Re: Survivor Season 17: Gabon, Africa HD

Here is some more information that I found interesting:

"I didn't know where it was," Probst told Entertainment Weekly at Survivor: Micronesia's finale. "I had to look it up on a map. It is probably the most remote place we have ever gone."

Survivor: Gabon represents the first installment of the series to film in Africa since the show's Fall 2001 third edition -- Survivor: Africa -- which shot in Kenya.

"In Kenya, we had armed guards everywhere so that if something did happen, we could take care of it. We're not gonna have that [for Gabon] because they're telling us it is so remote and will probably be remote forever. But a gorilla could wander into camp," Probst told EW. "No one's really ever hung out there. We're going to leave a boma with some sticks and stuff, and the contestants will be given instructions that they need to finish it since we're a little concerned because it's so unknown."

In addition, Survivor: Gabon will be the first Survivor edition to film in widescreen high-definition format.

"Survivor is one of those shows that you want to see in HD," Probst told EW. "People with bug bites are gonna look worse, people that don't have great bodies are gonna look worse, and people who are really attractive are probably gonna look... worse."

Survivor: Gabon -- Earth's Last Eden is scheduled to begin filming in June.

So I was just wondering, When they start filming the season in June, will we know who the cast is going to be, or will it be after filming, or will we have to wait until the show comes on?

I am guessing the ship has already sailed on this filming. Did Jeff already talk about how remote he felt there?

I have never looked for a Survivor cast. I guess I could, although in doing so I'd probably end up spoiler major plot points along the way - which I try to avoid with that show.

Oh I didn't know that you didn't look for the cast. If it is going to ruin the show then don't do it, it really don't matter to me.

Knowing the cast would not ruin the show, it is the places that you have to look that would.
