ISLE BET FOR EYE
CBS makes sure it's a strike 'Survivor'
By JOSEF ADALIAN, MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

CBS has just purchased some pretty powerful
strike insurance, pacting with "Survivor" exec
producer Mark Burnett on a mega-deal that
guarantees at least two more Burnett-produced editions of the reality phenom -- and the promise of
even more installments later.

In addition, the Eye has decided to play its "Survivor" card for all it's worth: Net is moving its biggest hit
of the fall, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" to the 9 p.m. Thursday slot following "Survivor," a
scheduling play that emerged as a serious possibility last week (Daily
Variety, Jan. 2). Move pits the young CBS
Prods./Alliance Atlantis skein opposite mighty
competish on NBC ("Will & Grace") and ABC ("Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire").
