Survivor ordered for two more seasons on CBS
Additionally, Emmy Award-winner Jeff Probst has signed a new agreement to continue as host and as an executive producer for the 23rd and 24th editions. Probst has hosted Survivor since its inception.
"Survivor is a program franchise that continues to stand the test of time. Each season delivers new faces, exotic places, the ultimate social experiment combined with game play, and one of the most engaged audiences anywhere on primetime television," said Jennifer Bresnan, CBS Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming.
This season, Survivor moved from its long-established Thursday time period to Wednesday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The fall edition, Survivor: Nicaragua, continued its time-period-winning ways, placing first in viewers (13.61m), adults 18-49 (4.3//12) and adults 25-54 (5.6/14).
Survivor improved the year-ago time period by +84% in viewers, +79% in adults 18-49 and +87% in adults 25-54, while also improving upon last season's Thursday performance by 1% in viewers and +4% in adults 25-54.
The current spring edition, Survivor: Redemption Island, which features the new redemption island format, continues to perform strongly opposite American Idol, averaging 11.70 million viewers, 3.4/10 in adults 18-49 and 4.6/11 in adults 25-54 while improving the year-ago time period by +150% in viewers, +162% in adults 18-49 and +156% in adults 25-54.
The groundbreaking reality series, which premiered in May 2000, won an Emmy Award in 2001 in the category of "Outstanding Non-Fiction Program" (Special Class). Host Jeff Probst is a three-time Emmy Award winner in the category of "Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Series."
Survivor is hosted by Emmy Award-winner Jeff Probst and produced by SEG, Inc. Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst and David Burris are executive producers.

I have never watched one episode of Survivor, nor any other reality show. Watching any kind of scripted, planned, know the outcome in advance kiddie shows, played by a bunch of nobodies isn't my cup of tea, but as I said when this show started,....if they send a group of these wannabees on a rocket ship to colonize Mars, and film it as it happens, I MIGHT watch that.
