When the pandemic caused a shutdown in March, filming on season 33 of The Amazing Race had already begun. For the safety of all involved, the race was stopped and everyone returned home. It seems likely that, whenever this COVID-19 crisis ends, that season 33 will resume or restart. However, there is a slight possibility that CBS could cancel the series because of the long delay. Several scripted shows have been cancelled for the same reason. Will The Amazing Race return for season 33? If so, how soon? Stay tuned.
A CBS reality competition TV series, The Amazing Race is hosted by Phil Keoghan. The competition features 11 pairs of contestants racing around the world in pursuit of a million-dollar prize. In season 32, the globe-trotting teams begin their adventure from the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and travel to places like Trinidad, Tobago, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and more.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the The Amazing Race TV series on CBS? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a 33rd season?
I didn’t like the alliances they allowed this year, and hope they forbid it in future seasons. Should forbid helping each other also with answers to challenges.
I also don’t like when a cab driver gets a team lost (which happened on the final leg by the way), you would think the crew when they’re waiting for the contestants would go up to the cab drivers, and tell them what location they’re going to.
The last leg of this season was just AWFUL very boring challenges, and the last puzzle was way too simple.
After 32 seasons, still one of my all-time favorites. I’ll watch as long as they produce it. Excellent show. Always has been.
