All-Stars.
A returnee field that already knows where the airport lines slow them down — the kind of chemistry only shared race history can produce.
A rhythm worth tracking.
Eleven returning teams came back for the franchise's second full all-stars outing, leaving Santa Clarita into a twelve-leg spring route through China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and England before a Las Vegas finish — with the show's first-ever stop in Wales along the way. CBS held the Sunday hour and stocked the legs with Express Passes, Double U-Turns, and Speed Bumps. The casting is the draw: a veteran field that already knows the format cold.
The #15 slot.
Slot #15 of 38 in the The Amazing Race Editor's Canon. The seasons on either side show what I ranked it against.
