"MB, Probst and Hatch..."

Posted by Elwood on 03-21-01 at 01:16 PM
There's a link on SS.com's main site, to an interview/Q&A session with Hatch, Probst and MB. There are actually 2 links to summaries, one at Ain't It Cool News, and the other at Zap2It. The Ain't one seems to be better. Here's it's link:

Zap2It's is at: http://tv.zap2it.com/news/tvnewsdaily.html?16433

The most interesting tidbit is in the Ain't one, and is this:

"28) It was hinted that a contestant mutiny was contemplated at some point during “Survivor II.” Burnett indicated that avoiding this eventuality depended on establishing that “our word is law.” “It’s all about keeping them off balance all the time. You can’t blink. If you’re a producer, the minute you back down it’s over.” "

If anyone knows more about this, I'd love to hear about it. It's the first time I've seen this mentioned.

"Misprint?"

Elwood, I saw this as well in the AICN summary. I figured that it had to be a misprint, because the only near-mutiny that I'm aware of happened during S1, as I discuss on this link:

If anyone knows of any comparable activity is S2, please post it. Otherwise I think we can assume that this is an incorrect citation.
