Survivor 45 rumors suggest that the episodes could be longer than in the past.
This could be good for the reality competition show, especially since the producers have so much extra footage.
Filling a 90-minute timeslot with more footage gathered in Fiji seems like it would be an easy endeavor.
Survivor 44 episodes are usually 60 minutes, with a few special nights that get pushed to 90 or 120 minutes.
Those longer episodes tend to increase fan discussions, especially since more interactions among castaways can be shown.
And for die-hard Survivor fans, who wouldn’t want to see more than 60 minutes of the show each week?
Longer episodes rumored for Survivor 45
Based on @realitytv_fan’s Instagram post, InsideSurvivor reports that the producers and CBS are looking into expanding weekly episodes to 90 minutes.
It’s possible that the idea was leaked to get feedback from the fans.
Recently, there have been many complaints about the show getting rid of the opening titles and music, the cold open for the episodes, and the lack of daily life coverage.
Bumping the episodes to 90 minutes each would allow the producers to put things back into the show that has been cut for time. That’s always a good thing.
