Thanks for the post. But as far as I know:

Casting is now YEAR AROUND.

Dates for 38 are not yet confirmed as far as I know. There was consideration for November but that is obviously off, and dates have not been confirmed to the best of my knowledge. My best GUESS right now is spring-ish.

Jesse did make a post awhile back but as far as I know any date was not confirmed.

Let's stand by for more info!

Thank you for letting us know! I want to apply, but I would only be able to participate if it's summer filming. Ever since Jesse posted it, I have checking the casting website for filming and call back dates.

Also can confirm #TAR38 will feature Big Brother alum + loved one teams. Starting hearing rumors in the fall. A lot of players were contacted, some of whom are under contract by other networks and had to decline. Some declined for other reasons ($$). Casting finals just happened in L.A. The teams competing will be finalized any day now. Filming starts in March.

If it airs in the fall, hopefully they will film 39 in the fall and we get that next spring or summer. They are currently casting for that so that should be normal people. Then season 40 can be one final all-stars or maybe the elusive all-winners season. I personally can't see the show going much past season 40.

Just my opinion. TV economics have changed. The show isn't owned by CBS so it isn't very profitable with dwindling ratings. Reality shows are really getting hit hard recently. Bertram is 85 years old. I just feel like we're winding down the last few years here. 40 is a nice number to aim for. Maybe I'll be wrong.

People have worried about the ending of the show online since Season 3.  I wouldn't worry until they announce it's done.  I thought Australia wouldn't come back this year; they announced the next one last week.

I feel the opposite.  Ratings turn out hand-over-fist for CBS' reality-star-heavy shows like 'The Traitors' and 'The Challenge'.  If this pulls people in, then I'm all for it.  It's very likely a vocal minority who don't care, outright for BB players.  I'd wager most don't know them at all.

Post by: LandonM170 on February 08, 2025, 12:09:19 PM
While I would much rather have an all-newbie or all-star season, if they cast this right, it could be good. When I first heard the news, I was a little upset, but it is nice that it will not be teams of BB players (only one BB player per team).

Angela (BB26) is a must! Please, please, please let her get cast!

I think they should take both Bigbrother and Survivor players. TAR 31 was a great season, but the return TAR racers, just had the edge, because they played before.

People going the streaming route instead of watching live television contributes to this. 2020s viewers want a "multiverse" and are attached to competition personalities. TAR hasn't yet found a way to carve this same viewing experience on streaming to grow its fanbase. It's very much still a TV-broadcast event for a majority of viewers.

The issue with exclusively casting BB alumni is twofold:
1) It's a casting pool of ~400 people, and looking for 13 teams gives each former HG an incredibly high chance of being cast, which really feels quite unfair when you consider the amount of people still auditioning for TAR. When you add in people like Janelle/Xavier/Danielle complaining about the stipend, it makes the issue all the more acute -- people have been auditioning for years, you get a golden opportunity, and you decline and publicly complain about the compensation? Tone-deaf and ungrateful, if you ask me, and I follow BB live feed updates, so it's not like I'm the poster child of TAR casual fan anti-BB bias.

2) It's a casting pool of ~400 people, and Big Brother, in my opinion, casts the least interesting people of the CBS big 3. Factoring in declines from big names like the aforementioned 3, and it's hard to see CBS filling a cast of 13 teams, especially when you try to reach 50% BIPOC and consider just how bad BB was at casting people of color for an incredibly long stretch of its production (mainly BB14 through 19, +21). I personally don't see a way towards a good cast (i.e. Survivor Blood vs. Water) as opposed to a thoroughly uncharismatic cast (i.e. The Challenge: Bloodlines) without increasing the pool to Survivor alumni. Survivor casting, especially in the New Era, has some incredibly compelling pre-mergers who are unlikely to get a call for 50.
Title: Re: TAR 38 News
Post by: TARUSAFan on February 09, 2025, 10:15:57 PM
I'm aware TAR does recruits, some of them casted were very bland. On the Amazing Race IG, they did a screening in Atlanta with 2 teams present S.37 (Nick & Mike Fiorito - Brothers/Podcasters), they've been auditioning for the last 7 years. Han & Holden on the other hand, auditioned once. Is it really that hard to find good casting for TAR? I follow the Brothers prior to them appearing on TAR and they are pleasant, they use their platform for good causes. There were people whom auditioned for TAR initially but got switched to Survivor instead, I remember, Parvati Shallow auditioned with a friend before getting cast on Survivor. She is a legend in Survivor, I've watched her on Traitors. I wonder how she'll do on TAR though. I'm curious how do they do these castings, why do we get boring teams? Survivor on the other hand has had really good casting in the New Era alone. We've had so much people noteworthy, even from pre-mergers. The last season for instance they had had some really great people from Sam, Genevieve, Rachel, Andy, Anika, even the 1st boot, Jon.

On a different note, why not TAR experiment on how The Challenge or the Traitors does their casting. I mean, rather than focusing on just Survivor or BB. Why not get notable personalities from other shows. They need to evolve. TAR Australia, did the Celebrity Edition, back-to-back.

It's not everyone's cup of tea obviously, but since there are 13-14 Teams, why not cast half-half, still include newbies in the mix.
Title: Re: TAR 38 News
Post by: Jro on February 09, 2025, 10:20:20 PM
I will say, I used to watch amazing race as a kid, but never really religiously and i think i stopped watching around season 24. It was season 30, when I saw that jessica and Cody from big brother were being cast, that lured me into getting super into it/watching it religiously.

I feel like casting teams from big brother or survivor brings in more viewers, at least for the respective season that they're on, than it loses.

On the topic that it's unfair to the people who apply, it is, but people get recruited for every show. People have had problems with it on big brother, for example, for years. That's just how it all works. Having reality tv show teams on TAR feels no different.

That said, I do think it should stay a once in a while thing.

I see absolutely no issue with this. It objectively will bring in more viewers than it will lose viewers, and if this helps TAR survive, then so be it. Like it or not, Big Brother has a lot of fans, and this will incentivize them to watch The Amazing Race. We know that they are returning to normal casting for TAR39 based on casting producers' social media posts, so regular people like you and I will still get their chance.

I honestly feel like the only way we can realistically get 2 seasons of TAR a year now are by one season of “stunt casting” and one season of everyday teams.

Hi..i feel that the BIG , big brother news shoud have come when they are filming the next day or week. There are roughly 20 days to March ,and we dont know the date exactly...

It is definitely anxiety inducing .Most times we know filming is taking place the day of the  first sighting.

This feels very ,very different..but am very  excited to for the new relatives . They are new to us .And just like celeb australia i liked thr relatives better .

You know, when i posted my take the other day, i didnt actually scroll up to see the context and missed the confirmation that the 38 cast was made of big brother alum and loved ones LOL. I thought it was just speculation. Now I understand.

Interesting concept. I do find it cool when there's one team, but an entire cast of big brother teams, idk about that. I do think it'll bring some fans to TAR though, I dont think it'll be an entirely bad thing, but meh, not a fan of an ENTIRE cast of them.

If they're each racing with a loved one, that's at least decently interesting.

Wait...I just had an epiphany....Cory from big brother 25 and his brother zach from survivor 42 sent in an audition tape a while back.... or at least recorded themselves on twitch creating a video. i wonder if they're going to be on. It fits the big brother alumni and a loved one theme.

I mean, no sense in speculating lol

To add to this, America, Cory’s girlfriend (I assume they are still together?) is on the new season of the challenge which started filming yesterday. Maybe they are each filming a new show?

About the casting.... im aware with TAR alum basically didnt have a strong post-show community, unlike Survivor and Big Brother (idk if i phrased this right), so they need stunt casting instead of cast for an all stars season

but i dont get why its just BB exclusive, is it because its so close to Survivor 50 or what, but they can get away with riding the coattails of House of Villains or The Traitors and just cast bunch of people from reality tv adjacent shows that bring entertainment.

Anyway i just hope for decent cast and great route (and praying they finally get back to Africa soon)

I'm wondering why the choice to only focus on one show too. :idgit I feel if they want to have an influx of chaotic and memorable racers (as BB casts are intended to stir up) and better yet, gain a more vocal streaming audience, they should look into other shows and follow the House of Villains/Traitors/The Challenge guidelight. There are more lively personas from MTV (Challenge, Shores, Love & Hip Hop, RuPaul's Drag Race, Ex On The Beach, Ink Master) who aren't afraid to speak their thoughts on camera and are naturally competitive/clash-prone. I wouldn't mind a couple of The Summit and Tough As Nails duos either if this were the case.

You know, that's probably the issue exactly. Every Survivor alum who thinks they have even an outside shot at Season 50 is probably saying no to anything that would be a potential conflict, especially if its stipend is lower. I saw a Jeff Probst interview within the last week saying that they had a list of 200, cut to 100, in the process of being narrowed down to 50. People who were in the top 200 and not 50 might not know that yet; and even if they do know that they're out of the running, they might not have known back when TAR38's cast was being finalized.

To go off of this, Jeff has said he favors players who are "loyal" to Survivor, so it would make sense if Survivor people were saying no.

The #TAR38 cast, which will feature Big Brother players and loved ones, leaves for sequester today. I'm actually a little more excited than I thought I would be, but everyone's expectations are different!

I'm stoked. I hope they got the more popular BB Contestants. If this twist meant bringing in more viewers, then so be it.

I honestly have pretty low expectations. I mean, they did decently well in TAR 31 but I'm expecting to see some random names that nobody expects. Esp because they have to pay to get these people, which is crazy to think about since some people would pay to be on the show LOL

Just wanted to let people know that this afternoon Zach Wurtenberger was on a twitch live playing games so is probably confirmed not on lol. It’s possible that Cory could still be on with someone else though.

How long are they in sequester typically?

Just under a week. Also if you're wondering, this involves cast photos, preseason interviews, security checking teams' bags, and camera tests with mock challenges in the sequester hotel.

I am assuming phones are not allowed in sequester?

Yes, that's when they give up their phones.

Welcome!

If it is an all BB season I hope we get some old school legends and not only people from the last few seasons.

People in the know abt teams have said that overwhelming majority of the cast is players from last 5 years unfortunately.

Typically seems like the casting any time there is an “All-Stars”/reality TV version, it’s all recent seasons. I know why they’re doing it, but I wish they would also go back a bit for some long time fans. Like on TAR 31, getting Colin & Christie was such a wonderful surprise, but I wish we could have gotten more teams from way back when too. I always thought for Unfinished Business, the top pick for a team on that season should have been Lena & Kristy for obvious reasons, but they didn’t want to go back that far. Hopefully they’ll start reaching back farther for teams/cast members from other shows one of these days.

Any chance that this season there will be a locations-only spoiler-free thread for those of us that don't like to know the boot order?

Shocked we got a premiere date for 38, before a date was announced for the also already filmed Australian season.

Interesting that we are getting a THU premiere, followed by normal WED airing.
Probably avoids a shift for the airing of the finale;

Very excited to hear that we've got a premiere date for TAR38!  :conf: :cheer:

And the best thing is, I have a public holiday when the premiere episode will air (Friday morning my time), meaning I can watch the episode live!  :woohoo:

Shocked we got a premiere date for 38, before a date was announced for the also already filmed Australian season.

Expect an announcement of TAR Australia 9's premiere date sometime in the new two weeks! :wink:

“THE AMAZING RACE” HOST PHIL KEOGHAN INVITES SOME OF “BIG BROTHER’S” FIERCEST FORMER COMPETITORS TO EXIT THE HOUSE AND RACE IN THE REAL WORLD, ON THE 38TH SEASON PREMIERE OF “THE AMAZING RACE,” THURSDAY, SEPT. 25 ON CBS

The Emmy® Award-Winning Series Kicks Off on a Special Night, Thursday, Sept. 25 (9:00-10:30 PM, ET/PT), and Begins Its Regular Wednesdays on Oct. 1 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT)

Thirteen Former “Big Brother” Houseguests Will Compete in a Special European Adventure with Their Favorite Travel Companion

THE AMAZING RACE host Phil Keoghan invites some of BIG BROTHER’s fiercest former competitors to exit the house and race in the real world when 13 fan-favorite houseguests embark on a European adventure with their travel companion, on the 38th season of the CBS Original series THE AMAZING RACE, Thursday, Sept. 25 (9:00-10:30 PM, ET/PT). The Emmy® Award winner moves to its regular Wednesday time period on Wednesday, Oct. 1 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

The Houseguests-turned-Racers kick off the season in Amsterdam where they face classic game pieces and unexpected twists right off the bat. For the first time in THE AMAZING RACE history, teams face their first challenge before even lining up on the starting line –the first team to complete the task receives an express pass and the last team to complete the task faces the consequences of a Hazard. Along the route, teams will reach new heights in Prague, bathe like a king in Budapest and skydive nearly 13,000 feet over Romania.

“THE AMAZING RACE takes the Racers and viewers on an unforgettable journey,” said co-creators and executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri. “With a traveling crew of over 100 people, over the course of 38 seasons, we have traveled to nearly 100 countries and over 1 million miles, an extraordinary feat of storytelling and logistics. For this season, it was fun to bring the former BIG BROTHER players out of the house and on an adventure in the real world, as the Race is a global triumph that continues to inspire and connect people all over the world.”
