The Advertiser - Will we survive this epic?

31 may 06

YOU would think that Extreme Makeover was the utter bottom of the barrel when it came to reality TV. Never underestimate the power of network execs, however, and prepare yourself for the kitsch to come.

Channel 7 yesterday announced Celebrity Survivor . Yes, Channel 7 - not Channel 9 - will screen the program, thanks to a legal loophole in the contract with the creators of the original Survivor .

Just like Channel 10's Skating With Celebrities , the star status of this batch of castaways is somewhat questionable. Gabrielle "The Pleasure Machine" Richen's, former ironman Guy Leech, politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey have been announced so far, with a promise of more to come.
