We've got stamps from Hong Kong, Macau, France, and Brazil, but there's also a Schengen visa and a German exit stamp, probably collected when flying out of Schengen through a German hub?

The most prominent date is that for Hong Kong, with an entry stamp dated 19 Apr 2015, three months before the racers passed through. Might have been a production run.

Slightly strange that they got passport stamps for Hong Kong and Macau in the first place; I thought they discontinued stamping passports back in 2013.

What did we decide last time about these? I was thinking they were not a real match...

theschnauzers:
The producers collect visas for more countries than are planned, and this would include backup legs that they may need to use during filming. We cannot assume that Hong Kong Macau was planned as leg 11, it may in fact have been one of the backup legs for which a visa sheet or stamp was required for the Racers' passports.

theschnauzers:
)n an unrelated point -- the soundtrack of the theme for the intro is yet another new variation with percussion/cymbals being quite prominent in the sound. I've lost countof how many, but IIRC, this is now the fifth variation we've had of the theme music.

Always remember Chuck & Wynona outside the travel agency in Vietnam reading all the stamps until they found the correct one (Botswana) that allowed them to enter the place and book the corresponding tickets.

But that's not all! We also have a bonus treat for fans of another long-running CBS reality hit, The Amazing Race. Another group of eleven teams will jet-set around the world, gathering stamps in their passports as they hope to win the $1 million prize, and you can see them all—plus some of their destinations—in the main titles for season 27.
