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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
