TAR 33 ORIGINAL PRE-RACE Speculation (dates/cast/routes)
theschnauzers:
There are still unanswered questions because of the newly confirmed COVID-19 variant which is spreading and has been detected on several continents. It is still not known how wel the vaccines will work against this particular variant, and it appears to spread 50 to 70 percent faster than the current COVID-19 mutation that was first detected in March and which itself spread much faster than the original strain.
There are still a lot of unknowns about the other vaccines being promoted in Russia and China, and how quickly vaccine distribution and administration will take place in various places in much of the world outside of Europe and North America. So I’d be very cautious about time frame predictions for resuming filming of season 33.

I think TAR33 may be europe heavy season because of it. They will probably visit South America as well. My guess would be first 3 legs in UK, then 4 legs in South America and then 4 legs in Europe.
They are definitely skipping Africa.
Asia? Idk, maybe some more developed countries like UAE, Singapur, Japan or South Korea? But I still can't see them staying in overcrowded metropolitan cities for safety reason.
I still think Australia & New Zealand (and also Canada) are uninteresting countries from producer standpoint because they are just too similiar to US.

As more probably to be a 6-continent race route, BVM stated in the Yahoo interview (in addition to UK and Sweden; UK will be 2 legs and Sweden as the 3rd leg) the proposed countries are Austria/Italy, Vietnam, Indonesia and a penultimate leg in South America in an eastward route from Oceania (Australia). Africa is more likely to be visited.
All just my opinion

I made what I thought would be a realistic route for the rest of 33 but won’t post it out of fear I’d someone mess things up if I’m accurate

Yeah, I’d think if they decide to tweak the route so they can finish, they’ll stick to smaller and medium sized developed countries. I read that Australia isn’t starting its vaccine program until March since it’s summer there now and they’re doing well regardless.
I also agree that they don’t really go to Oceania and Canada because they’re just too similar to the US. Australia and NZ are so geographically isolated that you almost have to do three legs between them and that’s three legs in English speaking countries. The UK is much easier to get in and out of as far as English speaking countries go.

I would think they would visit Australia for this season because we have been wanting them to visit Melbourne, Tasmania, and a revisit to Cairns, Brisbane, Perth, etc.
I think a route could be:
Leg 1: (United States --> England)
Leg 2: (England --> Scotland)
Leg 3: (Scotland --> Sweden)
Leg 4: (Sweden --> Austria)
Leg 5: (Austria --> Singapore)
Leg 6: (Singapore --> South Korea)
Leg 7: (South Korea --> Japan)
Leg 8: (Japan --> Australia)
Leg 9: (Australia)
Leg 10: (Australia --> New Zealand)
Leg 11: (New Zealand --> Chile or Argentina)
Leg 12: (Chile or Argentina --> United States)
I think that Chile would be the option however I would love a Mendoza, Argentina, meat eating switchback. Also, us fans are loving the no double leg countries however I would love to have two Australian cities visited.
