Talk about a taste of its own medicine – so to speak. The pioneer reality competition series bent on testing people’s ability to adapt in the harshest of conditions, is finding it hard surviving the first stages of production. According to its long-serving host, Jeff Probst, Survivor 17 aka Survivor: Gabon aka Survivor: Gabon, Earth’s Last Eden, has hit more than its fair share of bumps and bruises. Two things really bugging production on the 17th edition of Survivor are: the remoteness of the location, and the indigenous animal life that come with it. According to Probst, one of the finest-looking specimens of television hosting eye candy, pre-production necessities look to pose the most pressing dilemma for the show. As of this writing, the quarters intended to house the crew have not yet been erected, leaving personnel bivouacking for the time being. Other incidents that have set back Survivor: Gabon include a fallen crane and some painstaking shipping delays. Apart from the logistic shortcomings, Probst also cited the problem regarding the animals. Put another way, Survivor is finding it difficult to survive amidst Gabon’s natural resources. “We have a danger problem with animals that we're trying to figure out how to handle,” Probst admitted. “There's so much truly wild life out there, we're not sure what to do. We don't want the animals around for safety reasons, but we'd love to have a hippo sneak in every so often. I just got a call from our executive producer that we've got hippo tracks at base camp." Incidentally, a shipping crate with around $100,000 worth of food somehow evaporated into thin air. No word though whether the hippos had anything to do with its vanishing act. Indeed, Survivor: Gabon, Earth’s Last Eden may yet prove anything but, should its isolation, inaccessibility and rawness continue to pose bigger issues.
