PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Update on future Survivor plans, including All-Star" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-14-02 AT 11:37 AM (EST)http://www.tvguide.com/newsgossip/insider/020613b.asp All-Star Survivor Scoop! Survivor fans anxious to see former castaways Susan Hawk and Jerri Manthey claw each other's eyes out will have to cool their heels for at least another year. The much-talked-about championship edition — pitting the franchise's biggest stars against one another — won't happen until fall 2003 at the earliest. According to CBS rep Chris Ender, a regular "average Joe" installment — not the all-star version — will follow Survivor: Thailand in the spring. "Survivor 6 will (feature) regular, soon-to-be-discovered Americans," he tells TV Guide Online. "The all-star Survivor is something that we're very interested in pursuing in the future — we're just not certain at this point when we're going to do it." That said, Ender confirms that recruiting Richard, Tina, Colby, Rudy and Co. in time for next season was under consideration. The advantages for CBS are obvious: Survivor will likely face the fight of its life opposite the last season of Friends, which is expected to score record ratings as it builds toward its May swan song. "The Friends factor had nothing to do with it," Ender insists, "but we did briefly talk about whether Survivor 6 was the right time to do it. But based on the success of Survivor: Marquesas and the interesting crop of people we will soon announce for Survivor: Thailand, we thought that going with regular Americans is the best route right now." Of course, when it comes to counterprogramming Thursdays at 8 pm, the Eye Network may want to sit out the second half of the season. "Even a diehard Survivor fan might find it difficult to not bid adieu to Friends," says Mediaweek's Marc Berman. "After nine seasons in the top 10, Friends is going out with a ratings bang, and not even the power of Survivor can stop it." For his part, Survivor producer Mark Burnett isn't staying awake nights worrying about how viewers will vote. "All I can deliver is a great show — and scheduling is CBS's problem," he says. "I stopped thinking about that kind of stuff during Survivor 2." edited to get rid of hidden text - now I'm off to write an apology letter to my Bestest Buddy, the preview button.

Thanks for the article Bebo. I personally am glad that they are holding off on the All-Star Survivor because I have no interest in watching it.

http://www.tvguide.com/newsgossip/insider/020613b.asp Should we keep this in mind until after S5 or go ahead and speculate now? (Chuckles at Bebo's unintentional use of hidden text; hey, I've copied the brackets in stories before, I chuckled at me at the time.) >According to CBS rep Chris Ender,

Thanks for the article. Am I the only one looking forward to the reunion? I keep envisioning a Superfriends tribe vs. Legion Of Doom tribe. It would keep me interested.
