I’ve been noticing for a while that various incarnations of Amazing Race drive readers to this blog – they search on team names, catch phrases, and occasionally on very odd but unique characteristics.

Some of which are a little obscure, unless you’re as obsessed with this show as I am.

The one that started all of this was “how can meredith and maria not drive stick?” which totally cracks me up. Other months have other, similar trends. For example, the Brothers Awesomov (Brian and Greg, TAR7 are consistently showing up in my stats, usually with the tag “shirtless” or “ugly hats” for their memorable exit ensemble strategery. I see a lot of broken oxen and so on. It interests me that TAR8, though not terribly good thus far, is already showing up – I guess the shirtless Linz brother made an impression. And Carissa has apparently had a hit with “get used to it, dork.”

Hey, people, if you really want to see TAR racers with their shirts off, head over to www.tarflies.com and start wading through their screencaps.
