So what are the most likely starting or finish line cities in TAR33?

Assuming it will finish around December, every winter season in the last 20 seasons has finished in a warmer city except Washington DC in TAR22. So I assume the finale would likely be in either California, Florida, Texas, Hawaii, Las Vegas or Phoenix? We haven’t had finales in Hawaii, Miami or Phoenix for a while and we’ve never had visits to San Diego, Houston or Orlando. Or they could just do the obvious Los Angeles again haha

I would love for them to do a big bold starting line location such as TAR 25 Times Square or even TAR 27 Venice Beach. Possible starting lines could be Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles (with a starting line challenge where they have to photograph a certain star), Fremont Street, Las Vegas (at night with the canopy light show) or Miami Beach/Daytona Beach, Florida. Or it could just be a random park in LA.

They could go to Montreal to get a French speaking city in that’s not actually in France to mix it up a bit.

I think Quebec City would be a much better location for this, but I wholeheartedly agree with you!

Although in Quebec, Montreal is still a very English city. Quebec City is the best place to go for a french canadian leg it is pretty much 100% french.

A great live start in LA would be LA Live! Its a great downtown location I've used for fan fics and considering they used times square it could be very likely.

I've been hoping for a San Diego start and SLC finish!

Sometimes when I'm bored, I write fantasy routes, and I often start my 'race' in Burlington, Vermont, with teams going to my province of Quebec. I agree for the US point of view, Quebec city would be more interesting because it's more french (language problem) and it's prettier in my opinion. (The old Quebec looks like Europe)

I have teams do a Ben & Jerry ice cream task as a starting line task (well they would start at the Boardwalk around Lake Champlain, and then drive 25 mins to the Ben and Jerry Ice cream factory in Waterbury).

Then make them drive to Montreal or Quebec. It would add an interesting dynamic for them to have a self-drive first leg. It's a good drive to Quebec (4hours). So if that's too complicated, then maybe do 3 shuttle bus at the Ben and Jerry factory where teams have to sign in for 3 different buses. Plus, it would be hard for us to track them. (and cheaper then buying flights)

For a Montreal leg, I would have them stop at Fort de Chambly on the way, where they could do a New England/English Colony kind of task, and then the rest of the leg in Montreal.

I do like the discussion of Quebec, but in terms of Season 33, I think it’s out of the question, only because of timing. Quebec has some of the worst winters in Canada so I think it will definitely be absent in a winter season.

Probably won't be too bad if they're there in October or November

You guys really don't think they'll have a leg through Africa? It makes some of the best content imo.

I think they will bc they’re filming it in the fall and they didn’t go there in 32.

So are we sure this will be filming in october/november and not sooner, GP?

They updated their casting page and TAR34 is supposed to film in late february. Isn't it too close? 3 or 4 months between TAR33 & TAR34 filming.

NO. The casting site was updated ABOUT 33.

So all the info there including filming dates is for 33 not 34.

Not sure why things were pushed back...or if the earlier info was just incorrect. They are also working on Journey... so.

At the moment this is what we have...and happy for it!

It has believed that I saw the post from the casting application thread that the filming date for TAR 33 has been pushed back once again? I am in sarcasm right now  :carryon:

Perhaps a winter filming date could be unlikely for this?

Well, these are not good news. The original site said summer 2019 and now it's late february 2020. I wonder if this season will be even filmed sometimes...

I think they wanted to have 2 seasons available for this past season. If they had initially considered plugging 31 into the same January-Feb slot, then 32 could have possibly aired this summer, and 33 would need to be filmed. Since they only ended up using 1 season for this past year, 32 remains in the can for the next TV season, thereby eliminating the need to film 33 so soon. It prevents the cast of 33 from having to wait like 2 years for it to air at least!

Peach said that Journey's being worked on right now, and that's probably why everything for 33 was pushed into 2020. Perhaps all of the attention is being focused on Journey? Nothing to worry about regarding TAR.

The problem the year 2019 would be the first since 2001 that the original American Race has not being filmed or in-production within the entire year. As January-February filming date could be otherwise in the scheduled dates that would be the first season to film in winter in 16 years (TAR 5 filmed in January-February 2004).

Honestly, I don't see a problem when the production team has another show. Let them worry about what they're working on right now, because there's how many seasons of TAR in the can? You don't want too many TAR seasons being filmed and just collecting dust.

Now that filming has been pushed to January/February, I would suppose we would have a pretty serious winter season. I wouldn't be surprised by an overload of Central/South America, Africa, Middle East, Southeast and South Asia, and Oceania. If you ask me we might only see 1 or 2 legs in Europe.

Thinking about it, a 2020 filming might allow for production to sneak in an Olympic motif like in TAR6 (filmed in 2004) and TAR14 (filmed in 2008); whether that translates to tasks or actual locations who knows.

it could be interesting to see another olympic themed race for the 2020 summer olympic.... they haven't done olympic based race since 2012 tho but let's see what happen...

if they are gonna do ar olympic game it will be between TAR 14 esque (which they will visit to Japan again... which i don't like the idea of revisiting japan again ) or they could go to former olympic host countries there and do some tasks about olympic.. which we will get more europe/asia countries than other continents' (mostly europe) for the route (winter olympic based race counts too)
what might have been

TAR China 3 was an Olympic themed Race too.

Starting Line in LA of course, but possible Finish Lines in Olympic cities of St. Louis, Atlanta, Salt Lake City and would be interesting in Lake Placid or Squaw Valley/Lake Tahoe.

That could be great in a Southern summer season with mostly warm/humid/barely mild locations with some colder locations in winter.

Please cast more intelligent  F/F teams, TAR 25 is the only season in HD era with more F/F teams than M/M teams, and the producer should bring Intersection back as well as phase out Head to head task or at least not use it to elimination purpose!

Regarding that: Let's speculate on if this is coming back. Probably, but would production put one in during the middle of a leg? It would actually make more sense to do it then, only because it would be a good "can they come back from this" story. Doubt it would happen, though.

In an interview before TAR31's premiere and obviously after TAR32 was filmed, Phil was asked this and he basically said he doesn't see a difference whether or not it is placed at the end. So if it returns, I doubt they'd change it. Unfortunately.
