Development and Production[]
This season is very glam. The route spanning 5 continents (Asia, Oceania, Europe, Africa, North America) travels a distance of 33,700 miles (54,200km). The race marks the first time The Amazing Race has visited new countries such as Palau, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, Benin, Mali and the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. The race also visits to the Russian tundra and the Italian Alps.
Along the way, racers launch a Russian missile in the Bering Sea, find 32 perfections of a living Goddess in Nepal, "Stone the Devil" in Saudi Arabia, visit some of the world's richest mansions in Italy, and even partake in a voodoo ceremony in Benin.
On the fifth leg there was no Roadblock. In it's place was a 2nd detour, which had a 2nd U-Turn to cause drama. The eleventh leg in Bermuda was also a keep racing, where the final four teams were told to keep racing. The 4th place team was eliminated in Disney World after failing to find 3 Hidden Mickeys.
