No, that happened January 2004 after S8. Let me quote from 2005-01-18

Sheesh, this didn't take long ... less than an hour! Maybe the boys
had their pissing game fun in front of everyone to see who was going

In a choice bit of Hollywood dramatics, CBS also announced a deal with
executive producer Mark Burnett for two more Survivor editions after
Moonves and Burnett hammered it out by the escalators at the
Renaissance Hollywood Hotel.
A few minutes earlier, Burnett had complained to a roomful of
reporters that he hadn't made his deal with CBS and time was running
short.
Moonves said he was happy with the deal, despite calling Burnett a
"drama queen."

Everything is up for negotiation in the entertainment industry. Especially
one's morality.
