Season 19

Eleven teams left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through Taiwan, Indonesia, Malawi, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Panama before finishing in Atlanta. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production ran the format with the muscle memory of eleven years on the road. The casting widens across age and partner type. Phil Keoghan hosts a follow-up to the returnee spring outing whose cast couldn't quite carry the editing room into the same kind of season.

01The take

The follow-up that faltered.

02Where it sits in the canon

The #26 slot.

Slot #26 of 38 in the Amazing Race Editor's Canon. Season 19 is the follow-up to the spring returnee outing, and the canon places it where the cast lands. Eleven teams left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through Taiwan, Indonesia, Malawi, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Panama before finishing in Atlanta. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production ran the format with the muscle memory of eleven years on the road. The casting widens across age and partner type but the editing room couldn't quite find the kind of central friction it had spent the spring leaning on. Phil Keoghan hosts. The canon places it twenty-sixth because the season is competent without quite carrying the room.
