Survivor: China

Leave a comment

The 15th season of Survivor will take place on mainland China.

Currently the US is watching season 14 set in Fiji, but ratings have not been glorious.

The Chinese shoot will be the first time the reality show has shunned an island setting since season 11 in Guatemala.

It is believed to be a coup for an American network to shoot an entire series in China.

The Survivor shoot is part of China’s on-going open policy to break-down cultural barriers, including its acquisition of the 2008 Olympic Games. In the US, the games will air on NBC while Survivor screens on CBS.

No word yet on when Nine will screen Survivor: Fiji after the late-night, low key screening of Survivor: Cook Islands.

  1. Just because it was on free to air doesn’t mean the original copyright holder no longer has any right to control its distribution.

    It *is* illegal, but who cares? 🙂

    The current Survivor is great. Go Yau-Man!

  2. one word: TORRENT

    lol

    Do the Networks realise if they dont show this we will see it anyways? (well some of us)
    C’mon it’s 2007, we have dreamed for years watching US Tv as it is always there long b4 us. We used to rely on Mags to spoil us but now we can see it 3 hours after is airs in the US thanks to the Torrent creator and the Fact I am 100 mtrs from my phone exchange.

    The networks should realise this and keep right up and airing things simultaneously then not bringing them back will create more Torrent buzz.

    I am looking forward to ‘China’ as I will be watching that when it’s on. Like this current survivor, which I quite like I might add, Oh that reminds me, I gotta go burn this latest episode.

    Also I heard TV show downloading is NOT illegal at all, it has already been on Free-to-Air somewhere in the world. Its the movies I steer clear from.
