Second Survivor makes its debut
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Figs anyone? An estimated 42 million people watched that unappetizing meal tried by a member of the second Survivor crew.
A hungry contestant on the first episode bit into the fig, then quickly spit it out after discovering the fruit was infested with hundreds of crawling bugs. On the first Survior, adventurous diners ate rat.
CBS said the preliminary Nielsen Media Research ratings for Survivor: The Australian Outback might have been even higher if the Super Bowl's second half had been more competitive and the game show had started earlier than 10.17 p.m. on the East Coast. Ratings for Survivor were higher in the West, where it started three hours earlier.
The preliminary viewership figure was based on an overnight sample of 47 cities. Complete national ratings were due yesterday.
The show's structure was reassuringly familiar but the people and setting provided the contrast from the first Survivor, the television phenomenon that drew 51 million people to its climactic episode last August.
Sixteen scheming strangers — split into the Kucha and Ogakor tribes — began competing for a $1 million prize. Debb Eaton, a 45-year-old corrections officer from Berlin, N.H., had the dubious distinction of being the first voted out.
"She's not somebody in the outside world that I'd talk to because she'd make me crazy," Long Island, N.Y., bartender Kimmi Kappenberg said before voting to eat Eaton.
Even before Eaton was sent away, Survivor got down to the serious business of creating heroes and villains, showing which contestants irritated others and which were working hard.
Eaton's Kucha tribo lost the first immunity challenge badly. Both teams had to cross three portions of the Herbert River in desolate northeastern Australia carrying a torch to light a bonfire.
The first outback Survivor will be repeated Wednesday at 7 p.m. before the limited series moves to its regular slot — opposite NBC's Friends on Thursday at 7 p.m.
