Survivor UK returned to TV screens tonight (October 28) with a new set of contestants competing for the cash prize.
The 18 contestants were split into two tribes (La Nena and Caleton) and during their time on the show, they’ll take part in a range of physical and mental challenges for reward or immunity.
They will be marooned in a tropical location but where is the new series filmed?
Where is Survivor UK filmed?
Survivor UK is not filmed in the UK – it’s filmed in the Dominican Republic, reports the Metro.
The contestants and host Joel Dommett took part in the filming this summer.
Temperatures often reach the mid-30s around the time the series was filmed on the remote part of the Caribbean island.
One by one, players are voted out of their tribes at the iconic Tribal Council until the two tribes eventually merge and the game becomes a head-to-head battle.
Ultimately, only one person can take home the £100,000 cash prize and become the Sole Survivor.
The 18 contestants taking part in Survivor UK have been revealed as Ashleigh, Christopher, Doug, Hannah, Jess, Laurence, Lee, Leilani, Matthew, Nathan, Pegleg, Rachel, Rach, Ren, Richard, Sabrina, Shai and Tinuke.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
