By Christopher Rocchio, 05/20/2008
CBS has announced open casting calls and begun accepting applications
for Survivor's eighteenth season, which will air as part of the
network's Spring 2009 primetime programming lineup.
Casting for Survivor's eighteenth season commenced on Sunday in Seattle,
WA and will continue over the next several weeks with stops in Sanford,
FL; Wilkes Barre/Scranton, PA; Costa Mesa, CA; and Austin, TX. Those
interested can also apply by submitting an application and video, which
must be received no later than July 15.
For the first time in the long-running CBS reality show's history,
Survivor has lowered its minimum age requirement from 21- to 18-years-old.
All Survivor applicants must be 18 years or older at the time they apply
-- except in Alabama, Nebraska and Wyoming, where the minimum age
requirement is 19; amd Mississippi and Washington, D.C., where
applicants must still be 21 years or older at the time they apply.
Applications and additional casting requirements are available via CBS'
website.
A total of approximately 800 applicants will then be invited to
interview sometime in August 2008 in person at one of the following
locations: Los Angeles, Ca; New York, NY; Seattle, WA; Chicago, IL;
Dallas, TX: Detroit, MI; Boston, MA; Atlanta, GA; Miami, FL; and Denver, CO.
Approximately 48 semifinalists will then be invited to Los Angeles in
September for final interviews with Survivor producers before roughly 16
finalists will be selected as castaways to compete on the show's
eighteenth installment.
The show's production is currently slated to commence in late October
and run through mid-December.
