About: Survivor
Survivor is an American reality show that is an interpretation of the international television franchise of Survivor, which itself is originated from the Swedish television show, Expedition Robinson which was released in 1997 and had been created by Charlie Parsons.
The American version of the series is presented by acclaimed television personality, Jeff Probst. The original creator, Parsons serves as one of the executive producers of the American series along with the host, Probst as well as Mark Burnett.
The television show follows a pack of strangers who are placed in a secluded and deserted region, where they must formulate shelter, food as well as fire to keep themselves safe and alive to survive in the game.
There are several other challenges that the contestants have to face before they can reach the next level. The contestants are tested on their physical ability by performing tasks such as running or swimming among many others while their mental strengths are assessed by giving them puzzles and other endurance challenges. The contestant has to take part in this challenger and must win for earning several rewards that will aid and guide them in the game and will immune themselves from the elimination.
The show gradually eliminates the contestants from the reality show when they are voted out by their fellow contenders up to the time when only one contestant remains standing who is declared the winner and thus earns the ultimate title of ‘Sole Survivor’ as well as a grand prize of 1,000,000 US dollars.
