A season shelved, then aired.
A season that sat finished on a shelf for nearly two years, then aired into a very different world unchanged.
Mega Leg debuts, Yield returns.
A back-to-basics standard season, filmed in late 2018 and held back: originally slated for May 2020, its broadcast slid to October. Eleven teams left Los Angeles into an eleven-leg route through Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, India, Cambodia, and the Philippines before a New Orleans finish. CBS held the Wednesday hour and brought back the Yield for the first time since 2007, alongside the new Mega Leg and a City Sprint twist on a stripped-down route.
The #29 slot.
Slot #29 of 38 in the Amazing Race Editor's Canon. Season 32 is the back-to-basics outing, filmed in late 2018 and held back: originally slated for May 2020, its broadcast slid to October. Eleven teams left Los Angeles through Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, India, Cambodia, and the Philippines before a New Orleans finish. CBS brought back the Yield for the first time since 2007, alongside the new Mega Leg and a City Sprint twist. The canon places it twenty-ninth because the season is a clean stripped-down run whose delayed-broadcast story is more interesting than the route itself.
