Survivor Gabon - No Eden?

The cameras won’t start rolling until next month, but in an interview with the Associated Press, Survivor host Jeff Probst is reporting preproduction problems with the season’s 17th season.

Billed as Survivor: Gabon – Earth’s Last Eden, the next Survivor session will return to Africa, where the reality show’s third season was filmed. Filming is scheduled to start next month – but will it?

Probst described a variety of problems, including a delay in shipping. “One aspect of Survivor this is different from a lot of shows is that we have to ship throughout the season, and we’re about 30 days behind now, which is a major problem,” Probst says.

“We’re going to be fine on the show, but the crew housing is not there. We’re going to be in tents.”

As if that wasn’t enough, Probst added a crane fell over and a cargo hold of approximately $100,000 worth of food is missing. Wildlife is, well, wild, and has presented its own set of problems.

“We have a danger problem with animals that we’re trying to figure out how to handle,” Probst says. “There’s so much truly wild life out there, we’re not sure what to do. We don’t want the animals around for safety reasons, but we’d love to have a hippo sneak in every so often.”

Maybe if they offered the hippo a buff?
