Definitely. It's going to be all reality shows all the time for a couple months.

You can already get an idea by the deleted scenes they cut out of the 60 minute episodes like this one from 2 weeks ago.

In Survivor anyway, the people are being recorded 24/7 and we only see 40 minutes of that footage a week, 80 if its a double episode. It won't be hard to stretch.

I wouldn't doubt it. It's also two shows that are super cheap to make. With the prize money, they're basically paying the entire cast what you would have to pay one A-List actor for 2-3 episodes.

The prize money for all teams for the most recent season of Amazing Race was $1.064 Million. By comparison, Kevin Costner gets $1.2 Million PER EPISODE for Yellowstone.

It's said that it costs about $2 million per episode to make a season of Survivor. That's what John Krasinski alone gets per episode of Jack Ryan.
