ruSurvivor fans really need to be on alert lately, with extra episodes and amendments proving to be their own Survivor Challenge.

Updated: But it’s good news for them with a double episode slated for 7:30pm Tuesday December 15. Continues in doubles Dec 22.

If Nine keeps up the double eps through summer it might minimise damaging leaks about the winner, given the season is currently airing in the US.

On Tuesday it took 788,000 third in its slot behind The 7:30 Report and Accidentally on Purpose.

Seven was fourth with Gary Unmarried.

Nine moves the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding to 9:30pm, but die-hard reality fans could feasibly watch 2 hrs of Survivor and switch over to The Amazing Race on Seven afterwards.

  2. CBS / Burnett cut down the opening credits to simply the logo for episodes with more content they need to put in. The sad thing is that now they cut out each eliminated contestant from the opening credits as the show goes along, Marisa becomes the first person not to get an opening credit.

  6. this is great tuesdays are reality nights survivor then the amazing race my two favourit shows in a row oooooooooo yah the hopfully we get season 20 of survivor and season 16 of amazing race on the same day next year.

  11. Also reality fans – Amazing Race repeats (not sure of season yet) on 7TWO from 1pm Thur Dec 10. Daily! (as in weekdays), Hopefully it is S13 or earlier (but not S12) as S14 and S15 (currently airing) have seen them all. S12 on Arena Sat 8.30pm.

  13. jh, Survivor screens 2 seasons per year – pretty much September-December, and then roughly Feb through to May. I’ll be racking up frequent flyer points with Craig and watching the finale in a few weeks. Can’t wait, it’s been a brilliant season. Lots of clapping in this house at the events in many of this season’s tribal councils.

  15. David – this is incorrect. Double eps don’t start until 15/12 and Mr & Mrs Smith is still in the schedule on 08/12. Big Fat Greek Wedding was always in for 15/12

  17. Tuesdays will not be the best night of the week for long if they go through episodes like they did with Tocantins. Better to have one episode per week so the pleasure is prolonged.

  18. @Dan As a guess, I don’t want to find out what happens, we are about 7 or 8 weeks but it could be more or less than that. If we have doubles most of summer without interruption from the cricket but thats unlikely as one day games are usually played on Tuesdays. We should close to up to the US by the end of summer.

  19. Dan, today the US will air there 12th episode of Samoa so we are abit behind.

    I want to see how long it takes for ch9 to take survivor off our tv’s. Knowing them it wont last long.

  22. Good move by Nine. They should be able to fastrack season 20 next Feb, provided ratings hold up. Hopefully there won’t be too much Survivor fatigue with Gabon-Tocantins-Samoa and possibly 20 airing one right after another.
