Grooch | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 12:20 pm     People: Thailand OKs shooting of new `Survivor' on tropical island sun-sentinel;.com Posted April 12 2002, 10:14 AM EDT BANGKOK, Thailand -- ``Survivor'' creator Mark Burnett received approval from the government to shoot the fifth season of his reality series on a tropical island where political prisoners were once sent to languish, an official said Friday. The approval Thursday came over the objections of some environmentalists, who were concerned that the filming of the Leonardo DiCaprio movie ``The Beach'' on another island two years ago caused coastal erosion and other blight. ``After going through the entire production process, we're confident there won't be any problems,'' said Sidhichai Jayant, director of the Film Board Secretariat. ``There won't be any landscape changes. Everything is under our control.'' He said the show's producers would spend at least $4.55 million and be allowed 40 days to film the show on Tarutao Island National Park, 602 miles outh of Bangkok. Shooting begins in July. A CBS spokesman on Friday wouldn't confirm the location of the next installment of ``Survivor,'' in which 16 people compete for a $1 million top prize. The current season, ``Survivor: Marquesas,'' takes place on an island in the South Pacific. Previous seasons were set on the island of Pulau Tiga, off the coast of Borneo; in the Australian Outback; and in Africa. |

Fflur | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 02:31 pm     I still vote for...Alaska, Canada, Greenland...you get it. Something different. I love Survivor, but a change of pace would be nice. |
Kaili | Friday, April 12, 2002 - 07:03 pm     I agree, nut they probably don't want cold places because then the girls wouldn't be walking around in bikinis all day. It would have a lot more to do with survival. I would love to see something like that- or even a mountain environment just for a change. They've covered tropical and desert already. I would also like to see three tribes or something else a little different (rather than taking people to the other team, create a new team out of them and merge the three later). |
