Call it Super Sunday II: In a bid to maximize its May sweeps performance, CBS has moved the two-hour final episode of the upcoming 'Survivor: Marquesas' from a traditional Thursday-night berth to Sunday, May 19 19 — likely pitting it against Fox's series finale for 'The X-Files. '

The Sunday scheduling means CBS will have no fewer than four hours of 'Survivor'-related programming during the last full week of the May ratings book. The penultimate episode of season four of Mark Burnett's reality hit will air as planned on Thursday, May 16; a two-hour finale follows from 8-10 p.m. on May 19; and an hourlong post-show is set for 10 p.m.
