1. CBS sees they may not have enough inventory to fill its Fall schedule. (Especially Survivor)
2. Would get a great timeslot and likely against thin competition if other shows can't go into production in time.
3. TAR is a better and easier title to sell to advertisers in a Fall slot. It is an established show and a safer bet than either of the new shows they announced. (Including Phil's new show.)
     2a. TAR would make more ad moneys in the Fall than in the Summer.
4. CBS wants to premiere "Tough as Nails" as an inspirational show during this time. Especially since it features America's blue collar workers I believe. Probably best not to have Phil on two different shows at the same time. (Though he could certainly become CBS' Gordon Ramsey of course lol)

What you're saying makes a lot of sense now that I've had a few minutes to digest the news. Being on in the fall could turn out to be the best news for TAR in years. As for your last comment about Phil vs Gordon Ramsey, I can't see Phil erupting and cussing at teams 5 or 10 times per show.  :funny:

Nah, if anything CBS might even pull All-Access shows to rerun on CBS itself. They wouldn't dump TAR on All Access, especially now.

It's actually turned out very positive for TAR that CBS has held on TAR32 this long. It has a chance to be one of the few shows with new episodes on broadcast primetime in the Fall. But CBS won't be able to capitalize on any possible renewed boost the show might get if TAR33 can't go into production any time soon. We'll just have to wait and see.

Lmh1988:
I expect we may get Big Brother in the fall as well, I think it could be a big boost for both shows. If Amazing Race knocks it out of the park in the fall as I expect it to, this could be the way we get back to two seasons per year. This scheduling could be a huge blessing for the Race.

Xoruz:
I can see the benefits in airing as a Survivor replacement, but it's still annoying that CBS made the first announcement. Still, I feel terrible for the teams having to wait two years for their season to air. At the very least we'll still have another show with Phil. Part of me was surprised at first that TAR was originally scheduled before Tough as Nails considering it's a show honoring essential workers.
