There are at least 2 teams (twins & RTV couple) from original cast whom are pretty active on SM so I am assuming they are not filming this. Then there is team which was already eliminated in 1st leg in 2020 and it was confirmed this team is back for this.

So do you think they just replaced teams who could not make it this time with already eliminated teams and resuming it from 4th leg? Or are they completely reruning this since 1st leg with original cast (including teams eliminated in 2020) and brand new teams added to the cast as well (to replace these whom couldn't make it this time)?

They're "influencers." I wouldn't be surprised if they had people running their social media accounts for them, lol.
Unless they're posting recent stuff that explicitly shows the date...? Also if they're in a 2-week quarantine they may still have their phones.


yes to someone running their social media. NO to having phones. And I do not think that couple will be back.:)

If they are using a chartered plane, on which all 11 teams would be on from starting line->1st destination with no need to rush to the airport to get on the 1st of 2-3 flights like usual -- would it be possible the starting line happened already in a closed location, the teams then privately shuttled off to a private part of the airport (don't know how chartered flights leave LAX), flown to first destination on said charter plane, and currently quarantining/at their first destination right now?

I believe they are currently racing, but more experience spoilers don’t believe they will kick off racing until next week. I don’t know how the spotting racers works, but I say be on the look out already. Exciting times either way.

Do we know for sure if they are really doing a "2nd run" (like starting from leg 1 again) or are they starting from leg 3/4 (where they stopped). I know the route is completely different now, but are the first 2/3 legs just cancelled now?

I have no clue, but I personally believe they will keep the prior race legs and piece it all together. I think it would add to the story line. They have never had a halt like this. I think it would be intriguing to get a taste of how the dynamics changed over the course of a year away from racing. Not that they would ever want to do that again, but what an awesome twist that adds. Just my opinion.

I forgot the Emmys are tonight. Right after makes more sense. If Phil/exec producers in the audience then we'll know they didn't start yet.

The way I’ve reasoned through this is if even one team originally cast and not eliminated for season 33 was not able to return, there’s no way those original three legs could count. The language in the network announcement back in February of last year clearly showed it was intended to pick up from where the suspension took place, but the advent of the Delta variant, as the hypothetical possible that not all cast and production got vaccinated, may mean those intentions were set aside.
Plus the rumors of the charter aircraft and the international travel environment suggest substantial changes in the rules and procedures such as not using local based crews, using technologies in ways we haven’t seen before, my favorite idea is covering task locations with drone cameras, and even total self driving with internet based maps, again minimizing exposure to using locals for taxis or getting directions. (For those of you wondering, I know nothing, But I’ve been looking at this and reasoning out what are possible ways to minimize contact with locals who may or may not be vaccinated and recognizing quarantine and testing rules in some places.) I suspect this may be the most challenging environment for filming a Race, or for spoiling specifics since, well, ever.

That’s interesting. I won’t be watching those, so let this thread know what you see please.

I suspect this may be the most challenging environment for filming a Race, or for spoiling specifics since, well, ever.

Given the team who revealed they were flying to Los Angeles for 'something big' were likely eliminated in the first legs filmed in 2020, it indicates to me that most of the 33 cast is returning, but perhaps not 1-2 teams. Therefore, we might be seeing a restart, which would explain why this eliminated team is being allowed to return.

I did note the plane has been making trips to London recently, so I contemplated speculation around re-filming a leg in England-Scotland with the updated cast.

I love some of your ideas for filming theschnauzers. I am also fascinated to see how they get around taxi trips and directions from locals!

I just do not get why would they throw away 3 already filmed legs and start from the beggining? Unless like 3 original teams from F8 could not make filming this time... Adding brand new teams and starting from the beginning seems so strange, considering other teams have history together.

My guess would be they didn't get everyone to come back.

All of this is just us speculating. I don’t feel it’s necessary for everyone to come back to keep whatever prior legs they have. If they were to bring in new racers, I could see that as an unfair advantage, but as long as it’s just the originals that were already racing, no reason to discard prior race legs. Racers might feel somewhat slighted if they bring eliminated racers back, but it’s not much different than when a team is last an luckily are on a leg where they don’t get eliminated.

I think they only filmed 3 legs last time, so let's say only 1 team still in it can't make it, then it would be easy to ask one of the three teams eliminated to come back and replace them. A bit like the first team eliminated in Amazing Race Australia 5.

Best case scenario is, if we were at the top 8, to get all the teams remaining (let's say only 6 could race again, then replace the last 2 with two already eliminated teams).

It would be a waste to have those first two episode and not use them. BUT I think they needed to add new teams (aka there was more team that couldn't do the race than teams eliminated) than I can see a reshoot.

The US lifted the testing restrictions for people coming from the UK & EU, maybe they’re going to re-route and come through one of those places last. I’m sure they have contacts in the Transportation Department.

I don't think they would throw the eliminated teams in midstream.

Also suppose the non returning teams were leading?

No evidence, but my guess is we are seeing a whole new do-over. Makes the most sense to me.

Avid, they’ll be calling what we’re expecting to happen season 33, not 34. If there’s a sequsterville, I wouldn’t be surprised if is placed in the U.S. to minimize the risk of COVID-19 exposure. I take it on face value that safety and health are the top priority of production this time around. Much like how adjustments were made for filming TAR 2, twenty years ago, just after 9/11, having to deal with greatly enhanced airport and aircraft security. I remember to this day the problems teams had to depart from Las Vegas at the beginning of the Race. JMO, but TPTB are going to do everything in their power to keep cast, crew, and production safe.

Stay tuned!

OK...thank u. I believe the show it's a safe haven for the cast and crew. Thank u for the brief history of security checks. . The cast looked good back then.  Looking at the archives. Can-not wait - to see them again . Am also interested in seeing the crew. We know some of them and have become accustomed to them  :ghug: :kuss: :tup:

Ok, so because they are visting UK again it's more than likely that they throw away 3 filmed legs from 2020 and started again from Leg 1. I wonder how many original teams are in the cast? And how many new ones? Also I think that team which was already eliminated in 2020 did not deserved to come back fo this. It's kind of ridicilous that they gave them 2nd chance instead of cast another new team.

A Los Angeles based airplane spotter caught an airplane land at LAX today that had "The Amazing Race" written on its side:

I don’t know if there is a way to get eyes on this charter plane currently at STN airport, but if so, someone needs to camp out and watch for racers to board for next destination, where ever that might be. It is believed they are racing now.

   You can continue to discuss any pre-race issues here (for now).

BUT all current racing comments need to go into that thread from now forward.

Thanks!

ah this is exciting!, I'm hoping they'll pick up from where they left of similar to what Drag Race Uk Season 2 did
