Where is CBS show Survivor filmed?
Season 41 is now in full swing and fans are eager to find out where the 18 castaways are.
This season, fans can enjoy the views of the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji.
The islands are known as a “volcanic archipelago lying to the west of Nadi and to the south of the Yasawa Islands.”
A popular tourist attraction, there are 20 islands that make up the Mamanuca Islands and seven of them are covered by the Pacific Ocean during the high tide.
Who are the 41st season’s cast?
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic delays, season 41 will be shorter.
Season 41 will run for 26 days instead of the normal 39-day competition.
Jeff Probst, the show’s host and executive producer, told Entertainment Weekly: “The decision to change the game to 26 days came from the fact that we couldn’t leave our bubble. So if we wanted to shoot two seasons, we had to do it back to back. For us to shoot two seasons of 39 days, back to back, along with our 14-day quarantine, would have meant nearly 100 days, and that was simply too long.”
Adding that this season will be harder than previous ones.
“The first thing we had to do was adjust the living conditions of the game so that 26 days would still feel like 39 days…they started with no food, very limited camp supplies, and very few rewards,” Probst continued.
During this season, there are three different tribes: Luve, Ua and Yase, and those tribe members include:
Luvu Tribe
- Heather Aldret, 52
- Erika Casupanan, 32
- Danny McCray, 33
