Seeing the cast, Bertram, Elise and Phil having to possibly wait longer than 2 years to be able to talk about their castmates, their journeys, and receive their prizes is beyond maddening.
CBS has been notorious for forcing TAR outside of its home since the single-digit seasons and their flippant decision to place it on the Friday death slot in the mid-2010s strained the ties they had with the show. And all of it was because of the network's own wrongdoing. Then afterward, CBS' awful scheduling behavior of blindly batting it to every time on every day of the week (a rerun of TAR24's Guangzhou legs aired on Saturday once) did nothing but worsen their seemingly one-sided severed relationship.
Shame on those involved with officializing the yearly show schedules at CBS and not giving a credible 20+ Primetime Emmy-awarded program a proper timeslot.
In addition to the winning team indubitably being unsatisfied over this promised prize amount not being fulfilled, the other teams with a 1st place Travelocity package can't even redeem their earned holidays or trade them in for a cash value until even after this uncertainty is answered. It's already a new decade. How long do they have to keep these promotional packages in their pockets until they expire, or are they still frozen in time? I'm sure Travelocity also isn't having any of this by being kept waiting to distribute 32's prizes before 33's new set of goodies have to be signed off on.
We NEED an answer from Viacom/CBS at this point. They MUST get their crap together. There's no excuse for Survivor to run four full circles, probably five after their all-winners season, before the Race can run once and who knows if it's even going to be this year. I really want to tell them to take out one of the sitcoms that people do not like, move it to All Access, replace it with the Race, and make it TAR's permanent timeslot. I also feel really bad for the racers who are going to be part of TAR33 and likely are going to have to endure this corporate Hollywood mess too.
It's all so upsetting to think about. I know I may sound like I am weaponizing my feelings for the show to have a set time on the air, but there is a point where enough time has passed for concerns to be amplified.

Love your passion. The lack of a start date def sucks.
But do keep in mind that there is a whole new team in charge at CBS. It has been a huge year of transition for them.
I am hopeful that the new team is supportive of the TAR team. We did get approval for a new race to run. :)x
But agree, we NEEED a date for 32 asap. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
I loved us in the after Survivor spot... if we could get than again during All Stars it would be AMAZING!!

The Love Island twitter just posted that a new season is coming "This Spring". No clear date, but obviously anytime before June and much earlier than its airing last year. Nothing for TAR32 though =(

Bertram, Elise, and Phil have been doing this job for nearly twenty years. I'm confident they're not chuffed about having to wait to talk about a cast/race. It's literally their job to produce the show, and when this shows up, they will produce more. They aren't chomping at the bit, and to be worried about them is just displacing your own anxiety over not having 11 or 12 new episodes of the race. It will air. If it's longer, then so be it.
Being concerned about the cast is also a bit weird. They are fully in the know about their prizes being dispensed upon airing. They've signed contracts for that. The race is done and the winners know they are getting money. It's not like they're on the edge of their seats; they just need the same patience. I get people wanting more episodes, but turning this around and being concerned for people that-- if not for spoilers-- we haven't even seen is a bit bonkers.
CBS has had a huge internal shift and with that comes new people with new ideas. If they want to take a chance on Love Island (which is a major ratings hit overseas) then that makes a lot of sense. The ratings for the U.S. version were fine for a summer show if not consistent on top of which it's cheap to make. TAR is in the can; it will air when it airs. And production is confident they're making a 33rd.

Sorry to ask, but 'huh?' If those were strained that badly, we wouldn't have had seasons beyond those. CBS puts the show where they need to. The show never died. In fact, it's moved from Fridays since.
Everything in this post is a diatribe against CBS over mistreatment of a property that the network has been handling for 19 years and continues to. You flip back and forth between worrying about players and crew (which means you want episodes) and crying out that CBS is a bad home for it (which means you'd rather CBS not air it?). I promise I'm not some sort of CBS shill or something, but this is literally just a TV show. Life goes on. TAR isn't going anywhere, but to have literal outrage for the network making the show demanding that they air it is insane. The show isn't ours-- it's theirs. They are not beholden to us. Frankly, if they decide not to air it at all, that's well within their means. Then what? It's all good because they'll have given their answer and spare the cast and crew the worry? They won't have to mishandle it anymore? Phew. Problem solved.
I know this is taking things to a bit of an extreme, but frankly, this overwhelming disdain, finger-pointing, and worry for the cast and crew over the inevitable airing of a reality TV show is equally extreme. There's so much more to worry about in life. Not to mention episodes of TARCAN, TARAU, and others continuing to be produced. Last year had more TAR than a typical year. And still it's not enough.

I totally understand your counterpoints and that I should take a breather and calm down over CBS' decisions. At the end of the day, it's a television series we all entertain our thoughts over in our leisure and what their word goes. I'm still baffled why The Amazing Race remains one of the only shows with the most timeslot shifts instead of a "staple" (in one consistent airtime) show throughout the years. I acknowledge the Viacom and CBS merger that happened just months ago and existing executives have to meet new executives, but I'm wondering why 32 is still idle this late when other shows are smooth sailing regardless of these new ideas being pitched. The last season has already pushed the time between filming and airing to about a year. I put more questions and critical thinking to myself than an English textbook, and would be happy to know if the series is still in considerations or not. It's just how I think.
