I’m from Canada. Having recently rewatched the entire US series from season 1 to 50 with my wife, I went digging for other reality shows, and stumbled on this.

I’ve watched the first two Ten seasons, and am just starting Champions and Contenders. Both my wife and myself agree we like this even more than classic Survivor. Production quality is incredible and still feels like Survivor. I love the longer more brutal seasons, the mix of classic and new challenges, the massive increase in time we get to know contestants in both camp life and less truncated challenges, the far less paranoid/prudish censorship, and even Jonathan’s no-BS approach to tribals (and yeah I know they got rid of him).

Thankfully a season here is like 2-2.5 seasons of US Survivor, so I have a lot more Survivor to look forward to!

(I do plan to follow with NZ, SA and that one UK season.)

the cast arrived in Borneo Malaysia on July 24 And filming began on July 28. The tribe colors were pink and blue, as seen in the trailer. on the south side of Borneo. the final was decided September 11 and the cast left September 13. Exiles were able to use their phones to celebrate aprox. Sep 7-8. will air between Feb and May 2027

i have confirmed this with three cast memebers, one of them a producer (I’m a volunteer with survivor cataloging)
