8 teams remained... It's march 2021. No Coronavirus.
7 out of 8 teams are available for filming. These 7 teams will be continue to race...
Another 6 legs will be filmed.
No exotic countries, long distance flights, the motto is "finish it cheap".
5 legs in North/South America, 6th leg in USA.
CBS already spend and lost ton of money on this season. They could try to make at least some small profit of it if possible.
All what they should do is just finish this when possible by filming just 5 or 6 another legs.

March 2021, one of the dating couples have become the married couple (& the lady is pregnant), the Showmance couple have been asked back on their show All-Stars and the daughter of the Father/Daughter team has gone back to University.
Now we are short three teams out of the original eight. What happens now? Even if they come back right, some relationships may have changed in the interim, how do you overwrite?

I only have been watching live since Season 26 however I have since almost every season. Is it just me, or is anyone else very scare. Do you guys think CBS will put off Amazing Race, then one day they will announce the show is cancelled because we all know Amazing Race is in the bottom tier of CBS shows in CBS' eyes. Anyone that has watched the show for over 10 years tell me if you think.

I'm sure CBS is not happy with what's been happening... this is likely millions of dollars lost because of the production halt.
At this point, worst case scenario is: CBS quietly cancels TAR, TAR33 never resumes filming and the 3 episodes filmed never see the light of day, TAR32 never airs (or at the very least gets dumped in one go on All-Access with no promotion) and TAR US never sees the light of day again. Worst case scenario right here.
Best case scenario: the coronavirus clears up, production resumes by April, TAR 33 completes filming from where they left off on episode 4 onward and they get to promote the season/specifically episode 3 ending on a cliff hanger/episode 4 as a big event which may draw in ratings when it finally airs. TAR32 airs in the summer/Fall. TAR 33 airs in the Fall/Winter 2021. TAR 34 and TAR 35 are filmed back-to-back and CBS starts finally filming/airing two season a year once again. A long shot I know... but I did say this was best case scenario.
So take the worse case scenario and the best case scenario... realistically what would be a good middle ground?
dryedmangoez:
Realistically, CBS doesn't even need TAR33 until 2021, even with the threat of a Writers Strike.
TAR32 could air anytime between May and the end of the year.
It would be pretty embarrassing for CBS to cancel TAR and use the Coronavirus as the excuse. They had plenty of reason to cancel the show when the ratings were terrible between 24-29. Then 30 came along in the best timeslot it had in years and 31 did just about as well as other CBS primetime shows are doing now. So there's actually less reason for CBS to cancel TAR now than the last couple of years.
Budget concerns will ultimately be what decides TAR's fate. And literally every other TAR in the world has shown that you can produce a solid show even with a smaller budget. So if they run a tight ship, get the sponsors and local incentives needed to keep costs down, maintain okay ratings which translate to good ad rates, then TAR remains a good benchwarmer for the network.

Until we have time to see what this means for TAR Season 33, RFF will be doing everything possible to support our Amazing Race Family.
For now, this means that our Discussions of the Race. The Route and Tasks, and MOST important our Beloved Contestants have all been moved to a safe place.
We will have to see how this unfolds...but as always, our first responsibility is to be sure that none of our Contestant reveals and discussions would interfere with a chance to resume the race at some point.
This event is heartbreaking for all of our TAR 33 Family, and RFF will do whatever we can to support our TAR FAMILY during this time.
Thank you all for understanding. I know all of you here love TAR with a passion, and will join us in fully supporting everyone involved with TAR 33.
Love you all!
