The rumors about location for the seventh episode of Survivor have been percolating for some time. Most of the rumors have picked a site close to the United States -- and that site has usually been Mexico. The rumors have gained enough momentum that, back on April 8, the Orange County Register even referred to "trying to get a bet down on Survivor: Mexico" when discussing the online betting 'scandal' in Survivor: The Amazon.

Now Dan Bollinger and Louise Craven, who operate the Web site Survivor Maps, claim to have discovered the location of Survivor 7 in Mexico. They state that the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, in the state of Quintana Roo (which also includes Cancun and Cozumel), will be the home to the next group of stranded castaways.

This website provides information about Sian Ka'an. From the description, the site appears to be similar to many of the other sites that Mark Burnett has used in filming Survivor, which makes this rumor seem very appealing. In addition, Dan Bollinger has a long track record as a location sleuth, despite his touting of Jordan as the location for what ultimately became Survivor: Marquesas.

Thus, unless information inconsistent with this rumor comes out, we tend to believe that the next version of Survivor will indeed take place in one of the primary resort aresa of the world. We have no doubt, however, that the contestants will not confuse it with a trip to "Club Med."
