"When does..."
Posted by mhb0125 on 12-12-05 at 04:21 AM
I love Survivor and watch every season but I'm not in the loop like a lot of you guys. This may be a stupid question to ask, but when does the new season start? Is it after the Super Bowl like usual? Thanks a bunch!!!

Usually they announce it, but this time they didn't for some reason.

It will start either at the end of January or the beginning of February. Keep checking back either here or the cbs site and there will be an announcement sometime.


mind the gap

Thanks, I thought I had missed it. And do any of you know exactly how many votes Danni got? Jeff usually announces that as well but didn't or I flaked out when he did.

mhb0125, She got all the votes except for Rafe. It showed at one point in the show everyone holding up who they voted for. I felt bad for Stephenie, thought she played a better game, she was "out in the open" fighting all the way. Oh well, can't wait for the next Survivor! (Starts in Jan. or Feb.)

Well, if the new season does actually start later, it will be a perfect opportunity to catch up on all the re-runs on OLN...

According to E! Online (http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,17949,00.html?tnews) the new season doesn't start until Spring 2006, so it looks like we'll be in for a few month's wait!

EPMB and CBS probably want the final to be in May which is a ratings period. Also CBS has the NCAA basketball tournment in March so it could start right after that.

During the early rounds of the NCAA Tourney, Survivor usually airs on Wednesday nights (two weeks), then returns to its Thursday slot.

It most likely will start on March 2, 2005, the Thursday after the Winter Olympics is over.

Wow, that seems so late! I'd better sign up for some of the mid-season games, or I'll feel really disconnected.

Wow you scared me with the Spring 2006 talk... I forgot that you meant the American Spring... in Australia Spring's not until next September... now that would be a really long hiatus! Has there been any more talk of Jeff having quit?

And a Tooheys New Year!

Jeff is staying -- not sure of the details of his deal, but he's staying.

Good - I didn't want to see ANY former contestant host it, as the series would lose continuity. And bringing in an outsider would be even worse.

Actually... maybe Richard Hatch I could bear to see. After all, at his audition, he said not only would he be winning the million but hosting the show afterwards.

I didn't think anything could force me to stop watching Survivor. But Hatch as host would probably do it. Jiffy is smarmy enough.

He signed through season 16, so we have at least 5 more with him.

Just to echo what one poster has already said, I've heard from a few places that March 2 is probably the debut of Exile Islands. As it turns out, this date is perfect insofar as it would begin almost immediately after the Olympics and, as long as the format remains similar in terms of # of episodes, it would end right at the end of May sweeps...both of these factors bode very well for CBS.

According to a commercial during this weeks Survivor on OLN, the new season Exile Island, starts on Feb 2. Strange that they're competing against the olympics. There will be 16 survivors in 4 tribes, Young vs. Old, Men vs. Women. Not sure how thats going to work, but thats what the commercial said.

Thanks so much for the update!!! I am so glad I don't have to wait til March.

I LOVE the Olympics, but I do tend to get cranky if they are held a half a world away and all I get are highlights from that days events. I wish they would show them as they are happening. I am often up late at night and I think it is dumb when they will show the same highlights 24 hours per day (3 and 4 times in a row), but no live events-even when live events are happening.

Can't wait to see Exile Island!! I LOVE Survivor!!!

Usually it is broadcast immediately after the Super Bowl, so February 2nd makes sense. Sounds like a lot of changes this time around. I'm not sure the show needed that many changes. We will see how it works.
