‘Survivor’ not harmed by Pacific quake, tsunami

LOS ANGELES — “Survivor” is safe in Samoa.

A spokeswoman for the CBS reality show says no crew members were harmed by the powerful earthquake that struck the South Pacific between Samoa and American Samoa around dawn Tuesday, sending large tsunami waves ashore.

The earthquake, with a magnitude between 8.0 and 8.3, had no affect on the 20th season production, which the spokeswoman said was not filming at the time.

The 19th season was also filmed in Samoa.
