Host: Jeff Probst
Executive Producer: Mark Burnett
Production: Survivor Entertainment Group Inc.

Pulau Tiga may have had the sweltering heat and creepy crawlies (not to mention Richard Hatch) and the Outback may have threatened with flooding rains and venomous snakes, but those locations for the previous episodes of SURVIVOR are Club Med vacations compared with the home of this fall's SURVIVOR AFRICA. Zebras, charging elephants, weather that's a challenge in itself, dark jungles, the vast Serengeti--who knows where the action will take us this time? It's a whole new terrain, but the formula's the same: 16 strangers, two tribes, one Survivor, a million bucks--and executive producer Mark Burnett, who returns with this latest installment of his record-breaking phenomenon that pits the best against the best and often brings out the worst, with each trying to outwit, outplay and outlast the others in the quest to be declared the Ultimate Survivor. SURVIVOR AFRICA: it's no camping safari.

Amac,

From what I am reading cast dossiers will possibly be released on the Sept. 25 Early Show. For sure they should be a part of the Oct. 4 Special. Last year the list was out before the show started for promotion so hopefully they will follow suit this year. Hard to tell how things will go due to the state of the nation and the tragedy we have suffered :(

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help get the Survivor III area organized. I don't think we really did anything for Survivor II as I recall. If you have suggestions to make easier to navigate around, etc, let me know. If I can't do it, I will pass them on to Neil.

New 'Survivor' Series to Be Hungrier and 'Stinkier'
September 25, 2001 8:28 pm EST

By Doug Young
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hot bodies are out and carbohydrates are in on the next edition of CBS's smash reality series "Survivor.
Unlike the second "Survivor" that featured a younger cast chock full of beautiful bods, the new cast is a more motley crew whose members cover a wider range of ages and are even endowed with the once unthinkable: body fat.
Among the 16 contestants on "Survivor: Africa," two are "tubby guys," said Joe Rhodes, a TV Guide reporter who spent a few days in July on the set with the crew.
One of the two tubby fellows, Tom Buchanan, is a 46 year old goat farmer from Virginia. The other, Carl Bilancione, is a 46-year-old dentist from Florida.
"The first cast was interesting, and the second was more eye candy -- many people thought they were boring," said Rhodes, whose stories on the new show will appear in next week's issue of TV Guide. "The third cast is a combination."
In fact, the third group may be more well rounded -- literally -- on purpose on the advice of the "Survivor" show doctor who told people to fatten up in advance, Rhodes said.
"All the people got so thin last year that these people were advised they should carbo load," he said. "The calorie intake is 200 to 500 calories a day once the show starts."
The food situation -- already bad in the first two shows -- will be even worse in the third show because no hunting is allowed on the game reserve where the action is set.
NO PIGLETS
"There will be no wandering piglets this year," Rhodes said, in a reference to a graphic and controversial sequence in the second "Survivor" where contestants hunted down and killed a wild pig.
Rhodes said this year's crew also will likely be much smellier than past ones due to limited washing opportunities. The one major river accessible to the cast is infested with crocodiles, while a nearby spring contains numerous parasites.
"They're going to be hotter, they're going to be hungrier and they're going to be stinkier," Rhodes said.
The other 14 contestants, whose names were announced on Tuesday by CBS, are:
-- Clarence Black, 24, a high school basketball coach from Michigan;
-- Jessie Camacho, 27, a deputy sheriff from Florida;
-- Teresa Cooper, 42, a flight attendant from Georgia;
-- Silas Gaither, 23, a bartender from Tennessee;
-- Frank Garrison, 43, a telephone technician from New York;
-- Kelly Goldsmith, 22, a behavioral research analyst from California;
-- Kim Johnson, 57, a retired school teacher from New York;
-- Diane Ogden, 42, a mail carrier from Nebraska;
-- Kim Powers, 29, a freelance marketer from Pennsylvania;
-- Brandon Quinton, 25, a bartender from Texas;
-- Lindsey Richter, 27, an advertising account executive from Oregon;
-- Linda Spencer, 44, a career counselor from Massachusetts ;
-- Lex van den Berghe, 38, a marketing manager from California; and
-- Ethan Zohn, 27, a professional soccer player from Massachusetts

Thank goodness they're putting in some true representatives of American culture. With a large percentage of the population being obese, it'll be uplifting to see some more fat folks on television for a change. How long they'll stay that way remains to be seen.

The folks in PA are probably cheering for Kim II, who comes from Conshohocken (near Philadelphia). How will the cast deal with two Kims, I wonder?

Yeah, but notice that both of the fat people are male. Being a tubby male is acceptable on TV, a tubby female is generally not (although The Mole breaks ground here, yay for them).

Well, there is Camryn Manheim (The Practice) and Delta Burke (though she had to reduce because of diabetes, she still champions large women with her clothing line).

Well, this will be a first for me. I have never watched the Survivor show. My first reality show was BB2 and I really enjoyed that. I'm going to give this a whirl.

Voyuer, did you watch Bootcamp? They had Lt Harr as a contestant, and even though she didn't win, she did great and had so much spirit. :)

Cinapoo, you're new to Survivor AND The Mole!! You're gonna 'em both. Personally I think they're two of the best shows in reality TV land.
