The producers had a backup of legs in South America and intended on using them if necessary if things got worse with the pandemic during the filming of TAR33.

Yeah this was my recollection as well, it wasn't particularly clear when using South America came into the mix but it also wasn't on the original route. It sounded like a last ditch attempt to finish the season off in a somewhat remote fashion.

The quote from BVM about 'hearing from production teams in Austria, Vietnam, South America...' was the only evidence ever provided, and people ran with that and created fake routes that were only spec but claimed to be real and the original planned route. It just doesn't make any sense. They have never done Asia to South America in the show's history. Plus, SA was heavily used in s32. Makes much more sense that SA was backup plans for covid, as has been stated here.

I believe Kim and Penn confirmed on their podcast with Phil that Nepal was planned for 33 given that they had a visa in their passport, though it was cancelled for obvious circumstances.

To be fair, the show has purchased more passports than necessary as precaution in case of logistical issue and to ensure teams aren't fully aware of the route.

Not anymore. In one of many cost cutting measures, teams only get the visas of countries the show plans to visit. 33 only had Nepal, and 27 apparently only had Zimbabwe.

One of the last seasons without visa restrictions was 22; incidentally, the "no-rebooking" rule for flight scrambles only surfaced during 25.

It is NORMAL that they have multiple visas to keep them confused. Absolutely does NOT guarantee they were going there. Sadly lol.
