Survivor Philippines is a top-rating reality game show produced by Castaway Television Productions, Ltd. and GMA Network Inc.'s News and Public Affairs Department aired over GMA Network.
After its successful run of two seasons; consecutively held in Koh Tarutao, Thailand and Palau, Micronesia the show is now on its third season, titled Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown.
Survivor Philippines is largely based on the international franchise of Survivor produced in more than 50 territories around the world.
The format for Survivor was created in 1992 by British television producer Charlie Parsons. It is considered as the pioneer for making reality television a popular television genre.
Format
With cameras following their every move, the contestants called castaways are sent in the wilderness, usually in an island or forest setting. They would try to survive daily living without the bare necessities and compete with each other for almost 40 days for cash and other prizes.
The castaways are initially grouped into teams or tribes that go against each other during reward and immunity challenges set within every three days. These challenges are mostly physical, mental and endurance activities.
The reward challenges won by the tribe or an individual castaway entail prizes like food, fire, a video message from loved ones or simple luxuries like shower or a trip to a local tourist destination. The prize for winning immunity challenges, on the other hand, is “immunity” from the tribal council or protection from being voted off the island and from the game.
Through progressive elimination, the castaways are to vote off other tribe members until the final set of contestants remain.
The members of the jury or the castaways voted off during the merging of the tribes choose who wins the title of “Sole Survivor” and the cash prize that goes along with it.
For Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown, 18 famous personalities or celebrities are selected through screening to join the contest.
The will try to outplay, outwit and outlast each other as they brave the elements.
Adjusting to their new lifestyle, their goal is to win over their fellow celebrities to become the first Sole Celebrity Survivor. The winner will receive the cash prize of 3 million pesos.
Personal Favorite Castaway
Hmmm... Karen delos Reyes, I dont know if she has the “Sole Survivor” material, but when it comes to “totoong-tao” attitude, grabe nasa kanya na lahat! I so love this show!
