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

[LandonM170]

Kaylynn & Haley are the first team to ever be yielded twice on the same leg.

[cbacbacba1]

Kaylynn & Haley are also the team to get in last for all the NELs / KORs / TBC mid-points of a season 

Officially the queens of NELs and Yields 

[Lemontail]

Aside from the final 3 (or 4) teams, the fourth place and occasionally, fifth place (if they're eliminated before the penultimate leg) teams also appear on every episode on a season, if "previously on" scene is counted and includes the final mat scene.

Real random stat: most TAR winners have their first names beginning with C (9 times) or J (8 times).

People with first names G H I O P Q W X haven't won the race yet.

This will be edited if Gary or Will wins TAR32, of course.

Think hard when naming your children, TAR fans!

Ig you could say Becca and Floyd ruined two classic twists!!

They took the fastforward in Norway and only led them to a 3rd (?) place finish and we havent seen one since

They had the express pass as well and it went unused! this was the last time we saw the express pass!!

Manila's dancing traffic enforcer Ramiro Hinojas has appeared on two TARUS seasons: The Manila Legs of TAR25 and TAR32.

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))

States who have still never had a contestant compete on Amazing Race: Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, North Dakota, West Virginia, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine

[Maanca]

Those are mostly among the least populated states (Wyoming has the least), so naturally their casting pool is smaller.

If 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 

[ianthebalance]

Surprisingly, the last self driving in South America was season 20!

[G.B.]

Made a new thingy that shows the locations of airports from the Race. Let me know if there's anything to add.

[georgiapeach]

Awesome!! Thanks!

hmmm...can't get it to open?

[ianthebalance]

I can't get it to open either

[G.B.]

It's a Google Earth file

[georgiapeach]

Still, it should open from the ink provided? Is there another way??

Upload the file to this website.

I don't know what you're talking about, I can click on the link and download it just fine.

Batoka Airport - US 27, Israel 7, Australia 4

Thanks for these. Weirdly I couldn't find any sort of code for Batoka Airport, despite being able to find at least SOME sort of code for even the most remote and tiny airstrips elsewhere.

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.

First task of TAR Latam 6 was on the decommissioned runway of the old airport, and teams traveled by train out of Quito not by plane. The new airport has only appeared on TAR Israel 8.

Too bad we couldn't add Tonga to that list. That would've been neat.
