It is a full season with 12 legs. Just in a much shorter time interval.
They are just putting it in as Olympic counter programming I think.
We filled a need in the schedule for 29. They had nothing else to place there and we rocked it. They need something against the Olympics and something to go with BB.
Since there is a BB team on 30 going in a scheduling match up with BB could be very good for TAR ratings and CBS ratings if we can retain the BB peeps.
It is actually brilliant marketing.
AND.... CBS likes to have a TAR season in the can ready to go.
Could this mean a very early NEW season filming?? Very possibly!
I think it is a WIN-WIN all around.
