Survivor returns to Nine.

They took their sweet ass time in doing so, but Channel Nine have finally set Survivor: China onto their summer schedule. Despite being pretty much completed in the US, the season has been firmly nestled in my Top 5 wanted TV shows.

The timeslot of 7:30pm Saturday night is both a good and bad compromise. The good aspect is that more people will get to see it. The bad is that most people still won't, as Saturday night is a graveyard. And being run in the Summer period, its more like a graveyard within a graveyard.

No matter though, Survivor is one of those rare shows that has lasted 13 seasons and never jumped the shark once. Sure there have been lacking seasons (Thailand), but that was the fault of the contestants, not the showrunners. I personally think last season was the best ever, so here's hoping for even bigger and better Summer viewing, and you can be sure that Survivor will be covered extensively each week here on DiH-D.

Survivor: China - 7:30pm Saturday, December 8th. Channel Nine.
