Will Big Brother Still Air on Thursday Nights?
« on: April 23, 2007, 11:39:02 AM »
The "eye" has confirmed the next "Survivor" Location (see the "survivor" thread), and also has announce that "Pirate Master" will air in the 8pm est/ 7pm cst, time slot when this season of of "Survivor" ends.  With 13 eps of PM ordered it would run into July and if the "eye" kept it at the current time slot it would seem to hint that maybe BB won't see a Thursday night eviction show this season, or maybe BB fans will have to wait an extra hour to find out who is going home.

Only time will tell.

Original Story Below:

CBS, 'Survivor' go to China
'Pirate Master' premieres May 31
By JOSEF ADALIAN
 
CBS has booked China as the location for the next edition of "Survivor," and locked in premiere dates for two key summer reality shows -- including Mark Burnett's "Pirate Master."

...

In addition to "Pirate Master," Mark Burnett Prods. is producer "On the Lot" for Fox (premiering May 22), as well as a "Shrek"-themed online skein for AOL and DreamWorks.

The Eye's summer sked kicks off May 31 at 8 p.m. with the premiere of "Pirate Master." The skein inherits "Survivor's" regular season timeslot, bowing seven years to the day that "Survivor" first premiered on CBS.

Net ordered 13 episodes of the unscripted adventure last year (Daily Variety, Nov. 6).

For the past couple of years, CBS has aired the "Big Brother" results show on Thursday nights. With "Pirate Master" now slated for the night, it's possible the net could be mulling a change in the "Brother" air pattern.
