01The take
Season 2.
Eleven teams left from the dust of Pahrump, Nevada, and the route ran across the Mediterranean, the Horn of Africa, and southern Asia. CBS slotted the second outing into a Monday hour and let the format breathe for a full thirteen legs. The casting widens its archetypes — sibling pairs, dating couples, lifelong friends. Phil Keoghan settles into the throughline. The hour finds its editing grammar.
