Sorry to stick this in the Survivor VIII threads, but there isn't one yet for Survivor IX.

Open auditions are being held here (Fort Worth) next Thursday, January 8, for Survivor IX, so check with your local CBS station to see when they will appear in your area!

Thanks for the info Cathie. Is there a place to find out where future open auditions are being held?

I looked at the main CBS web page and can't find a listing of any sites for open casting, although they do have the casting call announcement on their web site for mail-in applications. Here is the announcement on our local CBS affiliate page:

http://www.cbs11tv.com/survivornine

It looks like the same application to fill out and you get 3 minutes in person on tape. I know several of the previous cast members have been chosen through this process, but it seems like a person would have a better chance with making their own tape and editing it to the desired product to mail in.

Then again, we've heard of participants who have never applied at all, so who knows what to think!?!?!?

LOL, Tabby, I would probably be stuck paying his rent and bills while he was having fun. I also don't think I would like to see what he might come up with to outwit, outplay and outlast.

That said, I am going to heavilly influence a co-worker who always says her husband or 26 year old son would be great at Survivor. The husband is an opinionated guy who would probably be the first voted off, and the son is a real charmer, a ladies man all the way. Best part about it would be that I have to approve her leave so I would know if she had to make a quick trip for the family member challenge, lol.

oh my, push her, cathie!!! i love watching opinionated men to see how far they DON'T get!

i just think people would really like to see your son for days on end, so maybe he'd last a while! he'd certainly gain a fan base!

Cathie, you could be the HR manager where i work. the maintenance guy wanted to try out, but he never made it to the mall for the video tapings. i actually think he would be hysterical on the show, but i seriously doubt that he would be allowed to take off for a month from work! cannot WAIT for all start survivor :).

My son Chris called last night and told me he made it to an interview with the Survivor producers (actually assuming so they're some lower level casting folks). He lives in Seattle and had told me they were holding open calls for a period (week or two??)and said he was thinking about trying out. They talked to him and didn't say "no way"...at least not to his face.

I'm over this Survivor (I'll keep watching it and everything but I'm over it). On to Survivor 9!!!! To be filmed this summer and start in the fall. Where will it be? I've been checking around and have only found a few rumors:

Scouts have checked out Red Rock Canyon in Nevada. A possibility because at the same time or close to the same time, MB will also be working on The Casino in Las Vegas. The little tidbit I found was posted on Jan. 6 of this year.
LINK

Possibly Vanuatu (Fiji). I don't know if this one has been discredited or not. I found a post at SS that talks about it being in Australia again- the person says that someone they know has seen a tent city setup...only problem is it seems awfully early for that. ( LINK).

Anyone know anything else yet?

I always thought that somewhere is Alaska would be great - but then you'd have to deal with the snow and cold. However, if it were in the summer it might not be bad?

The other place I thought would be cool would be someplace like the Swiss Alps, or somewhere in Greece.

Trinity, I thought it would be fun to have a cold or snowy area...but I read somewhere that either MB or someone associated with the program that a cold area wouldn't be good because of the "no skin" factor.

But a cold area would be a real survivor challenge.

A cold/snowy place would be too dangerous. It's very easy to get frostbite if you are really living 24/7 in the snow. Doctors would have to be doing body part exams every 2 hours!

Plus it would be difficult for viewers to track each player when they are are bundled up in parkas.

How about the great northwest in the summer? No snow, but lots of heavy forestation, beautiful lakes and streams...

Survival...MOUNTAIN MAN STYLE!! woo hoo!!
