If the ratings of the premiere episode keep steady, I would have high hopes for that!

Besides, it's airing so early this year that there's plenty of time to shoot/edit a season for Autumn.
As things are, it would be difficult  The only way would be to compress some Survivor episodes as two hours in that time slot and rotate the two. CBS has never had a stable time slot for TAR other than this one, and they simply don’t have a clue of what else would work long-term.

There is plenty of time to shoot one for late spring too.

How is Sundays 8pm for S10-S24 not a stable time slot?

The sports overruns in both spring and fall wrecked havoc for families wanting to watch the show or for recording the show for later viewing as well. As it’s turning out, CBS is still having that problem, and also having it’s Sunday scheduling deal with cable and premium cable airing new seasons of their hit shows in that Sunday night time slot as well.

NFL overruns, more often than not, actually helped TAR quite a bit, boosting TAR with a great lead in and maybe even artificially keeping TAR's  numbers higher than they might have been otherwise.

Some weeks yes, other weeks not so much. But in the spring, the impact was more negative given that CBS for most of that period aired two weeks of March Madness, the Masters, and some other golf tournaments that ran way over...I can recall a few that were over an hour, and many viewers who DVRed the show got 60 Minutes and no TAR. Not to mention weeks being skipped because of special events both in the fall and spring. Wednesday’s has far fewer such problems over the earlier seasons.

1.4 rating for week 2. Slight drops from premieres always expected. Most other shows dropped as well.

Amazing Race Metrics for Episode 1 & 2.  Special thanks to The Rabbi for the correction earlier.  My hope is for TAR30 to sustain an overall increase to 18-48 group demographics and viewers (mil).  Hopefully, this will again validate TAR's bench strength in the CBS line-up and result in more seasons.

Final ratings are in and the demo stayed at 1.4 but the viewers went up a little bit below 7 million. Still good ratings as The Amazing Race was the #1 show of the night in viewers

Love how the Ratings are going. I hope this is the road for more seasons and the return of double seasons a year. I think producers must note that a January start to a new season must be on the cards for future seasons + retain the timeslot.

Nah no need for double season two, would love to, but since TAR 29 now is  considered as the best season ever on TAR history thanks to single season a year, i prefer single season.
what might have been

I’m not sure the year long wait is as responsible as the time slot.

I think what El means is that production can create better races when they're focused on creating only one a year, as opposed to trying to build two each year.

I still think the quality of the races in 2-race years are still strong enough to warrant them returning to that set up.

Especially if CBS pushes for it- that might give production more money, availability to do more/have more on future races.

TAR 29 was built and filmed as a part of a two season cycle.

It was not a standalone

Time slot may have a lot to do about the ratings. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve read complaints about the different time slots TAR has endured since it was last on Wednesday’s, and how the particular time slot inconveniences viewers lives or family-time viewing.

Quality of the season hasn’t been a factor in a time slot with the sole exception of TAR 8, which had several things that worked against it, but not the casting in general, IMHO.

I'm so glad they are touting this. I don't care we are burning 2 episodes at a time this season. More TAR on the Survivor hiatus is smart. Listen to what the viewers want CBS!
