BREAKING. SABC3 dropping The Amazing for another season of Survivor immediately following Survivor: Samoa on 7 May.


You're reading it here first.

Although not announced officially, I can exclusively reveal that the 15th season of The Amazing Race will no longer be following the current season of Survivor: Samoa on SABC3 and that the next season of Survivor, the 20th season entitled Survivor: Heroes vs Villains will replace the scheduled The Amazing Race.

What this means is that South African viewers will see two seasons of Survivor without a break. Although the SABC isn't yet making the news official, I'm told from multiple insiders knowledgeable about the programming change coming for SABC3 that the broadcaster has not yet sorted out the broadcasting rights and the license for The Amazing Race.

"Instead of waiting until the last minute and then not getting The Amazing Race in time, they decided to just go with the 20th season of Survivor in the meantime immediately following the conclusion of the 19th season."

What it means is basically the first ''double season'' of Survivor on South African television coming, ever.
