DISCUSSION of TAR 33 SUSPENSION DUE TO COVID (may contain location spoilers)
dryedmangoez:
Yes, but it would be understood that they would have to create a bubble and work with a much smaller crew than normal. And they'd have to be creative and efficient in using the limited resources they have. It would be a scaled down production, even a year from now. And even with vaccines and less cases.
georgiapeach:
And as lovely as Fiji has been, it could have been filmed anywhere IF they abandoned the stockpile of props and sets and decided sadly to not use Fiji and its trained crews and the Dream Teamers.
There are closed islands/resorts all over that could have been made to work. Disney itself was closed for awhile. LOL they could have used a farm somewhere for all that. Loads of film crews have been out of work. It would have been different and likely difficult but in my eyes ...possible.
But choices were made and now with new outbreaks in the US not many places are going to welcome us in. Just as other places in the world have become more possible and open it will be more difficult to have those places accept a large # of Americans. Tests or vaccines aside...at the moment it seems very difficult for Survivor.
But lets hope someone wiser than me has a plan. :tup: I would LOVE to be wrong.

I can’t say I know too much about how survivor is produced but I could see CBS working out a deal with one of the middle income Asian countries that’s handled the outbreak well that is heavily reliant tourism money like Thailand or Vietnam to do the show if they promise to vaccinate the local crew as well. I’d think CBS has the logistical capacity to do something like that. I can’t imagine how much money shows like this pump into local economies, especially in middle income countries where the dollar goes really far.

Just thought, do you think they will restart from the top and recast once the pandemic is over?

No, I believe BVM confirmed in interview they are planning to resume with a original cast.
