Biggest karma fail I can remember on the show was Ari in TAR 12, Leg 1 in Ireland:
Team introductions - Ari says, "Karma's a bitch, but I'm a bigger bitch."
Somewhere in Ireland - Ari & Staella steal another team's cab.
After the Roadblock - Ari's donkey completely shuts down and refuses to move.
Ari & Staella come in last and are eliminated. Ari says during exit interview - "So, karma kicked my ass."
Jaime & Cara are eliminated in China :lol: :(
And every team that Blake and Paige tied with was eliminated the very next leg...
And every team that Blake and Paige tied with was eliminated the very next leg...
In TAR 3, Flo/Zach, despite being members of the "Twin Hunt", struck up an alliance with them (D/D) once the other members had been eliminated in hilarious ways...only to (un)intentionally get the twins eliminated. :lol:
Laurence and Zac were eliminated beside a ship!
What about joey and richard from TARAU1 having a bad leg in south afirca (car stuck in mud, bad goat at a whitchdoctor task and the u turn) after they had they head shaved for the fast forward druing the last leg (hong kong/macau) and also for an over compenative team they offen finshed in the back end of the pack.
It's more of stupidity, they dive their car straight into the mud and got it stuck. :lol:
It's more of stupidity, they drive their car straight into the mud and got it stuckI think it was more bad luck at being the first team in line (like i think luke and jeff said) rather than stupidity, it could have happened to anyone unless they got out and inspected the track or something.
"We both finished the starting line last. No, we're not related."misa and maiya are sisters...
misa and maiya are sisters...
You didn't get the full joke apparently. :lol:ah youre saying that kaylani and lisa are not related to misa and maiya... i thought that was a given. i was under the impression that you were comparing misa and maiya to kaylani and lisa as a ff team who look alike but are not related like jaime and cara as another example or even katie and rachel. i get what you mean ^^
the final 6 of season 20 actually almost match up with the final 6 of season 15Wow, that's really interesting, but I can't remember - which M/M team were Nary & Jaime close to? :?
Winners: the overly competent couple with the blond female who was seen as the better racer, both teams won the first leg, a fast forward and the last four legs straight.
2nd: all male team who bickered with other teams and occasionally each other, excluding fast forwards both won two legs.
3rd: bickering couple that hadn't won any legs with the whining/crying/stressed out female
4th: Somewhat villainous team that had abrasive interactions with other teams
5th: All male team from the country, eliminated on the leg of their speed bump, won 1 leg.
6th: All female team that lied about their occupations, didn't win any legs and were close with one of the all male teams.
Phil's voiceover at the start of Leg 4 of TARAS:
Will Rob & Amber continue their three leg winning streak or will another team knock them out of first place?

Gary & Mallory finished 9th on the 2nd leg of TAR 17 & 18.
Ron & Christina finished 2nd to the last on the 2nd leg of TAR 12 & 18.

TAR23:
2 EPs & 2 w-turns:
1 EP gets used on the detour of the leg with the w-turn.
The teams who used the EP never even attempted the detour.
The 2nd EP was given on the leg with the 1st w-turn.
Both teams who had the EP used their u-turn power on the 2nd w-turn.
The team that used the EP on that leg won the leg.
The recipient of the 1st u-turn finished 3rd to the last on those legs. (and it had the same recipient)
The team who received the 2nd u-turn was eliminated on that leg.
The team who finished between the 2 w-turn victims is the same team. :groan: :lol:
Did I miss any? :) Let me know. ;)

Interesting. I will add this, Jason/Amy is still sitting on the 2nd place those legs :funny:
Does this count as ironic
UB have 5 teams from Season 14
but the first 4 eliminated teams were from Season 14
and the winner was also from Season 14
The most recent one that screamed in my mind. Bunnies thought they were being smart by not telling or helping everyone else that there's a table with additional dates sample at the Detour.. and they eventually still ended up finishing the task LAST.
Not that I wanted the other teams to be helped by Bunnies.. but it's just an irony or some would even say karma.
Posted this a long time ago on the other topic "Some interesting facts, records..." :There status would not occur if the blonde girls taught with the Chipps the location of red dressed woman with an abacus, in this case the chipps would out run the blondes and finish 3rd, the blonde in 4th place and so on, Rob/Sheila still eliminated
TAR 21:
The team that finished 2nd on the first leg were eventually the 2nd team eliminated from the Race. (Amy & Daniel)
The team that finished 3rd on the first leg were eventually the 3rd team eliminated from the Race. (Caitlin & Brittany)
The team that finished 2nd-to-last on the first leg made it to the finale and placed 2nd overall. (Jaymes & James)
The team that finished 3rd-to-last on the first leg made it to the finale and placed 3rd overall. (Trey & Lexi)

More to add here:
No one was eliminated on the legs before the w-turn.
On the legs before the w-turn, the bunnies arrived last.
Before finding out they were u-turned, at least one w-turn victim from each w-turn leg, switched detours.
TAR 17 & 22's w-turns (during the F5) had two teams using it and two different teams receiving it. (Leaving the w-turn board with 4 different pictures.) The team who eventually won the race u-turned the team that was eliminated on the w-turn leg. Of the 5 teams that were on the w-turn leg, the team whose picture wasn't on the w-turn board finished 4th.In leg 7 of both ones, both Chinese American (Michael/Kevin and Pam/Winnie) made a fatal errors lead to their eliminations!
Did I miss any? :) Please let me know.18 - 19.) The eliminated teams placed 11th and were bitter about their elimination. :funny:
TAR25 & TAR22 connections/coincidences:
1.) 5 teams on flight 1, 6 teams on flight 2.
2.) New twist introduced and everyone (especially those on the 1st flight) was determined to win it.
3.) Last team to get on flight 1 won the leg.
4-5.) Brooke & Robbie and Mona & Beth was last at some pint in the leg, but both teams caught up in the roadblock. They finished 3rd and 4th respectively at the roadblock, but one team got ahead of them at the pit stop. Coincidentally, the one team that got ahead of them were FF teams.
6.) Beach destinations definitely.
7.) Jump off from a cliff and jump off from a plane. Either way, I love the view.
8.) Roadblock with sand, and digging.
9.) Sign-up sheet for flights. Two teams per flight.
10-11.) Mona & Beth and Michael & Scott got to the sign-up board 3rd to the last, but they were both on the last flight. The team that got ahead of them (Max & Katie and Lisa & Michelle) struggled at the roadblock.
12-14.) The roadblock quitting and intense footrace. 3 teams: firefighters, couple, and blondes. The couple suggested the quitting in both seasons.
15-16.) The teams that finished 7th are couples. They were from the first flight, but they were last on the sign-up sheet. Their struggles in the roadblock also made them take a while.
17.) When 10 teams were present at the roadblock, the 1st team already checked in.

TAR28:
In leg 3, Jessica helped Cole extensively during the roadblock.
In leg 4, Jessica received no help from other teams at the roadblock (including Cole, who was also doing it at the same time) and it resulted in their elimination.. :(
| Team | Final Placements | Leg 3 Placements |

In TAR Can 2, at the train station going to Paris, Pierre & Michel promise not to U-Turn Alain & Audrey to their face, then do just that. They are eliminated that leg after being stuck on the Roadblock for nearly 8 hours.

They should have taken the penalty, it's only 4-hours. :funny:
I realized that in TAR 11, none of the racers from TAR 4, 6, 8 returned, but the Top 3 placed 4th, 6th, 8th in the first two legs back-to-back, so coincidence?Wow nice :lol:
From TARAus3:
John and Murray made it clear that they wouldn't help any Australian teams (only NZ teams), expect for the Intersection in Russia (Working with Ashleigh). Yet, in Leg 6, Daniel and Ryan had the chance to save J&M, but they didn't, due to them don't helping Aussie teams.
Karma?
For TARCAN: S3,S4,S5 had the second boots last in the intro. For S4 and S4 the second last team in the intro was the first boot.
Now I'm going to give you guys a geography lesson first, before I start with the coincidences. So in East and South East Asia people consider the number 4 unlucky, even to the extent of going to 3 to 5, and skipping 4 completely in elevators. It is usually referred to death. Now what does all this have to do with what I'm going to be saying. Well TAR's first visit to China there were only 4 teams left. The majority of China visits in eastward routes usually end up being in the final 4. (1, 6, 11, 14, 16, 17, 27, 28, and 30) The first visit to South Korea was visited on the fourth season, and you guessed it there were 4 teams left. All visits to South Korea thus far in TAR US have had it always be the final 4. The first visit in Vietnam there were 4 teams left, as well as Taiwan. I just find this stuff interesting and no one has talked about this yet. What are your guys' thoughts on this.
EDIT: Talk about coincidences, this was my 44th post on this forum. Weird how the world works sometimes.
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but in TAR 11, Charla & Mirna finished 8th on the first three legs, while Rob & Amber finished 1st on those legs. Then, on Leg 4, Charla & Mirna finished 7th, beating out Rob & Amber who were eliminated in 8th. The next two legs, Charla & Mirna finished 1st, effectively taking Rob & Amber's place at the top of the pack.
I don't know why, but to me the placements of the first 6 legs of All Stars have always seemed like a kind of poetic justice. But really, that whole season is filled with that kind of stuff, much more than the average season is.
