What do you mean here exactly?
Format as in route? Cast? Do you think they're starting over as if no legs for 33 had ever been filmed?

Imo at this point there’s no way they’re sticking to the original route. From what we know, there were probably at least two legs in middle income countries which are looking more at the summer or fall for vaccination whereas high income ones are spring and summer. A couple of people involved have said they hope to film by June or July and it will probably be a more prudent decision to just go ahead and wrap this one up ASAP. Stick to developed countries and then cross the bridge about 34 when they get there. Just my opinion tho.
Marionete:
I mean, if Peach just meant the route, it's kind of a nobrainer that they'll have to alter it due to the pandemic. Even without one, they might not wanna do some of the locations they had planned anymore.
If we really had 3 episodes filmed in the UK instead of 2, that screams replacement leg to me, they'll probably want fewer countries with consecutive legs than they had planned. Or maybe they won't care just to save budget.

Yeah I’m expecting lots of non travel legs.

I have heard that they will resume where they left off. I am like 95% sure that they are doing this.

Not happening. We are (hopefully) looking at a whole different time of year for one.. Some countries will have borders closed that were not last FEB. ALL routes and tasks will HAVE to be reconsidered. Transportation will have to be different. Cast will need to re-commit and not all may be able or want to do that. Depending on all that its possible that it could be easier to just start over.
I am not saying that WILL happen. I AM saying it MAY happen. Take it FWIW.
Marionete:
Yeah, I guess it's something that can only be known much closer to start than we're at now.
With things changing so quickly in this pandemic, someone might say right now that they are free to resume the race, then have to drop out closer to filming.
Same thing goes for routes, which is why I find it pretty silly to post routes here at this stage. A country that's handling the pandemic well right now might see a new surge in cases months later. Countries that aren't doing well at all right now might take care of it completely with vaccines over the next half a year. Or vaccines won't be as widespread that fast. Just too many unknowns right now, speculation seems quite worthless to me atm.
