CBS Lowers Contestant Age Limit to 18 for 'Survivor 18'

oscardahl · 05-22-2008, 11:53 AM

The 17th season of Survivor, Survivor: Gabon, is amping up to start filming in the west African nation in June, but CBS is already begun casting for Survivor 18, which is set to air beginning in January of 2009. Open casting calls around the country began last weekend, and will continue for the next few weeks. As they prepare for season 18 of the long-running reality series, CBS has made one major change to the application process: they've lowered the age requirement from 21 to 18. This is big news for 18, 19, and 20-year old Survivor fanatics around the country and a move by CBS that will, presumably, lead to a bigger talent pool for the network to work with and inject more youth into Survivor 18.

Survivor shouldn't be filmed in HD. Young or old, I don't care. I just want players who play a good game or make good characters. Not models.

He looks handsome. Is he single now? His blog and photos were found at dating site "W e a l t h y l o v I n g . co m" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is seeking on that site.

I made it to the 3rd audition round 2 years ago but was kicked out when they found out I was only 19. I'm glad atleast someone will benefit from this.
