CBS: Fiji coup won't impact ‘Survivor’ filming

NEW YORK - Some real-life unrest in Fiji won’t have an impact on the tribal councils of “Survivor,” CBS said Wednesday.

CBS is filming another edition of its popular game on an island in Fiji, where a military ruler led a coup against the country’s elected government. Most of the action was confined to the nation’s capital, Suva.

CBS has pulled some production staff out of Suva and, except for some minor issues with travel and delivery of supplies, the show has not been affected, said CBS entertainment spokesman Chris Ender.

“Our producers on location have been assured by the Fiji military that we are safe on the remote island where we are filming and that our cast and crew will be permitted to leave the country safely when the show wraps production,” he said.
