Anyway, what I was actually replying to is the fact that
Survivor already did this very idea with the Pearl Islands series. Of all of the series Survivor has done to date, that was the one I enjoyed the most. I wonder why Burnett has to bother to create a whole new series when he had all of the bits and pieces at hand four years ago.

Well, there are enough game differences between Survivor and this series
(Here's the press release) to justify it....And I think it will do pretty well; it's a summer series, it's in a good timeslot, and you've got the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming out the week before the debut as well (which makes me wonder why Burnett didn't pitch this to ABC first).
