Survivor: Thailand; the fifth season of the celebrated series; finds the Sook Jai tribe battling the Chuay Gahn in the rugged beauty of the mountainous island of Koh Tarutao; Thailand. Home to everything from wild buffalo to king cobra; the only thing more treacherous than the island is the cast; itself; in a season rife with double crosses and false alliances. Thailand marks the first time contestants get to choose their tribes. The eldest survivors; Jake Billingsley and Jan Gentry; are both allowed to pick alliances making for an outrageously unpredictable game. Tension builds as members of the Sook Jai refuse to contribute to the shelter; which culminates in a tribe member trying to align herself with the Chuay Gahn only to have her own tribe turn against her. Watch as a mutiny backfires; and a merger is not what it seems. Twists abound in the thrilling fifth season. Discover who will be the sole survivor in this special-edition DVD set with revealing special features.
Back in August we brought you the CBS Home Entertainment
press release about their plans to offer
Survivor - Season 5: Thailand on DVD via Amazon's CreateSpace manufacture on demand (MOD) program. The studio document detailed a nice list of bonus material, and a price of $34.95 SRP, and a pre-order entry at Amazon (scroll down for the button link), and we had cover art as well (seen again below). But no availability date was provided at the time! Now, at last, Amazon's listing has been updated to show that the title will begin shipping on
October 25th...a week from tomorrow!
What about the other title announced at the same time the other month,
Survivor - Season 6: The Amazon? At the time of this writing, the listing at Amazon.com still is not displaying any release date...the entry still says "
This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." Stay tuned, however, and we'll update you if something changes! Our thanks to reader Brett Ashley Hawkins for the heads-up about the date being added to the listing (I'd literally looked at it just a few hours earlier! Ah, well).
