I wonder if those racers will even be back. NDA classified info, but who knows what other stuff they have planned now after the production period is over.

No one has posted this yet, but interesting interview with a production member of The Amazing Race season 33 on the shutdown/coronavirus. The TAR talk is mostly in the first five minutes of the video.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-He believes he may have contracted the coronavirus whilst out filming TAR33.
-Confirmed: 3 episodes had been finished filming
-Filming concluded in Glasgow, Scotland. The cast and crew were sequestered there for several days before finally flying back home to the United States.
-The route was NOT fully determined/set in stone by the time filming had started. There were multiple countries and routes possible.
-The next few legs were supposed to take place "somewhere cold in Northern Europe," somewhere in "Northern Italy" and "South America."
-The ENTIRETY of Asia was set to be skipped. No Asian countries were in contention for the season.
-CBS cancelled the season after the outbreak in Italy got worse, as there was a leg set to take place there.

3 Legs filmed in 1 Country? United Kingdom... Well, that's a first for the US Franchise if it is true. (excluding Family Edition)
Kinda not happy about it though.
Kiwi Jay:
I'm sure it will be an interesting three legs even so. I remain hopeful that 33 will be able to resume filming in 2021. There are myriad possibilities of issues with cast and route, but I know they can cope!
georgiapeach:
There are a lot of issues here. Some teams may have contractual work issues that would prevent them from just being able to set off again. We just do NOT know. Venues will have likely changed. Countries may not welcome film crews at the desired time.
Hopefully we can pick right up...but that may/may not be able to happen. I am sure WRP will have new contingency plans, just please don't jump to a lot of conclusions that everything will be the same without firm evidence.

I do hope that it’s interesting. I’m just not that fond of revisiting locations that were recently visited on the Race. It’s just a sort of minor preference but if the leg design and tasks are great I wouldn’t mind at all. I have a soft spot for United Kingdom. I just admire this country very much. I’m most especially excited of the Glasgow leg.
