Season 6

Back to the autumn slot only months after the summer run wrapped. Eleven teams left Chicago into a twelve-leg route through Iceland, Scandinavia, Central Europe, and Asia, with a brisker overall pace than the previous outings. The casting leans heavily on dating couples and the editing follows the friction closely. CBS kept the Tuesday hour. Phil Keoghan hosts a season audibly aware of the franchise's rhythm.

A brisk autumn turnaround.

02Where it sits in the canon

The #11 slot.

Slot #11 of 38 in the Amazing Race Editor's Canon. Season 6 is the quick-turnaround outing. Back to the autumn slot only months after the summer run wrapped, eleven teams left Chicago into a twelve-leg route through Iceland, Scandinavia, Central Europe, and Asia, with a brisker overall pace than the previous outings. The casting leans heavily on dating couples and the editing follows the friction closely — closer than later seasons would dare. CBS kept the Tuesday hour. Phil Keoghan hosts a season audibly aware of the franchise's rhythm, even where the back half does not quite produce the closing arc the early legs seem to set up. The canon places it eleventh.
