TAR CHINA: News and Speculation
NumfarPTB:
Full Disclosure I was actually looking for insight into TAR30 Leg 11 when I stumbled upon this.
Disclaimer: Let me emphasize, that this proposal was not approved by the sponsors, who still prefer a season of "champions" for the concept of a upcoming season. But it is very interesting to see what the producers were trying to pitch. We'll probably only get some effective official info for the season, very last minute, right before they start filming.
So there was a Shenzhen TV event back on 10/20/17, in which some info about the 2018 programming was made public. This included a pitch from the TAR China producers about what they would like to do with the show in 2018. However, the sponsors were not fans of the proposal.
We completely missed this, probably because it got lost in the shuffle in the middle of TAR30 filming cause it happened at the same time.
Here is a picture from that event, which content I will translate below:

I would LOVE a season of normal Chinese people.
Getting sick of celebrities, FYI

Season 3 of this version is one of the best in terms of leg design and teams competiveness

I ran across a few tweets in Thai mentioning Amazing Race China this morning and a singer named Wangyuan (Roy Wang). I don't read Chinese and Google translations are not that good, but I'm guessing this means they are having another celebrity season (Boo!). However, it could just be some passing publicity stunt. A little research found a Weibo music list that had Wangyuan with the #2 song currently "Because I Met You".
