Season 21

Eleven teams left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through China, Russia, Turkey, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Bangladesh, and Indonesia before a New York finish. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production ran a workmanlike fall outing in the franchise's twelfth year on the road. The casting widens across partner types again. Phil Keoghan hosts the format running its trusted lane — the season is competent without making a distinctive argument about itself.
