Season 25

Eleven teams left New York's Times Square into a twelve-leg autumn route through the US Virgin Islands, England, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Morocco, Italy, Malta, Singapore, and the Philippines before finishing in Rancho Palos Verdes. CBS moved the hour to Friday and the production introduced the Save — a new safety mechanic — alongside a Blind Detour that hides the choice until teams commit. The casting leans on teams who arrived already knowing each other.
