'Survivor: Samoa' not affected by earthquake, tsunami
Twitter
The massive tsunami caused by an earthquake that hit Samoa early Tuesday has not affected the production or airing of CBS' "Survivor: Samoa."The 19th season of "Survivor" that is currently airing had already cleared out of the area long ago. The following season, however, was also taking place in "Samoa," but none of the cast or crew were harmed, reports E! Online.
Apparently, the cast of the 20th season -- rumored to be a special "All Stars: Heroes vs. Villains" -- had already left Samoa earlier in September having wrapped filming. A few crew members were left in the area.
The 19th and 20th seasons were filmed back to back.
So far, CBS has decided to continue airing "Survivor: Samoa" in its usual Thursday time slot instead of pulling the episode out of respect for the tsunami victims. It's expected that the episode will include a public service announcement for flood relief.

Hey Brandon, Season 19 was finished filming months ago. Season 20 finished early in September. They were doing back-to-back seasons. Do a little research.
