve and Josh, Monica and Sheree were 54 minutes behind them, 2 minutes ahead of Reichen and Chip and 6 minutes ahead of Tian and Jaree. The more telling statistic is that in the first leg they managed to fall 57 minutes behind Steve and Josh, Amanda and Chris and Millie and Chuck DESPITE WINNING THE FAST FORWARD. I can say with conviction that they do belong on the list of teams who did not deserve to win any leg of AR4.
Most FAST FORWARDs are set up to have the teams that win them have a 2 to 3 hour lead
Here's a TAR 17 fact for y'all!
10/12 legs were won by the final 3.
Nat/Kat- Legs 4,5,7,10,12
Brook/Claire- Leg 2
Jill/Thomas- Legs 1,6,9,11
Now, the other two winners of legs are Connor/Jonathon & Chad/Stephanie. For both of those teams, the leg after the leg they won, (legs 3 & 8, respectively), they were eliminated the leg after. Jonathon screwed up the Detour, and Chad & Stephanie were too cocky from their win & in love to find an earlier flight. I just rewatched TAR 17, and I noticed that.
Small one:
Indonesia is the first (and only yet) country to eliminate 3 teams in one season.

Andy-Tommy become the eliminated team with the best placement average at elimination (2.636), as well as the best placement average of a fourth place team (both previously held by Oswald and Danny in TARAS 2.666), and perhaps the most shocking final elimination since Derek and Drew's elimination in Ho Chi Mihn City in TAR 3.
Five teams just missed out on the final three, despite winning the previous leg: Derek & Drew (S3), Hayden & Aaron (S6), Toni & Dallas (S13), Kisha & Jen (S14) and Andy & Tommy (S19).
If we follow the new rule that TBCs are separate legs, then thwe Kisha & Jen statistic does not apply as Jaime and Cara won the TBC leg before KJ were eliminated.
Jaime & Cara reportedly got a prize for coming in first.If we follow the new rule that TBCs are separate legs, then thwe Kisha & Jen statistic does not apply as Jaime and Cara won the TBC leg before KJ were eliminated.
But this rule wasn't implemented until S18, you can't just go back and split what was once considered one leg into two!
Dom El, in my record keeping I have considered double length and legs with no rest period at pit stops to be two legs for placement purposes as it is the only way to balance out the Races with them and without them on an equal basis for comparison. Since the origin of the double legs was a necessity in TAR 6 to avoid violating laws in Hungary about begging, one can justify such distinctions because the only distinction in retrospect was the presence or absence of a rest period/pit stop.
I'm not adding an extra leg, I just think they should be counted.
But anyway, I have more leg winners stats for you.

10, 14 and 17 are the only seasons that had three teams in the final three that never came last in a non-elimination leg.

In both TAR 1 and 20, the winning team was the first team to use the FF.
Lucy & Emilia are the only team to get arrested and improve their position from the previous leg. :lol3:Colin & Christie won the leg with their taxi drama, though I don't know if it would count as being arrested.
It's time to add some new trivias.
Josh & Brent now is the third winner team that never won in previous legs.
Lucy & Emilia are the only team to get arrested and improve their position from the previous leg. :lol3:Lucy & Emilia are really the record-setters of the TAR franchise. These are how many cool and uncool (*looks at last hyphen*) records they set:

Dats about it!
Kaylani(s19) and Rachel (s20) were origionally going to audition for the race (s19) together. They were good friends but Rachel would be on big brother around the amazing race filming time. So she auditioned with Lisa. And made it!

Andy & Tommy went first to last.
Yeah, so you should correct it :)Andy & Tommy went first to last.
...so have a lot of other teams :lol:
Kami & Karli (S5) and Josh & Brent (S21) share the record of finishing 7 legs in the bottom two teams. Josh & Brent's 7 legs were all in a row (Leg 5 - Leg 11).If you include Kami & Karli's elimination, it's 8.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but something I was just thinking about the other day while re-watching TAR6:
A total of THREE different seasons have had a Final Three consisting of the team who is shown first in the intro credits AND the team who is shown eleventh in the intro credits.
Those seasons are TAR6, TAR15 and TAR20 (bearing in mind that TAR15 actually had 12 teams and so the eleventh team that was shown was not the last one in the intros, unlike TAR6 and TAR20). On TAR6, Kris & Jon were first in the credits and Adam & Rebecca were last. On TAR15, Brian & Ericka were first in the credits and Meghan & Cheyne were eleventh. On TAR20, Rachel & Dave were first in the credits and Art & JJ were last.
When such a phenomenon occurs, on one occasion the team shown first has won (Rachel & Dave on TAR20), on one occasion the team shown eleventh has won (Meghan & Cheyne on TAR15) and on one occasion the team not shown either first or eleventh has won (Freddy & Kendra on TAR6)
Yes, this is what I do for fun... thinking up random TAR-related things. :lol:

This is for Susan-Patrick, Toni-Dallas and Margie-Luke. I don't know about other mother-son teams from international versions. Other than TAR US, I've only watched TAR Aus and TAR Asia, and if I recall correctly, there is no mother-son team from those versions. :)All mother-son teams have same activity in their intro shots: chatting while walking.
Haha, that's brilliant!
Wow! Really? That's a cool observation! Does that hold true for every single one?
The only time in TAR US (which I can think of) that teams left and re-entered a country (other than the US!) was Germany in TAR 3 (Munich - Innsbruck - Fussen).
There could have been a 2nd occasion, if a team had elected to use the FF in Leg 6 of TAR 1. That team would have exited from Italy, entered the Vatican and re-entered Italy.
The only time in TAR US (which I can think of) that teams left and re-entered 2 continents twice was in TAR 6. Teams first arrived in Europe, then went to Africa, then back to Europe and back to Africa, before heading to Asia.

The above statement is true, but in AR3 teams went from Europe to Africa and back to Europe before moving on to Asia; this is not quite as impressive as AR6.

In season 20, the all-female teams have never placed higher than 4th. :o
Here is a really odd one:
The last time teams had to travel by plane on the 5th leg was Season 15. Seasons 16-21 had no flying on the 5th leg.
16: bus transported them to France for start of leg
17: drove over border into Norway
18: took train back to Kunming
19: took bus to Bangkok
20: took train to Austria, drove over border to Germany
21: Stayed in Bangladesh
Is that an odd pattern or what
Declive you have too much time. :lol3:
For the 2nd time ever in TARUS,the teams that finished on top 3 positions on leg 2 were the same as leg 1.
That season was 10. In both seasons,one of the teams was a M/M,the other was a father/children team and the third team was a dating couple.
In S10,the M/M won the first leg and finished 2nd on leg 2. In S22,the M/M finished 2nd on leg 1 and won the second leg.
In S10,the father/children team finished 2nd on leg 1 and 3rd on leg 2. In S22,the father/children team finished 3rd on leg 1 and 2nd on leg 2.
In S10,the dating couple finished 3rd on leg 1 and won the second leg. In S22,the dating couple won the first leg and finished 3rd in leg 2.

i Think u mean six... How can u forget Lena and Kristy!
I haven't figured out how I'm going to treat Dave-Connor's withdrawal in the team rankings as far as computing an average placement.With my lists I treated it as coming in eighth on that leg. If another team had been eliminated at the pitstop, that might have complicated things, but as it is now I think it's best to just keep it simple.
In the past, when a team did withdraw or were given an elimination out on the Race course, that team was the last team that checked in or hadn't yet checked in, and one could treat them as being last on the leg. That wasn't the case here, and it is arkward to decide what to do. However, they do end up being the 4th team to be eliminated (thus being in 8th place overall).
Haven't had a problem like this in years.......

Both the Gusty Grannies from season 2 and several of the teams on All Stars in a delay plagued travel in Africa may have equaled or exceeded the former NFL players.Exactly what I was thinking thescnauzers, especially the 2 teams on All Stars
They did do the world's highest skyjump (at that time) in Macau during All-Stars while it was really windy.
Apart from Lumelia ;)These two rocked the definition of underdogs for all the TAR community. :lol:
If Ally and Ashley survived the last leg (i.e. placed 4th or were NELd on 5th) and then maintained or improved their placing on the next leg they would have equaled Dandrew's record of most legs run without dropping a final placing (TAR13: legs 2 to 10)
Even after being arrested in Dubai and almost having a complete Yani & Nadine moment (last place & last place combo). :funny:If Ally and Ashley survived the last leg (i.e. placed 4th or were NELd on 5th) and then maintained or improved their placing on the next leg they would have equaled Dandrew's record of most legs run without dropping a final placing (TAR13: legs 2 to 10)
Lucy and Emilia hold the record from leg 1 to 10.
*Disclaimer: I haven't verified this* but I propose that Nicky and Kim (current season: 23) performed the most tasks in completing one leg: UAE2 = 6Correct, but only for a standard Leg. (TAR9's final nine ties the record due to the Leg 3 superleg.)
1. coin riddle
2. dune buggies
3. & 4. both sides of the detour : dress camel, prepare food
5. wave pool speed bump
6. rapids roadblock
For this I classify one complete leg as being from pit start to pit stop (even if it is fake, virtual, whatever). I think the only contention would come from the double leg in season 6; in that case they are the F/F team that has completed the most tasks in one leg or the team in the current racing era, i.e. since the introduction of the u-turn i guess...
I think it's a pretty neat record, contradict me if you can!
Is the 'turn over a new leaf' detour the first task to feature a credible animal threat? (i.e. the snakes in the tea plantation)Season 1's India visited the Karni Mata rats... *shivers*.
Past examples of animal warning haven't really produced any animals:
- the fake bear in Sweden S17
- the bushmen feigning fear of a lion to try and get Caroline/Jennifer to climb a tree S22
- the 'crocodiles' in the Botswana fast forward (S22)
Although I think there was something with tigers in India in season 1, I can't remember exactly...
Woah, did I do this right? Is it true there has not been one U.S Season where an M/F team did NOT make the Final 3?
TAR records for the countries visited (not counting USA and TAR8) as of S23:Countries with TAR visited three times in a row is the most population in the world
China and India are the most visited countried by season (10 each).
Both countries also hold the record for the most number of official pit stops (15 each).
Only three countries have been visited three seasons on a row: India (S12,S13,S14), China (S16,S17,S18), and Indonesia (S21,S22,S23)
Portugal has the largest span between visits (18 seasons: S3 & S23)
Oceania has the largest span of not being visited by TAR (4 seasons: S14,15,16,17)
Only S2 didn't visit Europe.
Only S1 has Africa as its first continent visited.
When South America is the first continent visited in a season, the route would always go eastward except for S13.
S7 has the least number of Asia legs (1 double-length leg in India)
S1, S6, and S10 has the longest back-and-forth pattern of continents:
S1: Africa/Europe/Africa/Europe
S6: Europe/Africa/Aurope/Africa
S10: Africa/Europe/Africa/Europe
Most visited city (not counting flight connection cities(ahem.Frankfurt.ahem)): Amsterdam (5) (Every season that visited The Netherlands had to go through Amsterdam, including S19's stopover)
Seasons that have the most number of new countries visited:
S3 (11); S1 (10); S5 (9); S6 (7); S10 (6)
...and the least:
S21, S22, S23 with (0).
Bit of a Random Fact that I thought of there:If Dave/Connor didn't withdraw from the race of leg 5, I thought F3 in TAR 22 would consist 2 M/M (hockey bros and father/son cancer survivors) & F/F (Roller Moms)
Every season of the US Version has had at least one M/F team in the Final 3, (As of Season 23)
But has NEVER had a Final 3 that consists of 2 M/M Teams, and 1 F/F Team.
I find this funny as both Australian Seasons, and the Canadian Season has had a Final 3 Combination of 2 M/M & 1 F/F,
and neither of these seasons have ever had a M/F Team in the Final 3. :cmas10 :cmaslol
in TAR 20 if Rachel completed leg 3 RB and Dave completed leg 4's ones, I thought Army Couple along with Art & JJ would be two teams never finish outside top 4Travis and Nicole.
There have been6571 NEL's through the past 23 seasons (this excludes all fake Pit Stops in which the "leg was not over;" however it does include the legs with no rest period beginning in TAR 18).
0 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 12 teams remaining.
3 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 11 teams remaining (15, 18, 19).
0 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 10 teams remaining.

6 NEL's have occurred on a leg with 3 teams remaining (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9).
Digging deeper into the NEL's..
Out of the 3 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 11 teams remaining, 3/3 were survived.
Out of the 3 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 9 teams remaining, 3/3 were survived.
Out of the 5 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 8 teams remaining, 3/5 were survived (16, 20, 24).

Out of the 15 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 5 teams remaining, 9/15 were survived (2, 3[x2], 4, 5[x2], 8, 9, 22)-Interestingly, no team has survived a 5th place NEL since Season 9's BJ & Tyler.
Out of the 18 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 4 teams remaining, 11/18 were survived (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11[x1], 12, 13, 15).
Out of the 6 NEL's that have occurred on a leg with 3 teams remaining, 3/6 have eventually won the Race. (2, 3, 7).
Something I noticed from TAR24:
At every leg starting Leg 2, if a team departing the Pit Start is shown given a confessional, and the background is different from everyone, they come last on the leg. (Pit Start confs dont count)
I regret to inform you all that Dave & Connor :'( have also accomplished the record of a constant Top 4 finish with a No Damage Run (no bottom 2 finishes where elimination is possible). A record only Margie & Luke (in the US version) have done so far.

ugh if they win :res:
If Dave and Connor win this race, that will be different hybrid of teams winning an Allstars season, and also the first parent-child to win. And.. the oldest person to win TAR. :res:Dave- "I'm 60! I'm too old and weak to be U-Turned!"

5th to 1st: John Vito & Jill (TAR3)
4th to 1st: David & Jeff (TAR4), BJ & Tyler (TAR9)
3rd to 1st: Chris & Alex, Flo & Zach, Uchenna & Joyce
The teams in bold had to complete a Speed Bump, so kudos to them!
Bit of a Random Fact that I thought of there:As so far I know in these seasons had NEL/KOR/TBC legs for 9 teams remaining (US season 9;17;18;22 and Vietnam season 2, VN season 3 is currently being aired) no M/F team ever was win
Every season of the US Version has had at least one M/F team in the Final 3, (As of Season 23)
But has NEVER had a Final 3 that consists of 2 M/M Teams, and 1 F/F Team.
I find this funny as both Australian Seasons, and the Canadian Season has had a Final 3 Combination of 2 M/M & 1 F/F,
and neither of these seasons have ever had a M/F Team in the Final 3. :cmas10 :cmaslol
These facts probably won't last past the second season (unless there's some type of curse), but:More from TAR Canada:
Some for TAR Canada:
The first two legs are always in British Columbia (not including starting line). [S1 Kelowna/Vancouver, S2 Victoria/Tofino]
If you're second-to-last in the first leg, you will be last and eliminated in the second leg. [S1 Jamie/Pierre, S2 Jen/Shawn]
Every team who was eliminated at the first pitstop had previously incurred a time penalty. [S1 Treena/Tennille, S2 Shahla/Nabeela ]
Due to their short length, they are probably in the "not so interesting" category for now. :funny:
in vietnamese version no all male teams have ever gone abroad (Season 1 have no foreign leg, in season 2 and 3, all male team had been eliminated before the race had a foreign one(s)
but many team in other versions went to Vietnam for their legs
Season 3 (US) Ken & Gerard, Derek & Drew
Season 10 (US) Tom & Terry, Erwin & Godwin, Tyler & James
Season 15 (US) Flight Time & Big Easy, Sam & Dan, Zev & Justin, Gary & Matt
Season 22 (US) Dave & Connor, Bates & Anthony
Saeson 1 (AU) Jeff & Luke, Matt & Tom, Mo & Most, Tyler & Nathan
Season 3 (AS) Isaac & William, Vince & Sam, Niroo & Kapil
Maria & Tiffany is the first all-female team to have two women of two different ethnic races (Taiwanese and American) followed by Nary & Jamie (Egyptian and American), Amy & Maya (American and African), and Kym & Alli (Italian and American).
:wohoo:
EDIT: Coincidentally, their respective seasons are divisible by 5.
You forgot Nat & Kat. (American and Asian)

Woah, did I do this right? Is it true there has not been one U.S Season where an M/F team did NOT make the Final 3?
That's really interesting --- only 5 F/F teams ever made it to the Final 3 in their first/only seasons. Kudos to Lyn & Karlyn, Jaime & Cara, Nat & Kat, Brook & Claire, and the most recent Mona & Beth (tbh they were the most random F/F team to make it to the Final 3 :lol: )!
I also like how it's becoming normal for F/F teams to make it far :hearts: 4 of the last 8 seasons had a F/F team make it to the Final 3, while the rest finished best at 4th to 6th. NOT FACT-the last season with suckish F/F teams was TAR 19 :lol:

If your team places 7th overall, you have ZERO chance of being featured in a returning players season.
In other words... a 7th place team has never been featured in a returning players season.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but something I was just thinking about the other day while re-watching TAR6:
A total of THREE different seasons have had a Final Three consisting of the team who is shown first in the intro credits AND the team who is shown eleventh in the intro credits.
Those seasons are TAR6, TAR15 and TAR20 (bearing in mind that TAR15 actually had 12 teams and so the eleventh team that was shown was not the last one in the intros, unlike TAR6 and TAR20). On TAR6, Kris & Jon were first in the credits and Adam & Rebecca were last. On TAR15, Brian & Ericka were first in the credits and Meghan & Cheyne were eleventh. On TAR20, Rachel & Dave were first in the credits and Art & JJ were last.
When such a phenomenon occurs, on one occasion the team shown first has won (Rachel & Dave on TAR20), on one occasion the team shown eleventh has won (Meghan & Cheyne on TAR15) and on one occasion the team not shown either first or eleventh has won (Freddy & Kendra on TAR6)
Yes, this is what I do for fun... thinking up random TAR-related things. :lol:
3 of the first 5 speed bumps were in India.
TAR 12 was the only season with 2 U-Turns where neither was in Europe. (Burkina Faso in Africa & India in Asia)
- Even though NO team has ever placed 5th on the first leg and won the race , they have the best averages too.
- Even though NO team has ever placed 5th on the first leg and won the race , they have the best averages too.
Not only this, but as it was pointed out in another thread, no team to appear fifth in any intro, (US, Canadian, Australian, Asian Versions) have ever won the race.
Curse of the Number 5! :lol:

Both of these aren't 100% sound. Talia & Koby and Daniel & Cesar placed 5th on the 1st leg and won, and then Diep Lam Anh & Thu Hien were 5th in their intro and won.

I was the one to say those two things. And i let pretty clear that this only applies to the american version of TAR. :ghug:
Looks like Leo and Jamal are the only team to be eliminated in a Leg 11 for a stretch of 4 seasons (23-26).and the afganimals is the only team has the chance to compete with both NFL and FT/BE
You wanna see something really horrible and ironic? XDWow. That's kind of a sad thing.

Could TAR25 end up being the season with the most number of islands being visited? So far, they have visited Manhattan, Long Island (Queens), US Virgin Islands, Great Britain, Shetland Islands, Amager (Copenhagen).
TAR 4 & 21's Final 3 took the longest to win a leg. (None of the Final 3 teams in those seasons won a leg until Leg 6).
TAR 6 & 15's Final 3 did not actually place in the Top 3 in a leg together until Leg 11 --- the longest for a Final 3.
TAR 7's Final 3 were in the Top 3 together in 6 legs - the most for a Final 3.

So effectively what you're trying to tell me (and please correct me if I'm wrong!!) but if they have a team with some form of disability or handicap that may impair them along the race... That they're either going to be IN the Final 3 or NOT in the Final 3!? :O

Exactly. So far we only have 3 disability or handicap teams that managed to make into the F3, and apparently all of them are finished in third place.
For simplicity's sake, the "If a disabled team makes the F3, they finish in 3rd" rule only applies to the American version.TAR Canada 1 winner Tim Sr. had Parkinson's...Not sure if we are counting international versions but one of the winners of TARAsia 2 was hearing impaired.Let's just say that no disabled team has finished in the top 2 in the final leg.So effectively what you're trying to tell me (and please correct me if I'm wrong!!) but if they have a team with some form of disability or handicap that may impair them along the race...

This is like the third time someone in this thread is asking for you guys to stop talking about TAR26 spoilers.There have been no spoilers given out ever since RaceUntilWeDie commented on it. (Or at least I think so)
Please Stop

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.U.S. FACTTechnically, Linz is still a team name. :snics:

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 :lol:
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-TurnMike & 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.
*In the American version
:D
Libby & CJ are the worst 10 placers since Jody & Shannon of TAR 16.Jody & Shannon > Kevin & Drew
I believe Jeff & Lyda also has the record for spending the most time at a dancing task - 4 hours more or less.

I thought he was there for a little bit more than 3 hrs and 40 min. Was there any elapsed time shown or a difference in shadow lengths (human sundial)? ???I believe Jeff & Lyda also has the record for spending the most time at a dancing task - 4 hours more or less.

Interesting to see :)
Question:
What city has been featured the most in US TAR. (and I mean international, because LAX is the obvious answer :P )
The city need to have at least a clubox, a ARI or a task to count.

There are five different compositions used for TAR's Opening Theme song and seven different versions in total.

I think you mean 11? In Guam?
But it's amazing work! I like it. I'm quite shocked that only 18 and 26 had late south America leg. And they should do late Africa leg more.
Also, LOL at 106 legs in Asia but still manage to not visit lots of country. (Maldives,Brunei,Laos,Burma,Georgia,Armenia,etc.) :(
So I think Tyler (TAR 26) is now the recipient for Most Title Quotes - 5? Previous record was Brook (TAR 17) (feel like I'm missing someone). Laura said 1 quote as well so they as a team have 6 title quotes the entire season.Flo also had five quotes.
Asia: TAR14 had 8 legs straight around Asia.Doesn't TAR count Russia as a part of Europe?

- First time (I think): All teams that came in last on a NEL were eliminated the next leg
Fun Fact:What do you mean "pointless?" When all of the NEL'd teams were eliminated the following leg? cuz that was done in TAR 14
TAR26 is the first season to have all NELs be pointless.

Only half of the past 8 U-Turn uses have been successful.Um they're double U-Turns so of course only half of them would be successful
Only 4 countries in the US version have hosted multiple U-Turns: China, Russia, Vietnam and Singapore, with 2 each.
Kisha and Jen haven't won a leg in S18 before the finale...
TAR Canada is only TAR which had two Father/Daughter teams in same season and also TAR Israel 4 is the only season to have 2 Mother/Daughter teams too I think ???
Could be wrong, but I think TAR Australia 2 is the only Season where the host had to go out on the course on two separate occasions to Eliminate a team - Leg 4, and Leg 11.
Sticky & Sam is the only team eliminated as 7th in leg 8, this never occured in US version, even for season started with 12 teams blahblah,
TAR Australia and TAR Canada have both ONLY featured Male/Male winners throughout all of their seasons.
This curse was broken in VN season 4 when Lincoln & Chi Thanh had a leg in Luang Prabang, Laosin vietnamese version no all male teams have ever gone abroad (Season 1 have no foreign leg, in season 2 and 3, all male team had been eliminated before the race had a foreign one(s)
but many team in other versions went to Vietnam for their legs

In the US Version, Season 27 marks only the 2nd time that 6 Teams made it to Leg 9, and held the 6th Place Elimination.
The only other Seasons to have 6 Teams reach Leg 9 are TAR Aus 2, & Asia 2 (Although I don't really count this as their were 13 Legs)
TAR Aus 2 is also the only Season to have 7 Teams Race in Leg 8.
Based on seasons 18-26Slot 11 is TK and Rachel I believe
A FF team has not placed 10th
A MM team has not placed 3rd
5,6,10,11 slots in the intro never had a winner.
Season 26 intro gave us the elimination from 5th to 1st.

And no Final 3 with 2 F/F and 1 M/M.
Did a Final 3 with 2 F/F and 1 M/M in other international versions before?
re: elims - 21 would be M/F + 2 M/M (I know it doesn't FEEL like it with the twins yelling throughout half of the final but Lexi was the last woman standing <3)TAR 21 teams finished 2, 3, 5, 6 in first leg is the also the 2, 3, 5, 6 team to boot and all of them had a transport problem in their elimination legs
Also funny quirk for this season:
- F8 NEL: Tiffany & Krista (other F/F team eliminated instead)
- F7 NEL: Denise & James Earl (other M/F team eliminated instead)
- F6 NEL: Tanner & Josh
- F6 Boot: Tanner & Josh
- F5 Boot: Denise & James Earl
- F4 Boot: Tiffany & Krista
so symmetrical :luvya:
As noted in the Ranking the Teams thread, we had a very unusual pattern emerge beginning with leg 5 through 11; starting with leg 5, the average placement order of the remaining teams after each leg did not change; in fact, no matter the order of finish, the average placements of the final three teams won't change.I think the only changed throughout the season is Tanner&Josh's fall?
I started computing trends during the season around TAR 10 or so, and this is the first time I've ever seen this particular pattern. It's that unusual.
and Kelsey and Joey, per Phil, have the most second place finishes (and consecutive) ever. Don't know about the international/regional editions, but clearly set the record for the mothership.They have the most consecutive second place record only
When will TARUS gonna have first ever no M/F teams in the F3?
Tanner & Josh
- Tied with Abbie & Ryan (S21) for holding the record for most consecutive legs without improvement on placement (7 legs) (Leg 3 - 9)
The amazing race Brazil has 4 M/M, 5 F/F and only 2 M/F teams but has a final with 1 M/M, 1 F/F and 1 M/FWhen will TARUS gonna have first ever no M/F teams in the F3?
Only if they cast very few M/F teams and/or the M/F teams all seem slow/incompetent, which is unlikely.

Seasons where all NEL's were survived: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 18, 22, 24
The amazing race Australia and the amazing race Vietnam are the only versions which had the Double Legs in all season (For Australia, it always occured in leg 7), Conversely the amazing race Brazil had no double legs
It didn't occur in Amazing race franchise but already occured in Pekin Express 10 (All-star version)And no Final 3 with 2 F/F and 1 M/M.
Did a Final 3 with 2 F/F and 1 M/M in other international versions before?

I'm very disapointed because all legs in Russia of TAR 17 and TAR 21 and Turkish leg of S21 weren't self-driving
If Honda or Suzuki or Toyota were one of the sponsors of the amazing race US after season 17,We might have a self-driving legs in Japan in TAR 18, 20, 23 and 26

Some notable curse still unbroken
1)For Vietnamese versions, team won a leg 3 also won a final legs and all of them win at least 4 legs
2)If teams have racers name Jonathan, they would win a race or got 9th place curse (real name of Bates is Jonathan Bates Battaglia and first non-elimination legs of these season happened in leg 3 (Season 17, 22 and 26)
3)Team win 5 consecutive legs not win a race (Justin & Diana for TAR 27, Paul & Steve for TAR Australia 2 and Kiwi & Hoang Duong for TAR Vietnam 3)
4)TAR Canada, Australia and Norway only win by all males teams, conversely no MM team win TAR France, Ukraine, China, Israel and Phillipines
5)TAR Vietnam only needs three seasons to produce all types of team win a race, (US need 17 season)

There were no double legs in TAR12/16/20

I mean I get that 'n' is a variable (that's probably what Platrium meant instead of integer), but why are seasons listed in that way by using multiples of 4?? What's distinct about each group?

To be more specific:
Both Abbie & Ryan and Brodie & Kurt are eliminated in 5th by the Twinnie U-turn Strategy (TUS, or TUTS ??? ). They have been the only known victims in the US version, and both did not survive the TUS.
Tbh, the TUS is too deadly of a move for someone to survive in. It's worse than being single U-turned. :funny:

Why is it worse? I think it has the same effect right with a single U-turn??
^ Looks like it's still is allowed based on what happened to B&K. There's no reason to prohibit it, I guess? It's just a brutal way to use the W-turn.
The following teams joined the club of "have finished in 8 different positions throughout a race" :If Sheri & Cole win or get 2nd place in the finale, they will also join this list :P
Amy & Maya (S25) has finished in the position from 1st to 8th
Matt & Ashely (S26) has finished in the position from 1st to 2nd, 4th through 9th
If they got 1st and 2nd on the last 2 legs, they'd have 9 different positions instead of 8, finishing from 1st all the way to 9th.The following teams joined the club of "have finished in 8 different positions throughout a race" :If Sheri & Cole win or get 2nd place in the finale, they will also join this list :P

Vanessa & Celina and Vanessa & Pamela
Both are sisters teams
Both are saved by To be continued legs
Both seasons when they raced had a final 3 consist of 2 M/M teams and a F/F team and the dominant teams not win (and the winning teams completed their final roadblock very quickly)
Both are arisen first in their seasons' intro
Both have a roadblock split as 6-6
Both come from capital city
It took 10 seasons for an all-female team to make it to the Final 3 in the US edition.all-female teams also had one in every one of their respective seasons in TAR Norge, TAR Corrida Milionaria, TAR France and TAR Ukraine, No all-female team ever reached the F3 in China Rush and China
Meanwhile, TAR Asia, TAR Australia, and TAR Canada has had one in every one of their respective seasons so far.
In six seasons, only one female has EVER won TAR Latin America.
Excluding Family Edition which didn't leave North America, Season 22 had the least amount of Asia legs in an American season, with only 2 (Indonesia and Vietnam)Does season 7 count as a European or Asian visit with the Istanbul leg? Technical fact?
I'd say European, because Istanbul is certainly on the European side of Turkey.
And then this record belongs to season 7!
I'd say European, because Istanbul is certainly on the European side of Turkey.
And then this record belongs to season 7!
Istanbul is on both Europe and Asia. For example, in season 21, the detour, roadblock, and pit stop were in Asia

You're totally right. Istanbul's both visits in TAR 7 and 21 were mostly in Europe (Detour, Roadblock and Pit Stop).
So far there have been three versions of TAR US that have had both a Detour and a RB in the first leg - TAR 1 (with the RB unaired but available on DVD), TAR 10, and TAR 28.And there also have been three versions of TAR US that have had 2 RBs in first leg - TAR 21, TAR 22 and TAR 23, unfortunately team that won the first leg didn't win the entire season
In all three of those seasons, the team that won the first leg won the entire season :colors
Is Leg 7 of Season 9 the only leg where the leg placements are the reverse of the team's final placements (B.J. & Tyler were 5th, ended up 1st; Eric & Jeremy were 4th, ended up 2nd; Ray & Yolanda were 3rd, and ended up 3rd; Joseph & Monica were 2nd, ended up 4th; Fran & Berry were 1st, ended up 5th)

This may be a record, not entirely sure. The newly revealed cast of TAR Canada 4 is predominantly women, only 7/20 are male (2 M/M, 3 M/F)TAR Phillipines 1 also had 5 F/F, and LJ & CJ win
And a whopping 5 F/F teams, tied with Israel 4.

They officially were visited but were only used as airport transfers to continue on to Zambia and Tanzania. So I wouldn't exactly count them as visits.
Teams had to find the right connecting flight at Riga airport and board it in time!
Only a single all-female team has ever won a leg in India (Cathrine & Michelle, Norway #1)But many all-female team have ever won a leg in Indonesia (Natalie & Nadiya, Jess & Lani, Sam & Renae, Treausuri & Louisa, Yvonne & Chloe and Parul & Maggie)
More TAR27 vs. TAR28
-Both feature a team that consistently gets second place finishes without managing to reach first.
-Both final legs feature a helicopter ride.
I may be wrong, as I haven't researched this :lol: But after last nights episode, S29 Leg 2, a new record has been broken.
Mike & Liz made the biggest improvement in placements over one Leg. Leg 1 - 10th, Leg 2 - 1st. This gives them a 9 Team jump. :hoot:
They beat the old record, held by Justin & Diana in S27, who had an 8 Team jump: Leg 1 - 9th, Leg 2 - 1st.
:conf: I hereby declare Michael & Liz as the crowned recipients of the "worst to first" award! :conf: Very impressive considering they struggled so much at the cayuco sporting Detour and self-navigation last leg.I may be wrong, as I haven't researched this :lol: But after last nights episode, S29 Leg 2, a new record has been broken.

They are also the first ever team to arrive 11th on the 1st leg (checking in at 10th) then finish 1st on the following leg.
Interesting stuff. How about: what's the longest time penalty a team waited out at the Pit Stop and still survived? Was it Justin & Diana's 55 minutes in Season 27? Kevin & Jenn's 2-hour penalty in the Season 29 premiere had me wondering about this.

Steph & Kristen.
Becca & Floyd are the third team to let their Express Pass expire. The first were Lincoln & Tien Dat from TAR Vietnam 5, and then Steph & Kristen were second only a couple of weeks later. Both teams were simply too strong and never needed to use it.
Then again, better than TAR Australia 3 where I think it expired at leg 4...

I think you could include 2 and 13 as well?OH definitely true for TAR 2 and 13 as well
Also I'm there's a season that disproves this but leg 5 of TAR 29 is the first to have a FF on a keep racing leg.
Becca & Floyd did not go worst to first? ???
They checked in 5th out of 6 teams in leg 8.
I may be wrong, as I haven't researched this :lol: But after last nights episode, S29 Leg 2, a new record has been broken.
Mike & Liz made the biggest improvement in placements over one Leg. Leg 1 - 10th, Leg 2 - 1st. This gives them a 9 Team jump. :hoot:
They beat the old record, held by Justin & Diana in S27, who had an 8 Team jump: Leg 1 - 9th, Leg 2 - 1st.
They are also the first ever team to arrive 11th on the 1st leg (checking in at 10th) then finish 1st on the following leg.
So far, 3 teams in Season 29 did not complete all tasks in their respective elimination legs.Allan Wu did it 2 times in the amazing race asia 2 (Brett & Kinaryosih and Sophia & Aurelia in leg 3 and 4 in new zealand)
Kevin & Jenn - did not properly complete the Detour
Shamir & Sara - did not complete the Roadblock
Becca & Floyd - did not complete the Route Info task
I don't know if that's the most times that's happened in one season--let me know!
Also, Phil had to eliminate a team on the Race course twice in Season 29. Is that the first time that's happened?

Wrong on both accounts, unless you don't count Fast Forward runs. Derek & Drew were 11th on the first leg in season 3 (12 teams that season, so they survived), they did the Fast Forward on the second leg and ended up in 1st. They jumped 10 teams.
∆∆ if the FF was included, then Derek and Drew would still holf the record, but what make special from Mike and Liz was they difn't need FF to win the leg, altough, all teams had bunched up and got the same flight to Sao Paolo
Also about switchback, the most recent seasons that revisited in respective season was S14 (carryinh cheese ARI in Switzerland) that was revisited in S22 ( altough in that season (S22), teams carried the cheese on Snowy hill instead on grassy hill)... Also this was the shortest seasons to be done in particular season ( 6 seasons)

If your talking about S29, then the teams weren't all bunched on the same flight - There were 6 different flights to Sao Paulo.
Also about switchback, the most recent seasons that revisited in respective season was S14 (carryinh cheese ARI in Switzerland) that was revisited in S22 ( altough in that season (S22), teams carried the cheese on Snowy hill instead on grassy hill)... Also this was the shortest switchbacks that revisited on subsuquent season ( S14 to S22 hence.6 seasons)Sorry my english was bad, here's the correction
What?
The US Version has casted 2 Indian-American teams, Vipul & Arti (S.10) and Hoskote & Naina (S.23). Coincidentally both came in 11th Place.

I don't mean to insult your English, I would just like to know what is this fact/record you are talking about. ;)
Just compare their last 3 placements with JVJ and DaveMary, you'll see what I mean. :PBecca & Floyd did not go worst to first? ???
They checked in 5th out of 6 teams in leg 8.
They LEFT in worst.
Becca & Floyd are the first ever team to let Express Pass expire by the deadline.
Steph & Kristen.
Cool! :colors
I didn't/haven't watched TARC4. What happened, why didn't they use it?
if you notice (or maybe some of you did), S29 is the first time the route marker is presented and existed in Vietnam (fan in ARI and ladder at detour)The orginal route marker also presented in vietnam at TAR canada 4 and TAR Asia 5
and TAR Israel 5if you notice (or maybe some of you did), S29 is the first time the route marker is presented and existed in Vietnam (fan in ARI and ladder at detour)The orginal route marker also presented in vietnam at TAR canada 4 and TAR Asia 5
Vietnam was apparently the go-to country of the year, being featured by 4 different versions in the past 12 months :lol: .
Israel and US to Hanoi in the north, Canada and Asia to Ho Chi Minh City in the south.
This may not be 100% accurate, but I think TAR 29 is the only Season to have teams go from 1st to Worst on 3 separate occasions. (The most of any Season)
Tara & Joey - 1st Leg 8, Last Leg 9
Becca & Floyd - 1st Leg 9, Last Leg 10
Matt & Redmond - 1st Leg 10, Last Leg 11
If Brooke & Scott come in 3rd on the Final Leg, this record will increase to 4 separate times.

Had Banyuwangi's leg was normal penultimate leg, they could have been easily won the tar based on their placement averageEven if Trez & Lou went to final, they would still finish 2nd in final as Maggie & Parul always read the clues carefully

And The amazing race asia 5 might be the first season in all franchises no team got penalty at pitstop or route marker!

Treasuri & Louisa 1st leg 8, last leg 9 (TYS + TUS)
Eric & Rona 1st leg 9, last leg 10 (finale)
All even occured in Indonesia, except for leg 7.

Also, had the penultimate leg's U-Turn been placed after the Detour and Trez & Lou U-Turned Eric & Rona, causing the latter's elimination, we might have an all-female final 3!
Just finished watching the Greece episode of S.29, the Speedbump for Mike & Liz is preparing the Greek dish, Kokoretsi. Mike is a butcher and a former chef, its second nature to him. Coincidence, I think not.
Of the 3 All-Female Teams that won the Amazing Race (US Version), Kisha & Jen are the only non-interracial team. Nat & Kat of S.17 and Amy & Maya of S.25 were interracial teams.

Yet they included at least one non-white member.
Zac from TAR19 was 19 years old.

Two teams from Japan completed in the amazing race Asia (Daichi & Sawaka, Rei & Keiji (represent for Singapore at Asia 5), both of them are siblings co-ed teams. Oldest racer of TAR Vietnam 3 was Do Hoang Duong 39, he raced with his wife "Kiwi" Ngo Mai Trang, the married couple was invited for All-Star but refused due to Kiwi's pregnancy
Is Leg 7 of Season 9 the only leg where the leg placements are the reverse of the team's final placements (B.J. & Tyler were 5th, ended up 1st; Eric & Jeremy were 4th, ended up 2nd; Ray & Yolanda were 3rd, and ended up 3rd; Joseph & Monica were 2nd, ended up 4th; Fran & Berry were 1st, ended up 5th)
Technically, Charla & Mirna is first all-female team to make final 3 by team existence (they raced in TAR 5, but finished 6th and later returned in TAR 11, made into final 3). As we already know, Lyn & Karlyn are first by appearance chronologically (they only raced in TAR 10, and made into final 3). I don't know how to put words for this however, anyway.

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)

TAR 16 had it happen from leg 7 to 8 as well :angel.
Just like Tyler curse, we have Brittany curse since two contestants named Brittany all finish in 9th. (21 and 28)We also have Kristen EP curse, two teams with Kristen never used EP, Kristen & Daren eliminated with EP in their hand, while Kristen & Steph was too strong to use EP
And also France joins the elite club of countries that are visited for three consecutive seasons after India (12, 13, 14), China (16, 17, 18), Indonesia (21, 22, 23), aside from USA, of course.
Randomly looking through results of different Seasons, and I think TAR Asia 5 is the only Season where none of the Final 3 won more than 1 Leg. :oIt occured because the Yield and U-turn in penultive leg, if Leg 9 were designed normally, Yvonne & Chloe would be booted due to Chloe's injury leaving F3 with Parul & Maggie, Trez & Lou, Eric & Rona
Marionete: 10 Detours, 5 Roadblocks.Because US version has fewer performance ARI tasks than international counterparts, some ARI tasks can't be skipped by using EP such as collecting coins in TAR 23 leg 4
seasons with 3 F/F teams in top 5
Canada 4, Asia 2 & 5, Israel 3
48 consecutive legs in US version without F/F teams win, It would be 55 if F4 finale twist wasn't introduced in TAR 25
TAR Asia and TAR Israel usually have strong female teams, they usually cast more F/F teams than M/M teams, both versions are produced by ActiveTV (except TAR Asia 5)seasons with 3 F/F teams in top 5
Canada 4, Asia 2 & 5, Israel 3
48 consecutive legs in US version without F/F teams win, It would be 55 if F4 finale twist wasn't introduced in TAR 25
Asia 5 was great for the female teams. Only one guy in the top 4.

Do Margie & Luke have some kind of record for most legs raced in China? :lol:
Jet & Cord went to China just as many times.
Cedric & Shawn (s30) are the only 9th place team that got to visit 4 countries (excluding France for s28's Brittany & Jessica)Roni & Yael (Israel S4) got to visit 5 countries before gets eliminated as 9th place (this season along with TARI 5 had 14 teams, including two preliminary legs)
Seth & Olive (s29) and Brittany & Jessica (s28) are the only 9th place teams got visit 3 different continents

There’s one point you are missing. in many instances, the first route marker in a country is not broadcast, and in some instances those are at airports, but outside customs or baggage pick up. While some are eventually identified by Racers or bystanders, not all are, but based on what you are trying to identify that should be noted.
TAR 19's first leg in Indonesia started with an unaired overnight rest - if I remember, teams took trains to Jogjakarta then went to a hotel where they got one of two departure times for the next morning, which is where the episode picks up.
Feel free for waiting on Bahrain's first place visit in tonight's episode.
It becomes evident in how a segment is edited. If a team starts a leg reading the destination but nothing about exactly where they were to go on arrival, it’s a safe bet that either the departure route marker directed a team elsewhere first, the audio was spliced to add in the first destination shown, or Phil provided that information by voiceover or by editing in a stand up.There’s one point you are missing. in many instances, the first route marker in a country is not broadcast, and in some instances those are at airports, but outside customs or baggage pick up.

I just noticed another curse. It's call the Home Field Disadvantage Curse. If the race ends in the city you live, you will not win the race. Examples are:Josh & Brent won when Josh is originally from New York
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

TAR 17, Nat and Kat were from the LA area and won, but also Thomas and Jill were also from the LA area and got 3rd. Matt and Dana were from LA and won TAR 28, but also Tyler and Korey live in the LA area and got 3rd.

Going to need someone to check this: is Season 30 the first season since Season 17 to have only 2 double legs?
Now it's official: Kristi & Jen are the first team to place all legs of the race on the Top 3.
Everyone keeps saying that, but what about Leg 7 (The Partner Swap)?
Now it's official: Kristi & Jen are the first team to place all legs of the race on the Top 3.
In US only, for international versionsNow it's official: Kristi & Jen are the first team to place all legs of the race on the Top 3.
They're still winners to me in this way. :hrt:
Meanwhile, Art & JJ were a near miss. They had one leg that they placed 4th during the F5 elimination leg. Otherwise, this record would've been theirs.

Marc & Rovilson for Asia 2 (win 8 legs, second place in 4 times, placed 3rd in finale) 3rd
Alon & Oren for Ha merotz 2 (win leg 2, 7 and 8, finished 2nd in leg 3=>6, 10;11 and 13) 2nd
Lincoln & Tiến Đạt (composite team) in TARV 5 (win first three and two final, only finished 3rd in fifth leg) winner
And if leg 7 were played as normal format, what would place for Kristi & Jen
There is a lot of ongoing debate about how to treat leg 7 in TAR 30, and there’s no consensus. For placement average purposes I used the average of the two team member’s arrival order, which was announced on air, but different sources have not settled on any one approach. The show is pretending there were no placements for that leg since at the checkin mat, Phil didn’t directly announce one, but a comment implied a certain team might be the last checked in but that it was a KOR, thus, a non-elimination leg with no speed bump penalty.Now it's official: Kristi & Jen are the first team to place all legs of the race on the Top 3.
Everyone keeps saying that, but what about Leg 7 (The Partner Swap)?
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.
@violetb1911
Why did you combine the three Guinea countries into one? They're all completely separate sovereign states. Same with the two Sudans.
For what it's worth, 9 of those countries have been visited by an international version! :)
@violetb1911my bad, I only meant to put together Guinea-Bissau and Guinea. I just grouped them as they're similar countries that share borders. I had done so for convenience purposes while compiling, but I forgot to change it before posting it ^^"

I definitely feel like there are more models who have raced, but to my knowledge there are these many models who have raced. Hmmmm
--> Remember Dave and Rachel? With 8 legs won they have an average of 1.83, the lowest for any racer to have. You know who is
at par with this figure? None other than TARCan 2's Natalie and Meaghan. In comparison, they won 7 legs, however other teams
who won 7 legs like Meghan and Cheyne (average 2.00), Nick and Starr (average 2.46) and Justin and Diana (average 2.08)
bite the dust in front of Natalie and Meaghan.
I assume you mean the lowest average for any TARUS contestant to have. Tiến Đạt & Thúc Lĩnh Lincoln (1.64) and Marc & Rovilson (1.42) have lower averages.
You forgot the US Version's

Tara should never listed as her age is uncertain.
Tara is 27, but Gra1162 is right she's not a full host of the show so I didn't include her. The one who's REALLY missing from the list is Jaime Arellano from Latin America 6. I couldn't find his age.
How do they get people to watch 50 episodes per season :cmaslol
True and the task are hard and good to watch and my fav season of israel is 2 and 6 watching bar and inna win :cheer: :luvya:How do they get people to watch 50 episodes per season :cmaslol
Because they're gooooooood.

Indonesia spans two continents (Asia and Australia) because of its Indonesian part of New Guinea and Maluku Islands being there.

Pop quiz: Which leg of the Race (from ANY TAR) visited the least amount of locations, and how many locations did they visit?
The answer tomorrow!
Oceania is a geographic region.
Australia is a continent, which includes the country Australia.

Damn. Any idea how long the leg was time-wise?
It is funny how that leg still cannot beat TAR13 leg7's record of under an hour despite the extremely few amount of locations involved :funny:Damn. Any idea how long the leg was time-wise?
Not a clue, but definitely not very long. I'd imagine no more than five hours.
I remeber that one :lol: but its so burtal Kelly & Christy got wrecked because of ken and tina and the stupid holi detour but i like the hoil themed leg BHAHAHAHA :lol:It is funny how that leg still cannot beat TAR13 leg7's record of under an hour despite the extremely few amount of locations involved :funny:Damn.

San Francisco and New York City are tied with most finale visits: 4
TAR 30 is so far the only time Thailand is visited without visiting Bangkok.
Singapore is the only country to have both a Detour and a Roadblock on two separate legs. The Detour is in Leg 1, while the RB is Leg 13, The season is The Amazing Race Asia 2

French Polynesia is a part of France., look at the bottom left corner of the map, you can see a light blue dot that represents French Polynesia
Yeah, I'm realizing now that's a minor issue with our Wiki. When pages are newly added to a category, it takes a long while for them to actually show up on the category's page. I was looking at the category:Countries page for quick reference, and Kyrgyzstan and Bahrain are the two newest additions, so I missed them.

Hamerotz LaMillion 5 might be the season with most route info tasks, this season only had 4 roadblocks, 5 detours and 5 face-offs, season 4 had more detours and more roadblock.
Season with most tasks and longest legs for other versions rather than Israel.
Anyone can could the number of route info tasks for all seasons of all versions
30 seasons into the US version and I still don't think there's ever been a team that placed in the Top 3 every leg. Unless you count Kristi & Jen, which I don't. The 7th leg technically put them in a last-place tie with Jody.
That feat has been accomplished at least twice on foreign versions - Alon & Oren on Israel 2 (although they didn't make Top 3 during that elimination point that took out Gadi & Alona), and Rovilson & Marc from Asia 2.
Given fact on the 1st Leg of S.31
Leo & Jamal won a leg in a country (Japan) that eliminated them on their 1st appearance. Total redemption.
Season 31 appears to be the first season ever in the mothership where the opening credits appearance of the teams were in a clear sequence, with returning TAR teams first as a group, then Survivor, and then Big Brother, and then within each group, teams were in the order of the first appearance on their original shows.Nicole and Victor appear on Big brother later than the Reiley Sisters.

How about Eric (of Eric & Jeremy) he was the first person to run the race twice and not get eliminated.

That's been told here.
Does Oswald & Danny, Flight Time & Big Easy, and Kisha & Jen count? I can't remember.S14 and S15 both have a single episode for finale, so neither of those two teams are mentioned in finale recap.
Biggest Improvement for Traditional NELs (with a SPEED BUMP - so only accounting for Season 12 onward)*Biggest improvement I think pre-season 12 is TAR10 David & Mary where they went from 7th to 1st, but that was with their petroleum fire Fast Forward. Without the FF, I think it's Chris & Alex from TAR2 with their 6th to 2nd jump.
11th to 7th (Maria & Tiffany; Bill & Cathi)
9th to 3rd (Chris & Bret)
8th to 6th (Bopper & Mark; Misti & Jim)
7th to 2nd (Caroline & Jennifer)
6th to 1st (Jet & Cord)
5th to 3rd (Tara & Joey)
4th to 1st (Brooke & Robbie; Evan & Henry)
*mainly because I don't feel like checking the rest of the seasons lol.
Biggest Improvement for KOR Legs (only accounting for Season 18 onward)
11th to 3rd (Jet & Cord)
9th to 5th (Kent & Vyxsin)
8th to 4th (Nicky & Kim)
7th to 4th (Liz & Michael)
5th to 2nd (Kristi & Jen)*
4th to 1st (Amy & Maya)
*this is if you count Kristi & Jen checking in 5th as opposed to 3rd. Otherwise, the "record" would go to Bill & Cathi but they still came in 5th the next leg.
TIL that Corinne and Flo both were born on 17th January 1979.Only queens were born that day :2hearts:
I believe Colin and Christie have the record for most consecutive legs finishing in the top 4, at 15 legs for now (TAR5 Leg 3 to TAR31 Leg 4)
The current record for all individual racers is Eric at 17 legs (all 13 legs of TAR9 and the first 4 legs of TAR11). Or 16 legs if you count the uber leg in TAR 9.

17 consecutive legs now for Colin and Christie! They now have the record! :conf:
(Although I am slightly disappointed that they only have 1 first place as of Leg 6. In TAR5, they already had won 3 legs.)
Has any team come in first place in the same city/country in two different seasons. Colin and Christie were 1st back in TAR5 in Dubai but did not repeat the feat in TAR31.
Alon & Oren is the only team who lost all face-off tasks again 4 other teams but still win a leg (leg 8 HMLM 2)
Has any team come in first place in the same city/country in two different seasons. Colin and Christie were 1st back in TAR5 in Dubai but did not repeat the feat in TAR31.Rob & Amber have placed first in Chile in both of their seasons. Jet & Cord have placed first in China in all three of their seasons. And like nrh2110 said, Becca & Floyd have place first in Vietnam in both of their seasons. Nobody has placed first in the same city though.
Out of all the three-timers, (Jet & Cord, Flight Time & Big Easy, Margie & Luke, Mallory Ervin, Rachel Reilly, Leo & Jamal), Rachel Reilly is the only three-timer who has never heard Phil say "You're still racing!"Oh yeah, no KOR in all TAR 20, TAR 24 and TAR 31 :ghug:
Rachel ( :cheer: ) will surpass the cowboys (:groan:) and Flight Time/Big Easy (:groan:) for most legs raced next week. But I suspect another team will have the record later on. I wonder whether TAR will invite a team that has been in the final 3 twice to return for a third time.
Do you all also keep track of the following records/acheivements? Let me know if you have the answers.
1. Most legs won (career)
Currently Colin and Christie have won 7 legs over two seasons, which tie them with Jet and Cord (over 3 seasons), Meghan and Cheynne and Starr. Do Rachel and Dave have the record with 8?
Dave and Connor have 8 in a career too. Tyler & Korey just got their 7th leg win too.
2. Most legs in the top 3 (career)
Cowboys (20), Colin & Christie may surpress them with 16 until now
3. Most consecutive legs in the top 3 (career)
Kristi & Jen for 11 legs (except the Partner swap leg)

I would apply the tiebreaker rule, which is basically that the team who placed higher on the previous leg gets to check in first.

That Partner-swap leg in Season 30 is such a pain-in-the-butt for TAR statistics :dick It's up there with the inconsistent double-length legs of early seasons (are they one or two legs? does having a mat in the middle make a difference? do you count the middle point in season averages? what's counted as a middle point if there is no mat? is it counted as leg wins and last-place finishes?)
But this time for the Partner-swap: is it counted as a leg? Are the teams ranked as 1st, 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 5th, 5th, or something different? Do you count it in season averages and leg win/streak records or do you skip it? :groan:

About the bolded one, just check the penultimate legs, and hear what Phil says which leg is it (e.g. the eleventh Pit Stop, the twelfth Pit Stop, etc).
I would apply the tiebreaker rule, which is basically that the team who placed higher on the previous leg gets to check in first. I believe Brooke from S29 has stated this on Reddit and we've seen it play out when Abbie & Ryan and Josh & Brent stepped on the mat at the same time in Russia.
I would go with the 1st-1st-3rd-3rd-5th-5th method. Sorry, but as impressive as Kristi & Jen's Top 3 finishes are, they don't deserve to be placed as "3rd" (if we were to use the 1st-1st-2nd-2nd-3rd-3rd method). It's called Partner Swap, the teams ended up checking in with their original partners. They did not check in as one team of 4. Also, 4 other teams did better than them that leg, so allowing them to get 3rd just to give them a record makes no sense to me.
I think they mentioned 'Together as a team, we never finish below 3rd'.I would apply the tiebreaker rule, which is basically that the team who placed higher on the previous leg gets to check in first. I believe Brooke from S29 has stated this on Reddit and we've seen it play out when Abbie & Ryan and Josh & Brent stepped on the mat at the same time in Russia.
Wait... I thought it was whoever placed lower in the previous leg got to check in first? For Abbie & Ryan, I just though that they were checked in first because Josh & Brent had a 4-hr penalty.

Hard same. It did bother me that they were claiming a Top 3 streak when they were checked in last during the Partner swap leg. But seeing as it was a Keep Racing leg, I could see them disregarding that pit stop.
Out of all the three-timers, (Jet & Cord, Flight Time & Big Easy, Margie & Luke, Mallory Ervin, Rachel Reilly, Leo & Jamal), Rachel Reilly is the only three-timer who has never heard Phil say "You're still racing!"Conversely Jaime & Cara, Kisha & Jen heard this sentence 3 times (TAR 14 leg 10, TAR 18 leg 1&4).
Colin & Christie are the first team in TAR US to be both Yielded & U-TurnedAnd survive both.
Big Brother or Survivor crossover teams Leg wins:
Brendon & Rachel - 3
Cody & Jessica - 2 (including Final Leg)
Jordan & Jeff - 1
Alison & Donny - 1

Also, two Big Brother teams have never been eliminated. (Brendon & Rachel, Cody & Jessica)
Somehow you forgot Romber.
Somehow you forgot Romber.Oh that's right! Well, I guess I'd rather forget them perhaps. :lol:
Amanda and Kris (TAR 14, TAR 18) desperately need to be three-peaters.Sort of agree. They've only raced 6 legs across two seasons and the farthest they've made is 8th--and it's not even because they're a bad team.
Jessica & John kind of remind me of them. Raced twice but never made it towards the endgame. They placed 9th and 7th, racing 11 legs overall.
I believe Colin and Christie have the record for most consecutive legs finishing in the top 4, at 15 legs for now (TAR5 Leg 3 to TAR31 Leg 4)Colin and Christie have now eclipsed both tallies through season 31 leg 7 at 18.

I got one interesting or maybe not so interesting: Ty & Korey always pick hot tall handsome instructors (https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/82.gif?w=560)
Not for this leg (with the crossbow roadblock) :lol:
For some reasons, TAR kind of like to feature gay men thirsting over other men (Tyler and Korey in both seasons, Sam and Dan in TAR15 Estonia, Scott in TAR29 Milan)
Do you mean within one season? Colin\Christie were NEL-ed in TAR 5, and Kisha\Jen were eliminated in TAR 14 ???oh yeah I should have revised my wording. Thx
Every time Croatia was visited on a Race, it was on a route with a different amount of legs:
Croatia was on TAR12, which had 11 legs
Croatia was on TAR Israel 2, which had 13 legs
Croatia was on TAR Australia 3, which had 10 legs
Croatia was on TAR 31, which has 12 legs

That depends. My practice has been the count double-length lags as two legs. I’m not sure who “our” is, but I dispute, with reason for consistency in comparing different seasons of the Race, of treating double length legs as I leg.
Oh, there was never any issue with determining placements at the midpoint of KOR legs. Wikipedia does it, and so does our Wiki. The question is whether production considered these instances one or two legs. If you want to consider each KOR instance as two legs for the purposes of even statistics or what have you, that's just fine. But the question RaceUntilWeDie asked was "How many legs does TAR14 have?", which is a question that can also be applied to TARs 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. (And Asia 4, Australia 1, Philippines 1, etc...). Wikipedia and our wiki follow a system, but a lot of people still quibble over this system to this day.
Do we count Moran, Montreal, and Moscow as Pit Stops? Since Phil's narrations seem to imply that.
Additionally, a lot of this came into question when Phil announced that the Sicily Leg in TAR25 was the "300th" leg, which made no sense under any of our pre-established systems. Wikipedia ignored it entirely and just kept doing what it had been doing.

I'm actually pretty sure that the producers (or who ever counted the legs), if they gave a damn, just averaged the three probably ways of counting legs.
All Double-Length legs are 1 leg: 297th
All DL legs are 2 legs: 304th
Only DL legs with pit-stop midpoint are 2 legs: 301st
Average: 300.67
So either the Sicily leg or the Malta leg was 300th, then they chose one and stuck to it.
OR they they were using the third counting method, but miscounted. After they showed Joey & Meghan was from Season 18, anything is possible.

Colin and Christie are the only team in TAR US history to win a season they were U-Turned in.
seasons with racers named Natalie usually hadn't had KOR legOut of all the three-timers, (Jet & Cord, Flight Time & Big Easy, Margie & Luke, Mallory Ervin, Rachel Reilly, Leo & Jamal), Rachel Reilly is the only three-timer who has never heard Phil say "You're still racing!"
Seasons with KOR Legs: 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
Rachel's seasons: 20, 24, 31
I just think it's amazing she's never raced a KOR leg before lmao
Any list of teams who have ever quit a task or Leg?
If your name is Brooke, you have a pretty good chance of finishing 4th in the 1st leg: 17, 25, 29.Brooke Henderson for the Amazing race Canada! she would race along her older sister Brittany (Brooke's caddie)
Season 7 of both The Amazing Race US and The Amazing Race Canada feature multiple teams quitting a task in a single Leg.

Updated for Bahrain.
Just to make things clear the reason I decided to choose places like landmarks, I do not define stations for transportation(e.g. airports, boat ports and train stations) is because those places are mandatory. Even the small in airport going To Zambia from South Africa does not count since it is an airport, that is why I counted Robben Island as the first place visited. I hope you guys can understand.
According to a 2010 Experian Simmons survey, The Amazing Race was found to be the second-highest show proportion of viewers that identify themselves as Republicans, following Glenn Beck.In that 2010 study, TAR was the #1 non-news, non-music show for Republicans. It did not appear on the Top 25 list for Democrats.
I wonder if it has changed in 9 years at all.

Hi, everyone. :waves: I'm new to this forum, and I thought my first post here would be something I noticed after looking at HaMerotz LaMillion's recent seasons.
Speaking of the 6th and 7th season, it looks like Gili from Season 7 is the first contestant to be directly blood-related to a contestant from a previous season, being the mother of Yarden from Season 6. Not too sure if this has happened on other versions of the Race because this one is the most distinct so far.
Also, it looks like Krista from US Season 27 is the first racer from the American version to appear on an international version of the Race, being the greeter on the New York leg in HaMerotz season 6.
Correct me if wrong, by the way. :0328:
So this was another piece of random Race trivia that came to my head. :funny:There's a Phil on The Amazing Race Canada 6.
Allan Wu is the first host to share the same name with a contestant in a Race season he hosted, with Alan from Asia Season 4. The only other host to follow was Fozzy (real name "Alexander") from the Ukrainian version, who also had an "Alexander" as a contestant.
Seriously, I don't think even the other international versions had any contestant sharing the same name as the host they were sharing the seasons with (excluding the racers who became hosts themselves like Toya in the Latin American version and Huong Giang in Vietnam briefly). Correct me if I'm wrong, by the way. :)

A few interesting things about TAR China (the one with celebs and in Mandarin/Cantonese, not China Rush). I am currently into the 2nd season and this is what I have observed.
7. In the second season, for the first time(?) a completely new team was inserted into the race (Marsh and Harry) on the 7th leg.

Actually our Chinese fans don't see TAR China as a “normal” version of TAR. Because it is just a TV show that shooting celebrities playing games. :duno:
1. Only version so far which is not filmed consecutively (they are celebs with busy schedules)
2. Only version where teams don't have to book their own tickets.
3. Only version where they seem to only fly business class or first class
4. Only version where there is no train travel thus far.
5. Only version where a husband and wife were on opposing teams (In Season 1, Cherrie Ying was partnered with her bestie Liu Yun. Cherrie's husband, Jordan Chan, was paired with Ekin Cheng)
6. On the first episode of the first season, Wallace and Jackie sped off in a taxi and left one of the crew members stranded at the route marker. Probably the first time ever.
7. In the second season, for the first time(?) a completely new team was inserted into the race (Marsh and Harry) on the 7th leg.
8. First season to bring an eliminated team back (?) - Guan Xiaoting and Bai Jugang
9. First time an eliminated contestant was brought back in a later episode of the same season as a judge giving a clue (Zhang Tielin was famous in 1999 for playing the role of a Chinese emperor.) **Kevin and Drew race in TAR1 but reappeared in TAR8 to give out the clues.
10. First time a team (Jing Chang and G.E.M. aka Gloria Tang) that managed to last 6 legs finished last for 4 of the legs before elimination (They were so lucky to place last on the first 3 non-elimination legs. They even snagged a 1st place on the 4th leg.)
11. Only version with 2 hour episodes every week.

How did they get away with that? Wouldn’t the other teams know, and thd audience?
So, I just got done re-watching the whitewater rafting task in the Abu Dhabi episode, and I'm shocked I didn't comment on it in this thread before.
No ifs ands or buts about it, this was a STUPID idea by producers. This ranks up there as one of the most unsafe tasks TAR has ever done before. For those of you who don't know, imagine the TAR23 task where they had to ride down the rafting course and grab three flags. It's the same here, except the executives apparently decided this wasn't interesting enough. So, to make it more challenging, they raised the flags up so that no contestant would be able to grab them without jumping. Yeah. Jumping in a moving white-water raft.
Nearly every single contestant walked away from the task with an injury of some sort. Yiru got a gash on his face, Xiaopeng got tons of abrasions on his arms and legs as well as an excess of water in his ears. Weitong got trapped underwater briefly, and she was very upset once she reached shore. She was loudly yelling at production and fellow contestants that she nearly lost her life just for a game, and I sympathize with her. You can see that many of the other teams were quite upset at what they had to go through.
Of course, let's not forget that this task took a team out of the race due to injury. Yueliang ("Izabella") slipped off of her raft and got dragged under it by the pull of the water. As she described on-air, the bone in her lower leg actually popped out and then back into its socket. She nearly dislocated her tibia, and her father was too concerned to let her continue.
This still stands out to me as one of the hardest things on TAR to watch. It's really dangerous and a bad idea, and I'm surprised no-one on the crew spoke up and said they should probably make things a little bit safer for the contestants. Does anyone agree?
Triple post.Technically, Kristi & Jen did it in TAR30 (the only leg they didn’t finish in top 3, the two never raced together as a team)
Angel Li and Li Xiaopeng (TAR China 1), I suppose, are the only team (besides Marc and Rovilson) to have placed in the top 3 in every leg. Happy to have them as my season pick (though they didn't win). :cheer:
To this date, there has not been (nor probably will) any team in any franchise to rack up more penalties in hours than Nancy & Emily, whom had a 24-hour penalty for quitting the Detour in their last leg.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well to this day, no one knows what exactly happened to Maria & Tiffany. And why the penalty was changed to 6 hours.
It's been over a month since the last post in this thread, but there are new facts that just came to my head. Mostly Survivor-related lol.I know a lot of final 3 teams like Logan & Chris, Sheri & Cole, and London & Logan didn't place higher than 4 until after the ninth leg, but I think those would tie the record.
Before there was Laura (from Rupert & Laura) and Chris & Bret in Season 31, Keith & Whitney were the first one-time Survivor contestants to appear on the Race, as well as the first Survivor team to not include any winners. Funnily, Rob from Rob & Amber, won Survivor: Redemption Island years after his last Race appearance in TAR All-Stars and that was shortly before Ethan & Jenna, who were also both Survivor winners, appeared on Season 19 (basing it on the gap between Redemption Island's finale date and TAR 19's airing date)
And speaking of winners and Season 31, Rachel and Nicole from Big Brother were the only winners represented in that season.
Also, speaking of winners again, Season 21's Natalie being on Survivor: Winners at War marks the second time Natalie's competing on a game with (possibly) 2 million dollars as its prize. (The Double Your Money twist, anyone?)
Kiiinda off topic, but I looked through TAR Philippines 1's results before and I was wondering before Sheena & Gee held the record for the most legs ran without a top 3 finish with 12 legs, who previously held that record? Australia 2's Lucy & Emilia with 10 legs? Correct me if I'm wrong. :P
I just looked through the results; it's actually Andrew & Dan and Josh & Brent that currently hold that record (in the US version at least), lasting 9 legs below 3rd place. Those three you mentioned all tied for second behind the two.It's been over a month since the last post in this thread, but there are new facts that just came to my head.

Out of all the three-timers, (Jet & Cord, Flight Time & Big Easy, Margie & Luke, Mallory Ervin, Rachel Reilly, Leo & Jamal), Rachel Reilly is the only three-timer who has never heard Phil say "You're still racing!"Conversely Jaime & Cara, Kisha & Jen, Margie & Luke all of them heard it sentence 3 times despite they only raced only 2 seasons (14, 18)
After just rewatching TAR Canada 5, the first 5 legs all have different winners.TAR30 also had 5 different winners in the first five legs. Kristi & Jen, Cody & Jessica, Henry & Evan, Alex & Conor, and Lucas & Brittany.
Is this the longest streak of different leg winners to kick off a season?. (As TAR 26 has 7 different winners but from Leg 2 - 8 as Jelani and Jenny win the first two)
Malawi and Paraguay are both countries that have been visited by two seasons, with the first visit having a different national flag than the current one.When was Malawi visited for another time? ???

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eo2rE8hU0AECb_U?format=jpg&name=large)The Japanese game show hosts have appeared the most number of times as non-racer, (4 times on TAR, TAR 15 / 20 / 23 and 26 (as Sake drinker))

Manila's dancing traffic enforcer Ramiro Hinojas has appeared on two TARUS seasons: The Manila Legs of TAR25 and TAR32.
There are only 2 seasons of TAR US that have not visited one of China-India-France-Germany-Thailand-NetherlandsIf we replace Japan (8 times) or Italy (8 times) with Thailand (7 times), then the result will be none of TAR season not visiting any of these overly visited countries :funny:

Former Mariscal Sucre International Airport (now Parque Bicentenario) - US 11, LATAM 3 & 6
Batoka Airport - US 27, Israel 7, Australia 4
I also decided to add connecting airports. I added Riga, Doha and Papeete, but those are the only ones I know of off the top of my head.

The former Mariscal Sucre International Airport was closed when the new airport was opened in 2013, therefore that airport was used in TAR LatAm 6.

Lyon (US 1), Baltimore (US 6), Minneapolis (US 6 & 8 ), Houston (US 9 & 32), Dublin & Zagreb (US 12), Sofia (US 14), Larnaca (US 21), Amman (AU 1)
Lisa & Michelle are the only US team (excluding Family Edition) to run a full leg and be eliminated without ever traveling to another country.
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.
I had to do some research to make sure I was right about this, but now I can confirm...
Leg 2 of The Amazing Race 36 is officially the SHORTEST leg in the entire worldwide history of The Amazing Race, traveling only 1.01 miles as the crow flies.

I guess it's unsurprising the record is broken in a Covid season. If the Ronda portion of the Megaleg in 34 had been its own leg, it'd be even shorter at 0.67 miles

Interesting fact, the leg that visited the fewest places is pre-Covid (Leg 7 in TAR 30). Most of the leg took place in the confines of the Imire Rhino & Wildlife Conservancy.
