Survivor Inland and All-star to Boot?
Survivor Inland and All-star…as in non-Survivor Celebrity Cast? by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Some rumors have been confirmed, some are still circulating…and who knows which are which? |
The fifteenth installment of “Survivor” is reported to be taking place not on an island—as fourteen other seasons were—but inland, in China.
It has also been conjectured that “Survivor: China” will be of an all-star composition.
And reports now as of yet barely confirmed, if that, include how one of the contestants are WWF pro wrestler Asley Massaro (according to TMZ, 6-13-07) and professional poker player Jean-Robert Bellande (according to the leaked rumor at the official CBS Survivor China site) will fight for the prize.
The all-star seasons have been awesome; the off-island seasons–inland for “Survivor: Amazon” season 6, or “Survivor: Outback” season 2, for example–were great (though the on-board ship living of “Pirate Master” contestants leaves a bit to be desired); and so it is hoped that a combo season of all-stars (not “Survivor” only stars?) will best the rest.
Will it? Will it be an inviting, intriguing, and rare (and, evidently, unprecedented—CBS airing American entertainment in/from China) glimpse into a 15,000-year-old culture with nineteen trying to outwit, outplay, outlast the others in that context? Will it be our favorite former “Survivor” stars—in the typical sense of the label,
all-stars—or will it be yet another platform for celebrities and therefore another celebreality offering?
Are we in for another “I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here”? God help us if we are.
Granted, part of the interest in the award-winning series is in the speculations before the seasons begin. The secrets are well guarded, and the intrigue is enough to make any “Survivor” fan follow the progress and pre-production closely.
But enough with the vagaries and ambiguities! Leak something more, Burnett!
