Season 22

Eleven teams started from French Polynesia into a twelve-leg spring route through New Zealand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Botswana, Switzerland, Germany, and Northern Ireland before finishing in Washington. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production opened with a starting line outside the United States — a quiet structural tweak the editing room used to push the early legs into broader coverage. Phil Keoghan paces a season the franchise is still pacing well into its second decade.
