Survivor: Made in China
by Sarah Hall

Survivor has voted itself off the island and onto mainland China.

CBS has targeted the world's most populous nation as the location for the 15th installment of the castaway competition, setting the show up to become the first American TV series ever to film an entire season in the communist nation, Daily Variety reports.

The move marks only the fifth time Survivor will be set in a nonisland location. Previous inland settings included the Australian Outback (season 2), Kenya (season 3), Brazil (season 6) and Guatemala (season 11).

The network did not say when or where production on the season would begin.

Though China's censorship policies and strict government regime have traditionally made filming there an unappealing prospect for U.S. entertainment companies, a growing economy has reportedly made officials slightly more open to foreign productions.

Meanwhile, setting the next edition of the reality competition in a nation of 1.3 billion is expected to increase the show's international appeal.

Survivor is currently in the midst of its 14th installment, set in Fiji. The season, which has been averaging 15 million viewers to date, is slated to wrap in a two-hour finale on May 13.

Once all the outwitting, outplaying and outlasting is over, another Mark Burnett production is ready and waiting to hit the airwaves. And the ocean waves, for that matter.

Pirate Master, a new reality competition in which 16 modern-day buccaneers take to the high seas in the search for a total of $1 million in treasure, premieres May 31 on CBS.

For 33 days, the contestants will live on a 179-foot pirate ship and sail around the Caribbean island of Dominica. After each expedition, gold coins will be awarded to the worthiest swashbucklers, with the wealthiest contestant becoming captain of the ship.

At the close of each episode, the contestants will convene at Pirates' Court, where one player will be "cut adrift." In the end, one pirate will discover the largest booty, worth $500,000, and claim the title of Pirate Master.

"This is a show where, in true pirate fashion, anything can happen with a group of people that live by their own set of rules and usually break them," Burnett said in a statement. "It's adventure, excitement and loads of treasure. Anyone who ever wanted to be a pirate will love this show!"

As for those of us whose piracy dreams are more of the Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom variety, the verdict is still out.

I'm going to study about American-Sino relations soon, and I can't help thinking whether my teacher would be using this as another piece of homework. Roll Eyes

Better yet, a karate kick to the groin.
