Survivor Live

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Survivor Live is an internet talk-show about the television series Survivor. The show premiered at the beginning of Survivor: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire as a result of the popularity of House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show, which began airing the previous summer during Big Brother 5. During that season, the show was hosted by Richard Hatch, winner on Survivor: Borneo and a contestant on Survivor: All-Stars, and Chris Booker, a New York television and radio personality. The show originally aired as one-hour Thursday and Friday shows at 2 p.m. North American Eastern Time Zone, with the Thursday shows talking about the show in general, sometimes with in-studio guests or celebrities, and Friday shows involving the contestant voted out the previous night. Of note, Survivor Live ended its first season right before the season finale, meaning the show never interviewed any of the final four contestants. The second season of Survivor Live, with the start of Survivor: Palau, was retooled, mostly due to Hatch's then-new legal troubles, with new hosts Jenna Morasca, winner of Survivor: Amazon and a contestant on Survivor: All-Stars, and Dalton Ross, an editor of Entertainment Weekly magazine. From this season forward, the show was reduced to weekly Friday shows at 2 p.m. EST with the most recent castoff joining the two hosts in a one hour show. Some seasons also have special features, such as Time Capsule (where the Survivor leaves a message for him/herself before the show starts) and Jenna Morasca's Big Question of the Week (where Jenna asks one last question, usually a general one such as "What do you plan to do now?"). Changes to the schedule are made if the show if the TV show is on a different date, or due to holidays.

According to the live feeds of Big Brother 7: All-Stars, Marcellas Reynolds, who was the host of House Calls, mentioned that Survivor Live is not very successful, and admitted to trying to get the producers of the show to make him and House Calls' co-host Gretchen Massey the hosts of the show.
