Season 13

Ten teams — a trimmed cast for this outing — left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through Brazil, New Zealand, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, and Russia. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production leaned into longer legs in fewer countries. The casting goes deep on family pairings and partner duos. Phil Keoghan hosts a season the franchise had earned the audience's trust to make. Quietly assured.

The #08 slot.

Slot #08 of 38 in the Amazing Race Editor's Canon. Season 13 is the franchise on its full muscle memory. Ten teams — a trimmed cast for this outing — left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through Brazil, New Zealand, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, and Russia. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production leaned into longer legs in fewer countries, which gave the cast room to land the kind of late-leg confessionals the show had earned the right to spend airtime on. The casting goes deep on family pairings and partner duos. Phil Keoghan hosts a season the franchise had earned the audience's trust to make. The canon places it eighth because the season is quietly assured.
