CBS's other big reality competition series, Survivor, however, will air this fall in its usual time period of Wednesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.
The Amazing Race's upcoming edition will be comprised of former Big Brother houseguests, TMZ previously reported, including Rachel Reilly and James Huling.
But there have been subsequent rumors the Season 31 cast will actually be a mix of Big Brother veterans as well as returning The Amazing Race contestants.
Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson, who met on Big Brother's nineteenth edition last summer and joined The Amazing Race as a dating couple, ending up winning the $1 million on Season 30 of The Race earlier this year. The lovebirds also got engaged in February 2018.
Meanwhile, the first season of Celebrity Big Brother ran as counter-programming to NBC's broadcasts of the Winter Olympics in February and aired its finale on February 25.
