Franchise
- First season not to circumnavigate the globe.
- First-time visits to Peru, Chile, Botswana, Turkey, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.
- First season to implement the penalty for the last team to arrive at the non-elimination leg were forced to surrender all of their possessions (except for their passports and the clothes they were wearing, for the remainder of the race).
- This was in addition to already being stripped of all their accumulated money and not receive any money on the next leg.
- Teams were also not allowed to beg for money prior to the start of the next leg.
- This was in addition to already being stripped of all their accumulated money and not receive any money on the next leg.
- Third season where all the final three teams are co-ed teams.
- Coincidentally again, all the final three teams were involved in a love relationship.
Reception
