PULAU TIGA, Malaysia (AP) -
Catch fish with a bamboo spear and
roast rats over a fire that might also
alert passing ships. Help another cast
away track down water - then sabo
tage your own chances for survival by
calling her a stupid cow.
Outwit, outplay, outlast.
That’s the motto of a group of
adventurous Americans vying for a
million bucks on this ferocious little
island off the coast of Borneo.
Sixteen back-stabbing castaways,
captured on film by camera crews
lurking behind palm fronds and coral
reefs, are trying to outfox each other
as well as outfoxing vipers, poisonous
plants and other natural perils.
In a bid to capitalize on America’s
obsession with reality television, CBS
is throwing millions of dollars behind
“Survivor,” which will air in 13 week
ly episodes beginning May 31, at 8
p.m. The network chose eight women
and eight men - a mix of personalities
and professions - and turned them
loose on this lush rain-forest island.
“This is like an extreme version of
an office or a large family,” executive
producer Mark Burriett told Thte
Associated Press during a two-day
visit to the island, allowed only after
agreeing not to talk to contestants or
reveal who remained halfway into the
six-week contest.
i “People are out for themselves
and only themselves,” said Burnett,
creator and producer of the
“EcoChallenge” adventure race series
on the Discovery Channel. “Yet all 16
people will grow a bit stronger and
may discover who they really are out
here.”
The castaways are working
together to survive, yet every third
night they hold secret ballots around a
“tribal council” campfire to kick out
one contestant, who is escorted away
by helicopter with a consoling psy
chologist.
One of the first men voted off the
island had been overheard saying the
only thing more stupid than a woman
was a cow. Big mistake.
“The united women’s front got
that guy off the island right away,”
Burnett said. “They all mooed at him
- and he was gone.”
Everything is unscripted, and the
emotions are real. Not only are the
castaways competing for $ 1 million,
their every action will be judged by
American viewers who could turn
them into national celebrities. Or just
turn them off.
On the 21st night, during the trib
al council at which the number of
castaways was cut to nine, the sun
burned, exhausted contestants nerv
ously chatted with host Jeff Probst
and then marched off one by one to
blackball someone.
“We love to see ourselves repre
sented in reality TY” said Probst, who
mediates the tribal councils and con
ducts on-camera interviews. “You
start peeling away layer after layer and
you get at the truth.”
Does Hollywood ever really get at
the truth?
The survivors are indeed camping *
out on the beach beneath a makeshift
hut of hand-cut rattan and palm
fronds.
They’re catching their own fish
and stomaching field rats for protein
to conquer the wilting heat and
humidity.
CBS on its Web site first promot
ed “Survivors” as being filmed on a
“deserted” island “untouched by
humans for centuries.” But reports
pointing out that park rangers live
there and a resort is under way forced
the network to concede the island is
merely remote.
And survivors do stand a chance
of stumbling onto modem production
equipment.
Tons of sound and lighting equip
ment have been shipped in.
Generators keep the crew cabins and
editing rooms air conditioned.
Satellite television and rock music
blare beneath the neon sign at
Survivor Bar.
“If you were really on a deserted
island, you wouldn’t be participating
in a water torture race,” shrugged
Probst. “So, it’s a cool combination of
game show and psychological drama.
They can vote you off simply because
they don’t like you or simply because
you’re too good.”
On the 21st night, the castaways
ousted a woman who was by all
accounts one of the most likable and
/i/ .
If you were really on a deserted
island, you wouldn yt be participating
in a water torture race."
JeffProbst
“Survivors” host
capable contestants. Several other
women appeared stunned and jumped
up to hug her before she dashed off.
Probst said he was surprised at how
devious the contestants had become.
“When these people finally watch
themselves, they’re going to be
amazed at what went down here,” he
said. “It’s the ultimate social experi
ment.”
Starting out, there was a 72-year
old retired Navy SEAL, a 38-year-old
female truck driver and several attrac
tive young college students who romp
around in sexy sarongs. There was
Sonja, a 62-year-old musician, and
Sean, a 30-year-old neurologist who
no doubt will capture many female
viewers.
When the group is whittled down
to the final pair, the last eight kicked
off the island will decide who
becomes the celebrity millionaire.
Another half-million dollars will go
to the losers, with the first runner-up
taking home $100,000 and the others
getting a share depending on how
long they lasted.
“But they’re all getting a multi
million-dollar experience,” said
Burnett.
The show is based on a popular
Swedish production, “Expedition
Robinson,” which has been filming in
Malaysia for three years. The produc
ers of that show are still trying to live
down the suicide of the first contest
ant to be voted off the island.
Burnett said he had “zero” con
cern about a copycat suicide.
Of 6,000 applicants, CBS inter
viewed 800 people. Forty-eight were
then flown to Los Angeles for 10 days
of grilling and six hours of psycholog
ical tests.
Dr. Gene Ondrusek, the psycholo
gist who greets the losers as they are
voted out, spends the night talking
with them in a tent on the beach and
then flies back with them to Kota
Kinabalu for debriefing at a luxury
resort.
“I try to prepare them for what
may happen back home,” Ondrusek
said. “If they obtain the celebrity sta
tus, which I think they will, it may be
as challenging as anything they’ve
gone through here.”
