01The take
Season 17.
Eleven teams left Boston into a twelve-leg autumn route through England, Ghana, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production delivered the kind of polished late-classic outing the franchise had earned the right to make — longer legs in fewer countries, the editing room trusting the geography to fill the hour. The casting widens its demographic reach again. Phil Keoghan hosts the format running cleanly on rails.
