Trivia
Franchise
- Second-time visits to Portugal (after Season 3) and Poland (after All-Stars).
- First season where two teams used an Express Pass.
US
- Second season where no new countries or territories were visited (after Season 21).
- Second season to feature an Indian-American team (after Season 10).
- Fifth season where all the final three teams are co-ed teams (after Seasons 5, 6, 7, & 19).
- This season's visit to Portugal made the country have the largest gap (at the time of airing in 2013) between one country's visit in a season and its previous season's visit, which was in Season 3 (20 seasons), but since has been broken three times.
