Highlander | Wednesday, June 27, 2001 - 08:26 am   SHABA GAME RESERVE, Kenya (June 26) - The park ranger turns tourists away at a roadblock, a front loader pours gravel into a dump truck and a generator whirs in the distance. All are giveaways that this reserve - where the movie ''Born Free'' was filmed a generation ago - is being readied for the third edition of CBS' blockbuster series, ''Survivor.'' CBS confirmed the location Tuesday. Two-thirds of the semi-arid reserve, 140 miles north of Nairobi, has been closed to everyone but a production crew and the giraffe, zebras and warthogs that wander through. When told that ''Survivor'' is a game show in which 16 contestants try to outlast each other in the wilderness to win $1 million, the reserve's senior game warden, Abdi Boru, looked puzzled and asked, ''Really?'' Boru said he had been told only that a film crew called Mwandiga, Swahili for ''to leave one behind,'' had leased the park. In the show's first two editions, staged on a South Pacific island and in the Australian Outback, the network managed to keep the set off-limits to the public and the game's outcome secret until the show aired several months after filming. Kenyans involved in the latest ''Survivor,'' to air in the fall, said they signed confidentiality agreements. But word of mouth around here, called the ''bush telegraph,'' has it that crew members soon will be flown in from California and Australia to begin filming. Some Nairobi residents said they were asked to take part in a test run at the Shaba location before the 16 contestants arrive. Some of the Kenyans said they were chosen for their appearance (young, fit and white). In past ''Survivor'' shows, producers have said, they used body doubles for filler shots. In this case, the extras are being used to test the immunity and reward challenges that producers are preparing, said CBS spokesman Chris Ender. They will not be involved in filming the series. The reserve is owned and operated by Isiolo County. It earns the county about $615,000 a year, which pays for schools, hospitals and other programs, said County Clerk Adnan Racho. Racho said he signed a confidentiality agreement and could not say how much the county was paid for the four-month lease. ''They are very concerned about secrecy,'' he said. The Daily Nation newspaper, citing an environmental group Waso Trust Land Project, said the county's lease agreement was for $192,000. Ender would not comment on how much was paid for use of the park. For locals chosen to help out, ''Survivor'' will mean some much-needed cash. Kenya's economy shrank by 0.3 percent last year, and May saw the lowest number of tourists in the East African nation since it started keeping track nearly four decades ago. The average rural Kenyan lives in a mud hut and makes less than a dollar a day. James Gituanja, manager of the luxury Sarova Shaba Lodge on the reserve, said he was approached to rent out his hotel by the ''Survivor'' crew. He declined, wanting to serve regular customers, but some crew members eat there and his staff has helped set up tents for them. Gituanja said he was already counting the tourists the show will generate. ''We expect that 'Survivor' will have a very big impact because it reaches 40 million people,'' he said. ''We are very hopeful, if it shows the park in a positive way.'' The production has concerned some environmentalists, however. Workers on the reserve, who have seen the set, said two buildings and a temporary swimming pool have been built. Representatives of Waso Trust Land Project and several Kenyan journalists were detained Monday after they entered the cordoned area. The group met with ''Survivor'' producers on Tuesday to discuss their concerns, said Amos Marenya, an editor at The East African Standard newspaper. Executive producer Mark Burnett has always been committed to working with respect for the environment, Ender said. ''Mark has learned through trial and error how to return the land to the same condition, and in some cases better condition, than it was when he started,'' he said. The Sarova Shaba Lodge overlooks the Ewaso Ng'iro river, where crocodiles slither into the water at sunset. The show's producers have said the contestants will build and live in traditional mud-and-dung huts like those of the Samburu people. They'll spend their days covered in beige dust like everything else, and walk alongside reticulated giraffes and Grevy's zebras, an endangered species. And they'll have to hope the crew keeps the leopards and lions out of their camps at night. Millions of people, particularly the nomadic Samburu, live like that every day in Kenya. ''Survivor'' has never aired on Kenyan TV. |

Max | Thursday, August 30, 2001 - 08:30 am   There's a gal from Portland, OR in the cast! Local newspaper had her picture when she returned to town last week. Of course, she's not talking about the experience, so no way to tell how far she made it in the game. Another good reason for me to tune in (like I needed one!). |
