Most finales only ever come down to a race between two teams - only TAR2,3 and 11 (maybe 8 too?) didn't have at least one team totally out of it halfway through the episode.

Yup:
TAR 1 - Guidos were stuck somewhere outside finale city
TAR 2 - All 3 were close, but with Chris/Alex and Tara/Wil literally within running distance, Blake/Paige were out it in say, the last 5-10 minutes
TAR 3 - All 3 were close
TAR 4 - same as TAR1
TAR 5 - Brandon/Nicole never caught up after falling behind with the flight
TAR 6 - same as TAR5
TAR 7 - Ron and Kelly caught a later flight
TAR 8 - Weavers fell behind, plus the Linzes and Bransens were neck-and-neck
TAR 9 - same as TAR8
TAR 10 - same as TAR7
TAR 11 - all 3 were close
TAR 12 - same as TAR8
TARA 1 - forgot
TARA 2 - all 3 were close
TARA 3 - same as TAR7
TAR Brazil - 3rd place team quit

I'd say the only true close finales were TAR 3, TAR 11 & TARA 2. (Not counting Asia seasons and Brazil seasons, that'd be only two.)
