 China was the only previously visited nation from the previous season featured on this season.The "Race" also featured a franchise-first twist for the Yield and U-Turn, dubbed as a "Yield/U-Turn vote", where during a certain point on the leg, each team could cast one team per vote, on whom they wished to be Yielded (which was held at the Pit Stop) or U-Turned (held during the Detour) depending on the leg.Teams (and any multiple teams in the event of a tie) who received more votes would be subjected to a Yield/U-Turn.
