Pagal | Thursday, April 11, 2002 - 11:03 am     This may be old news to some but it's new to me. Just read that CBS will air the Survival finale on Sunday, May 19th. It will be a 3-hour show. |
Julieboo | Thursday, April 11, 2002 - 11:14 am     Thanks Pagal. I didn't know. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 11, 2002 - 11:18 am     Alright! It must be the same aproach of a 2 hour show followed by an hour reunion show? That's what they have done previously. Seems to be a format that has worked well. |
Pagal | Thursday, April 11, 2002 - 11:20 am     You're welcome Julieboo. Lance - I think it will be the same approach they've used before. What will be interesting is seeing how MB makes the transition from the game to the live stage to announce the winner. |
Micknrc | Thursday, April 11, 2002 - 11:35 am     Current reporting has it in Central Park for a change (so Bryant doesn't have to take the redeye?)but CBS won't confirm yet. |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, April 11, 2002 - 02:18 pm     That is great news. I am chaperoning a school trip and we are leaving on a Friday night and not getting back til late on the 18th. I was afraid they might hold part of it on Wednesday. |
Grooch | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 01:07 pm     From the NY Post SURVIVOR WINNER: CENTRAL PARK By DON KAPLAN April 11, 2002 -- GET ready for "Survivor: Central Park." The reunion epsiode of "Survivor: Marquesas" - part of the finale during which the latest $1-million winner will be crowned - is likely to be telecast live from Central Park, 6,000 miles from the Tahitian island where the reality show was filmed last winter, according to CBS sources. The popular reality show, which was taped on the island of Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific, wraps up May 19. A New York City Parks Department spokeswoman yesterday referred calls to CBS, which declined to comment. In the past, the reunion special begins as soon as the finale ends. The last three installments have wrapped up on live TV on sets designed to resemble the show's tribal council area. January's "Survivor: Africa" winner/reunion special was so skillfully done, it was hard to tell that the castaways were on a set in Los Angeles rather than the Kenyan National Park, Shaba Game Reserve, where the show had been filmed months before. Also up in the air, is whether Bryant Gumbel will host the "Survivor" special as he's done in the past. Gumbel, a co-host on "The Early Show" is leaving CBS when his contract is up at the end of May. |
