This thread is the WORKZONE of our spoilers.
This is where ALL the spoiler speculation/discussion of the TAR 33 race goes, NOT in the LIVE thread. It is where we try to thrash out what the LIVE sightings mean.
(If the start is LIVE, then we will use that thread for all sightings Start to Airport Departure.)
ALL Discussion of the LIVE Sightings and comments on them go here!
As always, per RFF's practices, we do not spoil the start location (if known) or any teams until it is believed that the teams are safely underway. We would never want to put a team in jeopardy or cause them distress or interfere with the actual running of the race. Info on future legs may also occasionally be protected for those reasons. But if you have info to share beforehand, we would love to know, so please feel free to PM or email me! Spoilers are treasured!
This thread will be opened once the race is beginning. (not yet! :0328: )

NO POSTING UNTIL THE FIRST SIGHTING !

So, is London confirmed as our Leg 1 destination at this point, or is that still speculation at this point? ???

Not 100% but we have information suggesting London...

Is it possible there were multiple start lines depending on the racers’ hometowns, like TAR28?
Lulu & Lala and Ray & Caro live in New Jersey, so they and that third team could be the batch flying out of JFK. Then the Charlotte group could be people from the south. And then there would also be an LA group somewhere

This tweet (https://twitter.com/jrg1990/status/1231366240293265409) was from JFK as it was tagged in Queens, NY.
This sighting (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,36068.msg1266191.html#msg1266191) sure does look like Charlotte.

There must be multiple Starting Lines again, ala TAR28!
West Coast teams could fly out from LA, Southern teams from Charlotte & Eastern teams from NYC! Could Chicago be a possible location for any teams from the Central US or would they of also flown out from JFK?

I was thinking the same thing too. It sounds like there are sightings at multiple airports - here's a thought - perhaps 2-3 groups of teams start out from different areas of the States all coordinate to meet together at the same place, say London?
-
Do we know what flights they are taking to London?

Or they are doing the same thing as the most recent TAR Australia with an international starting line.

I think europe - west africa - europe route TAR12/17/25/30 style is posibillity with UK as rumoured first destination.

Oh! That's an idea!

Interesting that Marissa & Marianela (pink FF twins) were spotted in LA yesterday doing pre-season interviews but today was spotted at NYC airport and not LAX... hm?
Are we sure the starting line wasn't at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, where the their interviews were filmed?
I wonder if it's a case of just having multiple flights to London (connecting through Charlotte, Chicago, NYC, ect) based upon a Starting Line challenge?

That’s exactly what I was about to post! Maybe it’s not multiple starting lines and there are multiple flights, which would be exciting

That's what I was thinking. This seems more like a case of multiple flights than a virtual start. The virtual start in TAR28 was to fit the theme which doesn't carry over to fit a group of what is now considered normal teams.

The Arboretum shoot was on the 19th

I think europe - west africa - europe route TAR12/17/25/30 style is posibillity with UK as rumoured first destination.
Or at least a few Europe legs, Southern Africa and parts of Asia (thus would skip Middle East due to nCOV cases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and UAE and most of South Asia), probably a reverse TAR 31 route. Possibilty could be Europe -> Africa -> Asia (Southeast Asia cross into Indian Ocean) -> Oceania -> Asia (for a penultimate leg maybe in Japan).
The last three seasons are four continent race consecutively. Hopefully this time, it could be a 5-continent race.
-
They can skip Asia entirely and jump to Oceania from Africa. That would be fresh.
-
I think europe - west africa - europe route TAR12/17/25/30 style is posibillity with UK as rumoured first destination.
My guess would be Europe --> Africa --> Oceania --> South America. They've gotta be careful though, with the coronavirus.
-
I don't think an international start line makes sense, production has clearly been filming team interactions within each airport. The race is almost certainly on.
-
Hmmm...Love Islanders, radio hosts, and viral cops. I'm definitely sensing a casting theme

So cool if they did that!
-
At the rate the coronavirus is being reported in various countries especially with the release of passengers, including those infected from the cruise ship in Japan, and reports of cases in Italy, the production concern leg by leg will have to be exposure going through air, ship, and train terminals. One report I read today in a news feed was that the virus can live on undisinfected surfaces for up to nine days. And the incubation period has not been determined. So avoiding east Asia may not be enough. IIRC, cases have been reported in Iran.
If we haven’t accounted for all teams yet for US departure cities then we may want to look at other cities that fly direct to London, eg Miami, Dallas, Atlanta. IIRC there were more than three airports involved in teams flying to Mexico City at the beginning of TAR 28.

That would be awesome route, but logistically kind of nightmare, I think? Flights would be really expensive as well. Can't see that happening. I think South America is out from this season.

It'd be a 1st for the US Version! You've got South Africa & Mauritius with flights to Australia!

Are we sure that Michael & Moe aren’t the same people as the other African-American male/male team? I mean, what are the odds of TWO AA M/M teams dressed in all blue?
-

Pretty sure it's 2 different teams.
4 afroamerican teams this season.
-
I think most of the East Asia countries are not ok tbh
Maybe they will do it like Season 7?
Completely ignore East Asia?
-
4 black teams and 1 mixed.. Makes it 9 African - Americans...this season has the most African Americans #blackHistoryMonth #AmazingRace 33

Wonder if the first leg will be NEL. If they're starting from all over the US like TAR28, it kinda should be for the sake of fairness.
-

There seems to have been a production hold for the teams at Heathrow, so they’d be released together as one group. Meaning the first leg might not be an NEL.
Speculation but there may be other British, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish legs after leg 1, especially with it being a nighttime leg. This would also make sense if there are planned legs in the Southern Hemisphere that will consume time. There’s al sorts of possibilities that would work.
-
I can confirm they stayed at Heathrow and bunched up before releasing them together.
-
I don't go on this site for 1 day and they go to London, it's always the way.
-
An Australia/New Zealand leg could be likely considering Asia may be off limits and it’s summer in Oceania at the moment. The fires and floods in Australia would not affect the race in any of the major cities. The one issue is London being so similar to Australia/New Zealand. Would they have 2 English speaking countries in one season?
-
They have done previously, so it doesn’t seem too far fetched. Both countries haven’t been hit by coronavirus very hard, so I too think they could be visited!
-
We shouldn't be that confident about Australia & Ocenia visit guys, lol. Yeah, it may happen because of coronavirus, but still...
I could see them doing TAR7 kind of route without crossing the globe as well.
Europe, Africa, maybe middle east and then South America for last legs...
-
The season would be the perfect opportunity to visit new European countries. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Latvia, Belarus, Lithuania...

An Andorra leg would be awesome. They could connect it to or from a leg in Barcelona. And then go down to Africa.
-
They could possibly do a TAR 17 and go to a country in West Africa again?

And even South Africa too. Almost 10 percent of its population speak English as their first language, it is one of the few countries has 11 official languages: English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Venda, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Tsonga, Ndebele, Tswana and Swati. English is the official language in South Africa along with Afrikaans and that would make 3 English speaking countries.

I’d love to see Cape Verde or revisit to Senegal.
-
Even there could be a chance for a Spain revisit. Madrid is one of the Spanish cities hasn't yet visited in TAR. There is a slight chance for Barcelona being revisited once more as it hasn't had a full leg in TAR.

Madrid is a great choice during this time as it can get very hot in other months.
With Barcelona, I feel like it’s best suited in summer months given its coastal vibe.

I hate how people compare London to cities in Australia! No! Australia is so much different from the UK, it isn't even funny! :funny:
Australia or New Zealand have a high chance of being visited around possibly Leg 8/9. Maybe Melbourne or Tasmania? I don't want to get my hopes up, as it will probably not happen... as usual!
I don't think they'll go to Asia at all on this route. Too risky with the coronavirus! Expect to see Africa as the next continent, after 3-4 legs in Europe possibly? I could see South Africa as hosting 2 legs, before teams jet off to Australia or New Zealand! And there are flights from Jo'burg to Perth and from Perth, you can travel to major cities on the East Coast of Australia! (Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne...)
-
Can we pray for a visit to Central Asia for the 2nd season in a row. It is the only part of Asia that has 0 cases of COVID-19. And maybe NZ + the sovereign Pacific nations for the first time?
-
I can also see going to South America at legs 9 10 after Australia New Zealand.
Keep in mind part of the coronial virus threat is through airports on international flights and remaining viable on untreated surfaces for up to 9 days on such surfaces. So that is enough time to flame up at a location now that filming has begun. And I’m confident production is doing everything they can to make sure production keeps themselves safe from the biohazard while traveling, especially as, historically, production teams may be leapfrogging the teams to planned primary and secondary back up legs.
I cannot even imagine how Bertram, Elise and company are having to deal with this.

A visit in Gold Coast would be possible, that would be simplify to have two Australia legs in the race. Gold Coast will be seen in the current Bachelor season.

Good Job Kiwi!!! Hope you had fun last night! :conf:
Question regarding the last two teams: Givin they are only 3 mins apart, did you see the girls check in? Or you saw them go in, and then nothing. I'm asking because we never really know until it airs, but they can pull a Misa/Maiya and pass in front of Phil and not see him. I hope not, because we only have 2 F/F but it's worth keeping in mind if we don't see them again in future legs.
-
If they are doing Africa to Oceania then there are frequent direct flights from Johannesburg to Perth, Western Australia. Alternatively they could go Afica to Mauritius for a leg then Mauritius to Perth. and from Perth they can connect to most places in Australia.
-
Love all the enthusiasm! But please be careful NOT to turn this into just a location wishlist. We have one of those.
Intelligent discussion about where they could actually go (place X to Z) based on what we know about their locations and flights is great and highly useful!

Europe --> South America --> Africa --> Oceania
I'll throw this out as well, since there's a lot of connections from Europe to South America.
From South America, they can hop to Africa from Brazil since Sao Paulo has direct flights to Johannesburg, Addis Ababa or Luanda.
From Africa to Oceania, only South Africa & Mauritius offer flights to Australia.
-
Did 2nd leg start already?

If they are starting the leg from the Natural History Museum, it'll probably be at night after the museum closes in 35 minutes.

Unrelated... But Tyler Crispen really wants to be on tar

Could this season be Social Media Edition II?

I don't really think there is a theme. I think it's just coming down to the fact that casting is finding these certain types of people more often.

Anybody know if they departed for Leg 2 yet?

That would be getting more difficult on travel between Europe and South America, tickets are slightly expensive.
-
Would they avoid ALL ASIA, though? They could go West only...
-
I could foresee a jump from the Middle East to Australia (like the Oman to Australia jump in TAR 9). There are multiple connections from the Middle East to Australian cities. I think they'll avoid the UAE since there have been confirmed Coronavirus cases, so maybe we'll see Kuwait or Oman again, or a visit to Qatar.
That being said, I think we could see Europe --> Africa --> Europe --> Middle East --> Australia/Oceania

As soon as I post this, I find out about confirmed cases in Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait. Murphy's Law strikes again!
-
UAE ..8 cases of coronavirus is a totally different thing...not as many as China :d025: I guess they will go to countries where it's not that bad!!
-
Anybody know if they departed for Leg 2 yet?
They really should've by now. But if no one's seen anything in the airports, then perhaps they're staying in England for another leg. Maybe going to its more rural areas, where those who can spot them will be few and far between?
-
Anybody know if they departed for Leg 2 yet?
Assuming the teams could be in Spain, an underused European country unlike the overused France/Germany/Italy/Netherlands/Switzerland leg(s).
-

The Uk has 13 cases, however in these countries it’s contained.
The only nations they’ll defo have to avoid is Italy, Iran, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore & Vietnam, however I reckon they’ll skip all of asia maybe except the Middle East.
-
I don’t see how the Middle East will be in play for security reasons. I personally think South Africa will finally get another visit, and they could go east or west in the Southern Hemisphere. We’re not done with the virus spreading by any means, especially with Iran and Italy being well connected for non American travelers. Let’s see what country they head to next. That alone will tell us something.
-
With 2 legs in the UK, one each in England and Scotland. Hoping there is a chance for a first time visit to Latvia.
-
For Asia, I think they are either avoiding it or going into some remote regions aka Maldives/Siberia (Vladivostock)
I also speculate they will do a TAR7 route.
-
If they go to Asia, they'll stick to Western/Central.

Regarding the new pic in Live!
When two teams arrive close/ or at the same time. Do the first team to arrive go to the left or the right? (Or it always changes? I'm just wondering which team arrived first between the two).
Also, could it be a face-off? I remember we had a sighting in S30 of the Lifeguards and the Basketball players in France at the same time. We didn't know then, but they were the last two teams. I would also match with the sighting of Phil's voice describing a task at the pitstop (or close by the pistop) Just some spec on my part.
-

Yes hoping for Bilbao or Madrid.
-
I could see a Madrid leg and then the teams taking a ferry to Tangier, Morocco. And that would open them up to a lot of African locations they could go to for the next few legs

With regards to a Head-to-Head, the eliminated teams have stood on both sides of the mat the past two seasons. In a footrace, teams stand where they land on the mat.
-

In Season 30, they went to Tangier, Morocco, so I don't think they will go to Tangier or even Morocco.
-
Not knowing all the locations, and given its impact on Scottish tourism since its premiere, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if a filming location used in Outlander shows up even if not mentioned. The economic impact has been that noticeable.
-
Unfourantly, Spain would not be Visted
-
The person on Reddit said they saw a team at the mat after they got out of class which means the two teams they saw before class (Kim & Penn and Akbar & Sheridan) are presumably safe.

The Reddit user said they saw them from a distance and I would think Akbar's beard would be more noticeable than Connie's partner.

I don't recognise any of those teams... Am I missing something

They’re the teams that have been identified

I have two options:
1.) Europe > South America > Africa > Oceania
2.) Europe > Africa > South America > Central America
-
The 2 teams here are that MM team from LAX and that all male team from Chicago. I'm thinking it was a footrace finish with the bags everywhere.
-

TAR 32 will have South America and Europe to be visited. As I think that would have 4 European legs that I say if the next leg would start by either today, I would have to think Latvia might be the next country as the race hasn't yet visited before. The majority would be in the Northern Hemisphere as there would expect some legs further down in Southern Hemisphere on the late summer season.
-

Pulling the exif data, it looks like these 2 teams arrived before the next few teams that were sighted by that reddit poster. All 4 teams are supposedly safe as the reddit poster saw one more team after the original 2 (an MF team and Penn/Kim).

The CDC just upgraded South Korea's travel warning and Delta just announced they're reducing flights (down to five a week from ATL, DTW, and SEA, completely pulling from MSP) , guess we can officially take it off the list of potential places.

Sam being a football coach makes me think even more that there is some sort of "Heroes" theme. What I'm struggling to think of is why Caro & Ray would be there...

Coronavirus has been reported in Rovaniemi, so probably not.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an Africa-heavy season because 31 and 32 had a combined total of one African leg
-
someone need check flights to see where we going
-
IIRC, Brazil had its first coronavirus case reported, a first also for South America.
-
There's a flight from Glasgow to Dublin that's leaving right about now. I see one to Frankfurt leaving soon, too. There's also one to Amsterdam leaving in a couple of hours, that could open up a lot of connecting possibilities. And I see Dubai.
Those were just a few cities that stood out to me on the list of flights departing from Glasgow tonight. Most of the flights are to London or other places in Scotland. They might not even have departed for Leg 3 yet :duno:
-
There was also a flight to Riga that left within the last few hours which could have been an option for a third leg. We will have to wait and see.

Ooh, I didn’t notice that one! I don’t wanna get my hopes up, but this would be a perfect time for the inaugural Latvia visit
-

Yes, that is correct. The man walked through Sao Paulo for 4 days before discovering about it.
Not having TAR news this long could mean they have gone to a remote location or are in a long flight (?)
I'm checking Twitter every hour. We'll find something.

What are the chances that the Coronavirus gets to be at such a point where they cancel the season and just send everyone home?

Low. I’m sure they have adequate plans in place for if the coronavirus gets worse
-
So the Leg 3 started?
-
Not yet. Yesterday was a rest day..they should be leaving Glasgow soon so all hands on deck!
-
Oh man, I’d assumed they were already traveling. I bet Leg 3 is close to Glasgow otherwise they probably would’ve spent today on connecting flights and such
-
I think Italy can be out of the TAR33 possible country
The coronavirus hit Italy very hard
This makes some of the Eastern Europe/Trans-Caucasian countries have very high possibility
In Asia,I think only Taiwan is the most viable option
Central Asia such as Uzbekistan may be good

Central Asia such as Uzbekistan may be good
Besides Central Asia and various off-limits Middle Eastern Countries (Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc). The only countries in Asian that have had no confirmed cases nor suspected cases are: Timor-Leste, Brunei, Laos, Bhutan, the Maldives, Jordan, Qatar and Armenia (the map on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak_by_country_and_territory is quite useful). Granted, just because a country has confirmed cases doesn't mean it's doing bad (India, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Nepal have made swift recoveries).
Granted, as soon as I post this I'm sure things will change. However, given just how untenable (most of) Asia has become, I would be surprised if we get many Asian legs. I would actually be shocked if there are more than two Asian legs this season.

It's honestly really screwed up if a country just closes its borders or stop flights from entering in a matter of hours. Imagine if, for example, teams are heading to Albania (currently 0 cases) and your flight gets cancelled or redirected. Or all teams are already in Albania and you have problems heading for another country. Or worse, imagine if some teams are forced to be quarantined and the whole season is canned for this year.
I assume everyone's mentally prepared for to this to stretch beyond the typical 21-25 days.
Perhaps the route will feature more countries in Africa, the Pacific and Latin America (but of course, in countries wih adequate healthcare systems). I suppose we will see more countries with double legs, just like TARAUS4.
-
That would be a great time to use Canada or any South American country that's not the center region of Brazil. Just saying...
-
I would strongly suggest consideration of where flights have to be connected to get from Country A to Country B on any future legs. At this point, the WHO has indicated this virus is edging towards a pandemic stage. The main focus has been to contain the transmission of the virus between places, and it’s a fact of life that you can have carriers who may not show symptoms or who have not sought medical attention. And that becomes more so as the CDC confirmed a US case yesterday where the patient had not traveled, and no one that person might have interacted with had not traveled or been exposed to this virus.
The bottom line remains there is not much were know about how this virus gets transmitted especially since it is being seen as a virus that is not an airborne transmitted virus.
I also have a impression that everything we’ve seen so far are substitutions that were not the original plan. (Yes, I mean the start, leg 1 and leg 2 but are better planned replacement legs. It’s just an impression on my part.
-
I saw a report today that stated the patient in the unknown origin case in California lived and worked in the Solano County area of California. That is the county that Travis AFB is located which was one of the locations where a plane chartered by the US State Department arrived on February 5.
The patient was in the hospital before being diagnosed and was transferred to another facility on Feb 19. That facility is where it was diagnosed 4 days later.
Suspicious but nothing definitive.
This will be an interesting season to track with all this going on around the world.

I agree about the start. It is possible that the multi-city start was a fairly last minute decision due to some production issues. Or I could be completely wrong lol.
I do think our first legs have been planned for awhile. We should be moving right along!
-
Canada deserves a visit imo but with two UK legs and them more than likely hitting up NZ and/or Australia, that might be too many Anglophile places in one season. Then again, they could go to Quebec and get a French speaking leg in.
-
Didn't wanted to post in the LIVE thread, but that guy who posted a "race sighting" 1h ago looks like an american-based person and also a huge reality show fan, so he might have just used language of speak...
To quote his own profile: "I spend a good majority of my time on earth watching reality tv."
That being said, i'm all hoping he really saw the race somewhere!
-
Yeah, to me it sounds like they saw two people with obnoxiously large backpacks
-
Guess we'll see!

What concerns me right now is the possibility of them being stranded in Glasgow because Leg 3 would be somewhere that has recently had new Coronavirus cases.
These are going to be some long filming days...
-
IT Started filming on Saturday ..Today is Friday...6 days.. Past experience suggests it would be leg 3.....i think it's in a remote area like A desert or Snow area
-
Do we know where they flew out of? If production wants to avoid going to a massive airport (with more chance of the spread of diseases), they could instead fly out of Glasgow or Edinburgh. There are good connections to Portugal, which could be a good bet given that there are no confirmed nor suspected cases there. If they’re in the Azores or Madeira it could explain why they haven’t been spotted.
-
I am gladly happy that Stockholm, Sweden has just visited yesterday.

A possibility?!? I have a friend living in Stockholm & and one based in Gothenburg but regularly goes to Stockholm.
Will ask them if they have seen anything related to TAR.

Yes. It was a very good possibility.
I cannot r/o a leg today but yesterday would have fit a lot better.

BREAKING: CBS suspends production for The Amazing Race 33 due to coronavirus fears. Source: Variety
Not sure if this is the right thread or not
-
:O
I can't believe this.... Poor racers. I hope they will restart filming from there in a few months.
-
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/cbs-suspends-amazing-race-production-coronavirus-fears-1203519026/
-
The report, quoting CBS, confirms three legs have been completed.
The report confirms there is no medical indication that any Racers, or production have any symptoms of coronavirus, and everyone will be monitored for any symptoms over the next number of weeks.
And the decision was described as proactive.
I’m sure this disruption in production for television and film worldwide is just the tip of the iceberg.
-
Yeah, I feel really bad for racers. :(
The question is... Why they even started filming this season at first place? It's not like virus started during filming, they were aware of it.
I can't even image the future of this season... Will they continue with filming sometime? Will be whole cast available then?
-
As the action is described as a temporary suspension, I would guess production will pick up from where the suspension took place once the health environment globally has sufficiently improved.
I’m been very fearful that this might happen. And that production tried to get ahead of it with that strange start, but it wasn’t enough.
-

Sad thing, but safety comes first. Hope they start from Where they closed down. So cool they went to Glasgow.
-
I will also join those wondering what temporary suspension means. Will they be able to continue the season at a future point with the same course/Racers? Or will this season be entirely tossed in the bin, and once things cool down they will begin a new Race and new cast that will be released as TAR 33?
I certainly hope the currently racing cast gets to finish at some point!
-
From the Variety article:
Three episodes had been filmed thus far, according to a source, and the contestants had visited England and Scotland prior to the suspension of the production.
I guess there was a second leg filmed in Scotland that we were unaware of. Unless the start with people flying into London from airports all over the US was a separate episode.

Maybe the press release said they’d filmed three episodes but not what locations and they just googled what locations had been spoiled :duno:

The situation seemed under control enough that they would conceivably avoid hotspots maybe. But things have changed so much since even when teams were sequestered. With the cases in Italy and now cases popping up with no clear origin, it just would've been impossible to thread that needle and truly avoid putting cast and crew at risk.

That's very possible. I'd be a little surprised if CBS or the TAR producers revealed the locations. There wasn't a need to do so.
-
It will be interesting to see how they resume production. Unless teams can't because of work and such, I'd like the cast to stay the same.
But would they re-do the first 2/3 legs? Pick up where the race left off?
It would be fascinating television to see how it all unfolded. They certainly should not let these already filmed episodes go unaired. Whether as a special episode or as part of the actual full run of the season.
-
The Hollywood Reporter has also issued an article, also citing unidentified sources concerning Race locations.
But what’s interesting is that CBS hadn’t confirmed TAR 33 itself until this release.
I also note in my news feed that the official status of the outbreak, according to the World Health Organization, was raised from “high” to “very high” (highest level) at a news conference earlier today in Geneva. Can’t be a coincidence, must have been the trigger for the CBS decision. The WHO reports confirmed cases in over 50 countries. Even the new James Bond film has suspended premiere activities until March or April (so far) because events had been scheduled in China.
The online media has now cancelled two big annual global events involving Apple and Google.
And there’s already concern that the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo May need to be suspended, canceled, or moved, as well as the 2020 San Diego Comic Con.
Post updated.
-
Shocked but not surprised, what's surprising is they tried to film right now in the first place.
Just about anywhere they try to go in the world is going to be a Russian Roulette with the crew and racers' health.
-
My guess is that a planned location had an outbreak.
Also do you really think they will pick up or will the just scrape it? the suspension has no current plans of refilming.
-
The Spanish (1918) Flu hung around for nearly 3 years. And given the fact that some people have recovered from Coronavirus and then reacquired it, the suspension may last a long time.
-
I wonder how coronavirus'll affect TARAU5/TARCAN8 filming.
-
My guess is that a planned location had an outbreak.
Or several locations...
-
Well, Kinda saw this coming. I'm wondering when this airs (if it does) whether the hiatus would be mentioned.
-
:furious:

Yeah, I have doubts they’ll finish filming this season with this cast :(
-
It’s really hard to project a timeline on what’s known. Now. The WHO guidance will continue be to telling. Likewise the CDC and the State Department as to travel advisories.
