I wonder what they will do with Survivor and Drag Race, both of which are dependant on live finales... if they were smart they would have rush taped them last week without audiences but that obviously didn't happen...

RPDR UK Production was shut down, I think they anticipated filming that before the finale of this current season
if by May restrictions have been lifted and we have better control over the spread, they'll likely do an in-studio thing

but who knows everything is to a halt

if survivor just has jeff reading the votes and then has live webcam interviews, it wont lose too much

but rpdr is much more of a spectacle- i don't know how that would translate

LOL after all the promo / hype that CBS has put into promoting Season 40... watching someone win $2 Million over webcam would be so anticlimactic

I would be THRILLED to have a finale that's not half "Jeff interviews children from the CBS staff" though LOL

[syphilisdiller]

honestly, same- i'm thinking this will be the best finale because it wont have all that extra bullshit lol

i'd feel a little bit bad for the winner not having their big moment on stage, but they've all gotten it before

With the Sherry Pie drama I think Drag Race would be better without the live finale, and is not even live come on, it would be easier to pre record interviews with all the queens and just have the finale like the earlier seasons.
