Lisa & Michelle are the only US team (excluding Family Edition) to run a full leg and be eliminated without ever traveling to another country.

Bonnie & Mel, Sean & Amy, Rhett & Howe, and Henry & Jennifer would like a word with you.

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.

Just randomly remembered this post and came up to update. Still no X first names, but now we have Quinton (though in the same season as the first X last name, Xiao)

Derek, Emily & Molly are the first Asian-American racers to make the final three without a mother tongue language advantage in an Asian country.
