TAR 33 (2nd Try!) Bitch, Moan, and Squeal HERE! (Spoilers)
OMGitsGARRET:
Definitely thinking the 2-hour premiere is just legs 1 + 2 aired back-to-back. The leg in London seems far too short to warrant stretching over 2-hours. Now maybe if the TAR32 premiere was 2-hours, I could see the leg 1 Trinidad & Tobago leg fitting that since that leg had so much going on in it + it had a mid-leg Overnight Rest, but definitely not for TAR33. If anything, this makes me think that the premiere will end on a cliffhanger of the production shutdown at the very end of the episode.
Also, the last time TAR aired in January opposite the Olympics was season 30 back in 2018, so I assume that this season will have a very similar schedule to that one. If anyone remembers, TAR30 aired 12 legs in just 8 weeks. They doubled up 2-hours a night four times to burn through the season quickly for Survivor to start, so I think that will happen again here. Survivor 42 is set to premiere March 9 so I think the TAR33 finale will be one week earlier on March 2. So this season will air over 9 weeks if that's the case, just one week longer than TAR30.
Personally I'm not a big fan of CBS doubling up the episodes, I like to enjoy each episode as it's own standalone leg, but I guess if they want to burn the season off before Survivor, starting off with doubling the premiere (which only happened once back in TAR15) is what they're gonna do. The only other thing I wonder is how many legs were shot this season, if it's still the usual 12, or if it was less. If it was less then there will be less double episodes than TAR30 for sure.
theschnauzers:
Keep in mind TAR33’s time slot is 9PM eastern not Survivor’s 8pm time slot.
CBS is doing a lot of burn off programming in the 8pm time slot before and during the Beijing Winter Olympics in February, such as Price Is Right Primetime and Celebrity Big Brother so don’t expect a lot of ratings help with the lead ins. There are nine Wednesdays from the beginning of January until Survivor premieres in March, so I suspect two hours for the premiere, two hours for the finale, and one other two hour block (for a total of 12 episodes). Possible that could be the second week to address the changes due to the pandemic and the production suspension and any cast issues. But that’s just speculation on my part. I can’t imagine them ignoring the reality of the changes that were necessary to complete filming the season.
Maanca:
I figured it was gonna be a Eurocentric route, but it's better than nothing, at least they didn't get desperate enough to churn something out to settle on a home country route.
