Behind the scenes, internet, gyms, hot showers, hot food and bar...
Spunky | Friday, November 23, 2001 - 07:47 pm   I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. On Extra it was shown how the crew gets going behind the scenes and Jeff explaining how they keep going. It's like an oasis in the desert, I saw the trademills and gym equipment, the iMacs for internet (one just like mine! The blue one)the gourmet meals cooked and served right on the spot, the showers and lots of good beer and other goodies and this not very far from the tribes camps. I hope someone else saw this and so knows what I'm talking about it. Those poor Survivor players to suffer so while behind their backs they're having a ball... |
Joan | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 12:40 am   There is a clip of this on the CBS.com website. It looks pretty sweet! Jeff said it is a running joke on the set that while the Survivors are starving, the crew is getting fat. |
Car54 | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 04:33 am   I imagine they have to treat the crew pretty well to get them to travel and stay in such places for long stretches. Thanks Spunky & Joan |
Sunshinemiss | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 04:46 am   I saw that too, it was interesting. Jeff said they learned the hard way to bring their creature comforts with them, on the first Survivor series they evidentally didn't, per Jeff they hired a local woman to cook for them and that it was soooo bad, they didn't even recognize some of the things they were served. They were concerned that they couldn't get a crew to come out for the months it took to film if they didn't improve the surroundings. |
Spunky | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 02:45 pm   By the time they filmed "behind the scenes" Jeff was already too thin and so I wonder if it was for too much workout or some Africa bug that got him.. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 04:25 pm   Yeah, I remember hearing after the first Survivor that the host Jeff had lost just as much weight as any of the cast. Like 20 some lbs. I did see a behind the scenes thing for Australia. Apparently they produced a terremendous amount of trash for the local dump, but didn't have to pay any taxes. Ticked off the locals good. |
