01The take
Season 12.
Eleven teams left Los Angeles in November, and the route ran through Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Croatia, Burkina Faso, and the Taiwan corridor. The writers' strike disrupted the broader CBS schedule that winter, which compressed the airing window and tightened the production calendar. The casting leans toward dating couples and the editing keeps a brisk twelve-leg cadence. Phil Keoghan works the hand-offs with the franchise's full muscle memory.
