Survivor is a British reality television show that was broadcast on the ITV network for two series from 2001 to 2002. It is adapted from the original U.S. show of the same name and first launched in May 2001 with huge promotion and hype from the network and tabloid newspapers. The prize for the winner was £1 million.
It was considered a failure in the ratings by the network, even though it was watched by more viewers than other reality shows at the time, including Big Brother.[1]
Format
A group of contestants (16 in the first series, 12 in the second) were marooned on a desert island and split into two tribes. For the first 20 days, the two tribes competed against each other in reward and immunity challenges. The tribe that won the reward challenge received a special treat that made their life on the island more comfortable. The tribe that won the immunity challenge was safe from any eliminations from the competition for three days.
Meanwhile, the tribe that lost the immunity challenge were forced to vote one of their own off the island. Contestants were free to discuss and scheme about who they wished to vote off, and many alliances were made and broken as the series progressed.
After 20 days, the remaining members of the two tribes merged into a single unit. Reward and immunity challenges were competed for on an individual basis, with the remaining contestants battling to prevent themselves from being voted off. After tribal merger, every contestant who was voted off joined a jury that would ultimately decide which of the two finalists won the £1,000,000 prize.

^1 Combined reward and immunity challenge.
^2 Ular appeared to have won the challenge but because they missed a torch to light it, they were disqualified and Helang won reward and immunity.
The series was perceived as being not very popular with UK viewers.[3][4] Despite initial media hype which surrounded the show, the debut episode opened with 6.6 million viewers, which was considered as a disappointment for ITV.[5] Ratings for the show then began to hang around the 5 million mark, which was half of the audience that the network had expected.[6]
The show initially aired four times a week on ITV. On Monday and Wednesday, highlights from the camp were shown, presented by Mark Austin who also spent 40 days on the island with the contestants. On Tuesday and Thursday, an interview was conducted with the latest contestant to be voted off the island, presented by John Leslie.
However, ITV later decided to air fewer episodes per week to give the show a greater opportunity to "grow",[7] but this failed to have an effect on viewing figures.[8] Nevertheless, the final show managed to attract 7.7 million viewers, peaking at 9 million.[9]
The show was won by Charlotte Hobrough. She was a member of Helang tribe, who were outnumbered by Ular tribe members at tribal merger. However, after successfully voting out everybody but her, the Ular tribe members began to vote against each other, allowing Charlotte to make it through to the final two, along with Jackie Carey. Hobrough won by a 7-0 vote. There was controversy when viewers were invited to phone in to cast their preference; this was via a premium rate phone call. Despite being told many times by the host that the phone vote would not be counted in the final tally, several viewers felt cheated. This was rectified for the second series, where the phone vote did count.

^Note 3 : Simon first voted for Uzma, causing a tie; however, in a revote, Simon changed his vote and voted for J.J., sending her home.

Elimination Notes
- Nick: Although Jackie was targeted for being the weakest player, most of Ular voted out Nick as they felt he was taking control of the game too early. (5-3)
- J.J.: Both J.J. and Uzma were in the hot seat. An elder alliance of J.J., Jayne and Andy were voting for Uzma for being the weakest member, whereas Charloote, Adrian and Uzma were voting for J.J. for being too domineering. At tribal council, Simon and James split their votes and there was a 4-4 tie. The other players were then sent to a location where they could privately discuss, and then revote. A second vote (not aired) was tied after both Simon and James changed their votes (to J.J and Uzma respectively), again cancelling one another out. On the third vote, both James and Simon voted for J.J. (4-4), (4-4), (5-3)
- Uzma: Uzma's weakness cost her dearly, and although Adrian and Charlotte rallied against Jayne, Helang felt that Uzma was weak. Uzma voted for James. (4-2-1)
- Sarah: Although Sarah and Eve felt safe in their alliance with Richard and Jackie, Eve attempted to make waves by campaigning to send Jackie out. Richard objected and told Jackie, and between them they made a pact with the tribe outcast Zoe. Richard convinced Sarah and Eve that he would stick with their alliance, but joined Jackie and the others in blindsiding Sarah. (5-2)
- Jayne: Adrian and Jayne were the two targets; Jayne for her weak performance in challenges and for mothering people too much, and Adrian for his lack of work around camp. After Jayne asked to leave (as she was missing her son), the tribe agreed to vote her out. (5-1)
- Adrian: Two main duos existed in the Helang tribe: Andy & James, and Adrian & Charlotte. Simon promised loyalty to both groups, but at tribal council he betrayed Adrian and voted him out as lazy. (3-2)
- Simon: The Ular alliance decided to vote out the Helang members one-by-one. Simon was first to go because Andy had won immunity and Ular bore Simon a grudge from an incident during one of the earlier challenges. Helang chose to split their votes across Ular so that their preferred players would win out in the event of a tie later in the game. (6-2-1-1)
- Andy: Andy was the next victim of the Ular alliance, as he was seen more of threat than Charlotte and James. (6-2-1)
- James: The Ular members stuck together once again and voted out James, who they believed was a bigger threat than Charlotte. (6-1-1)
- Pete: Although Charlotte was Ular's next target, Pete lost immunity. The Ular members then saw their chance to vote him out, as they thought he was a physical threat and that he was well liked by the Helang members of the jury. Richard told Pete, who was upset (as he had asked to be told when he was going to be voted off and the others refused to tell him). Pete then told Charlotte. Charlotte voted against Eve according to the Helang strategy. Pete stuck the original plan and voted against Charlotte, keeping his word even knowing that he had been betrayed. Before leaving, Pete pretended to be taken by surprise, and to his betrayal personally. He threw his bible at Richard. (5-1-1)
- Zoe: Fed up with Eve and Zoe, Richard and Jackie chose to break away from the Ular alliance and join Charlotte to form a new one. They decided to vote out Zoe for being too self-confident. Unaware of this, Eve, Mick, and Zoe voted for Charlotte according to Ular's original strategy. Charlotte and Zoe tied at tribal council 3-3. The tie would be broken by the amount of past votes the players had received. Charlotte had one previous vote against her, while - partially thanks to Helang's voting strategy - Zoe had five. Thus Zoe was eliminated. (3-3)
- Eve: Eve was unable to reconcile herself to dealing with Richard, Jackie and Charlotte, and became isolated. For their part, they did not get on with Eve. Even Mick, Eve's only ally, decided he had had enough of her. At camp, Eve took some of the camp tampons (although she later claimed she put some back) and a hidden bottle of ketchup which she drank alone in the jungle. When confronted at tribal council, Eve agreed that this had happened but claimed she had no regrets of doing it. She was then voted out. (4-1)
- Mick: The alliance of Charlotte, Jackie, and Richard voted out their final non-aligned member, Mick. He was also considered a favourite of the jury, which contributed to his elimination. (3-1)
- Richard: After winning the crucial final immunity challenge, Charlotte was safe from elimination. Jackie and Richard were forced to vote for each other. Charlotte voted out well-liked Richard as he was more of a physical and mental threat to her than unpopular Jackie. When the final vote was being cast, Richard knew he would be eliminated and whispered "Good luck" to Charlotte. (2-1)
- Jackie: The jury disliked Jackie and felt she was carried to the end by the others. She received no votes. (0-7)
- Charlotte: The jury was impressed that she was able to make it so far despite winning only one individual immunity challenge. She was also more likable than Jackie. She gained the votes of all the jury members: Andy, James, Pete, Zoe, Eve, Mick, and Richard. Andy and James voted for Charlotte since she was an ex-Helang member, Pete because he would only vote for Charlotte or Richard after being betrayed, Zoe because Charlotte "grew on her", Eve because she admitted that Charlotte did play a good game, Mick because of how Charlotte answered his questions compared to Jackie, and Richard because he felt Jackie didn't "understand the beauty" of the island and that Charlotte wasn't afraid to be who she was. (7-0)

Despite the lack of success of the first series, ITV decided to bring back Survivor with some major changes. The second series, known as Survivor: Panama, was filmed on two islands in the Bocas del Toro archipelago of Panama. It was broadcast from 13 March 2002 to 29 May 2002. The initial tribes were South Island (with a turtle as their mascot) and North Island (with a frog as their mascot).

Elimination Notes
Following the television portrayal of some of the contestants in the first series, most of those in the second felt that they would prefer to maintain allegiance to their alliances, even at the risk of their future in the game. John, for example, would say after Dave was voted off: "if someone had explained my tactics at the start of the game, then I wouldn't have believed that I would jeopardise such a significant amount of money just for some contract written in the sand four weeks ago with someone I had only met 48 hours previously. But it is how you want to be perceived and how you feel you have played the game."
- Sarah: Although the tribe were disqualified due to Susannah's mistake in the immunity challenge, the tribe agreed to vote Sarah off at her request. (5-1)
- Lee: Lee was voted off because John, Jonny and Susannah decided that their position was better if they kept Bridget, who was not interested in building alliances and who helped around camp. South Island were only in this position because of John's misjudged showboating when well ahead in the immunity challenge but again someone else paid for the mistake. (4-1)
- Tayfun: Though Meeta had asked to be voted off if the opportunity arose, Tayfun was voted off because he did not fit in with the rest of his tribe. (5-1)
- Meeta: Meeta asked to be voted off and North Island agreed to do so. (4-1)
- N/A: The host announced a tribal council would not take place due to the merge. The public would get the seventh vote in the jury.
- Helen: The tribes chose to vote for Helen and Bridget following a deal between John, Jonny and Alastair during the immunity challenge. Helen lost to Bridget in the tiebreaker (a quiz about Panama) when the two former tribes voted against each other in two successive votes. (4-4, 4-4, lost tiebreaker)
- Alastair: After Helen's elimination, South Island proceeded to pick off the North Island members. Alastair, a physically very strong man was the first victim despite a last-ditch attempt by Drew to put herself forward in his place. (4-3)
- Drew: South Island's second victim, Drew was seen as a bigger threat than Dave. Jonny voted for her despite a relationship developing between the two of them. (4-2)
- Dave: South Island's final victim, as well as the final North Island member. Dave failed to win immunity and could not convince South Island members to break ranks. (4-1)
- Bridget: After Bridget lost immunity, she was voted off by the long-established alliance of John, Jonny, and Susannah. (3-1)
- John: Susannah won immunity and held to an agreement that she believed was in place between her and Jonny, even though she believed John was less popular with the jury. (1-0)
- Susannah: The jury felt she was carried to the final round by John and Jonny, as well as undeserving. She received significant hostility from the jury as her accent leant some to believe that she was "posh". She received no votes from the Jury and didn't win the public's 7th vote. (0-7)
- Jonny: The jury saw him as the lesser of the two evils as well as the more deserving player. Jonny gained all the jury member's votes: Helen, Alistair, Drew, Dave, Bridget, and John. Jonny also received an extra vote from the public. Jonny is only person to never have a vote played against him in the UK edition of Survivor. (7 to 0)
Facts
There were several changes in the traditional format. The number of contestants was dropped to twelve, to allow viewers to get to know the cast better. Presenters Mark Austin and John Leslie were dropped in favour of Channel 4 cricket presenter Mark Nicholas. The show also was only broadcast in a once-a-week slot, on Wednesday nights, often at 9:45pm due to live Champions League football airing that night on ITV1. Each episode was split into two parts, a main one hour programme that contained highlights from the days on the island that were featured and a secondary, half-hour programme that aired after an interlude for the news, which featured the latest evicted contestant from the show involved in a private face-to-face interview with Nicholas.
In the fifth episode, the remaining players were merged and then told there would be no immunity this episode. At the Tribal Council they were then told nobody was being voted off that episode and that a vote by the television audience would act as a seventh jury member in the final vote. Other additions included tree mail. Contestants were given a cryptic clue about what the day's challenge would hold for them by producers.
Viewers were also promised that any major action - such as the sex that was edited out of a first series episode - would definitely be shown this year. There was extra footage available to digital viewers. An extra show, Survivor: Raw was shown on ITV2 after the main show had aired. This was presented by last year's winner, Charlotte Hobrough, and Ed Hall. It included extra footage not shown on the main show, discussions, interviews with evictees, phone-ins and emails.
The show was more predictable the second time around, as the contestants decided to stay loyal to each other after tribal merger. The former South Island members successfully voted off all of the remaining North Island members after merger.
The Grand Prize winner, Jonny Gibb, won by a 7-0 vote against Susannah Moffatt. The audience vote was 89% in his favor.
Surprisingly both winners were from the police force. Charlotte being a Detective Constable and Jonny a Police Detective.
Despite the changes, Survivor still received low viewing figures for its second series, largely due to its late timeslot which was criticised by fans whilst media experts believed this was a simple idea by ITV to place the programme into a "graveyard slot" just to fulfill contractual requirements. Subsequently, ITV decided not to bring it back for a third series. This is in stark contrast to the US version which has enjoyed consistent success and popularity.
ITV finally found a successful reality TV show with I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, with many similarities to Survivor, and which received massive ratings in August 2002. The show's similarity in content to Survivor led many viewers (both in the UK and US) to believe that the shows had some licensing agreement, however this was not the case. Legal action was sought by CBS to prevent broadcast in the US however the court ruled against, stating that "Celebrity is different enough from Survivor that CBS would have difficulty prevailing in its underlying copyright infringement suit."[10]
1st series contestant Zoe Lyons, has since become a successful comedienne and has appeared on several BBC radio shows including Clive Anderson's Chat Room (BBC Radio 2), PMQ with Andy Parsons (BBC Radio 4), 4 Stands Up (BBC Radio 4) and The Jon Richardson Show (BBC 6 Music). She has also appeared on the BBC panel show Mock The Week twice.
