Mark Burnett
Survivor's Executive Producer Mark Burnett spent time on the phone yesterday with reporters to hype Survivor Redemption Island which kicks off Wednesday night.
Here's what he had to say..
How Will the Redemption Island Twist Work?
Mark Burnett: The very first person voted out of the game goes to Redemption Island. There on Redemption Island they live alone.
The same conditions, the same amount of food, almost nothing to live with except it’s even worse because they’re completely lonely and alone.
And they’re waiting for what happens next in episode two when the next person is voted out of their tribe and joins the first person at Redemption Island.
In episode three, person one and person two compete in the first challenge of the episode. It’s a face-to-face duel. And some of the members of their tribes who had voted them out get to be spectators and watch the one-on-one duel.
The winner of Redemption Island stays on Redemption Island, the loser now actually goes home. Week four, there’s another duel, spectators come from the tribes to watch, and it goes on.
How Will “Boston” Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz Factor Into the Game?
Mark Burnett: The two of them probably have an advantage.
In the first episode, when they arrive it’s a surprise to the tribe. The tribes are there, there are sixteen of them there.
And then Jeff says, “But the game hasn’t started yet. By the way, there are two more players.” And a helicopter lands and out steps Russell and Rob. And the contestants faces are like, “Oh my God. I can’t believe these guys are back.”
Jeff explains there are 150 days of experience between Russell and Rob. Jeff says, “You can get rid of them if you want, or you can use them to your benefit. There’s 150 days of experience.”
But that means one of two things; either use that experience to get to the end, or fear that experience and get rid of them. It’s up to you, it’s “Survivor.”
Will “Survivor” Continue After “Redemption Island” and Will Jeff Probst Continue as the Host?
Mark Burnett: We haven’t dealt with it. We’re massively in post right now. It’s based upon ratings.
It went up.....
