http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/Changes-In-Store-For-SURVIVOR-In-China.aspx Changes are in store for this season of SURVIVOR. Some of them good and some of them…? We’ll have to see how they play out. The SURVIVOR hype machine has gone into overdrive promoting this season’s location: China. It bills this as the first American series filmed entirely in this country. Honestly, the location has never been that interesting to this regular SURVIVOR watcher. What makes or breaks the season is the players and SURVIVOR seems content to stock the show with both the recruited and the volunteered. This time there are even a couple of quasi-celebrities with a WWE female wrestler, a Christian Radio host and a professional poker player. I think it’s hard for the producers and host Jeff Probst to hold themselves above the messy affairs of loosely scripted reality TV and then cast these professional attention hogs but I’ll still watch. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/Changes-In-Store-For-SURVIVOR-In-China.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/17/Changes-In-Store-For-SURVIVOR-In-China.aspx#1459 Hey man, Exile Island was cool!
