    I don't have a fixed timeline, but considering that contestants have to clear things with their jobs, have to find sitters and were able to put in a lot of training, it has to be at least a few months notice.

    I think it varies from team to team. For example Ernie & Cindy knew they were going to be on for, I believe, 1 month, Kristi & Jen didn't know they were 100% percent going on until 12 days before it began, and Chris & Bret didn't know they were going on until like a week before it started filming.

    What evidence do you have for any of this? I can't find any proof Bertram mentioned anything about Austria, Vietnam, OR South America, let alone any of the other places you're just speculating about.

    Bertram confirms Austria, Vietnam, and South America in this interview

     

  3. The TAR plane that was spotted at LAX Wednesday has a flight from Zurich to London (STN airport) in a couple of hours, keep a lookout for teams in the area. This by no means confirms that TAR 33 resumed filming but if it did and we didn’t catch it, keep a lookout for any teams just in case.

    What if some racers refuse to get vaccinated?

    Getting the covid vaccine will likely be a requirement similar to how TAR 15 racers were required to get vaccinated.

    Is this the route that production is planning to use for TAR 33?, because if so this would be a major step up from the other mid-pandemic season.

    Spoiler

    If production is really planning to restart the race instead of resuming it I wonder if they will redesign the London and Glasgow legs since teams already completed those legs. As much as I would love a visit to Indianapolis I feel like Boston should be a no-brainer for production.

    We hope to get them out as soon as there is a piece of the world that opens up that allows enough legs of travel.

    I take this as production scrapping the rest of the planned 9 or 10 legs for S33. Hopefully they will put the remaining legs into a singular season (maybe S34 if TAR gets renewed) and they don't get divided amongst two separate seasons like the cancelled legs from S15.

  7. Looking at current vaccination rates and projections for countries and currently covid safe countries, I think we might see TAR 33 resume filming by Q4 of this year at the earliest and March of 2022 at the latest. I think due to the current situation this might force a first time visit to Israel & a Caribbean nation and a revisit to Australia (after 15 seasons). I think that because TAR 33 is being suspended for so long this season might be released just a couple of months after it finished filming, just like older seasons.
