About “Survivor: The Amazon”
“Survivor: The Amazon,” hosted by Jeff Probst, will
strand 16 Americans near the Rio Negro, a remote river located in
the heart of the Amazon jungle, during the beginning of the region’s
wet season. Faced with the constant threat of flooding and exhaustive
heat, not to mention the flesh-eating piranhas, lurking jaguars,
caiman alligators and anacondas (these snakes can reach up to 40
feet long), executive producer Mark Burnett will introduce new rules
and new twists for the sixth installment of television’s most
popular reality series.
As the castaways confront the harsh weather and the uncertainty
of what’s coming next, the men will be pitted against the
women in an attempt to outwit, outplay and outlast all others to
become the ultimate survivor.
In a recent article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Probst states,
“Butch is principal with principles. He said right off the
bat that he wouldn’t do anything to embarrass himself, his
family or his school.”
In its fifth edition, “Survivor: Thailand” ranked 4th
among all prime time programs for the 2002/03 season, averaging
21.2 million viewers. SEG, Inc. produces “Survivor: The Amazon.”
Mark Burnett is executive producer.
