Exclusive Inside Scoop on Survivor: China, Survivor: All-Stars China & the Cast!
July 1, 2007 by Lynn
Are you ready for this, folks? There will actually be two seasons of Survivor filmed in the location in China. They have booked the location for six full months and will film two seasons back-to-back!!
Let me preface this post with the statement that this comes from an extremely reliable source who needs to remain nameless. Thanks so very much to that person!! They know who they are!!
The first of the two will be a regular season of Survivor. Then, the second of the two will be an All-Stars season. And here’s who we can expect to see on the All-Stars season so far:
- Dreamz - I hope they kick his lying butt off first!! (Gee, did that sound bitter?)
- Cao Boi - Yea! He was a fun person on his season and it’ll be fun to see him again!
- Bruce Kanegai - he’s the one that had to leave Panama Island because of health issues. I really like him and look forward to seeing him compete without the health problems!!
- Billy Garcia - What a cool guy!
- Ozzy Lusth - who wouldn’t expect him in the All-Stars?
- “Redneck” James Miller - He’s a great character!
If they need an alternate from Fiji, Rocky will be the one.
Yau-Man was offered a spot, but turned it down.
- As for the women, if they can find a way to justify letting Stephanie LaGrossa be on a third season, she’ll be back for the All-Stars.
- They thought about bringing Julie Berry back for the All-Stars, but there’s buzz that she and Jeff Probst are secretly married - The way I see it, whether they are married or not, just the fact that they are in a serious relationship makes it a conflict of interest…but that’s just me.
- They are considering bringing back Cristina Coria to be on the show, but it’s not firmed up yet. She’s an awesome person! I hope she gets on the show again!
Apparently, they are having a tougher time getting the women to agree to do it again. Most of the ones they have approached so far have declined to be on the All-Stars.
They decided not to bring back any previous winners this time. They are trying to get at least one man and one woman from each of the seasons since Palau. And once the production is complete on the first China season, they will ask a man and a woman from that season to join the All-Stars.
They plan to have the All-Star season divided into two tribes: Before Jury and After Jury.
What a great couple of seasons we have to look forward to!! Apparently, they are already in production for the first China season and the All-Stars will be in production during October & November.
There is a tiny bit of speculation that the second All-Stars season may be the end of the Survivor run. I truly hope that’s not the case!! It’s the granddaddy of all reality shows and has one of the most loyal followings!! Once the Criss Angel contest is over, I’ll post a poll about your thoughts on the matter. Until then, be sure to leave your comments!!

Talk about a scoop! I’d say there is more than one here!!!
It’s not all stars without Julie Berry!
Great info! I love watching Survivor every season. SOme are better than others, but I always tune in. I think it will be a big mistake to take it off the air.
I am watching the “Pirates” show from the same producers but it is not nearly as good as Survivor.
I am watching it because I started it and I will finish it. Plus, there are some on there that I want to see get a swift kick in the butt! At first I didn’t care one way or the other. The “excursions” are very lame to me. They need to cancel this one and keep Survivor or take a lot of clues from the success of Survivor.
I can tell you that I am looking forward to the back-to-back episodes of Survivor! I am also very glad that they are NOT putting on any past “winners”.
The Survivor Series has changed prime time television and I continue to enjoy changing my life schedule so as not to miss an episode, but I am getting very frustrated with CBS and the producers of the show by bringing in ringers, people who have established a public career AND multiple repeat players. I am aware that this is entertainment business and they are making sure they can command every advertising dollar available.
If you are not going to select contestants from those who spend the time to apply, then why is there an application process?

as for the allstars — stephanie was okay , BUT i sure dont want to see her again !!! I would have loved to see Yau-man again. I agree on the julie and the conflict of interest. I sure hope it aint the end for survivor. Been faithful since beginning. Favorites are Rupert, Twila, Rudy,, . And in case you are listening Jeff (dont want any other host )
i hate to admit, but the show will be no good without yau-man. i also would like to see rocky come back. shane and terry from exile island would also be good choices. i also would like to see ian rosenberger come back.
i dont think any players who were voted off too early should be able to come back, and instead they should cast players who were more well known and made it farther in the game.
While I think another all stars is a good idea no one should get to play three times,sorry Stephanie.The problem the first time wasnt former winners but swelled heads,Lex,Kathy,Big Tom and Geri to name a few.Forget the “big names” and stick with people who realize its a game.
I really wonder about the jurors behind the scenes. Where do they stay and can they talk to each other as long as they put on the stern juror face at tribal council?
janette: I wrote about that in this post: http://www.realityexploits.com/2007/07/30/so-what-happens-to-the-survivors-when-they-are-voted-off-the-island/
Have a great day! ~~ Lynn
