survivor uk was flawless

The BBC should pick it up as an eventual replacement for The Apprentice tbh

Really hope this is successful and uk networks are watching.

It's being filmed in Samoa and there will be 24 contestants :omgno:

I'm getting pretty hyped, even with the the likelihood it's gonna be a more drawn-out series. I like the producers other programs, and I can't help but get excited about this.

I'm so jealous that Australia are being gifted this, why oh why won't a UK network give it another shot and throw as much money at it as they are

Really looking forward to seeing how this plays out

Mateship and Romance on Australian Survivor

The Aussie remake of the hit reality series is expected to feature “mateship” and romance according to Executive Producer Stephen Tate.

Production is currently underway in Samoa for Network Ten’s adaptation of Survivor, and last week, the show’s Executive Producer Stephen Tate divulged some details of what to expect from the new series. Tate is also the Head of Entertainment and Factual Programming for Network Ten, and over the years has produced series such as Australian Idol, Big Brother, and MasterChef Austrailia.

Speaking to MCN.com, Tate revealed that the major difference between the Australian cast, compared to their international counterparts, is that they put much more value into “mateship.” While we are used to backstabbing and deception on American Survivor, Tate stated that some of the Aussie cast members “…are genuinely conflicted when it comes to voting out a mate.” Even though that might suggest a less compelling show to an American audience, Tate believes that it gives Australian Survivor “a lot of depth and heart.”

That’s not to say Australian Survivor is going to be all flowers and rainbows. “They are tough and funny and just as competitive as any international Survivor cast,” Tate said, with “…a few scoundrels thrown in for good measure.” Regarding what they have filmed so far, Tate said to expect: “Spectacular challenges with nail-biting finishes, camp sites washed away by king tides, alliances tested, brilliant blind sides at tribal council, and the discovery of secret immunity idols.” That sounds like all the ingredients of a great Survivor season. It even has what Tate described as “the Holy Grail” – a budding romance.

Over 15,000 people applied to be on the new series, with 24 making the official cast – which Tate said is a “diverse group aged from 22 to 62.” The season is filming in a remote area of Samoa, which Tate described as “breathtaking,” and will last for 55 days. Aussie actor Jonathan LaPaglia will host the show.

An official air-date has yet to be announced.

I don't see why not (from what I've heard, it's going to be fairly similar to the US version (so you may want to watch a season or two of that) but with a slightly stronger focus on friendship and loyalty)

Idk if 55 days is gonna be a good or bad thing. Same with 24 contestants. Hopefully it's a case of the bigger the better tho!

I didn't spot one ethnic minority in that teaser, I hope it isn't just all 20-30 year old middle class white people, one of the best things about Survivor is usually the diverse casts!

The age range is 22-62, so there's at least some diversity in that sense

Personally I'm rooting for the "24 is a big number!" gal
