Thanks to DVader for the early heads up on next season's location.
"Survivor" will take a break from anonymous island settings when it moves to China next fall.
Confirming a story first reported in several online venues, Variety is saying that "Survivor 15" will take place somewhere mysterious in mainland China.
This will be the first "Survivor" outside of an island environment since "Survivor: Amazon," the show's sixth installment.
The trade paper says that filming an entire season of an American network TV show will be precedent-setting for China and part of the ongoing loosening of government restrictions on U.S. entertainment projects in the country.
The finale of "Survivor: Fiji," the show's latest installment, will take place in New York City on Sunday, May 13.
For anyone curious, here are the past Survivor threads (all started by myself, except where noted):
Survivor 3: Africa
Survivor 4: Marqeusas (*started by TripleB)
Survivor 5: Thailand
Survivor 6: The Amazon
Survivor 7: Pearl Islands
Survivor 8: All Star Survivor
Survivor 9: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire
Survivor 10: Palau
Survivor 11: Guatemala - The Mayan Empire
Survivor 12: Panama - Exile Island
Survivor 13: Cook Islands
Survivor 14: Fiji
(the threads for S1 & S2 have been dropped off  )

There's nothing red about China; there's something hilarious in watching Americans collide head-on with Chinese culture though. It just won't bend to their rules.

Finally. I'm looking forward to this. When they say in China though, I hope its deep within the valleys and not on the coast. But still, China!

Thanks for that, dude. I didnt watch the reunion after the winner was announced so I missed the preview.
BTW, I wonder if the edition after China will be a second All-Star edition, possibly featuring players from Vanuatu and beyond ? The reason I was wondering is because after China, seven seasons will have passed since the first All-Stars (which is hard to believe), and All-Stars was the seventh version of Survivor, so...

Good question. But if they did do another all-stars, who would be in it? Here's my pics of the people from S9 - 14:
Chris Daugherty (Vanuatu)
Bobby Jon Drinkard (Palau & Guatemala)
Stephenie LaGrossa (Palau & Guatemala)
Ian Rosenberger (Palau)
Gary Hogeboom (Guatemala)
Shane Powers (Panama: Exile Island)
Nathan "Nate" Gonzalez (Cook Islands)
Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth (Cook Islands)
Yul Kwon (Cook Islands)
Earl Cole (Fiji)
Yau-Man Chan (Fiji)
Weird, only really memorable woman from the past 6 seasons was Stephanie. Most of the rest kinda blended together. Either way though, Ozzy would do it in a heartbeat, and would probably win.

Hmm, pretty much agree with that whole list. Maybe they'd throw in Rory from Vanautu, or maybe Jonathan from Cook Islands. I also think that Tom from Palau and Terry from Panama would be considered, too.
As far as the women go, like you say, not too many memorable names in the lastest editions beyond Stephanie. Maybe they'd add Amy or Twila from Vanautu and possibly Danni from Guatamala, if only because she won and she's hot.
