TAR 33 ORIGINAL PRE-RACE Speculation (dates/cast/routes)
I ♥ TAR:
Didn't BVM or Phil said in interview that all remaining teams agreed to continue? It was in march though... Lot of could change. We know that one couple broked up.
GP, so do you think there is real possibility that TAR33 could start since the begining with new cast and these 3 legs with "corona" cast will never air?
cerealking:
They could always just invite everyone back and recast those who don’t want to or can’t come back and just re-start it from the beginning.

This cast has history together they can not just add some newbies teams to them and restart from the beginning, imo.
OMGitsGARRET:
Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment, confirmed in mid-May that no one from the original cast has dropped out:
--- Quote ---"Production on Survivor and The Amazing Race was interrupted. What precautions are you taking there and with those casts? Has anyone from either show dropped out?"
"I don't believe anyone has dropped out. We are going to take all precautions that take all steps to protect the health and safety of our contestants — or in scripted shows, or actors — but also certainly the crew. Everyone's health and safety is going to be taken into consideration.

Phil Keoghan confirmed on Twitter in early-April that the intention for season 33 of The Amazing Race IS to resume filming where they left off.

Phil Keoghan also confirmed in several interviews, most recently around mid-October, when questioned about whether it would pick back-up where they left off, he said:
--- Quote ---"We’ll go back and finish the season as soon as we’re able to do it safely. Our number one goal for all of us is to make sure people are safe and we pride ourselves on keeping people safe. We can't make that promise right now with the world the way it is. Rest assured, we will be back and we will hopefully be even better than we have been before. Every season we are trying to improve, to take it up a notch.

So it seems pretty clear that the plan from the beginning is to resume where they left. Granted, the original route and the original tasks will probably be different than what was intended, but I think the "resume" part is that the three (two?) episodes/legs they filmed will continue on with the same cast. So unless something has changed since mid-October when he gave his most recent statement on this (that I could find), then this seems to still be that plan.

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?

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.

I'm sorry, I meant like they are keeping the original 3 legs that they filmed! NOT that they are sticking to the original route. I'm sorry for the confusion.
