Survivor vets visit Big Brother
A pair of contestants from Survivor and Survivor 2 will be entering the Big Brother house on CBS next week for a little competition.
Gervase Peterson and Sue Hawk from the original Survivor, along with Jeff Varner and Alisha Calloway from the second Survivor are going to help CBS with a
ratings stunt on Sept. 5.
The four Survivors will take on the four remaining Big Brother contestants in a competition within the
on-going show's household grounds.
CBS executives aren't saying what exactly that game will be.
Earlier this week, CBS added a special Sept. 5 addition of Big Brother (8 p.m. ET/PT) to help it launch new reality series The Amazing Race at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
The special episode of Big Brother also just happens to go head-to-head with NBC's debut of reality series Lost at 8 p.m. on Sept. 5.
Earlier this month, NBC announced it would air a special episode of Fear Factor on Sept. 5 to go head-to-head with CBS' debut of The Amazing Race. - Joe Schlosser
