You're reading it here first.
I have to apologize. Last month I asked asked SABC3 whether a next Survivor season will follow-on directly after The Amazing Race. SABC3 promised me it was done with low-rated reality shows over the killer end-of-the year/beginning-of-the-year. I remained sceptical.
Now I can exclusively break the news that Survivor is back and that Survivor Gabon: Earth's Last Eden, the 17th season of the long-running American reality show will start on SABC3 on Monday, November 27 at 20:00. Survivor Gabon is the first of the Survivor seasons to be shot in high definition (HD) although SABC3 will still show it in SD, has 18 contestants and was filmed in the Wonga-Wongue Presidential nature reserve in Gabon, Africa.
It will be interesting to watch whether it gets blurred now on SABC3: In the original American broadcast of Survivor Gabon the penis of one of the contestants made an unsensored appearance since the producers didn't notice Marcus Lehman's ''wardrobe malfunction'' and his manhood swinging out of his boxers during one of the immunity challenges.
