Ten unveils plans for new Australian version of Survivor amid fuller 2016 programming slate
Network Ten is bringing back a local version of long-running US TV show Survivor, 14 years after it aired on Nine.
The reality show is among six new shows scheduled by the network for its 2016 programming slate, with All Star Family Feud, the Peter Brock mini-series, a new comedy drama series called The Wrong Girl starring Jessica Marais also on the list.
While Survivor has been running for 32 seasons in the US it failed to get traction in its only appearance on Nine in 2001.
Another corporate view predicting success based upon spending more money and running with a reality show based upon the almost IdoIised and god like US bench mark model.
I may be wrong, in a way, I hope I am, but I think I see a major catastrophe in the making.
I’m a massive survivor fan, stick to the principles of showcasing the dynamics of the competitors and strategy of game play and alliances and you will be on a winner! Don’t make it slapstick and stupid for the sake of early traction and a few cheap laughs! Don’t screw this up 10!
Survivor australia..
