The CBS Early Show is undergoing a change right now. Bryant Gumble is gone...Jane Clayson is leaving at the end of this month. They have been showing a lot of Survivor pieces so I am assuming we will get the usual interviews of those that have been booted off...but it looks like we will have a new cast doing the interviews.

I sure hope we get people who like and watch the show. It makes it much more fun!

I just read where Mark McEwen is out too. They are completely revamping the show. I wonder if they will still do the Survivor interviews?

If they are smart they would still do Survivor and TAR pieces, those are the only reasons why I tune in occasionally.

Wonder if Tom Bergeron is going to be an anchor. I only tune in for Sur and Tar too, otherwise I watch the Today show or CNN.

Dang, I thought Jane did a good job in the morning after interviews...she clearly watches the show and is a fan. Tom is good.

I wish they would promote Russ Mitchell from the weekend version..he is really pleasant and does a nice job with interviews and features.

Whoever they choose, if they watch and get into the show it should be good.

This morning, they had a preview of the immunity challange for tonight. Jeff showed a map of the island and said that the 2 teams were to row around the island, and there are 4 mentally challanging stops on the way around. He didn't say what they were, but it's a physical and mental challange. I wish we knew who was on what team. It would really help in the "Surviiivor game".

Absolutely no way to verify it, but at Survivor Fever, their tribes are:

Purple: Erin, Jake, Jed, Ken, Penny, Rob, Stephanie

Red: Brian, Clay, Ghandia, Helen, Jan, John, Tanya, Ted

Other sites have some differences, but SF is usually pretty solid..they are basing the list of vidcaps of players together, and buff colors in promo pics

From CBS.Com 9/19

(CBS) The wait is over for the newest installment of America’s favorite reality series.

On Thursday night, viewers watched 16 Americans try to outwit, outplay and outlast each other on the first episode of "Survivor: Thailand." When it was over, John was the first to get the boot. The 40-year-old pastor from Louisiana will be interviewed on The Early Show Friday morning at 7 a.m. ET/PT.

“Survivor: Thailand” host Jeff Probst gives a preview of the show’s first challenge on The Early Show.

“The first challenge for ‘Survivor: Thailand’ is a doozey,” says Probst. “The idea is, we wanted it to be physically tough, but also require your brain.”

Probst describes the challenge as beginning with two boats for both tribes. The tribes will try to paddle their way around the island in the race.

John Kirhoffer, the challenge producer, explains that the idea came naturally. “We saw all the island row boats … We figured,'Let's have a rowboat race around the island,'” says Kirhoffer.

Kirhoffer explains that the ideas for the challenges don’t come from sitting in a cubicle or at a desk. He says the challenge production crew tries to have a relaxed atmosphere. “A lot of challenges come from when sitting on surfboards, out in the middle of the ocean, thinking, 'Hey, dude. I got this idea.'”

Kirhoffer says he loves all the challenges his crew has created for past shows, but he has a special place in his heart for the “boulder dash” challenge in Africa.

“I just loved the way it played. It was so physical, and so much fun,” recalls Kirhoffer. “And you really had to control it. But when the girls got pushed into the thorn bushes ... thank God nobody got hurt. But I loved the reality. And how they got trampled."

The challenge producer says he has the greatest job in the world.

It remains to be seen if the Survivor challengers will grow to hate men like Kirhoffer.

Jane interviewed John this morning. If you missed it like I did, here's a link to the video at CBS.

Did anyone catch the Early show this morning? I wasn't feeling well so didn't pay full attention, but I saw a clip from one of the challenges that should air tonight. Both tribes have to move objects (not sure what they were, didn't hear) from one place to another and they will have to cross each other's paths to do this. They showed, I think, Brian dropping his object, trying to pick it up again but told it was out as it had touched the water. They then showed Robb and Ted facing each other on one log, both intent to get past the other and they lunged at each other (I think Robb lunged first, couldn't be sure) and they both ended up in the water. Not sure if this is the confrontation they have been hyping up or not.

Just wish I had not been so sick this morning or I would have paid better attention.

They have to race across the floating bridge, and each team has to steal supplies from the other team. It looked pretty cool, but also like they can get very physical with each other.

I caught the END of the Early Show where they had a cast of one of the Musicals. <I know this has nothing to do with Survivor, but bear with me.>
After the skit, The camera went back to Julie Chen and she said, "After looking at those bodies <of the women> I will never eat again!"
OH Puuuuuuuuhleeeeeeeease don't tell me the she just insinuated that she think of herself as FAT! I threw my remote at the TV and broke it.

I had to stop watching the Early Show at 8:15 est to get ready for work. I am soooo glad I missed that Julie Chen remark. I would have destroyed the remote AND the tv!

Another reason...I can't stand Julie Chen. Her interviews are forced and stilted and she lacks warmth and sincerity. I hated that we were stuck with her on Big Brother...now it looks like we will be stuck with her for TAR and Survivor interviews as well....BOOOOOOOO CBS!

I have always liked Julie Chen, guess I'm weird. But her comment today about the dancers bodies was plain old stupid. Hasn't she looked in the mirror? She is almost painfully thin!

Not to mention that right after that comment, the final number of the show was performed by the Rubenesque woman in the cast. Very poor taste on Julie's part, I think. And yes, she is beginning to rival Calista Flockhart for waif of the airwaves.

She made another similar comment if memory serves me during the Survivor segment.
I do kind of like her too...just wish she would appear more comfortable or not so nervous/anxious. (JMHO on how she comes across to me)

Yeah! Somebody needs to write to Julie and tell her that her comment could be very unhealthy to some who are anexoric(sp). I think she is too thin.
