What's a little military coup going to do when facing off against reality behemoth Survivor? Nothing, says CBS. When military leaders ousted the prime minister and his government, the first thing on many reporters minds may have been whether citizens would be caught in a nationwide slaughter and held captive by their new government. But the Associated Press? Those cats had more important issues on their minds: your primetime viewing schedule.

CBS is filming another edition of its popular game on an island in Fiji, where a military ruler led a coup against the country's elected government. Most of the action was confined to the nation's capital, Suva.

CBS has pulled some production staff out of Suva and, except for some minor issues with travel and delivery of supplies, the show has not been affected, said CBS entertainment spokesman Chris Ender.

"Our producers on location have been assured by the Fiji military that we are safe on the remote island where we are filming and that our cast and crew will be permitted to leave the country safely when the show wraps production," he said.

Or they'll be forced to spend a night on Exile Island, looking for the immunity idol, and pulling hermit crabs out of their shells for food.
