The show was created by

Eden and may finish the show up this summer. See NEWS

Another good article today
(3/15) check out the news area - lots of inside
details on the way the show runs.
Looks like the show is being
filmed in Jamaica - see the News Area for details
and a link to an article.
The show will normally run
on Thursdays although the premire will be (was) on March 1st and 2nd following
American Idol. (update - this seems to have changed - might be on Monday's
now)
The initial cast
featured 6 women and 5 men, meaning a woman should be the first to go.
(I
was wrong there)
Players pick off one of their
own each week. “Forever Eden” calls this a “banishment."
Contestants earn $4,000 in
gold coins for each week they remain (for gold coins).
They get to keep it all only
if they survive 10 weeks (and agree to stay longer).
If they're booted, they lose
half the money which they give to people that remain.
If they leave on their own,
they lose all of it.
The show is being advertised
as lasting "forever," but Fox has only commited to 25 episodes which
means it should run for at least six months
Once someone is kicked off,
he or she is replaced the next day.
The lag time between filming
and air time is about a week.
The show currently (2/27/04)
has eight people on standby.
Producers visited 18 cities
to find contestants.
No one who is married or has
children is allowed to participate.
The contestants are cut off
from their previous lives and have no access to telephones, television,
newspapers or the Internet.
