Hong Kong especially with all the craziness going on there.

Mostly, I wonder what the objective for production is. Now that the show is going into its 33rd season, it's safe to say it's doing ok - "ok" at its most loose term. But there's no masking that the original version is declining in popularity substantially since that Friday primetime death slot move in the mid-2010's and CBS trying to get the show over with quicker with more back-to-back broadcasts lately. Are they going to continue riding out this wave on a life raft or are they going to try to improve their circumstances? :duno:
I feel like CBS is on the verge of giving up on this show and I'm not ready for it to leave the airwaves.

Hong Kong definitely is a No
I mean, even with no masking, the police has been so sensitive and non-cooperative (Arrest citizens whenever they want)
The public transport has been a chaos for 721/831 incident (The mobs come to beat citizens/ The police beat the citizens)
Also, XinJiang is a No
We know there is a concentration camp
We won't be able to see China appear in future seasons for sure

My presumption is Tough as Nails delays/affects TAR 33's filming. We know CBS isn't too high on TAR given the new exec, minimal ratings for Reality Showdown, and overall probably being the most expensive reality show to produce.
And now we are in our -fifth- year of airing one US season per year during the spring, there really is no rush to film anything. The crew for TAR 32 has already secured the record for the longest time to wait for their season to air, and they still have another four to six months to wait. That's a long wait to post pictures with your new TAR buddies on Instagram.

It could be the end of the original American version. As Phil is super busy with his hectic work schedule. That might not wait for less than two years after TAR 32 has last filmed.

I'd really hate to see this being the beginning of the end. I think one of the things I've been noticing more from the other reality TV competitions that are still successful like Survivor, American Ninja Warrior, heck even Big Brother which I can no longer stand is that the contestants do seem like they are connected with everyone inside and outside of their show well. Even the first season of Love Island being shoved down everyone's bloated stomachs had some people talking about the contestants at least. I wish TAR continued with Elimination Station and the drama and raw passion of the race as a journey rather than focusing on showing teams doing the tasks and un-rushedly taxiing. The former is really a part of what made the show feel a lot more interconnected as a community for racers, fans and viewers.
The real ingredient TAR is lacking right now: social interactions.
And it's not looking good as season 32's racers are still anxiously waiting to be able to talk about the racers on their season if it's even on their minds anymore. I can't even imagine how hard the winners have to hold it in.
