Get ready for Survivor: China next season

Mark Burnett just revealed that next season Survivor will be shot in Mainland China.

Survivor's Moving to China
Survivor is about to say ni hao to China. Executive producer Mark Burnett confirms that the next season of CBS's reality show will take place in mainland China, as TV Guide first reported back in March. "It's a magic, really epic location," says Burnett. Production on the 15th season will begin this summer. —Ileane Rudolph

About time they set this show somewhere other than a tropical island (Australia and Africa the exceptions, obviously).

Just waiting for a cold weather or urban edition.

Amazon wasn't a tropical island. Neither was Guatemala.

No, but they're tropical locales.

All they would have to do is get a bunch of people from Florida & California to come to Winnipeg or any other canadian city and that would be hell for them.

Unbelievably, yes.

China sounds exciting but then they'll just be on another island with the same challenges, same rewards, same everything.

Still not watching anymore.

Reward challenge: Race to access the wikipedia page on Falun Gong. Find a proxy server to route around the censor. The first team to completely download the page wins.

Immunity challenge: Race through an obstacle course while running from the cops trying to catch you for accessing prohibited information. First entire team caught loses. The other team chooses one person to go to Execution Island. No tribal council is necessary.

In all the seasons I've watched, it's always on an island. They might mean off of mainland China. I doubt I will be watching.

This was actually the one I auditioned for, but didn't get a callback. China would have been cool.

You must not be a waitress/bartender (ie, out-of-work actress/actor) from Southern California.

I hate to thread crap on the negativity here, but I'm really looking forward to this season. I think mainland China will bring out some excellent scenarios.

I agree China has so many possibilities compared to these tropical islands that we've watched for the last 14 seasons. I don't get why most of the people commenting here probably don't even watch Survivor.

If you're not watching Survivor this year then you're not seeing this guy dominate every mental AND physical challenge:

I still watch survivor till the token hot chick gets kicked out. Unlucky for them, she was kicked out first episode this season, so i haven't seen an episode sense.

I'll watch the reunion show to see her though, hottest girl of any reality show so far, imho

Too bad for you because last night had possibly the best strategic play ever.

i think the producers have reboot this entire series with the introduction of the double immunity idol.

Last Night's was an all time classic.

Looking forward to China, just becuase its not on an Island.

China is doing everything it can right now to show there good side for Bejing 2008.

if thats the case why are they give Jack Bauer such a hard time?
