Expedition Robinson
Survivor U.S.

This version of the show was aired on Mega TV for two seasons from 2003 to 2004. While the series was titled Survivor, it also took elements from Survivor's predecessor Expedition Robinson such as that of the North and South teams. While the series was not considered a flop, it did not achieve the ratings that Mega TV had hoped for and at the end of its second season it was cancelled only to be brought back two years later for a joint season with Turkey. After 7 years, on 13 February 2017, the show came back on Skai TV with Sakis Tanimanidis as host. The current season is hosted by Giorgos Lianos.

Format and rules

For the Mega TV editions (seasons 1-4) Greek Survivor followed the format of American Survivor, with added twists such as Redemption Island (where voted out players could return). The show produced more episodes than the American version, usually splitting a week's episodes between the reward and the immunity challenges, but the main format remained close to the original CBS one.

In the event of a tie at Tribal Councils, contestants competed in a duel in order to determine who would be eliminated. Additionally, when a player was forced out of the game due to sickness, he/she couldn't be a member of jury. As seen in season two, if jury members did not wish to cast a vote for a winner they were not required to.

After Skai TV picked up the production rights in a collaboration with producer Acun Ilıcalı, the format of the game completely changed. Challenges pitted people in 1v1 (or sometimes 2v2 or 3v3) situations, with the winner gifting their team a point. Teams that reached 10 points first won the challenge (like a volleyball match).

Another major change was the introduction of fan voting. The tribe who lost Immunity Challenge had to select two or three players to be in the Elimination Vote. The fans, through calls and texts, then chose the Survivor who should leave the game. This change required the game to be broadcast with minimal delay (usually 2 days) in order for the fans to vote in time. Fans voting was the deciding factor in the Semi Final and Final too, with no jury in place.

The general success of the show, pushed the production team to extend the duration of the game, usually by introducing new players in later stages. This tactic pushed Season 6 to drag for 177 days, which many considered it made it stale.
