Plot summary for
"Survivor" (2000)

advertisement

Over the spring of 2000, sixteen average Americans (divided into two tribes which eventually merge into one) were sequestered on the deserted island of Pulau Tiga for 39 days. For their stay, they must learn to live as a tribe, although eventually, it is everyone for themselves. They compete in challenges for "luxuries" (a barbecue, a phone call home, etc.) and immunity. Every three days, the losers of the latter challenges must face tribal council, where they will account for their actions by voting one person off of the island. At the end of day 39, there will be only one survivor left who will leave the island with one million dollars. Based on the Swedish game show, "Operation Robinson." Written by ZeroG1

Sixteen contestants are stranded in a remote location with little more than the clothes on their back, a huge sack of rice, one luxury item each, and a bevy of camera crews. Every three days (or one episode), a contestant is voted off; the lone survivor of this process takes home a million dollars. The contestants start off divided into two teams that compete against each other, with the losing team forced to vote a member off; when the numbers are reduced to 10 contestants, the teams merge and it's everyone for himself. Written by Jon Reeves {jreeves@imdb.com}

The second sequel of the incredibly popular "reality TV" show. A group of ordinary people from a variety of backgrounds are placed in the middle of Africa, where they must use wits, strength and teamwork to keep from starving, baking, dying of thirst or a variety of other nasty possible fates. In each episode, the members will vote to remove one person from the game until only one remains to claim the grand prize. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher {rocher@fiberbit.net}

The first sequel of the incredibly popular "reality TV" show. A group of ordinary people from a variety of backgrounds are placed in the middle of the Australian Outback, where they must use wits, strength and teamwork to keep from starving, baking, drowning or a variety of other nasty possible fates. In each episode, the members will vote to remove one person from the game until only one remains to claim the grand prize. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher {rocher@fiberbit.net}

Aboard a boat in the clear waters surrounding the paradise island nation of Palau, twenty strangers from different walks of life eagerly await the chance to outwit, outplay and outlast each other in pursuit of the coveted million-dollar prize. Out at sea, Survivors are shocked to learn that the game has already begun as the first male and female castaways to reach the beach will claim early Immunity. Surprised they aren't even divided into tribes yet, the twenty Survivors immediately paddle their large outrigger toward the beach that will serve as their camp. Written by m_i_k_e151
