Season 16

Eleven teams left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg spring route through Chile, Argentina, Germany, France, the Seychelles, Malaysia, Singapore, and China. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production ran the format on muscle memory — the kind of season the franchise can build in its sleep after a full decade on the road. The casting leans on the dating-couple and partner-pair archetypes the show had refined. Phil Keoghan keeps the pit-stop cadence honest across the legs.
