concept
A group of people who didn't know each other personally before the show began is abandoned in a remote location. The candidates are divided into two or more tribes and have to take care of food, water, fire and shelter for their respective tribe themselves and without outside help.
Competitions are held at regular intervals where you can win a reward or immunity . In the first phase of the game, the tribes compete against each other in these competitions, whereby only the victorious tribe wins the reward or immunity. The latter is particularly important, because at the end of each episode a member of the losing tribe is elected by their own tribal colleagues from the game in the so-called Tribal Council . In a few cases, however, contestants had to leave the game for medical reasons after being injured or ill.
Since the eliminations continuously reduce the number of individuals remaining in the game, a merge occurs in the final phase and all candidates become a single tribe. The competitions will be held on an individual basis from this point on and only one person can then win a reward and / or immunity. In the end, there are two or three players left. These then have to face a jury consisting of the seven, eight or nine candidates who were eliminated last. This jury then selects the winner from the remaining people, who receives the title Sole Survivor and one million US dollars .
