Survivor: Gabon—Earth’s Last Eden. Airing September 2008!

Survivor is gearing up for season 17 by going back to Africa. The show will be setting up shop on the continent’s west coast in the country of Gabon (Where is Gabon?). “I didn’t know where it was,” confesses host Jeff Probst according to hollywoodinsider.com. To be a little more specific it will be filmed around the coastal towns of Nyonie and Ekwata in the Wonga-Wongue Presidential Reserve.

Plus, Survivor will be shot in HD (finally!)
Season 17 marks another big change for Survivor in that it will be the first time the show has been shot in high definition. “Survivor is one of those shows that you want to see in HD,” says Probst, while noting that the scenery will look a lot more stunning than the stranded contestants.
