Exotic locales make changeover a challenge for CBS
By James Hibberd
Survivors ready ... for HD?
The eight-year-old reality competition series is finally getting upgraded to high definition. Next fall's 17th outing will be the first time the show's exotic locations, elaborate challenges and gruesome bug bites will be available in the widescreen HD format.
CBS announced the production upgrade at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas on Sunday.
"Shooting in high definition gives our production team tools for storytelling beyond what was previously possible and will give our loyal audience an enhanced viewing experience," said Ghen Maynard, executive vp alternative programming at CBS Paramount Entertainment Group. " 'Survivor's' locations and natural elements have always served as another character in the show and an important part of the competition. With HD, viewers will feel as if they are on location instead of in their living room."

Survivor Castoff Ami Discusses Life on the Island

Ami Cusack, the most recent castoff from Survivor: Micronesia (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET, CBS), may have taken this season's setup too literally. The 35-year-old nanny from Denver, Colorado, spent her last days on the island caught between the fans and the favorites. She tried to find her place — and play both sides — but in the end the truth about her duplicity set her free from the game. With her torch snuffed, Ami told TVGuide.com just how hard it was to be the woman in the middle.
TVGuide.com: You were a strong player, but by the end you were very emotional. Were you playing the game all the way through to tribal council?
Ami Cusack: I honestly don't feel like I was playing the game until the last three hours on the beach. After Yau-Man got voted out and Cirie chose to vote with the other alliance, my game just went on pause. [Later on] after I talked with Cirie and Amanda, I started playing wholeheartedly again. Even though I had a pretty serious injury, I felt like I was ready to rock and roll again.
TVGuide.com: You took a beating out there, but we didn't see much of that.
Ami: I blew out my ACL. I completely ripped it in half, so I was playing every challenge after that with no ACL. It was pretty serious.
