Survivor Panama and The Amazing Race to Return in February 1/10/06
CBS'S REALITY TITANS TO RETURN IN FEBRUARY
"Survivor Panama - Exile Island" Premieres Thursday, Feb. 2, 8:00-9:00 PM
Three Time Emmy Award-Winner "The Amazing Race" Returns for its Ninth Edition
With a Two-Hour Premiere, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 9:00-11:00 PM
"Love Monkey" to Remain In the Tuesday, 10:00-11:00 PM Time Period
CBS's two reality heavyweights -- Survivor and The Amazing Race -- will return in February.
The 12th edition of Survivor, Survivor Panama - Exile Island, premieres Thursday, Feb. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The most recent installment, "Survivor: Guatemala," won its time period every week in viewers (18.30m), adults 18-49 (6.5/18) and adults 25-54 (7.9/19) and maintained its place in history as being one of only six programs to finish every season (11 editions over the course of five and a half seasons) in the top 10.
Survivor Panama - Exile Island, hosted by Jeff Probst, will find the 16 new castaways initially divided into four tribes of four -- Older Men vs. Older Woman vs. Younger Men vs. Younger Women (the four tribes will become two during a schoolyard pick in the second episode). During the duration of Survivor Panama - Exile Island, at least one castaway each episode will be banished to a separate island miles away from camp. While being separated from the tribe is not desirable, the castaways will learn that there is a hidden Immunity Idol somewhere on Exile Island. If found, this Immunity Idol could save an individual from being voted out at a future Tribal Council.
Survivor: Panama is produced by SEG, Inc. Mark Burnett and Tom Shelly are the executive producers.
The ninth installment of The Amazing Race returns to its international format where teams of two will travel to exotic locations, spanning five continents, with stops in the Middle East, Moscow and Sicily to name a few. The three time Emmy Award-winning adventure series premieres Tuesday, Feb. 28 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).
Last spring's The Amazing Race 7, the most recent edition to have the two-person team format, achieved series high ratings in viewers (13.03m), adults 18-34 (4.6/13), adults 18-49 (5.3/13) and adults 25-54 (6.1/14).
The Amazing Race, which has been the recipient of the Emmy Award for Best Reality Program for three consecutive years, is produced by Amazing Race Productions Inc. and Touchstone Television Productions, LLC. Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are executive producers. Phil Keoghan is host.
Meanwhile, CBS's mid-season series Love Monkey, which premieres on Tuesday, Jan. 17, will remain in the Tuesday 10:00-11:00 PM time period.

Lumberjack takes a whack at 'Survivor'
Tina Scheer's a lumberjack, and that's OK for CBS, which has picked the Hayward, Wis., woman for the next version of its "Survivor," which kicks off Feb. 2.
Scheer, 45, is described as a "logging sports promoter/performer."
That sounds pretty accurate for the woman who is billed as "Timber Tina" in her lumberjacking show based in Trenton, Maine. She also has a traveling group called "World Champion Lumberjills," which she describes as "Chics (chicks) with Axes."
While Scheer divides her time between our up north and the East Coast version of up north, she still proclaims her loyalty to the Green Bay Packers.
In a sad note to the announcement of her role in "Survivor," CBS reported that her 16-year-old son, Charlie, had been killed in an auto accident prior to the show
"In spite of this tragedy, Scheer was determined to complete the 'Survivor' adventure," according to CBS.
This 12th edition of "Survivor" starts by dividing the 16 contestants into four tribes on a Panamanian island. Older men will take on older women, and younger men will battle younger women. Eventually, they'll become two tribes, and at least one contestant will be banished to a separate island.
For Wisconsin "reality" TV trivia buffs, Scheer is the second Hayward logger to get on one of these shows.

Local woman drops in on new 'Survivor' quest
By: J.J. KINDRED, Staff Writer January 11, 2006
Sevierville resident Melinda Hyder, who performed at Dollywood for approximately six years, will be a contestant during the forthcoming 12th season of "Survivor" on CBS.
This season's "Survivor: Panama" has the contestants trying to survive conditions on Panama's Exile Island. The first episode airs Feb. 2.
Hyder, 32, was born and raised in Elizabethon, graduating with honors from Elizabethton High School and with a degree in music from East Tennessee State University. Currently single, she lives in Sevierville with her Pomeranian, Lexi.
She could not be reached for comment. The show's rules do not allow contestants to be interviewed while the show is on the air, until they either win or get voted off.
Before working at Dollywood, where she often performed with Dolly Parton, she worked at Six Flags over Georgia in Atlanta for two years and toured Europe while performing on a cruise ship.
She has also worked in real estate, and as a dance and singing instructor and model.
According to the "Survivor" Web site at CBS.com., Hyder describes herself as "vivacious, competitive and compassionate."
She was quoted during a recent CBS appearance saying, "I'm gonna get on somebody's nerves because everybody's gonna get on somebody's nerves at one point. It's just gonna happen. So I'm just gonna try to do it as little as possible."

High school teacher to be on this season's 'Survivor'
January 12, 2006
A Simi Valley man will appear on this season's edition of the reality television show "Survivor," a CBS spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
Bruce Kanegai, 58, is one of 16 contestants competing on the 12th edition of the show, "Survivor: Panama -- Exile Island." Kanegai, an art instructor at Simi Valley High School, is the oldest contestant on the show.
For this edition of "Survivor," which premieres Feb. 2, older contestants will face off against each other, and younger participants will do battle with one another, among other activities.
Filming for the season has been completed, but Kanegai cannot comment until he has either been voted off the island or declared the winner on air, a CBS spokeswoman said.
"Sorry, I can't talk to you about it," Kanegai said when asked by a reporter to comment on his time in Panama.
In 2002, Kanegai filmed a "Worst-Case Scenario" episode for TBS, where he had to handle a rattlesnake.
