Next on Survivor: Did Someone Order Chinese?
Yeah, yeah, Fiji just started, but are you ready for some scoop about the next edition of Survivor? How about Survivor: China? TV Guide hears there's a very strong possibility that the show's 15th cycle will head out to the world's most populous country this summer.

Should it come to pass, a key difference will be that if a rival alliance decides to take you out, there will be at least a 30-minute wait.

puddin:
There have been rumors floating around that S15 may film in China. I was watching Craig Ferguson
 the other night and Jeff was the guest and he said they were looking into filming in a more "exotic" location , some place without palm trees.

michael:
I can't imagine survivor any where else but a beach setting! I think they should just stick with the same formula...it works. As long as they have a lot of interesting twists and an awesome cast the show should be fine.

TheCinera:
I did enjoy seasons without the typical beach setting.  For example, Africa and Amazon.  Both I am still waiting for the DVDs. 
 :knuckles:
Bring on China!  That would make a great season!

Reality show "Survivor" filming in China: report
Today at 9:33 am

The next edition of "Survivor" will be filmed in China, making the reality show the first American network TV production to shoot an entire series in the communist nation, trade paper Daily Variety reported on Wednesday.

The report did not say when CBS would begin production on the 14th cycle of the castaway saga, or where in China the action would be set.

The CBS Corp. unit is airing "Survivor: Fiji," which is averaging about 15.8 million viewers, on par with the viewership for the previous installment, "Survivor: Cook Islands."

Daily Variety said the move to China takes the series away from an island setting for the first time since 2003's sixth installment, which was set in the Amazon jungle, and that the China locale should boost the show's international appeal.

China is a difficult place to film because of logistical and government restrictions. Last year's Warner Bros. period drama "The Painted Veil" was filmed there in partnership with the Chinese government, which had final say over the finished product and objected to several scenes. This led to tense negotiations between Chinese officials and the film's star, Edward Norton, and director, John Curran.
