About "Survivor"

The reality competition, which debuted in 2000, is coming up on its 35th season. Cameras roll 24/7 as contestants participate in both team and individual challenges, competing to keep their places at the remote location. A Tribal Council meets weekly, and after group votes, competitors are eliminated and forced to extinguish their torches. One player is voted off each week, until one person finishes strong in the final challenge and is deemed the 'Sole Survivor.' Grand Prize for the winner is $1 million.

Eligibility Requirements:

1. If you have previously applied for SURVIVOR and you were a finalist in Los Angeles, please do not reapply. Unless you specifically notify us in writing that we should not consider your prior application and submission in connection with an upcoming SURVIVOR, we will be reviewing your previously submitted applications and videotape submissions for SURVIVOR. We will not consider any new application or submission you may submit. Second, if you have previously applied for SURVIVOR and you were nota finalist in Los Angeles, feel free to reapply if you wish because we will not be considering your previously submitted applications and videotape submissions for upcoming SURVIVORs.

Contestants will be selected based upon having the following traits:

*Strong-willed

*Outgoing

*Adventurous

*Physically and mentally adept

*Adaptable to new environments

*Interesting lifestyles, backgrounds and personalities The prize for this competition is $1,000,000, but this prize money will not come easily. Our competitors must be willing to commit to traveling and living in a remote location for approximately seven weeks. Contestants will be filmed up to 24 hours a day by television camera crews to be broadcast on national television. This is reality television. They will actually be living in a remote location, and they will actually be responsible for building their own shelter and finding their own food.
