DISCUSSION of TAR 33 SUSPENSION DUE TO COVID (may contain location spoilers)

fossil-racer:
IMO, They should have not filmed in the beginning. Now it's become a mess.

georgiapeach:
BVM has posted on my FB saying basically no choice...

You should be able to see it even if we are not FB friends as its public:

I ♥ TAR:
I wonder what will happen with 3 already filmed episodes... Will they be released some day? at CBS ALL ACCES maybe? or this will be really our lost season?

RachelLeVega:
My heart goes out to all involved on the race and the decision WRP made was truly a relief. There's nothing a single hero could have possibly done to prevent the virus from spreading even more and this was the best and most sensible move for now. I'm just glad everyone is, hopefully, safe. I know people on here have talked about the Chinese version of TAR transplanting teams back to locations because of contractual circumstances that paused the race so perhaps this could be done when the viral spread reaches a conclusion. Flying the teams back out to the UK when all this coronavirus chaos is contained and treated right seems like the only other option besides full trash chuting this season.

I didn't -not- expect TAR to be worrisome this filming cycle with the medico political stuff in play, but I didn't expect TAR to be taken out like this. Honestly, even a "Family Edition" style race within the U.S. would be risky because there are confirmed cases here as well.

The problem goes far deeper than just returning them to the last leg.

It takes WEEKS of planning for each leg. Ground crew/locations/permits/local staff/hotels/medical backup. All of which is based on a SPECIFIC date.

For EACH leg highly likely that ALL of that would have to be redone.

I have full confidence in WRP...but starting this all over, reassembling a full production team, resetting the planned tasks seems overwhelming. It is just like starting over.
