Normally Ed Sullivan Theatre in NY

Since most of the Survivors are from Los Angeles... I am guessing it will be in the Kodak Center in Hollywood, Calif. They will not have to fly to New York
and spend the nights in a hotel. It will save a lot of money just to have it in Hollywood.

All the early ones were in NYC, and last years was too. So I am ASSUMING this will be too.

They've been switching off between NYC and LA, with the Fall shows in LA and the Spring shows in NYC.

They shot the finale on a sound stage at the CBS studios in "CBS TV City", on the corner of Fairfax and Beverly Blvd., near Farmers Market and The Grove shopping center. It's the studio on the East side of Genesee Ave.

It happens to the exact same stage that they are shooting Dancing With The Stars on as we speak. When I went to the Gabon final last December, they still had signs up for Dancing With The Stars.

The north half of this building is one stage. The concrete pad to the right is the side entrance. The right side, lower roof is all of the dressing rooms and backstage stuff. The top, North, with the red outline, is the front entrance and the back of the studio. The stage is down where the air conditioning stuff is, in the middle. Imagine Jeff Probst sitting around a fire right about there and audience in stands, going up towards the North.

Imagine the Dancing with the Stars stage set into this main building, with the main stage at the bottom. That's where it's shot. I went through that gate and parked in that parking lot.

Pull out and look around the map to see exactly where it is.

Google Maps

Street view. Large white building is stage.

I was playing with Google Earth and got this image. I put captions on to show where they shoot it.

I agree with cwalton because last time it looked like a CBS Studio building.
I think that will be the most likely place to have the finale.
