Ronnet 1734 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Peanut Festival Grand Marshall" 10-04-01, 11:48 AM (EST) "SURVIVOR IV: NUKU HIVA?" SURVIVOR: NUKU HIVA?: The fourth edition of Survivor will be set on Nuku Hiva, a French Polynesian island about 900 miles northeast of Tahiti, according to the Tahiti Presse. Not surprisingly, producer Mark Burnett offered no confirmation of this during a telephone conference call yesterday. Burnett, however, did offer this modest critique of the third chapter, Survivor: Africa — debuting Oct. 11. "It's the best work I've ever done," he raved. "It's an incredibly memorable cast." Additionally, he urged viewers not to miss the debut's "first three minutes." Asked whether he is concerned that the public's appetite for reality television has waned following the Sept. 11 attacks, the überproducer responded: "I'm a viewer too, I'm totally in the mood for escapist television. There's only so much 24-hour news I can watch." http://www.tvguide.com/newsgossip/inthenews/011004.asp#B   Top

LAST EDITED ON 10-05-01 AT 10:42 PM (EST) ...doesn't seem very remote to me: http://www.tahiti-nui.com/about/Nuku/Default.asp NUKU HIVA - "Land of the Men" Nuku Hiva is the largest island in the Marquesas archipelago (Marquesas map : click here) with 330 sq. km. (127 sq. miles) of surface area. Its beauty from the sea or in the air high above the island is truly breathtaking. The 2,100 inhabitants live in Taiohae, Taipivai, Hatiheu, Aakapa, Pua, Haumi, Anaho and Hakaui, where they work for the government, the community, the Catholic church or school system or for themselves chopping copra high in the mountains, fishing, raising cattle and other livestock or sculpting bowls, platters, Marquesan ceremonial clubs, "tikis" and ukuleles. Taiohae is a pleasant village bordering the sea. It is the administrative, economic, educational and health center of the Marquesas Islands. The French and territorial administrators, the government buildings, police, post office, hospital, town hall, Air Tahiti office, banks, schools, stores and shops are located in Taiohae. Sundays and holidays are just as busy as any work day, when the villagers drive back and forth along the seafront road in their 4-wheel drive vehicles, calling out to their friends, and stopping to join the on going game of petanque or French bowls, played under a flowering flamboyant tree in front of the town hall. Nearby the women sit under a shelter and win money playing bingo. http://www.tahiti-nui.com/hotels/hotel.asp?hotelid=MarquisKeikahanui Located on Nuku Hiva, a 5 minutes ride from the capital town of Taiohae, it overlooks the magnificent Bay of Taiohae. The hotel offers 12 deluxe and 8 premium deluxe bungalows, all with views over the bay. The bungalows are built with local materials and each of them have carvings by a different artist. The bungalows mix comfort and aesthetic beauty, providing mini-bar, air conditioning, telephone, television, video, and bathroom with views over the bay and a panoramic terrace. -SB   Top

SurvivorBlows 15230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-05-01, 10:44 PM (EST) 3. "RE: SURVIVOR IV: NUKU HIVA?" My guess would be that they are not filming on Nuku Hiva itself, but on one of the uninhibited islands nearby: http://www.tahiti-tours.com/islands/main.asp?islandid=MR The Marquesas Islands, named by its people "Te Henua Enata" (Land of the Men), consist of six inhabited islands and six smaller unpopulated islands. They are divided into two distinct groups about 96 km. (60 miles) apart. Nuku Hiva, the administrative and economic center of the Marquesas, lies (1,500 km.) 932 miles northeast of Tahiti, in the northern group. Ua Huka and Ua Pou are also in this group, with the southern Marquesas including Hiva Oa, Tahuata and Fatu Hiva. Accommodations are available in small boarding or family homes on each island, and activities include Landrover excursions, horseback riding, hiking over mountain trails and to inland cascades, picnics on the beach or in the mountains, deep-sea fishing, sailing, motorboat rides, visits to archaeological sites with stone tikis, visits to artisan's workshops to buy wood carvings, tapa hangings and monoi perfumed oils.   Top

Man, this post I'm going to make has absolutely no spoiler value, but I feel bad for the poor saps on S3 -- they're dealing with loins, bad water, etc. and look at the place the S4 folks get to go: Survive? You must mean THRIVE! -SB   Top

Outfrontgirl 6830 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-07-01, 03:17 PM (EST) 6. "RE: SURVIVOR IV: NUKU HIVA?" Gorgeous pics, SB. It's indeed difficult to imagine the deprivations involved in camping here. The horror! It's possible the uninhabited islands have a shortage of fresh water. There MIGHT be snakes or mosquitos, but nothing like Pulau Tiga. A couple more bits of info: The Marquesas are much more off the tourist path than the Society Islands (Tahiti group) for a few reasons. As the map shows, they are rather far off to the northwest; you have to catch your air travel from the Tahiti/BoraBora groups and can't fly in directly from the mainland (may be a flight from Hawaii). I suspect they don't have an airstrip capable of landing big jets there. Most importantly, much of the tourism in French Polynesia comes via cruise boat, and Tahiti, Moorea, Bora-bora and other main islands have deep water harbors suitable for the big boats to come in. I learned from a former cruise director that none of the Marquesa islands have a real deep water harbor, so only smaller craft can get into land there. At least the Survivors won't be seeing jumbo jets and cruise ships as they would anywhere near Tahiti. Still, what a contrast from Jordan! I'm surprised Burnett's not off to the Amazon basin myself.   Top
