Dennis Anderson and Rob Mariano

Survivor's Boston Rob and Dennis Anderson are spotted on the set of their new show Around the World in 80 Days earlier this week in the California desert.

Rob - who finally won Survivor this season after four attempts - talked with Zap2it on Monday about the new show:

"I'm on a plane tonight going to Los Angeles and I start production in the morning on a new show that I'm doing. It's called Around the World in 80 Ways, it's adrenaline-style TV, which is perfect for me. I love adventure, so I'm excited to be working on something new and making the transition from reality show contestant to host.

"The basic premise of the show is me and a co-host are going to travel around the world, from point A to point B, but you can never repeat any of the forms of transportation. If you use a commercial airline once, you can't use it again. You need to take a fighter jet or a blimp or a hot air balloon. Within that context, we're goign to try to use transportation that is indigenous to the area. If we're in the desert, we'll ride camels."

Look for Around the World in 80 Days to premiere on the History Channel this Fall.
