How to Deal with Survivor's Extended Hiatus

Just a quick note that I'm doing this post on a different laptop in order to help deal with the transition of blogger that is going on right now. I might even put a picture in this as I want to make sure that what I've done in the past can be done on the new blogger as well. I am quite annoyed with this and have to use a different laptop if I want there to be any hope (it seems) of me using the new blogger at all. I will get more into my issues with that in a different blog post. Now, I should get to the actual introduction.

A lot of Survivor fans are having to deal with what is effectively a channel that won't come in as we have to wait a long time before a new Survivor season airs. What are we supposed to do during the meantime? Read a book? Go outside and play? Talk to friends and family on the phone? Who would really do such ridiculous things?

In all seriousness though, there are different ways of handling the fact that we don't yet know when Survivor will be filming a new season, much less airing said season. It could be over a year or even longer. But what is the best way of dealing with the fact that there won't be any new Survivor episodes this fall for the first time since 2000?

One could watch old seasons of Survivor on DVD or some other format. One could catch up on Survivor blogs that people still post during the hiatus of the show and date back until the season of One World that also covers some old seasons too. One could read Survivor blogs that aren't mine. One could listen to old Survivor podcasts that various sites and people have done if they are still accessible. Or one could just watch whatever other shows happen to be on TV that aren't Survivor.

I have no idea just how much people are podcasting about the past of Survivor like they could be. Has Rob Cesterino done podasts on Amazon or All-Stars, in addition to seasons that he was not on? What about Tocantins, which his podcast buddy Stephen Fishbach was on? He could even have the boots from certain episodes appear as the guests on it. But one would hope that they are able to do something so that they can keep people entertained.

How are you dealing with Survivor's airing gap? You may be awaiting the next season for tons of different reasons. Maybe you are supposed to be a player for any of the next seasons. I heard that they were casting all the way up to season 44 potentially. Who knows just how much they will be able to film in advance when they are able to start filming again? There could be a lot of seasons in waiting for the future when they can film Survivor again. I'd like to know how you are managing and keep in mind that you can read a book, spend time outside, and talk to people on the phone. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
