NINETEENTH INSTALLMENT OF REALITY HIT GOES TO VANUATU WITH ALL-STAR LINEUP
NEW YORK – Wednesday, Apr. 1rst 2009 – CBS and Jeff Probst are going to Vanuatu with "Celebrity Survivor," with an all-star celebrity lineup of candidates. Currently in its eighteenth season, the new installment of "Survivor" is the first celebrity edition. "Celebrity Survivor" with host Jeff Probst is going to Vanuatu, an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. The new season begins shooting Monday, April 20 and is scheduled to premiere this fall.
Contestants will not be vying for a million dollars, but the celebrity contestants will be working towards a greater goal -- two million dollars for their favorite charity. Not only will the final winner be crowned the first 'Celebrity Survivor,' but he or she will also have the honor of delivering a two million dollar check to their designated charity.
All 14 celebrities will be ready to try their hands at outwitting, outplaying and outlasting in the 19th installment of the hit series SURVIVOR, while ultimately raising money and awareness for their respective cause.
Just as in the regular "Survivor," the celebrities will be subjected to long hours, personality clashes, and grueling mental and physical challenges -- all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers, and personal assistants.
"This will be the most exciting season of 'Survivor' yet – maybe even better than Season One. I'm confident our fourteen celebrity contestants will be incredible individually, and as a group will make 'Celebrity Survivor' one of the hottest shows on television. I promise you a fantastic new season!" Said Jeff Probst, executive producer and host of 'Celebrity Survivor.'
