Survivor UK 2023 next episode Saturday 11th November 19:25 BBC1

[Nicky91]

lets consider this a general discussion thread shall we


Joel Dommett welcomes 18 castaways to the Dominican Republic, to the ultimate physical and psychological competition show. Divided into two rival tribes, they live on remote beaches, build their own shelters, face the elements and battle against each other in epic challenges for reward or immunity.

The two tribes are immediately pitted against each other in their first reward challenge - a brutally exhausting clash to retrieve basic supplies. Divisions begin to form, and personalities are put to the test as the losing tribe struggles to deal with the harsh environment.

The groups also compete in their first immunity challenge, an intense feat of endurance. For the losing tribe, it means a sunset showdown at tribal council, where they must vote off one of their own.

Which tribe will win the first immunity challenge? And who will become the first person voted out of the game, leaving their dreams of winning £100,000 and the title of Sole Survivor in tatters?

Pre-determined by production to be as balanced as possible

I wasn’t really concentrating but it looked like he asked them to all sit down around him then the split was down the middle ?

It’s too much for one team to have everything and the other to have nothing


Don’t like this start at all


Although I have always liked being the under dog as it’s so satisfying to win against the odds

It's very harsh.

[Zizu]

It's very harsh.


I think I’d be pushing for my team to be sympathetic towards the struggling team

At least give them a little food and maybe start their fire for them ..

This is a good immunity challenge, quite tense!

[_Tom_]

Aw, poor Caleton :bawling:

I’m watching in a slight delay ..

I’m thinking they should have the strong ones spread around then the weaker ones can pass their weight on to a stronger person

How did everyone find it?

I thought that was an OK first episode. Not a patch on US or Australian Survivor, but will give it a chance and hope it improves - I'm just glad the show is back! Tribal lacked suspense but it was only the first vote off.

I’ll watch the second episode but I hate the unfair start .. then after not eating they make them do a physical endurance test

That’s just bollox on top of bollox

I enjoyed it. Used to love it when it was on years ago. I haven't seen any of the international versions. It's like a harder shipwrecked

[Zizu]

It looks just like Shipwrecked to me ..

Just watched the first episode. A little too much Joel for me... I find him quite annoying as is, but to then have to listen to him narrate essentially the entire episode brought it down a lot. I also feel like there's a time and a place to do 'comedy' and Survivor isn't it. It's supposed to be suspenseful, dramatic etc...

I do like the cast and the challenges were very tense and very Survivor-y, I don't want to give up on it just yet.

[Vanessa]

I'm watching it now.

[AnnieK]

I enjoyed it....

[Vanessa]

Poor Carleton. No fire, no food.

[Zizu]

They were given a fire lighter at end of the first episode I think ..

Live now (8pm) on BBC1, but has also been available on iPlayer since the end of ep 1

[_Tom_]

Second episode was really good, much better than the first! Tense tribal council.

Hidden Immunity Idols being introduced next episode :amazed:

I cheered when Caleton won immunity. I'm really rooting for them.

Me too! I was glad that they finally got a break!

[Vanessa]

Me too! I was glad that they finally got a break!

I don't like the other team. They're far too cocky.

[Kate!]

I don't like Pegleg much

[jones89]

Anyone else recognize Christopher? I know he’s a singer. Was he on X Factor or something? I know i’ve seen him somewhere before

Don't think he's been on X Factor. He was on a show called 'Rolling in It' with Jason Donovan, apparently. Is that what you know him from?

Nah i’ve never seen that.. gonna annoy me where i’ve seen him before haha

[caprimint]

I thought the premiere was pretty good tbh, Joel isn't Jeff but he's really good and I like him a lot. Laurence ftw :love:

a shame you guys can't watch our dutch version Expeditie Robinson


also very good, even won a national tv award here recently (65% of the viewer votes)



yes i enjoyed the first episode as well, some things i recognize from our version, but some things are different, like with the opening reward challenge, and a separate immunity challenge, whereas we just have one challenge a week, with a little reward also up for grabs as well as immunity



Poor Richard, but tbh if you dig a grave for someone else, you fall in it yourself, and he was the weakest link that challenge :fan:



guess i call Laurence more ''posh boy'' for now, although i think he can go a long way, also handy to have him in your camp, with experience growing up in costa rica ;) he knows that area well i think, plants etc

[Cherie]

When is this on next?

That Irish guy is horrendous....so sure of himself

I would watch every version if i could. Only seen the Australian and South African versions

[jones89]

It’s on every Sat and Sunday

I’m not too sure of him atm, i’ve never heard any Irish person speak the way he does, it’s like a whole other language he’s speaking

Oh cheers he sounds like a traveller

[Nicky91]

episode 2

great challenges! also good that Pegleg didn't have to that reward challenge with his leg not quite right one for him to compete in, he was one of the strongest of La Nena in the immunity challenge, lols at Sabrina trying to get rid of Rach while she was even weaker in that challenge, immediately swimming towards Christopher to replace her :laugh: and then saying ''i am great at swimming'' :joker: yeah we saw that, also the divide in that little group, 2 votes on Rach, 2 votes on Ashleigh, where the other group in that camp worked together on getting rid of Sabz, Doug did good on that dagger in Sabz her back :hehe: he made the right choice


teaser for ep3
immunity pins!!!!!!!! up for grabs now :dance2: i deffo think we'll get more and more drama as this series goes on, especially with these tactical weapons


great start to you guys your comeback series, very oldschool survivor and Joel does a fab job of hosting too

[Nicky91]

whew that Laurence guy is well educated, also fluent in such many languages either, even in Azerbaijani

:o


is the CEO of SurvivorLife apparently, and co-founder

[Vanessa]

Caleton wins immunity again! Wooooo :cheer2::dance:

[_Tom_]

Enjoyed last night's episode! Loved the moral dilemma with the fish! Lee is so arrogant and annoying, hope he gets blindsided soon!

[Vanessa]

Caleton won a barbecue. That looks amazing!

[Nicky91]

that was a tough reward challenge :o :o :o


dutch version literally challenges here gotten sooo meh, pathetically silly




the immunity challenge, omg YASSSSSSS balance and creating a word :love: good on La Nena for winning that



think Leilani, will deffo switch sides :fan: the way she was treated over on Caleton's side, think she and Pegleg will get along well



the drama will deffo come (especially post merge i feel) such a competitive group this lot, once again superb castings by BBC, pure quality same as Traitors

[Nicky91]

Enjoyed last night's episode! Loved the moral dilemma with the fish! Lee is so arrogant and annoying, hope he gets blindsided soon!

i would've chosen the larger fish, i think it's smarter to be laying good in the group rather than already thinking of yourself (which should more be done post merge)

[Nicky91]

i put the timeslot in for next weekend, earlier yes

as strictly is also earlier on

[Cherie]

They are so horrible to Shai .....hope he wins

[Vanessa]

Tough challenge.

[Vanessa]

Caleton wins immunity. Yay

[Jack_]

This is getting better which is promising

Far too many strength based challenges. Where are the puzzles?! Was nice to finally see an obstacle course on Saturday’s ep, felt more like actual Survivor

Joel is improving too, but I could really do without the pop music in the edit

[_Tom_]

Final this weekend! This has gotten really good, the post merge has been great. So happy Christopher has lasted this long. He's been the most entertaining and really hope he takes the win :love:

[Vanessa]

Shame to lose Pegleg. I really liked him. O lu four left now.

[Barry.]

I want Hannah or Matthew to win. Though wouldn’t mind any of them to win overall

[Vanessa]

Another immunity challenge.

[Vanessa]

Endurance trial. It's a tough one.
