Survivor: Edge of Extinction’s Tribal Council set is like no other

Even though the name Edge of Extinction feels more geared to a twist as opposed to a theme, the Tribal Council set creates a uniquely haunting Survivor environment.

Over the past few seasons,production has concentrated on differentiatingthe appearances of Tribal Council. This task has become more necessary sinceSurvivor: Edge of Extinctionis the sixth straight season set in Fiji. The effort put into making the Tribal Council this season helped to create one of the most unique appearances in the show’s history.

We got our first look at the set whenJeff Probst gave ET Canada a behind-the-scenes tour. The first thing that strikes us is the massive shipwreck that serves as a backsplash to the Tribal Council area. It does a good job of combining the spookiness ofGhost Islandand the epicness ofDavid vs. Goliath’sTribal Council set.Edge of Extinctionalso does a terrific job with the little details.

This setting is reminiscent of the pirate-themed seasons includingPearl IslandsandCook Islands. In fact, the Tribal Council inCook Islandsactually took place inside of a massive shipwrecked boat. So you definitely feel the similarities in terms of the set withEdge Of Extinction. Let’s hope that the gameplay will be just as entertaining as those two other Elite seasons.

While the earlier seasons ofSurvivorfocused on building epic sets that look spectacular from a bird’s-eye view, this new season is filled with little props that surround the area. As Jeff mentioned in his Tribal Council tour, it’s awesome that there’s a story behind the set. Scattered across Tribal Council are several items that realistically look like they come from that ship. Even the benches that the castaways will sit on are replaced by stylized boxes.

Even though the buzz aroundEdge of Extinctionfeels more geared to theRedemption Island-style twistthan an actual theme, the atmosphere developed by this Tribal Council brings the season to life. Let’s hope that the creativity behind this beautiful backdrop will be rewarded by entertaining Tribal Councils.
