Survivor: TV Guide News

The show that launched a cultural (and ratings) phenomenon, and still arguably the class of the reality genre, what executive producer Mark Burnett prefers to call 'nonscripted drama.' It began with 16 people marooned on an island, working together to survive, but ultimately trying to 'outwit, outlast, outplay' the others for a $1 million grand prize. The group is whittled down as players are 'voted off' until only one remains. Eight editions have included competitions in Africa and Australia.
  • Dr. Drew Diagnoses the Harsh Reality of Reality TV | Today's News: Our Take | 11/14/2008
    In August 2005, a dream came true for Paula Goodspeed. Having made it to the third round of American Idol's Season 5 auditions, she stood across a table from Paula Abdul, of whom she was a longtime fan. Minutes later, Goodspeed was subject to the frank sort of criticism the Idol panel is known to dish out. (Randy Jackson, for one, summed up her skills as "terrible.") Three years later, Goodspeed would take her own life outside Abdul's Los Angeles home. The Goodspeed tragedy has prompted many to ask anew: Do the demands of reality television make it difficult for some people to face their "moment like this," or the dark moments that can follow? Psychological screening processes often are involved at the early stages, yet ... read more 13 Comments
  • Most Over-used Reality Saying | Today's News: Our Take | 7/8/2008
    If there's one thing we've heard time and time again at in reality shows from participants, it's the sentence, "I'm not here to make friends." But what we never realized is how many times it's actually said. Put it this way, between Apprentice, Top Model, Top Chef, Survivor and every other reality competition show to date, it was said enough times to make a three minute video. Enjoy! read more

  • Don't You Hate Product Placement on TV? | Today's News: Our Take | 6/12/2008
    So does the U.K.'s media minister, who has made the shocking announcement that he is banning all product placement on British TV shows, according to Variety.Despite the practice having already been approved by the European Union, Andy Burnham, the secretary of state at the Department of Culture, Media, and Sport, said that he won't allow it to "contaminate" the favorable international reputation of British programming. "There is a risk that, at the very moment when television needs to do all it can to show it can be trusted, that we elide the distinction between programs and adverts," he said.I understand the chap's point; it's definitely a slippery slope. I am an avid TiVo user who is delirious with glee at the prospect of getting through an ep of Grey's Anatomy in 40-odd minutes. (Sidenote: Has anyone noticed there are "un-skippable" commercials now? Benjamin Moore Paints, I curse thee!) Plus, most product placement on TV is so obvious and bombastic, it takes me out of the moment... read more
  • Probst: Survivor Experiencing Production Delays | Today's News: Our Take | 6/5/2008
    Outwit... outplay... outlast... outhippo? Production on Survivor: Gabon — Earth's Last Eden has hit several snags, among them wild hippopotami roaming the area.Host Jeff Probst told the Associated Press, "We have a danger problem with animals that we're trying to figure out how to handle. We don't want the animals around for safety reasons, but we'd love to have a hippo sneak in every so often. I just got a call from our executive producer that we've got hippo tracks at base camp."Other mishaps include month-long shipping delays, a missing cargo hold containing $100,000 worth of food, a fallen crane, and housing for the crew. "We're going to be fine on the show," Probst said, "but the crew housing is not there. We're going to be in tents."He added the snafus were not likely to bring production to a complete halt.Filming in the West African nation is scheduled to begin later this month and premiere — in high definition — this fall. It's the program's first return to... read more
