Season 27.
Eleven teams left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through Brazil, Argentina, Zambia, France, the Netherlands, Poland, India, Hong Kong, and Macau before finishing in Southampton — and the show's first-ever stop in Zimbabwe. CBS held the Friday hour and tightened two tools: the Express Pass now has to be handed to a rival after use, and the U-Turn moved onto the Detour decision point. The casting leans on partner pairs running a competent standard route with sharper mechanics.
