Survivor
In the show, players must fend for themselves in an isolated location. They are tested on their physical and mental abilities, and compete in endurance challenges for rewards and immunity. They are gradually eliminated through votes until one player is left to become the sole survivor.
The American version of Survivor, which is adapted from the Swedish show Robinson, has been airing since 2000.
This season was shot in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji.
