SABC3 has confirmed that Mark Burnett's anticipated Expedition Impossible will no longer premiere on the channel while M-Net have confirmed that they've scooped the rights to it for a February 2012 premiere.

The series was scheduled to debut on SABC3 on Monday, 14 November and has been a no-show for the past two weeks, despite continued promos for it. As reported on TV with Thinus, the fiasco's a result of trust issues between the SABC and distributors who don't want to supply shows as a result of non-payment by the SABC.

An SABC insider told TVSA that the payment issue isn't in relation to Expedition Impossible specifically but in relation to non-payment for other shows from the past.

According to our source, the SABC paid for Expedition Impossible approximately two weeks ago and weren't informed that there was an outstanding payment from the past that would impact on the supply of the show.

Today SABC3 announced that Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Orange County will be starting in its place, from this Monday, 28 November.

The channel also announced that the next season of Survivor: Survivor Samoa will be premiering once it ends, on 23 January. 

The Amazing Race 15 was scheduled to start in January but the series hasn't been delivered yet whereas Survivor has so TAR has been scheduled to start once Survivor ends. Whether it will or not remains to be seen.

I'm assuming that the Amazing Race tapes haven't arrived because they've decayed due to extreme old age?

I watched it before, don't really like it, it's pretty dull to me. Like really watching housewives...

The O.C housewives are similar to those Big, Rich Texas women on Stlye Network; scary plastic surgery, bleached blond hair and overtanned orange skin. SABC 3 should have brought the Atlanta housewives instead.

Can't believe Sabc 3 screwed up yet again!They don't really care about their viewers!Survivor fans is going to love Survivor:Samoa!Survivor's biggest villain will be introduced,there's no more Exile Island and there's a lot of new twists! Dstv Viewers can catch The Amazing Race 15(which was supposed to start on sabc 3 in January 2012)every weekday at 15:40 on Sony,and the repeats on Saturday.The Amazing Race 16 and 17 will air back-to-back! The Real Housewives of Atlanta is much better!!!
