To anyone else, does this imply that 35 will air in the Spring? Idk if they’d want two seasons filmed before even knowing when one will air.
-
Alex Stern said on her Instagram story that filming will be in the May-June range!

Yeah she said late-May to early-June so probably a similar schedule to TAR34 which had the schedule of:
May 25 – June 16, 2022
So something probably similar to that. And if that tracks then possibly TAR37 in Fall 2023 around the same schedule of TAR35. If they stick to two seasons a year this may become the new normal.

I really hope they decide to not cast Taylor & Joseph for this season. Enough of BB couples!!! 2 of them won already in last 5 seasons... I can't stomach another one.
We need fresh winners who will become new faces of TAR. Not another RTV crossovers or SM celebrities.

In the last last three seasons the only SM couple I can recall is Kim and Penn. Is this honestly still such a prevalent issue that people need to keep bringing it up? In the past three years it feels like they’ve had the most down-to-earth casts in more than a decade. I’m not sure what they could do to make people actually like the casts.
-
I really hope this season visits countries that haven’t been seen in a while (hopefully we get more Asia soon), it would be cool if a new country like Nepal is visited (and I personally think they should visit New Zealand again since Phil lives there)

Yeah, there were less gimmick teams in the last seasons however winning teams still happened to be:
TAR30 - RTV couple (Big Brother)
TAR31 - returnee season, we got lucky that TAR team won.
TAR32 - RTV couple (ANTM & Capture)
TAR33 - YouTube/SM couple
TAR34 - RTV couple (Big Brother)
-
TAR31 - returnee season, we got lucky that TAR team won.
Lucky? Why would it make a difference?
Am I missing something or is there some weird bias against deserving winners? Or do they not deserve it by virtue of being from another show?
Really confused about who honestly cares about this. Shows like 'The Challenge' are getting amazing ratings these days, and they're almost entirely comprised of reality TV show people. Show's going to go where the ratings are; frankly I'm amazed TAR has been able to hold out as long as it has. They'd probably get more viewers if they leaned out of 'everyday people' despite the vocal minority clamouring for realistic people-- whatever that means these days.
Can't even go to Facebook without posts having comments along the lines of "Show more teams that are older, that would make the show better" as if Kim and Penn weren't the oldest winners in decades.
-
I don't care who gets on the season. I just hope we finally get some tension and suspense again and none of the boring kumbaya toxic positivity like TAR Thirty Bore.
-
If we are still using a charter plane by then (which probably will be the case) how likely will it be that it's an Oceania & Asian route considering it will be late fall in the southern hemisphere?
Also, if they go back to the South Island of NZ (mainly Queenstown) I hope they do the Detour in TAR Asia 4 (Plunge or Swing) and have a U-Turn there like that did it!
-

This! We need drama back on Amazing Race! They need to bring U-Turns back and cast teams who are cutthroat and messy

Lol-- last time there was drama, it was TAR 32 and people lost their minds over that too. Reddit is still sending messages to James and Will for ruining the season for them.

I will never defend anyone who sends hurtful messages to any contestants and will always hate anyone who does that. But I will say that if anything the alliance from the season took away drama because it became extremely predictable and one sided.

I guess my takeaway is that everyone has a different idea of what drama or the ideal contestant is. Based on this thread alone it's more drama but not that drama but also no social media contestants, even though they don't do that much, but also no reality show repeats, but if there are they should be TAR because that's the right type of winner. This aside from the obvious diversity requirements.
I just think that no matter what way CBS goes with it, people are going to complain. They're not going to get what they want from older seasons. More and more it feels like people wish so badly for the style of race from ten or more years ago that I think they lose sight of the fact that it's not going to be that way again. Between costs, the charter plane (if only temporarily), the fact that travel isn't what it was twenty years ago, the fact that maps are more accessible than they were ten years ago, and the fact that casting for nearly all reality shows can be done through social media right now, it feels like people are just choosing to fight against an immovable force.
I digress, however.
-
I also think that they should bring the Head to Head/Faceoff back in the US seasons (TARCAN still uses it), it would probably make legs more interesting, though I doubt that there will be any new twists in either TAR35 or 36 (though I would have a twist where there is only 1 stunt casted team in the next season).

gosh...imagine a smash of season 6 and season 9 kind of hardcore racers.!! i NEED people who WANT to be on the race and show that on my TV Screen...

Another 2 seasons for next year? Wow. I cannot wait what kind of route is it for 36.
I need some drama, some tension on a season. I want competitiveness.
32 had drama alright, but only up until Kaylynn & Haley's elimination. Stopped watching after India mega leg. The answer sharing tactics took away the "Race" element.
Good teams, personality-wise left consecutively 10th - 6th
34 was ok but, it was lacking that spice, there was no conflict.
Charla & Mirna vs. Rob & Amber / Dustin & Kandice
Tim & Marie vs almost everybody in 23
Kym & Alli vs. Misti & Jim
Brooke & Claire / Flo & Zach
The U-Turns should return.
-
I feel like the race now casts teams who are there for the experience, whereas older seasons casted teams who wanted to win. I feel like the modern show as well as the teams highlight the beauty of locations far more than in earlier seasons.
In S5 or 7 teams wouldn't of cared if they were flying to Bali, Paris or Dayton, Ohio, they just wanted to win, I miss the competition of the older seasons with power hungry teams
-

I'm just glad that CBS finally saw the light where TAR is concerned. It really is the crown jewel of the reality trio, yet it was treated like the redheaded stepchild instead for reasons unknown.
Brook & Claire / Flo & Zach
Uh . . . what? They weren't on the same season.
-
I think we should keep this thread strictly to facts and rumors as the title suggests...
-
Do we know if they will be using a charter plane again?
-
Do we know if they will be using a charter plane again?
As of December 30th, 2022, no. We don't know if the charter plane will still be used or not, however, I think there's a strong chance it will be in use again.
-
Given the very recent victory of #Clerek, it's surprising that production was unable to get a crossover couple from Survivor like Andrea and her boytoy Xander for the following season notwithstanding the BIPOC quota.
(Secretly relieved that #Joylor didn't get stuck on an all-Hispanophone route without a single visit to a pre-Columbian archaeological site, c.f. Teotihuacan in both Season 3 as well as Social Media Edition and Chan Chan in Blind Date Edition.)
-
I really hope this season visits countries that haven’t been seen in a while (hopefully we get more Asia soon), it would be cool if a new country like Nepal is visited (and I personally think they should visit New Zealand again since Phil lives there)
Expect Australia before NZ since the former's last visit was during the late-teen seasons versus the latter's early-twenties.

Andrea and Xander broke up

I saw Kara Kay's IG story a few days ago promoting The Amazing Race casting for the next season. I think she may have auditioned with Alec Merlino, her fellow castaway (Survivor David vs. Goliath) and current boyfriend. I remember in an interview with them, if there was another show they'd like to do, it's the Amazing Race.

(Fingers crossed that Mr. and Mrs. Abdin get to visit Kathmandu on or after Season 37.)

They dated, Andrea is like 10 years senior to Xander.
I think it's inevitable that TAR casts people whom are of internet/social media personality.
I would not mind it, but I do not want reality-tv crossovers, it takes a spot away for a deserving team.
We have had them since S.30 - S.34. Two of which even won.
Plus I do not want to deal with the fly-by-night rabid fans on this forum especially with what we've experienced in S.30. A headache for Peach.
-
The thirteen-team casting gimmick will probably be a season-specific twist tied to the Finale City's colonial history unless charter flights remain on the table and it goes up to fourteen.
-

Only if they "rebrand" it as the Double Battle a la the Pass/Yield (RIP, One-Way). /s
-
Pretty sure we are looking at another season of charter flights...BUT possibly larger ones allowing longer flights.
-
Do we think Japan and South Korea are back on the table now that they’ve both re-opened for tourism? They used to almost always go through either one of them or China (which is off the table for the foreseeable future) starting or ending since there are lots of flights from the US into Tokyo and Seoul. They could always do commercial flights for the two or three long haul flights and then charter on the shorter ones. The problem is you can get a 757 from the North East to Europe but you’d need a 767 or 330 to get from the North West to the big markets in East Asia without having to stop in Alaska. I just looked it up, SEA-ICN is just out of the 757’s range.
-
I really hope they decide to not cast Taylor & Joseph for this season. Enough of BB couples!!! 2 of them won already in last 5 seasons... I can't stomach another one.
We need fresh winners who will become new faces of TAR. Not another RTV crossovers or SM celebrities.
I don't mind BB couples, but I wholeheartedly agree with hoping Taylor and Joseph aren't cast LOL. I hope they thrive as a couple but I never found them entertaining on BB :funny:

This would be a bummer, but I guess progress is progress. I really want them to go back to 12 hour pitstops instead of teams starting in groups and teams actually needing to buy airline tickets....small steps though, what I really can't wait for is getting back to public transport (cab, bus, train, etc) and people losing or gaining time that way. So tired of self driving and the only shifting being people not navigating correctly. Very redundant, but.... i get it. Too much on the line.
-
I know .But with soaring COVID worldwide I am just grateful they can keep the show up and running.
-
Going to Australia or New Zealand is def out of the picture if they’re still chartering a plane. They’d have to bring in one of the big boys to get them there if they don’t want to stop in Hawaii and refuel. LAX-SYD is well out of the range of of the 767s and A330s (even the new ones) and chartering something like a 787 or A350 that is more fuel efficient is exorbitantly expensive.
Edit: Here's where we stand with places allowing in fully vaccinated Americans. Seens like most of the ones left with full testing are in Central Africa and a few in SE Asia like Myanmar where they wouldn't go anyway.

Should Northeast Asia permit US gameshow contestants by Spring/Summer 2023 in time to film Season 36, then the specific regions covered need to be unvisited ones such as Hokkaido and Jeju Island.

They haven't been to Taiwan in such a long time either and only twice. They just opened their travel and it could be a good replacement for mainland China which was probably out of the picture indefinitely even without the pandemic.

Kaohsiung and/or Tarako Gorge to debut as alternatives, then.

Taylor and Joseph from BB24 have both posted about the casting for Amazing Race 36, and in an Instagram story on Taylor's Instagram, Taylor asked Joseph "hey baby are we doing the Amazing Race this season?" and Joseph said "we're not but another couple or dynamic duo can so make sure you guys apply." It seems like Jesse asked them to post this, but if they were in the mix to be cast wouldn't CBS want them to not mention it or post about it? Has me thinking that they're a no for this season.

They would be a competitive team if they were ever on, but I am far from upset about this lol.
-
it might or it might not be related to this, but a Japanese game show "Sasuke Ninja Warrior" allowed Non-Japanese contestants to participate in their 40th season. It probably indicates that Japan is more open to tourists, especially to reality game shows. hopefully, this season will visit Japan again.
-
Theoretically all they need is a 767 or A330 to go a more typical pre-pandemic route of Northwest US- Northeast Asia- Middle East- Europe- US or the opposite way without having to stop to refuel all the time. Most of Africa that's in the accessible range is probably not where they'd like vaccination wise and Oceania would require lots of fuel stops or a bigger and therefore much more expensive plane. Maybe some stops in the Carribean or Central America too. All things considered that would be about as close to normal as imaginable.

I looked at several leasing websites and the cheapest rate I saw was at least $20,000 an hour. It would get expensive fast.

Now would be a good time. To task designers, Japan essentially = Shibuya Crossing and game shows. The country is so much more, and maybe Covid era TAR will help push them out of Tokyo to show a fresh side of it.

I would love that. I usually despise the type of tasks they have in Japan and I'm not usually thar critical

I agree. Japan is such a diverse place with so much to offer but they’ve never really gone outside of Tokyo and it’s all the same genre of tasks. Maybe the new way they do it where they try to stay out of cities and keep stuff outside as much as possible will get the creative juices flowing again. I get it makes sense to stay close to Tokyo because they usually uses it as an entry or exit point but things have changed. I’d argue the same to a lesser extent with Korea and Seoul. I don’t believe they’ve ever even been to Busan.

Ok I agree with no shibuya crossing but, maybe an unpopular opinion, but I enjoy the game show tasks LOL. I thought the season 31 japan leg was sub par but like....season 23 japan detour, that game show, i enjoyed lol

They visited Osaka in TAR 12 and 20, Hiroshima in 20 and Nagano in Season 26. But agree with you on the task's genres. Admittedly, in TAR 18 they when to the countryside and they had a good leg for once.

Yeah, I probably should have said urban areas in general, but I also agree that 18 is the only good leg they've ever done there. I don't think it's a coincidence it's the only really rural leg they've ever done.
-
Do we even think they'd go to Taiwan with all the stuff going on politically? I don't see them going back to Mainland China for the indefinite future (even without the pandemic, though supposedly they're getting ready to open borders back up by the summer) and that may help them decide to go there. I think the rich countries in North East Asia should be back on the table now that they're re-opened for tourism but Idk if they'd be willing to splurge on a 767/A330 for just Japan and South Korea. Singapore is out of their range from somewhere on the West Coast.

Seconded, the budget alone or lack thereof would preclude two seasons filmed per year after blowing through it in 2022.

Occam's Razor: the route emulates Season 34 only this time with some permutation of Ireland, the Low Countries, and North Africa alongside the rest of Western Europe.
-
I just don't see how they wouldn't do everything in their power to not have to do a Europe heavy season again. 35 is LATAM heavy but they need some spice, and it will be winter in LATAM when they run again which is part of why, plane aside, I doubt they'd be going to Aus or NZ anyway. Not comparing COVID and the flu but 33 probably taught them they need to avoid flu season.
-
More like it's easier to repeat what already worked for a previous charter flight season than to find the funds for some all-Asia route during the Northern Hemisphere's springtime/summer.
-
Delta is starting an Auckland flight out of LAX in October, that's more 37 territory but if they do move back to flying commercially by then, that's a huge sign for a return to NZ. As of now, there's only one airline flying that route. Two is much more practical for logistics.
-

How reliable is the source?
Not disappointed with the idea of returning to Ireland, but do we really need another European season (especially since Western Europe generally equates to yet another visit to France/Germany). Wouldn’t mind some Baltic countries, but I highly doubt it’s going to be another 34 situation. Also, where in North Africa would they go other than Morocco? Even if they don’t go full commercial, I could see them doing one long haul flight just to get diversity in locations.

Occam's Razor is just a rule of thumb in the study of logic and problem solving. Occam's Razor states that given a choice between two hypotheses, choose the one that requires the least assumptions.

Morocco is probably the only country in North Africa that's where they want vaccine wise with 69%. To go further south, Rwanda and Botswana are both highly vaccinated but they'd probably need a bigger plane if they're still doing charter to get there.

To be fair, Jordan does not have a very high rate of vaccination (last I looked it hovered around 43%) and they still visited in Season 34. Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt all have higher rates of vaccination, and Tunisia has approximately the same rate as recently-visited Barbados.

Considering how COVID is contracted Will probably got COVID while they were in Italy and the tests didn’t show until Jordan.

Poorly, but all I'm saying is that just because a country has a "low" rate of vaccination doesn't mean we can rule it out entirely (I put low in quotation marks since what makes a vaccination rate low is subjective)
-

Officials in the United States appear to intend to end the COVID-19 emergency declaration on May 11, before the original shooting date for TAR Season 36. I believe there are some possibilities that this season will be back to normal, taking commercial flights and flying to different continents.

Did production claim that the U.S.' guidelines were the factor for travel in every other country? With so many other countries not under significant emergency guidelines, it seems like a weirdly arbitrary reason to hold back.
-
As of now, I think they'll go back to flying commercial. Everywhere they would feasibly go to is back to normal with Japan having opened up this fall. Especially it being the summer season where they can do a lot of stuff outside.

It'll be instructive to see which if any Season 35 teams get medivac'd a la Abbie and Will, thus setting a precedent for 36's elimination policies.

Agree on the flying!

I'm guessing they're going to make people who come on the show keep up with their boosters but I wonder how they'd do it. I think Japan is the only place they'd probably go that makes you keep up with them as well. I recently got my booster to be able to go there this summer.
-
Also I think this might be something the show might take advantage of.

Location rules almost don't matter. Sitting in an airplane with unknowns or almost anywhere in the world can expose you. Better believe I would be vaccinated to the max. AND wearing a mask in crowded places. Let's hope our TAR family does the same.

With TARAUS currently defunct, it will film once TARCAN9 wraps up in mid-May.

Allegedly Joseph from BB24 turned down The Challenge USA to compete on TAR36 with Taylor from BB24.
-
Highly doubt that. Derek was able to do the Challenge and TAR34 back to back so there's no reason he couldn't do both. Plus Taylor has already said she has lot interest in doing Amazing Race.
-
Would the source for that information be PinkRose from Vevmo?
-
I am boycotting TAR if they will cast Taylor and Joseph for this season.
I have enough. 3 from last 4 newbie seasons were won by RTV couples!!!!! (and one season not won by RTV couple was won by YouTube couple)
Taylor and Joseph would be favorites to win because of their athleticism. No, I really can't stomach another RTV couple winning TAR.
I did not mind when they casted RTV couples here and there back in a day... But RTV couple became archetype casted every season nowadays... I am over it.
TAR30 - Jess & Cody (Big Brother)
TAR31 - 6 RTV teams from Survivor and Big Brother
TAR32 - Will & James (ANTM/Capture)
TAR33 - Ray & Caro (Love Island)
TAR34 - Derek & Claire (Big Brother)
-

I'm always surprised by comments like this from supposed fans. The consequence of boycotting over one team isn't that they fix it in time for the proceeding season-- it's that you risk diminishing viewership to lean closer to legitimate cancellation. You're basically saying at (a) the only thing that matters to you about the show is the cast and (b) teaching the network a lesson about what you like is more important than the show's longevity.
-
People are allowed to boycott TAR if they want. I boycotted a season myself once, and I’m an absurdly huge fan with a photographic memory of the series. Let the people show their support/lack of support
-

Lol-- I can't stop anyone from doing it, and my calling it out should be equally valid as someone saying they want to boycott the show. Is there a problem with me addressing potential consequence to peoples' actions or would we prefer to plug our ears and act surprised if it happens?
Frankly speaking, the 'reality stars'/'TikTok & YouTube stars'/'not enough older people' argument has been done to death on repeat for decades, and it's wild because no one ever has the same complaints about the deluge of sports stars who get cast (footballers, basketballers, NASCAR drivers, hockey players, etc.)-- even when they win. It almost comes across, every time, like an older audience is just frustrated with the way that people are these days. TAR has almost ALWAYS cast people they think will be good TV-- TAR6 had a cast that was half-models/actors; Rob and Amber appeared on two seasons; the Globetrotters appeared on three! Meanwhile, people on this very forum (and the subreddit) complained about the casts for TARAUS5 and 6, claiming that too many of them were uninteresting. It's like people think the past-reality winners aren't deserving; people still express backlash towards Will and James-- they still beat everyone else. Y u mad? A TV show didn't go your way?
What it comes down to is people set themselves for an expectation of the show that they want well before it even airs, they rile themselves up over things they can't possibly know, and come in with the predisposition that they're ready at a moment's notice to pull the plug on it. Like you said-- let people. I can't stop them. By egads I can say that I think it's a really awful way to watch TV, preparing yourself through mere speculation to be disappointed. I had to pull myself away from the TAR Facebook and the TAR subreddit because people couldn't stop moaning about these same things over and over; I've had the same sort of antagonism towards the Bitch and Moan thread here because RFF creates a space that facilitates people building each other up over their dislikes of the show before they even see the content.
And I get if people want something to be angry at, but that really does suck for the people who just want to enjoy it without all the arbitrary negativity. And it is arbitrary. People are threatening to boycott over casting that hasn't been finalized. That's like threatening to cancel your vacation next year because it might rain. And if people like me come into these threads and make the same decision to withdraw because it doesn't feel like an enjoyable place to be, then it's just going to continue to winnow down to people bemoaning stuff which, I have to assume, we really do like. The space for positivity just won't exist for it. And that's a real shame.
Quite simply-- if people are boycotting the show, it will affect the ratings. If the ratings drop below a threshold they will cancel the show. No one will see reality stars on the show because there will be no show. So...net win?
CBS is going to cast what they think will be good TV, and from TARs past and their other reality shows, they have continued reason to believe they're doing the right thing. The overall health of the show is in their best interest.
I hate to say, but for a lot of hold-outs, maybe this just isn't the show you want to watch anymore. They are not going to go back to the way they were twenty-two years ago, and if you think they are, you are going to continue to be disappointed. Reverting back to the old style does not work for reality TV in this decade.
The entitlement is insane.

Yall need to calm down lol. The info that Taylor and Joseph are on TAR came from spoiler girl on twitter who has been very inconsistent in the past lol

It's the editing that does it with me. Earlier seasons had teams that were stunt cast (Rob and Amber, a ton of "Mactors", Jet Cord), but the editing didn't constantly shove that fact in our face. Compare Rob/Amber to someone more recent like Kim/Penn. There was rare mention from Rob/Amber about their previous stints on survivor and they mainly focused on the race whereas Kim and Penn talked a ton about their Youtube channel and all of that schtick. And in those earlier days, they appeared pretty rarely whereas now almost 90% of the cast is some form of D-List celebrity or stunt cast.
Unpopular opinion, but it may be time to end the show anyway. This show has gradually been declining since S24 even with a few strong seasons sprinkled in since (S25, S29, S30). Having previously mentioned this, I think the casting has gotten incredibly stale and generic especially in the most recent of seasons. There's been little drama as of late in these past few seasons and the tasks have gotten lamer and lamers. No game changing elements have affected the game in a negative way which effectively led to the last 2 seasons being straightforward and boring. Do we really want to sacrifice quality for the sake of keeping the show going for as long as possible?
-

This happens on a majority of reality shows these days because it allows teams to be more identifiable (in the same way they ask teams to wear colour-coded clothing). Referring to a team as 'the footballers' or 'the jocks' gives an archetype. They did this waaay back when too. Remember when TAR4 had 'The Virgins' and 'The Clowns' and 'The Football Wives'?
More than Kim and Penn's YouTube channel being discussed, TAR33 reminded us that Ryan Ferguson was in prison and that Raquel and Cayla had travel experience as flight attendants. Frankly I find it more interesting that Kim and Penn sustained their family over COVID by leveraging a silly video series. I can't believe people fault them for making a living.
-
Short answer in response to your comment Travelguy1, is no, I would never ‘prefer’ the race to end. I hope it goes on forever. I personally think 33 was a brilliant cast, that Kim/Penn didn’t talk all that much about their channel, and frankly the final 6 was the best in a long time. I even liked 34, but I can see how linear legs, lack of commercial travel and no fighting among teams and interpersonally, could drag it down somewhat.
I hope they return to commercial flights so they can fly to many different continents, I hope legs are longer again with more active route info tasks alongside a detour and roadblock, so it’s not as one-dimensional. I hope they go back to normal pit-starts. I like self-driving but a few more trains and COVID controlled cabs would be cool. I would like to see two yields back in the mix, spread across the course. I would like one fast forward to return somewhere along the first two thirds of the course. I love the prospective cast for 35 - particularly the age and physical ability diversity, as well as BIPOC diversity. Having more racers over 50 is GREAT! And having fitter and less fitter people also, so I hope casting is similar for 36. With all that, I’d say they’re in for a great season for 36!
-
If team big brother had been on 35 , tar35 would have been on air by now ..I hope we get a bb or survivor contestant on so that AmazingRace 36 comes back immediately after filming. The layover for Amazing Race tends to be short if big brother or a survivor person wins or makes it on the the show. Even though no survivor has ever won the competition. :furious:

While I get the frustration about teams from other reality shows....the newbie teams could quite literally just...finish ahead of them.

Neat coincidence, but this is not a reason a show is held back. TAR might get a viewer bump from cross-over contestants (which is the point behind having them), but I really think people overestimate the actual sway these people have to an almost obsessive extent, especially judging by the harsh reactions on here to any contestant from previous reality shows and social media. Rent-free comes to mind.

Which is weird because I liked the route for S26, highly-enjoyed the route and cast for S28, thought the only fault of S30 was the scheduling, and thought S32 was an amazing season that harkened back to the old days of the show. It's declining from the purely subjective take of some people but not all.
There's been little drama as of late in these past few seasons
Ignoring the outrage of the drama brought on by S32 that soured the online community's opinion of five front-running teams and the alliances in S30 and S31, I guess. It's literally just S33 that was drama-free. Are we asserting that COVID is a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater? I'm not sure what people expect. One minute it's "air the show", the next it's "oh no, not like that." One minute it's "add in 'real people', and the next is "oh no they're not playing like I want them to. Make the rules tighter." S32 literally had zero influencers and zero CBS reality stars (ie. BB/Survivor) and people lost their minds over how much they disliked them.
No game changing elements have affected the game in a negative way
Like the U-Turn vote in S31, the return of the Yield in S32, or COVID in S33 and S34. Big nothing-burgers. No one talked about those.
Like I've said a few times now, I don't think this is about expecting the show to "sacrifice quality for the sake of keeping the show going for as long as possible". I think this is about people coming in with an expectation that CBS will make the show exactly as they, the viewer posting comments, wants it to be and no different, and unless it meets that expectation, it's bad. Drama but not this drama. The teams I want, doing the things I want them to do. And people are immediately forgetful. TV goes by in the blink of an eye and people generally only remember the most inflammatory parts, and only if they're reminded. Seasons that people hated 10 years ago are revisited and lauded (and vice versa). When S31 aired, everyone online watching the show had an immensely positive reaction to Colin and Christie winning-- now people regard it as lame (the word used in the previous messages).
I genuinely think people don't know what they really want, and what they think they want is a worse idea. I would recommend that people who don't like it take a look at their viewing habits and stop themselves from going down the black hole of feeling bad about something they seem to consistently not enjoy. Wait until it airs and see what people say about it and base your watching habits on that instead because this stuff here doesn't seem to be working.

I don't think some of you remember that seasons 30-present featured pretty linear legs as well only having around 2 tasks per leg then a Pit Stop. I do think it's because of luck of public transportation, less teams prepared for self-driving, and/or tasks being more likely to have teams fall behind/get ahead of others, but the legs haven't been super non-linear in years, COVID didn't kill that one, budget did.
I agree with some of the criticism, but I keep in mind everyone will have different opinions on things they like or dislike, and also almost all of you have been watching since early on, so that could make our opinions different.
I thought 33 was good and 34 was an average season, but the casts have been good imo. It's just since the teams haven't been interacting with each other drama isn't occurring, and that comes from COVID and the harsh backlash of 32.

Bertram and Elise do not go out with TARCAN
There is a lot of crossover with the cameramen and perhaps other parts of "behind the scenes" staff. So one would expect at least a bit of a break between the two

Does it ever happened when TAR Can and TAR US overlaps their filming schedule?
It generally doesn't, as TAR Can has some film crew that also work on TAR US. Given we are expecting the three-week TAR Can 9 schedule to begin shortly, I'd expect TAR US 36 to film anywhere from the third week of May onwards. Not far away - look forward to the fun of it all with you RFF members soon!

The casting of tar34 and tar 35 ,had similarities to casting of sur 44 and 43...Dom of AmazingRace 34 looked like moriah of survivor 43in terms of hair . And Carson of survivor 44 and Dan of not yet releases 35 are both nerds with special puzzle powers . DO we know the cast of 45 yet? The only thing I know on all social media is that there is a returning player, so AmazingRace 36 may have a returning player .It's maybe CBS's way of increasing interaction between the two shows,that hate each right now coz of favouritism on survivors part......

As of now there are only a dozen countries still with some sort of restrictions for fully vaxxed Americans (I assume they're going to make the contestants be up on their boosters) and they're not countries that they would really visit anyway.

Yes they do, even when they cast aarthy and thinesh in Tarcan 7,later we would get Eshwar and aparna in s.32 ,both have similar personalities. And resemble to a certain degree..If I had two businesses,i would also incorporate different aspects from both :waves: :)x

This is my prediction for the upcoming season’s route (hopefully it is a normal route that covers over 25,000 miles)
(I’m not expecting any major twists other than the return of u turns/yields and speedbumps)
1. Los Angeles, US -> Auckland, NZ
2. Auckland, NZ -> Melbourne, Australia
3. Melbourne -> Alice Springs, Australia
4. Australia -> Bangkok, Thailand
5. Thailand -> Da Nang/Hue, Vietnam
6. Vietnam -> Kathmandu, Nepal
7. Nepal -> Dubai, UAE
8. UAE -> Pretoria (or Cape Town or any other major city), South Africa (this could be a superleg)
9. S. Africa -> Casablanca, Morocco
10. Morocco -> Guatemala City, Guatemala
11. Guatemala -> Houston, Texas
I know this route might be kinda bonkers, and it might not be the most realistic because I (un)intentionally skipped Europe, but I tried to include most places that have been rumored
-
Considering other countries from 33's intended route came true in 34 (Austria, Italy) it wouldn't be a stretch to consider the Asian ones.
Which would mean... let's go, Nepal! <3

Cold-weather Oceania legs would be a first.

If we assume a return to normal, then we probably could see the majority of the race in Oceania, Asia and Africa considering how the last 3 seasons have only been to Europe and the Americas (excluding Jordan of course)

(I’m not expecting any major twists other than the return of u turns/yields and speedbumps)
1. Los Angeles, US -> Auckland, NZ
2. Auckland, NZ -> Melbourne, Australia
3. Melbourne -> Alice Springs, Australia
4. Australia -> Bangkok, Thailand
5. Thailand -> Da Nang/Hue, Vietnam
6. Vietnam -> Kathmandu, Nepal
7. Nepal -> Dubai, UAE
8. UAE -> Pretoria (or Cape Town or any other major city), South Africa (this could be a superleg)
9. S. Africa -> Casablanca, Morocco
10. Morocco -> Guatemala City, Guatemala
11. Guatemala -> Houston, Texas
I know this route might be kinda bonkers, and it might not be the most realistic because I (un)intentionally skipped Europe, but I tried to include most places that have been rumored
I hope they utilise Amazing Race Australia 5 tasks specifically ep 22 .That balancing task was so Goood :clap2:
-
If we assume a return to normal, then we probably could see the majority of the race in Oceania, Asia and Africa considering how the last 3 seasons have only been to Europe and the Americas (excluding Jordan of course)
On paper, yes, yet the autumnal/wintry Southern Hemisphere will pose considerable issues in practice.

True, if they film in June it will be winter in the southern hemisphere, but I don't think they could genuinely go anywhere where that would make too much of a difference. Outside of Patagonia (which they would probably skip due to 35's route), the only place they would go that regularly gets snow is New Zealand or maybe Tasmania if they're lucky. I will say a winter Tasmanian forest leg would be amazing though!!

Sweden-Austria-Italy-Nepal-Vietnam-South America
Vietnam to South America, quite the jump. I wonder what specific country in South America though.
No different from Vietnam to Botswana in TAR 22.
It wasn't revealed but speculated.
-
If I remember correctly the Italy/Austria/Vietnam/Nepal info was different than the South American info. 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.
-
When will CBS release their summer schedule?
-
tbh i still want them to use charter plane because it makes more cast (13) i want them to focus in australia/ asia pacific countries this time with hawai as finale leg

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.
Also after a heavy season of South America in 35, I'm thinking we will give it a big miss this time around.
The thing to keep in mind is that 33 was scheduled to film in Feb/March 2020, 36 is slated to film from now until July. With different timings of year/climates, what they originally had planned for 33 may not necessarily fit in with 36's schedule.

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.

On the contrary, there've been many examples of consecutive seasons featuring the same continent such as South America itself during Seasons 26-29.

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.

Mike Bloom brings up a good point on Twitter. The schedule released by CBS is for 2023 and 2024 which means TAR36 could likely also be 90 minutes.

Hopefully this means they film TAR 36 expecting to fill 90 minute episodes, so they can add some additional route markers and route info tasks
-
Tar 35 premiere fall 2023?
Tar 36 to be filmed last week of may 2023 premire spring 2024?
Tar 37 to be filmed oct-nov? Premiere fall 2024?
-
TAR Canada 9 will be done filming this week. Because of the way they've shared US crew in the past, they might be out a few days later like last year.
-
We still have two more legs + the finale for TARC, no?
So yeah 7-8 days ish! +. a few break days.
-
There's now a non-zero chance that the filmings of haMerotz 9 and Season 36 overlap.

Except for the fact that the Season 32 cast actually failed to run into haMerotz 8's.

If we assume a return to normal, then we probably could see the majority of the race in Oceania, Asia and Africa considering how the last 3 seasons have only been to Europe and the Americas (excluding Jordan of course)
I think they will probably hold off on Oceania until 37 since it will be winter there. I think after what happened with 33 and COVID, I think we will probably see an avoidance of places at peak cold/flu season. They probably make them get flu shots for the fall/winter seasons anyway but flu would ripple through the cast the way they do it and the shots don't really stop you from getting it, just from getting really sick. Even with a shot, you'd probably get sick enough to have to stop.
-
i wonder when will filming of tar 36 will start? last year TAR 34 started filming 4 days after TAR CAN 8 finished filming.
-
casting for TAR 37 might began? from jesse ig story there will be casting call at cleaveland

Yup, this is the Instagram story from Jesse and it looks to be confirmed early casting for season 37.
Additionally, I checked the cbs.com/casting page for The Amazing Race and looks like they've updated it.

Unsure if the mid-October filming date is new or just old from season 35. But the June-September 2023 callback dates are definitely new.
And aside from that, is there any news as for when season 36 should be starting? Both seasons 34 and 35 started on the 25th of the month, so that's coming up very soon. If it's still going to be late-May they must be in sequester already and getting ready to go? Unless there's been any delays?

They never updated the October filming date during 36 casting (I checked every so often incase they did), but yeah I think the callback dates is definitely new and if it is, the October filming date may probably be accurate.
And aside from that, is there any news as for when season 36 should be starting?
We're looking at a June start date right now. Not sure if I'm allowed to say more than that (I'll let someone like Peach say something more if they want to), but we don't think the season will be starting for a few weeks so we can relax for a bit now while we wait.
-
i wonder when will filming of tar 36 will start? last year TAR 34 started filming 4 days after TAR CAN 8 finished filming.
The answer now seems to be mid-late June, i.e. late spring and/or early summer.

Oh no, I hope everything is alright. Earlier it was announced filming would take place from May to June just like season 34 did last year around this time.
Alex Stern said on her Instagram story that filming will be in the May-June range!
So if that's changed I wonder what caused that? I don't think the Writer's Strike would delay TAR production, would it? Hopefully there's not too big of a delay and the season can film soon.

Somebody from Reddit said that while they were on a tour in Sofia, Bulgaria, a couple with a camera crew stopped them. Could it be pre-race runs?

The Amazing Race Israel is currently filming so that might be them.

This is pure speculation, but The Challenge is about to film its 2nd season back-to-back (and third in the past two years) in Croatia so clearly Paramount has a good relationship with the country so it might be possible that we could see a leg there this season. Again, just spec with no other proof to go off of at this time but it's worth keeping an eye out for whenever we begin filming.

Anything but Dubrovnik, e.g. Zagreb and the Plitvice Lakes.

Of course, anywhere in Bulgaria would be even better.

Sunny Beach? :funny:

They could also visit Slovenia. Or having a leg within three countries, like Croatia-Bosnia & Herzegovina-Montenegro or Italy/Austria-Slovenia-Croatia.

All this casting makes me believe that mayb someone or some people pulled out .Or a cbs head cut most of the 36 cast like they did perez decades ago. I think these are last minute changes .Why would they start casting on new season when 36 hasn't filmed yet .tar ain't cbs favourite for them to be that fast . feels suspicious to me .Or maybe alliances had formed,I don't know what to make of casting on the rumoured day of / month of filming.

I feel like this season might be heavy on Africa and Oceania/Australia (maybe Asian?).
Do we know if this season is commercial or charter?

Trust me, they are way too close to the start to be making any last minute changes like that. It's for 37. 36 casting is complete. No need to look too much into things. Casting for 35 started in June as well while 34 was filming. It's not out of the ordinary.

I just hope if they go to Japan (which seems likely), the new way they do the show of trying to do things outside more often will get their creative juices flowing. Crazy that such a prime location never has good lugs.

I think China is indefinitely out of the picture. The political situation has changed so much since they’ve last been there and you still have to COVID test. JP just recently dropped their last requirements a few months ago.
Maybe mainland China being out of the picture will mean they’ll go back to Taiwan tho.
-
Why is Japan more likely than other places? Am I missing something?
They almost always use China, JP, or SK as a hopping on or off point since there are lots of flights there to and from the US. I think China is out of the picture indefinitely for a host of reasons. Japan also recently just dropped all COVID related documentation entrance requirements. Seems like a likely candidate to me.

Tensions are high. I seriously doubt China or Taiwan will be used. My guess is anywhere near any Russian borders or China/Taiwan will be out of the question. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/05/us-china-trade-barbs-at-security-summit-shangri-la-dialogue.html

Re the start; For safety we NEVER publicize the start date/time. But pretty sure no further than 2 weeks max, and am leaning closer to 7-10 days but NOT confirmed.

China is not viable
Quite a lot of people are Xenophobic to western people
I think Korea and Japan have a high possibility
But actually I am speculating the first destination being Australia

Kuwait was visited way back TAR 10. :waves:

If they visit Asia
East/Southeast Asia can only be
South Korea,Japan,Singapore,Thailand,Taiwan,Malaysia
(i don't think Cambodia is possible given the fact that the human trafficking issues)
India - I am very skeptical at the chances cuz the production may not want the racers rely on the public transportation
Same with Bangladesh
I am very positive about Nepal, or possible new feature of some Asian countries
Notably uzbekistan, Brunei
As for Europe,
I doubt they visit the countries they did on 33 and 34
That's why I speculate Czechia, Romania or maybe other Balkan/Baltic countries
With the very possible new features of Slovenia,Slovakia,Latvia
Or maybe a return of overdue countries
Don't really see them to do South America or the Carribeans
I am very positive they re-create the legs like TAR18 or TAR 22 with Oceania starts
-
Is there any news on if we should be expecting the return of the Charter or are they going back to normal flights?
My baseless speculation is I think this will probably be a Westward route with a premiere leg in Australia. Since TAR35 was originally supposed to go to Australia but canceled last minute they probably already have legs designed so that makes sense to me. Possibly some combination of Australia/New Zealand/a Pacific Island nation for legs 1-3. Maybe they'll finally do Fiji.
Then probably Asia for legs 4-7ish. I think they'll stick to the countries they've used more often in the past like Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. Though a surprise leg or two in Nepal since we know they were originally going to go there in TAR33 before it was canceled would be amazing.
Then probably Europe for the backhalf of the season, maybe a surprise Middle East or Africa leg in there as well.
If they do go to Europe though I'm really hoping we get some new countries... it's wild to me that they spend so much time in Europe yet there's still so many unused European countries lol.

The world cup made qatar a global hub..I think they know how to welcome foreigners especially BVM :duno:
-
Is there a possibilty for them to visit country like Fiji or Samoa? Like Survivor basically already moved there so i think Fiji is available for amazing race
Also looking at the list of U.S. travel advisory, its interesting that many of never visited countries are on the "exercise normal precautions" level, like most of Oceania, Brunei, Bhutan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, most of Baltics and Balkans, Angola, Gabon, Lesotho, Suriname, Belize etc, so im wondering if they will visit those countries, bcs i need some new landscapes after 33/34.
-
Slovenia, Latvia, Cyprus and Bulgaria could be cool new Countries in Europe to go. As of cities Dublin or Madrid.
Yes Pacific islands like Fiji or Somoa could be great.
First Season of TAR Australia did, a fantastic leg in South Africa on the Garden Route. Would love to see that on TAR.

They could do the taxi task in 31 for Qatar and maybe a dance task And leave the country .it can't be that difficult,i guess! Or go to one of those new stadiums. When u say holiday destination middle east ,people know Dubai,qatar.. People do road trips between Dubai and Qatar like Germany and Austria. They are mostly the same .Its like a 3 hr drive .Being in Dubai is like being in Qatar coz a small population of Dubai is Qatari.i really don't know the difference. But I know production is doing its best. At this point I feel that they may go to Saudi before Qatar if production had a hard time in 25 there.

I think it's possible with what everyone is saying for TAR to do a route similar to NZ x2, Australia x2, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ireland, then a possible Boston or Portland, ME finish.
Would you guys think a KOR or Mega Leg is possible with Singapore and Malaysia where teams would take a train from Singapore to Malaysia? Also, the same with Bulgaria to Romania, but with a self-drive?

I think there has to be 1/2 overdue countries coming back?
Like in S31 we have Croatia
S32 we have Kazakhstan and Philippines
S33 we have Portugal
S34 we have Spain
S35 we have Uruguay
I can definitely see one of the European or Asian countries return
For instance
Ireland
Romania
Hungary
Finland
Mongolia
Sri Lanka
Kuwait
Oman

I agree with the westward route theory and think they’ll hit the “exotic” places that got canceled last minute for both 33 and 35 (Australia, Thailand/Vietnam, Nepal, South Africa) before heading into the familiar middle east and Europe.
