"Survivor 5 now confirmed !!!"

Posted by katem on 03-27-02 at 10:55 PM
E! Online is reporting that CBS just gave the order for Survivor 5 and that casting is currently in process. The location has not been set yet, but it will film in the Summer for a Fall premiere.

Hope they choose a good location like this current season, it has made a big difference over Africa.

I guess we can all look forward to more spoiling and bashing for later in the year.

Maybe I should apply as the lazy token black man. The check is already made out to me.

We have known that were was going to be a 5th season of Survivor for some time now. In fact, from what I have heard, MB plans on having at least 7 Survivors before calling it quits!!

If you don't believe me, go to this website:

I see nothing on this page that says anything about MB's plans. Even if he has plans for at least 7 seasons, that does not mean that CBS would pay for it, or that another network would pick it up.

I'm glad that there will be a S5, but I don't think this show will last forever. I mean alot of people are already getting sick of it. The die hard fans like us will always watch it, but i think the majority of people watching it now will get sick of the idea. I just hope that it'll still be around by the time I turn 21 so i can apply.

They are casting ???!!!
Okay, now everyone who wants to be on Survivor needs to become a Bartender, fast! Then spend some time hanging out at Belly and Hooters. Drink rancid water so you get used to it ( don't want to get sick the first week) Practice saying snide and witty things about everyone you know to a camera. Get some tatoos people!!! If you are middle aged and blond, stop taking your hormones now, so you can be really bossy , bitchy and bloated when you get there. If you have any kind of regional accent, practice running all your words together so no one can understand a thing you say. If you are a man of colar, pretend to be lazy and or angry, don't let anyone know you are smart and funny til you get there( imply you can read the minds of all other black people) If you are a young woman and think you own the world, start hating anyone over 30 who owns a better car then you do, and get some Breast implants fercryinoutloud.
Watch Cast Away , The Godfather, and Alien over and over.
Eat some Bugs and learn to swim!!

Preparation is the key!
Now mix me a cocktail!

Whose getting sick of it? The ratings for S4 are up over S3! The thing Burnett has to worry about is--what if CBS wants *more* Survivor after 7 and continues doing them without his blessing. (They own the rights to it now I believe) Because there are now so many Survivors, the media pays less attention to them and the water cooler talk is down, but it's still a wildly popular show.

For all intensive purposes, Survivor is cheap to make and is a Solid Top 10 performer.

I take offense at this.
I'm not a man of COLAR but as a black man I think I would have a 2 out of 16 chance of getting on if I applied. That seems to be the magic number on Survivor. I don't need to pretend to be lazy because I am but I don't know how to do angry.
I'm smart, funny, and can read minds so I think I'm gauranteed a spot. My luxury item will be a keg of beer and I'm going to claim that my poor mother needs an eye surgery or she'll go blind and it costs one million dollars.
The check is already made out to me.

Oh, they'll never approve of that as a luxury item -- it will make you far too qualified to pee on your castmates.

Ummm... where is the bashing in this thread?

This kind of gushing and "pick me, MB, pick me!" may be better suited for the Fanatics board!

I agree with some of the earlier posts - BurnIt loves the desperate bartenders and aspiring actors/actresses. Maybe I should get some breast implants, so I can get my spread in PlayGirl and/or some Marilyn Manson fan mag (and a fat wad of cash).

The whole point is to stand by to laugh at another group of mediawhores who sold their soul to BurnIt for a fleeting glimpse at fame, and (ooooh) maybe the opportunity to (oh my God) escort Julia Roberts to her seat at the Oscars, or (I can't hold back) judge the Miss America "scholarship competition"!

MB is taking the "look at me, look at me" urge of a few people (with a significant number of bankrupt no-talent aspiring actors/actresses who are working as bartenders like Scerri Manthey) and laughing all the way to the bank. Because he's taking advantage of people who VOLUNTEER for this kind of ridicule, I have no sympathy for any of the contestants. They should expect that there's people like me (and the Illustrious Basher Babes) who take great pride in making very personal and unfair comments about them.

Bash away, bash away, bash away all!!!

Well, you and I must read things a bit differenly--I don't feel a lot of love in this post.It may not be one the most vicious, but I hardly think these comments are flattering to MB, the series or the contestants.

Maybe I should apply as the lazy token black man. The check is already made out to me.

Thanks for catching me in an overreacting mode. Sorry. I used a howitzer to swat a fly. Seems I needed a little more coffee, so I could be a little more aware of what's going on when I was writing my initial reply.

"RE: Survivor 5 now confirmed !!!"
Posted by Dianetic on 03-28-02 at 04:37 PM
Thanks for the apology. I didn't want to cause any trouble about it. I was doing my best to bash people who apply even though I think it would be fun to be on the show. The starvation thing doesn't sound very fun and if my keg of beer isn't allowed, I'm getting out immediately. It would almost be worth my time to apply and do everything I could to get voted out immediately so I could be assured a 36 day vacation with proper accomodations.

I'm still trying to figure out your Maralyn Manson reference though. What did that mean?

Ooooh. Sorry. Part of being on a caffeine deprived roll. Marilyn Manson is a guy and I'm a guy. He had fake boobs put in.

Feeble attempt to combine the Sarah strategy for getting screen time with being a male.

Please chalk it up to internet use early in the morning and try not to hold it against me.

I read.. over at the entertainment gossip page of Iwon.com
that it will probably be somewhere in Central or South America
